Question about RF query

[9M2PJU]

Hello OM,
If I add callsign = *, will aprsd listen to any callsign from RF ?

[hemna]

I'm not sure what you are referring to? Is this a setting in the config file?

[9M2PJU]

yes OM

You have to set callsign to the callsign you want APRSD to send packets as.
If you want to listen to any packets coming from a tcpkiss connection, then
run the aprsd listen command, after you have configured aprsd.conf to point to the tcpkiss server.

So i need to have a tcpkiss server to listen to any callsign who send query?

You mentioned aprsd listening to RF. There are 2 ways to do that, via a TCPKISS connection or a SerialKISS connection.

The other options is if aprsd has internet access, then it can connect to an aprs server over a tcp socket which is in the
aprs_network section of the config file. It's up to you to decide which is best for you and what you are trying to accomplish.

You need a valid legal ham callsign to use aprsd to connect to aprs as it will transmit acks for packets recieved for the configured callsign.

Thanks OM. But if i'm using the internet, will the aprsd reply to any callsign who sends a query to it or just callsign that i have listed on the config only?

If there is an igate within listening distance of your radio, yes APRSD will get the message and respond to it accordingly

Like I said before, the callsign configured in your config is the callsign of the APRSD instance.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. but how about this line # The Ham callsign to allow access to the query plugin from RF. # (string value) callsign = means any listed callsign in the (callsign = X0XXX) should accept a response from aprsd ?

No. It's exactly what the comment says.

# The Ham callsign to allow access to the query plugin from RF.

The query plugin allowed the admin/owner of the APRSD instance to take actions on the running aprsd instance.
