[amsat-bb] Satellite aprs packet capture.

[Sil]

Hi,

A while ago, I asked about ways to improve my delivery of capture 
satellite APRS packets. I didn't explain myself well, so I am making a 
second attempt.

It is perfectly possible that I misunderstand how this should work, or 
that I am doing something wrong.

I have a spare machine that has Windows and UIView installed  on it and 
I have been using that as an Sgate.

My Internet connection was not lost at all during this pass.

Shown below is a typical example of what I see.

UIView shows this packet (below) as gated to the Net (cut and pasted 
from the "Traffic gated from RF to the Internet" window) .

This is from the Findu site:

PSAT-1]APOFF,TCPIP*,qAS,N0AN:T#098,806,071,919,873,771,00011100

I would expect my gated packet to appear on the APRS-IS  at 
20151101064214 (give or take a few seconds).
I would have thought it would be shown between the two records at
20151101055630
and
20151101064809

No other captured packet beat mine to the APRS-IS. In fact there are no 
packets at all from ZL or VK stations who would have been in the 
satellite footprint shown (none, as I write).

I looks to me as though the packet didn't make it to the APRS-IS. If any 
other station also gated packets during this pass (which seems likely), 
then those didn't make it either.

Is there anything I can change or alter at my end to improved the chance 
of captured and gated packets making it to the APRS-IS?
