I would like to set up my allstarlink system to report position information to the aprs system. Can someone tell me how to set up this password? Also, are the default server and port listed in the example below what should be used? I have searched the aprs site and couldn't find who to request this information from. Chuck Henderson, WB9UUS

There have (obviously) been some changes/improvements made to the Echolink and APRS/GPS subsystems within app_rpt.
Included in these is the ability for a node to report its "fixed" GPS coordinates to the APRS network, even if it does not have a GPS receiver connected.
Please see the following:

Of course, the latest copies of app_gps and chan_echolink need to be downloaded from the SVN.
