I had UISS, CAT7200, and SatGate2 running last night. My hourly beacon was showing up just fine on the APRS network, but I was disappointing that nothing appeared to get routed from the RF side to the Internet.
When I woke up this morning, I eventually made it to my Wombat Room (man-cave where my ham radio gear is locate — OK the furnace room, especially comfortable in the hot summer). I was expecting to see that I simply hadn’t received any packets from the RS0ISS. That was not the case, the UISS log showed many:

So there were plenty of opportunities for routing to occur, but it had not. I checked the IGate Settings and saw this:
The RF to Inet IGate is turned on, setup for only packets that I receive directly. BUT WAIT, what’s that “Gate only these” callsign? Is it R0ISS* ? That is the DEFAULT setting for SatGate2. It should have been RS0ISS*. I’ve made that correction and will wait for passes later today to see if thing are routing.
By the way I received many packets from PSAT-1 last night. They won’t route through with the current “Gate only these” callsign. And setting it to ARISS will allow too much to route through. For now I’m trying PSAT-1 as I understand that call is used when the digipeater is turned off.
