I was just about to ask, when...

I am still struggling to process the fact that Lynn is no longer with us. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Lynn (and Paul) several times when we worked bike ride events near Orlando over quite a few years. I was both astonished and honored that he remembered me each time we saw each other. I was particularly surprised when he APRS messaged me out of the blue one time when he must have realized I was actively mobile. Lynn was remarkable. He was the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. His passing profoundly saddened me. We all miss him. In early December, I was having a small issue with the software. I was literally getting ready to put a message on here with the hope that Lynn would respond with words of wisdom as he always did, when word of his untimely passing struck. I've been so dismayed that I haven't gotten around to putting that message on here until now to see if one of the other clever folks here might have an answer. I run the software on several computers - they're all a little different since they serve different purposes. One of my instances of the software always starts with the "View" set to "None" and the map tile selection set to one other than the "Original" one. At some point, I must have selected those options (although I don't know why I'd select "None" for the "View"), but they have somehow become somewhat permanent. I have to change them at every start. I suspect that information is stored in the XML file somewhere, but I can't find where that might be. I know just enough about the XML file to be dangerous, and I've searched for every version of character strings I could think of that might be used. Long ago, I thought I was told that if you ended the program in a less-than-full window, the XML file would store all the current parameters so that it would open again as you left it when you closed it. I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to work, so maybe I misunderstood that situation. So, does anyone happen to know where or how those two parameters (selections for "View" and "Screen/Tile set") are stored so I can change them? I have no problem editing the XML file as long as I know what I'm looking for (and I do make a copy of the current working file before I start tinkering...). Thanks. Gil Chapin, WB2UTI

ANSRVR Relocated
I've been trying my best to keep APRS Foundation-related activity confined to our new group on 开云体育 (/g/aprsfoundation); occasionally, we encounter information and news important enough to warrant wider distribution. That said - I have some exciting news to share... I did some sleuthing with Paul, Lynn's son(KJ4ERJ—SK), to determine where Lynn hosted ANSRVR. We found it! To make a long story short, ANSRVR officially moved to a new server yesterday morning. For you IT propeller heads (like myself), some details about the server: OS: Windows Server 2022 Datacenter vCPU: 2 Memory: 4 GB Storage: 100 GB NVMe SSD Location: Chicago, IL Thanks so much! 73 for now! -JeffH

Instruction review
7
Good afternoon. You may have seen the posts from Glen, KB0RPJ. Our ARES group was exercising APRS group messaging during our Blizzard Warning. I am working on an instructional document for APRS including: Winlink pending mail notification SMS texting Group messaging Are there features beyond these 3 to include? I am not being exhaustive (such as instructions for send/receiving WINLINK via APRS). Just trying to get operators to expand their APRS functionality & use. I would be interested in reviews of the attachment for accuracy & clarity. Thank you. Joe

Objects
2
Is there a way to just beacon objects & not your callsign? I am currently just using the app on my pc. No radio hooked up. I mainly wanted to beacon an object to the maps. The repeater here & some information in the beacon txt. But when I beacon the object 145.330- my callsign is next to it. So it makes it harder to see unless you zoom way in. For now ive just separated some distance from the object & my callsign. But I was curious if there was a way to just omit the callsign. Especially since I'm not doing direct RF. Or is what I'm doing about the only thing to do?

dev version server
13
(branching off to keep the source code thread clean) I see in message (/g/APRSISCE/message/37609) a reference to “check for server” in a log file, where the user wasn’t able to check for a new version. The server in questions was aprsisce.dnsalias.net. The dnsalias.net service is a way to get a permanent hostname for a dynamic IP address like you’d have for home internet. At this moment, aprsisce.dnsalias.net resolves to 68.205.53.159, which is the IP someone reported as unreachable. Based on this, I think there’s a computer inside Lynn’s home that is turned off, perhaps his development machine. Or perhaps the service in the house is powered off.

PHG setting

Good afternoon. I was setting up a digi based on a RPI and was curious what the standard is for specifying the antenna gain as part of the PHG. Is it Dbi or Dbd? Thanks and 73, Tim KB2MFS

New hams
Would you send me the email of any new hams that you know that would receive free ham gear from KJ4ERJ SK? I received many pieces of equipment from living hams and would like to pass on the tradition, but finding those who don't have everything yet is nearly impossible. This can also include you or not-so-new hams, I am not particular, if you are interested, reply to me directly. Please don't click reply (to the list). Paul KJ4DXK@...

My signal not decoded
7
Dear all I am using IC9700 radio with Gpredict with rig control for APRS decoding in ISS satellite passes. I am using UISS software and UZ7HO sound modem. Also using APRSE32 software. In the sound modem settings, I am using usb audio codec as input device and output device. When I send a text message my message is not decoded and not hearing my tx signals. But I am getting rx . I have checked the radio settings and uiss settings and sound modem settings with one of my friends whose signals are decoded. I could not find any issue. Can anyone suggest a solution. Regards Balu VU2RTF

Office open for business almost as usual
Following the funeral of our late friend and group owner for his wonderful creation APRSISCE32, As far as I am aware and I have not been informed otherwise everything went as planned. Although Lynn's Son Paul was in touch almost up to the last moment, cummunications were brief. Lynn Deffenbaughs aprsisce program got a good work out, As wx conditions were favorable for a fleet of space shuttle's I had hoped to have all five in missing man formation as I did for Roger Barker (G4IDE SK) author of UIView32. Unfortunately, and this is a memory issue for me, I had not thought to practice in advance because I always found it easy to do, I left this until I thought the appropriate moment, as I hit the launch button a shooting star crossed the map at his late fathers place of rest. Bingo! lift off was accomplished, My screw up was using a button in Icons that displays multiple Icons saving lots of hard work,(But unfamiliar with how it actually worked!) anyone who saw this on their map was done with the kind permission of Paul Deffenbaugh KJ4DXK. I have asked Paul privately to take the time to grieve and not show up for work on this group, from personal experience ...time is a great healer! I for one have been hit hard and I am sure I am far from being alone at this time, I am not a very religeous chap but I do understand the comfort a service brings to one and all, and I confess that at the time the Repose commenced the cloud of doom in my head started to lift. I as I have said before make no apology for these lengthy posts, but from today they will cease. Below is a screen grab taken from my view of the cemetery and church where Lynn Deffenbaugh was laid to rest. RIP my long time friend, I hope he uses his IS manual that KJ4DXK assures me he is already reading on his journey. RIP Lynn Deffenbaugh KJ4ERJ SK , May you live long in our memories until we meet again! If I do I want back pay with a 2% increase!.....Farewell Sir! End special message
