Hi All,
I have been running UI-VIEW for a few days, and all was OK, but I have now
started to use the message & ping facility a lot more. However I have to report
some strange effects.
1.When in QSO (Message) with a station via Ui-View my TNC UNPROTO gets
reprogrammed with thier callsign ? If I reset it to CQ RELAY WIDE, after the
first "ping" or "Message acknowlege" it changes again. I have viewed the TNC
parameters with a terminal prog outside uiview and can confim that the change
is
for "real".
Messages are sent as unproto frames addressed to the station with whom
you are communicating. To do that with a TNC in terminal mode means you
have to change the TNC UNPROTO setting according to what unproto address
you want to use.
You can get a problem if you're not using the station beacon in UI-View,
but are relying on the BTEXT in your TNC. In that case, the TNC BTEXT
will be sent to whatever UNPROTO UI-View last set. The solution is to
use UI-View's beacons because it will then disable the TNC beacon.
2.Also the station I am working will also then move location to be on top of my
QTH !
I'll have a look at that.
Host mode none is definitely a bit clunky, but it's the best that can be
done with a TNC in terminal mode. Try using host mode KISS, it's much
better than host mode none and the above problems will disappear. The
TNC will be put into KISS mode when the program starts and put back into
terminal mode when you close it.
