Admittedly, it has been some time since I used
the APRS servers function; relying on RF TNC transmissions
instead. However, in trying to setup an internet-only
backup station, I failed in receiving any other stations
data when using APRS servers.
1) The latest list of servers has been downloaded...
2) My correct registration and validation numbers are
inserted in the UI-View program
3) I am able successfully SEND my information via
the servers
4) The issue occurs on Win 10, Win7, and XP machines
What callsign-SSID are we discussing? Is it W1WAB?
I can see it beaconing on RF, but it doesn't appear
to be connected to a server, at least not for the
nearly the last 5 hours, when it was connected to
EIGHTH. If you were still connected, I cold look at
your filter.
Hopefully you have UI-View installed somewhere
other than below Program Files or Program Files (x86).
With user access control, it would prevent you from
saving settings unless you fiddle with things like
install as admin, run as admin etc. It's far simpler
to just not install it somewhere that Windows will
object to changes to any files... e.g. instead install
it in somewhere like C:\RADIO\UI-VIEW or C:\UI-VIEW.
Am I correct in using 14580 port at the end of
the servers? I've tried the servers both with and
without filter strings... Could a "port" be blocked
by my ISP or router preventing receipt of info?
If you are connected on port 14580, you should be
using a filter. It would go in the "extra logon text".
e.g. filter m/250 if you wanted everything within
250 km of your location, as long as you have sent
a position report. That's about the simplest filter.
Many other filter types are available.
I would get the filter entered before worrying
about a firewall blocking you.
