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. Yes, that's precisely where the fix needs to happen.

Here is an example from the aprs.fi raw log. Can anyone shed some light on why N9DOA shows up as "[Invalid object]"? Is it a problem with aprs.fi or with the code in app_rpt, or with the way I setup rpt.conf?

WB9UUS-12 is 9 characters, but N9DOA-12 is only 8 --- you need to pad it out with spaces so the payload is: ;N9DOA-12 *151333z4030.28N708859.28WAAsterisk app_rpt user (note the extra space before the "*") -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork." - Edward Abbey -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork." - Edward Abbey _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users
