Ground Station not visible on glidernet.org #1

Description

@AdamM68

My ground station BudzPL started to work, it is receiving FANET packets from my T-ECHO but the station itself is not visible on ognrange.glidernet.org.
My station is sendig this APRS code:
`[10:13:21] BudzPL>OGNFNT,TCPIP*,qAC,GLIDERN1:/081321h5240.24NI01703.69E&/A=000360

[10:13:26] BudzPL>OGNFNT,TCPIP*,qAC,GLIDERN1:>081325h 0.6.0 CPU:0.0 110`

I asked AI what's wrong and received that answer:

Yes, the error is still there in the same spot. Although you changed the callsign to BudzPL, the packet structure still sends the letter I where the OGN server expects a table separator.

Where exactly is the error?

Your current packet:
...5240.24N I 01703.69E & ...

  • I: This is the Symbol Table Identifier. In this position, the letter I is treated as an "overlay." For OGN ground stations, this must be a forward slash /.
  • &: This is the Symbol Code (Map Symbol). While & represents an IGate (a black diamond with a 'G'), the OGN standard for base stations is the # (house symbol).

How to fix this in BreezedudeGS?

In your web configuration panel, look for the APRS / OGN Settings section and check these fields:

  1. Symbol Table (or Table ID): Change it from I to / (forward slash).
  2. Symbol: Change it to # (hash/pound sign).
  3. Overlay: If there is a specific "Overlay" field with the letter I in it, clear it (leave it empty).

Why does this matter?

The ognrange.glidernet.org map filters incoming packets. If it sees the I separator, it might assume the device is not a standard OGN receiver station and ignore it when calculating range statistics. The correct format that will "pop up" on the map immediately is:
...5240.24N/01703.69E#...

.. but there are no such settings in BreezedudeGS WEB GUI :(
