I doubt anyone will ever look at this but it would be nice if it showed something - Is there an option in Cumulus that I've missed?
Thanks.

APRS showing unknown device
I'm a radio amateur so I've enabled APRS with my callsign but when I look on aprs.fi, it shows unknown device.
I doubt anyone will ever look at this but it would be nice if it showed something - Is there an option in Cumulus that I've missed?
Thanks.

Re: APRS showing unknown device
I don't think this is something that is part of the APRS/CWOP protocol. What you see with device is probably something that is only possible for radio transmit broadcasts.
There is no mention of it in the documentation:
http://www.aprs.org/doc/APRS101.PDF
But I'm not 100%. I've just never seen this filled out unless it is coming from a radio. I've tested with various CWOP upload software and none of them affect this device field that you've pointed out.

Re: APRS showing unknown device
That's fair enough, thank you. I just wanted to make sure I'd not missed something.
