Hello,

Thanks for putting this library together!

I've tried modifying the code slightly to allow for sending a station callsign with an APRS SSID (e.g. K2MTS-1). The changes involve logging in to rotate.aprs.net (instead of cwop.aprs.net) with my callsign only (K2MTS) plus passcode, and using K2MTS-1 in the generated APRS packet. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. Oddly, if I connect to the APRS server directly and paste in the packet that the library generates, it works just fine:

I haven't done a ton of troubleshooting, but I thought it might be worth asking in case there's something obviously wrong in my process that I might just not be aware of.

It looks like CWOP is expecting relative barometric pressure, not absolute.

Changing the API variable to request baromrelin seems to give CWOP the data it's expecting.

Let me know your thoughts on this change.

I just got an app set up to use this to push to CWOP, and I noticed the packets it’s generating have the coordinates in DDMMSS format, not DDMM.HH (degrees decimal minutes) like APRS requires. It’s causing my plotted location to be about a mile off.

Hi, as shown in the following full dependency graph of ambient-aprs, ambient-api requires urllib3 * ， while the installed version of _requests _(2.22.0) requires urllib3 <1.26,>=1.21.1.

According to Pip's “first found wins” installation strategy, urllib3 1.25.7 is the actually installed version.

Although the first found package version urllib3 1.25.7 just satisfies the later dependency constraint （urllib3 <1.26,>=1.21.1), it will lead to a build failure once developers release a newer version of urllib3.

Dependency tree--------

ambient-aprs - 0.11.2
| +- ambient-api(install version:1.5.2 version range:*)
| | +- requests(install version:2.22.0 version range:*)
| | | +- certifi(install version:2019.11.28 version range:>=2017.4.17)

Thanks for your attention.
