[sarex] ISS digi status

[Sil - ZL2CIA <zl2cia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The following unproto paths will work with the ISS TNC. I have determined 
this by experimentation, and confirmed it by sending numerous packets.

Set "Send" to "RS0ISS-11" via <nothing>
Returned packet from the ISS has the structure "RS0ISS,RS0ISS-1*,SGATE-11" 
(generated by the ISS TNC)

Setting SGATE-11 as an alias in forwarding ground stations should see these 
packets get to FINDU.

Send to "RS0ISS-1" or "RS0ISS-2" via <nothing>
Returned packet from the ISS has the form "RS0ISS, RS0ISS-1*"

Below are some examples record of the air:

ZL2TE has also tried this with success. We continue to experiment down 
here. I know that this is not how the ISS TNC is "supposed" to work, but 
this *IS* how it works at present. Setting your path this way means that 
your packets will be digipeated.

Using the recommended paths of APRS via RS0ISS-4,WIDE,SGATE  (or various 
variations) does not work..

Good luck
