I have Xastir 1.98 running on Ubuntu 9.10 with a TT4. It seems that it works right, I'm sending a lot of packets to APRS-IS and at least a few packets as a digi. But when I look at the raw packets on APRS.FI (my station id is KC9NVN - no SSID used at this point). 



I set up the TT4 per the Yahoo Group file Fillin Digi V0.64.pdf - I set it up and let it run for a couple of days without Xastir attached and seemd OK. 



It looks like I'm getting errors in the digi packets but I'm not sure if the bad packets are from my origin or something that I'm passing along. A sample of the packets is below:

2010-09-13 15:00:36 CDT: KC9NVN>APTT4,KB9WZM-10,WIDE2*,qAR,W9TMW:<0x03>k [Unsupported packet format] 
2010-09-13 15:20:07 CDT: KC9NVN>APTT4,KB9WZM-10,WIDE2*,qAR,W9TMW:MYCALL KC9NVN [Unsupported packet format] 
2010-09-13 15:20:08 CDT: KC9NVN>APTT4,KB9WZM-10,WIDE2*,qAR,N9QIP:<0x03>UNPROTO APX199 VIA WIDE2-2 [Unsupported packet format] 



I see some packets that seem to be OK (at least not flagged as unsupported packet format errors) but others are, so I *think* it might be that I'm not the source but just passing along packets that are wrong. But certainly not very confident about that. 



Can someone point me where to look and see if I'm building bad packets? 



Thanks!
