Building a LoRa APRS 439Mhz iGate (Part 1)

Not having used it for a few weeks, when I came to test my Raspberry Pi LoRa APRS IGate last night, I found that it wouldn’t upload my tracker’s position, giving the error: [Packet corrupted by iGate]

So this morning I’ve modified the Python code to remove these fields, and it’s now working again:


If anyone else is using this project, I can supply details of my modification (just added one line).
