Incorrect power sent
Issue #94
resolved
- Open the prefs to the Station tab, and set Station Power to 49 watts.
- Go to the Beacon tab and make sure the power/height/gain information is sent in the beacon.
- Manually send a beacon packet.
- Go to aprs.fi and check the station information.
- Notice that it shows the power as 9W instead of 49W.
- Look at the raw packet received by aprs.fi. Notice that the PHG is indeed incorrect. For example:
2021-05-11 10:04:28 CDT: KI6HQT-10>APQTH1,TCPIP*,qAC,T2ROMANIA:=3015.37N/09744.60W#PHG3030QTH.app experimental digipeater
. It should bePHG7030
.
I’m classifying this as major because PHG is used to estimate the range of a digipeater, so it’s pretty important to digipeater functionality.

I consider any incorrect information in a transmitted packet to be major.
I appreciate this; you’re testing scenarios that I personally have never had occasion to use before.
