[aprssig] GO32 Traffic

[Andrew Rich]

What is wrong with a pass all satellite server ?

I think it would be a good thing to see satellite traffic.

That is a pity about GO32 and APRS-IS. I started to invest some time and
money into a GO32 station.

I had proposed a SATGATE Server for all SATgates to connect to and it would
filter out all NON APRS packets from GO-32 and pass the APRS packets.  But
AE5PL chose the simplistic solution of blocking all GO32 packets from all
javAPRSSrvr's worldwide.

So anything that goes through a javAPRSSrvr will not allow any GO32 packets
to reach the APRS-IS.  Although user packets via GO32 will get through OK,
the inability to monitor the operation of the APRS bulletins, beacons and
status from GO-32 via the APRS-IS is frustrating.
