Off Topic - DStar dropped?

 

DStar stations appear to have dropped off the maps on 1 Sep. I'm not receiving anything via the IS feeds (tier 1 or 2) that I've tried...

The DStar Gateway servers are still connected to the IS system but their info and the users that are feeding them position data are not being feed back to at least my IGate.

The DStar position information is available via sites like APRS.FI but it's not in the tcpip feed back to the gate like it was previously.

Is there a discussion on another site as to why this took place? Any insight you can share is appreciated.

I know that I can probably configure a filter to see the local DStar traffic in my area...but what happened to make this sudden change?

Thanks!

File - About Bouncing (Admin message)

 

This message is sent to all new members, and to all members
every now and then. It has been revised as bounce reports have
changed a bit.

Any of us could experience no longer receiving email from the
UI-View support list. You might want to print this message and
review it if you stop receiving messages from the UI-View list.

If you stop receiving messages from the UI-View list, suspect
that either...

1) this or some other Yahoo group that you are a member of is
sending email which some spamblocker system regard as spam or
junk mail (quite a lot of these reports since summer 2009).

2) it may be that your email account has filled up with unread
messages or that the account on your mail server has ran out of
storage space. Read or delete the old messages on your mail server.

3) Some MSN or Hotmail accounts, and others such as arrl.net,
qsl.net which are used as a forwarding address from time to time
cannot forward to your primary address. When this hapens, the
Yahoo group receives an error message with something like
"impossible to relay to xxx" and you are then in the "bounced"
list. There are increasing numbers of bounces from some service
providers about messages which are blocked by them for policy
reasons.

4) You or your email provider have set up a challenge-and-response
system for those sending e-mail to you. The moderators will not
send replies to such challenges. You should select another
address for your list membership(s).

Sorry, but we cannot investigate every one of these blockings.
Please be aware that if you haven't received list messages
for some days, and reactivation requests are not reaching
you, or not answered by you, your account at the UI-View
list may be deleted. It may deleted if several bounces occur
in less than a week or two. It will also be deleted if the
bounce report says that your address is invalid, discontinued,
or unknown. Be aware that the bounce can relate to messages
from other lists than the UI-View list if you are a member
of other Yahoo groups.

If your membership is deleted, you will not be able to log
into the Yahoo group. If you try and send email to the group,
it will be rejected. However, you can subscribe again with a
valid and working email account by sending an empty email to
ui-view-subscribe@....

If you are away for some time, you might want to set your
account to temporarily receive only special messages or
even no email at all, but we recommend that still receive
special messages. You can log into the Yahoo group when you
return and change it back to daily digest or normal email.

Note: A member may send reactivation requests to himself/herself
from the Email Preferences section of My Groups.

73 and good luck - your UI-View group moderators


File - Posting guidelines

 

The UI-View Group is very active. Most already do so,
but here are some some guidelines to follow.

1. Civility... this is practiced well by our members!

2. Sign your messages with your name and callsign.

3. Only post messages and responses that are relevant to UI-View.

4. Use plain text for messages sent to the UI-View support list.
When you address some 5000 recipients, you cannot know what their
email readers do with HTML formatted messages. Some will experience
unreadability.

5. IMPORTANT: When replying to a posting (message), kindly delete
all unnecessary text including the trailing text. Only leave the
poster's name, callsign and the time stamp, and the text from
the prior message about which you are commenting, and then trim
the rest. When viewing messages in the Yahoo web based interface,
the command [Up Thread] at the top of the message can be used, and
many email clients can group messages by thread also. Some members
have slow connections or pay for bandwidth. Brevity can often
also improve the clarity of your message. Do not top post... i.e.
do not type your reply above the quoted text.

6. When replying to a post, please decide if your comment should
go to the entire group of about 5000 or directly to the author.
Please think before replying to the group... replies like "I sure
do agree with that" do not add much to the group. Send thoughts
like those directly to the poster please.

7. Postings of sale or swapping of items are not wanted.

8. New members are all moderated for a number of postings. If the
messages follow the guidelines, they are approved and the member
is changed to un-moderated status.

This is a partially moderated list, i.e., only the user's first
messages are moderated, but all messages are monitored after posting.
If an un-moderated posting is found by the moderators to have a
problem, then the poster is changed to moderated status and in
most cases also contacted directly to resolve whatever has caused
the problem.

Actions are taken against those that chronically violate the rules.
The reason for this form of moderation is to block spammers from the
list and it is working well.

9. Do not add disclaimers to your posts that (1) restrict the ability
of other members to use the information you post, (2) claim a copyright
to your post, or (3) to claim any type of "rights" as a consequence of
another member replying to your post either directly to you or to the group.

