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. |
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 |
Re: Precision Mapping is No Longer available
Unfortunately, If one wants to use a map for a fixed site monitoring, with some diddling it can be done. It's a pain.When I started out about 10 years ago, UI-View and PM was the easiest program to setup. Once together worksgreat and continues to work well.

I did not notice this, because I had so many stations on the screen. However the next morning there were no stations on the screen except for AE5IB. When I tried to connect it said I could not connect within 30 seconds. It took a reboot to clear it, and now it is working. It was not a firewall issue because both were on the local lan, a sub network of my home lan separated by a router. The idea is I can take the router to the communications trailer and have the server IP address preconfigured. We can use a wireless hotspot (like a cell phone) and an access point into the router WAN port to give us internet access so we can igate and pull any units for the Dallas Marathon that I can not get directly from RF. Downtown Dallas is pretty well covered for APRS. We will have 4 nets running at the same time in the trailer and each will want their own APRS map so they can zoom in where they want, and also see where the lead runners and where the the last runners are. All the SAG wagons, medics, and a number of other units all have APRS trackers so we know where they are. I currently have a older dual core laptop 4GB RAM running UI-View and have OSM Maps, have a RF connection with a TNC-X, connected to a T2 server, and acting as a local server to 1 other computer. The Windows Task manager says I am at around 85% CPU Usage. That is a little higher than I would like to see. I may have to switch computers to my newer one with an 8 core i7 and 8GB RAM. I do not think RAM is the issue as it says I am using 2.15 GB. As I was writing this, both processors pegged at 100%, and it is not getting data from the server anymore. Looks like it is hanging. And now I am not getting any data to the other computer either. After a couple of minutes it started up again. I think this computer is running out of gas. I am guessing I need to switch to the much faster one. Kip AE5IB |

The logon and validation are irrelevant. The local server doesn't have the kind of full-blown user validation that a "real" server has. You are just sending "trash" back to the first machine. Note that the local server is bi-directional. Stuff sent FROM the second machine will go back to the first machine and then be forwarded to both the Internet and to RF. Again, the local server is not an intelligent server that interprets commands like a real APRS-IS server. It simply echoes anything and everything heard by the machine it is running on. It doesn't do any kind of interpretation of the packets it forwards or receives. The filter expression is falling on deaf ears. You unavoidably get EVERYTHING the first machine hears. After I connect to server, I only see the station of the server in theI don't understand what you are saying. By "server information", do you mean that you see only see the local server's host machine beacons/icons but no one else? I have run many instances of the local server on my systems with no problems. Could you have an overly aggressive firewall configuration on the machine running the local server that is blocking attempts by the second machine from connecting. (You would have to poke a hole in the firewall of the first machine for port 1448 to allow incoming connection requests from the second machine.) By the way, what flavors of Windows are the two machines running? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen H.

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. |
Setting up UIVIEW as a Local Server
I have UI VIEW working on a Windows 7 PC.
It is has a VHF Radio and a TNC-X connected to it and it is getting a bunch of stations from the internet and from RF. In the APRS Server Setup I have Enable Local Server Selected. This computer is at IP Address 192.168.61.10 I have a second computer on the same Lan with address 192.168.61.11. I want it to get the data that is on the server. The mix of RF and Internet data. In the APRS Server Setup in the list of servers, I insert 192.168.61.10:1448 and then select it. I set the APRS Server Logon Required, I use my validation number I enable autoreconnect I use the same filter as on the server "filter m/100" After I connect to server, I only see the station of the server in the terminal and in the station list. I must be missing something, but I do not know why only the server information is coming out the port, and none of the other stations from RF or Internet that the local server can see. Any ideas?

Chuck Chuck, Just FYI, I reported the issue to the manufacturer, and they released a firmware fix. My iGate is up again, and so far (after two hours), I don't see any corrupt packets.

Re: Bad call signs being iGated
Well since the last time we spoke about this issue i have had no more problems. I didn't really do anything but moved the PTT cable that goes from the radio to the TNC, whatever works! If it starts happening again I'll pay more attention to what its receiving vs what its gating. Thanks again for the suggestions.
