[arm-allstar] APRS

Thanks for that last little tidbit of info there Jim!
I hadn't fiddled with APRS in like almost 20 years...  But I figured if it would show my repeaters on a map, why not give it shot?
I edited the files you talked about, signed up on APRS and did the passcode generator thingy - and voila!  my repeater showed up on the map as N5MBM-1 within seconds!  Pretty simple and straightforward...
But now that I have it working (and keep in mind I hadn't used this in YEARS) I don't see the frequency and tone for my repeater listed in the "info" for that location...  Am I missing something?

Or....  Do I need to put that info in the "comment" line?

On a side note - YAY!  I got it working!  :)

Thanks!
Bill - N5MBM

BINGO,

I was using my website password to enter APRS and not the APRS generator code for operation

I did not know that we can have a generator code pass and the first time I hear that

a whole difference,

Thank you for your patience
