Summary

  • Documents investigation of receiver position ping-pong caused by callsign collisions
  • Lists all affected receivers with raw APRS evidence (YARA, AVX993, AVX986, and others)
  • Includes diagnostic queries for future investigation

Test plan

  • Review documentation for accuracy

Multiple OGN receivers sharing the same callsign cause position
ping-pong in the database. Documents affected receivers (YARA,
AVX993, AVX986, and others), raw APRS evidence, and diagnostic
queries.

Pull request overview

Adds internal documentation capturing an investigation into OGN receiver position “ping-pong” caused by callsign collisions, including evidence examples and troubleshooting queries for follow-up.

Changes:

  • Documented how callsign collisions lead to receiver position oscillation and warning logs.
  • Listed confirmed collision cases (e.g., YARA, AVX993, AVX986) with raw APRS beacon evidence and observed characteristics.
  • Added operational/diagnostic commands and a SQL query to retrieve raw beacons from the database.