10. Do not use anti-spam tools like challenge/response; the moderators
will not respond, and since messages to you then will bounce, you most
probably will be removed as a user of the group.


Re: No Internet

 

Well it's all back working. Not sure why it should of suddenly stopped but the cause was simple. The call sign sent with my weather data was different from the station setup callsign. Changed that to g4kvi-1 and back in action. Thanks for the help.

Most likely, firewall settings have nothing to do with this issue. You are
initiating communications from INSIDE your network. Normally firewalls are only
an issue when you are running some sort of server on your own system and want
to accept random connection requests from outside.

If you are connecting to port 14580 on ANY server, the server will accept the
traffic you send to it (i.e. your igated traffic from RF). However, the
server will send NOTHING back to you until you construct a filter expression
telling the server what to send you.

See this page on my website for the details on the filter settings:

<>

In UIview, these settings are entered into the "Extra log-on text" field at
"Setup, APRS Server Setup". Again, unless some sort of filter expression
is entered into this field, the server will not send you anything.

Just to clarify G4KVI comes form my weather software and G4KVI-1 comes from uiview, this is one that has the problem.
OK, so G4KVI is running the "local server" and G4KVI-1 is connected to it. Is G4KVI getting any data from whatever server it is connected to?

What filter are you using? Try connecting to euro.aprs2.net:14580 and stay connected long enough for someone to take a look at it.

!call=G4KVI*

Which SSID are we talking about? perhaps G4KVI-1? It
appears to have been heard via TCPIP by G4KVI. Looking
at G4KVI, it appears to be connected to CWOP-3. If
it was e.g. a tier 2 APRS server, I would know how
to go to their status page and look at the filter
that you are using. Perhaps CWOP has a status page,
but I don't know where it is, so we will have to
rely on you telling us what filter you are using.
I have no idea what filters will work with a CWOP
server, but it might be a start.

OK... I found his page.



I tried going to a few times
but it wasn't CWOP-3. Ah... it seems to cycle through them
if I wait long enough! However, scrolling down, the status
page doesn't show filters for the connected stations.
I have no idea if the CWOP servers use filters.

Looking back at
you seem to be connected to CWOP-1, -2, -3, -4, -5 and -7
at various times. A few times you were connected to T2FEJER,
T2LONDON, T2MEXICO etc. so it is a moving target.

Why don't you try connecting to euro.aprs2.net:14580
for a while? At least there, we could look and see what
filter you are using... or you could just tell us.

Please do not top post, and trim quoted text as much as possible.

UI-View website:

UI-View Registration:
Select language & fill in your name and callsign. Return later
to collect your registration.

APRS Server List: To update the APRS Server List, change the
download URL to... aprs2.net/APRServe2.txt

For North American users, PMap 9 (Precision Mapping 9.0) along
with PMapServer 9 can provide street level mapping for all of North
America. They can be installed without hassle on Windows 7 & 8.
PMapServer is available for download on the UI-View website.
However, Undertow Software is no longer selling new copies of
PMap 9, but existing owners can continue to use it as long as they
can get it registered.

Users of Windows Vista, 7 or 8 should not install UI-View below
Program Files. Instead, create a folder elsewhere. To view UI-View's
built-in context sensitive help file, download and install WinHlp32.exe.


Useful hints and tips about setting up and using UI-View are
available on Stephen WA8LMF's website.

John sent me a couple of screen shots. They did indeed show him in Canada or somewhere in Florida other than his real location. It was the same lat / long that he appeared to be at when viewed on aprs.fi but viewed there, he was some distance off the SW coast of Florida.

It would appear to be a problem with the PA7RHM map server. Are there any other users on this list?

Re: New Install

 

I would get the latest version - Precision Mapping Streets and Traveler V9 - Map & Travel Planning Software. That is the only version that UnderTow is still registering. That is what I am running in WIN 8.1. See the information at the bottom of any of the ui-view messages.

Talking about maps for ui-view brings up a question I have.
I normally run Precision Mapping9 but thought I'd try the map server by
PA7RHM. When I do my position is way off, zoomed in it's on the west
coast of Florida and zoomed out it has me in Canada. I'm really in
Miami. Anyone have a suggestion, is there a setting I have wrong?

Thanks,

John

Do you see this for all the SSIDs you are running under
K4AG or just some of them? Knowing the call sign and SSID
will help determine if there is something funny going
on with your position or if it's a mapping thing.

When you use the PA7RHM map server and hover over the
map with your cursor, does it show the correct lat / long
in UI-View, or do you see discrepancies like you are
seeing in your own position on the map?

Just to affirm. Precision Maps 9.0 will work on Win8.1 also. I have been
