[App_rpt-users] APRS TT and APRS BEACON rate on ALLSTAR LINK..

[Chuck Henderson]

Well I don't think I can enter a space using touchtone so it must need to
be fixed in the app_rpt software.
I am running the latest software as of May 9 2012.  I'm not sure where in
the C code to fix this but I think maybe it would be in gps.c
                 sprintf(buf,"%s>APSTAR:;%s-12*%02d%02d%02dz%s%c%sA%s\n",

call,theircall,tm->tm_hour,tm->tm_min,tm->tm_sec,lat,overlay,lon,comment);

if theircall is less than 6 char then theircall-12 needs to be padded on
the right with spaces to make it a total of 9 char in length.
I think that it will be easy for Jim to fix, he might even have it fixed
faster than I can type this email.
