APRS messaging and AX25 formatting

[strobesactual]

Chandra,

Hello, and thank you for building this code. I have been able to successfully get one RaspberryPi to message a second thanks to your code. My next goal will be to get one computer to broadcast a message to be picked up by a 433MHz LoRa iGate to put into the APRS network, as visible on APRS.fi

My question goes to formatting. How would I use your code to format the message so that it gets picked up? There are libraries like PyHam AX.25 (https://pypi.org/project/pyham_ax25/) that could format the message but I am not sure that the transmission will be just that format. It seems your code will include the Packet Parameter information in addition to the AX25 formatted message. How can I reconcile this so that I am able to successfully broadcast into the APRS network?

Thank you for your advice! Austin (KW5AUS)
