The example below has been used by VK2DOT XRouter 16 & 32 bit for years, on the Australian APRS network of 147.125Mhz.

 

NOTE: No IGATE is used in this example. XR32 & XR16 uses port 8000 to interface to UI-View.

Setup XR32 port for APRS:

; =======================================================

;     Example APRS-only port.

;     Note the use of an alternate IDTEXT, and the use of CFLAGS to

;     disable connected mode operations, thus MAXFRAME,FRACK,PACLEN

;     etc are not needed.
