Hi Mike,

> CQ,ARISS,SGATE,WIDE
> CQ,ARISS,SGATE,WIDE
> CQ,ARISS,WIDE1-1

I set my UNPROTO to CQ VIA RS0ISS (although ARISS does alias with
RS0ISS). That is the only path I need for a digipeat via the ISS. I
haven't needed the various flavors of WIDE.

I found when using UI-View that the map display of what you've heard
is nice. I usually operate a bit more minimally when I'm looking for
keyboard contacts. I do without the UI-View map. I use UISS for my
keyboard operation.

I've found that the UZ7HO Soundmodem software in place of AGWPE
"hears" a bit better. The thing with the soundcard packet modes is
that the software packet engine expects a complete packet and correct
checksum before displaying the message. With my hardware TNC I can set
PASSALL ON. It lets the partial packets through which are often good
enough for human interpretation rather than demanding a correct
checksum.

A few times a year PCSAT gets enough sunlight to come alive and
digipeat on 145.825. Just set your path UNPROTO CQ VIA W3ADO-1. The
map display for who makes it through for PCSAT is at
