If it wasn't mentioned or hasn't been experienced by you yet, the latest Windows update is running UI-View flawlessly.

No crashes. No Cortana issues. Can add UI-View to Startup sequence on a reboot and does not need to have a different application open first. Scheduler in UI-View can then be used to launch connection to the Internet server and open VW APRS to send the weather beacons (and/or to a web service such as Wunderground.).

Whatever was broke, appears repaired.

The blue box showed up yesterday finally after
several hours of running.

I just did a little test. I deleted my own station
and re-started UI-View. As soon as I beaconed, my
own station showed up on the screen. However, the
blue box around it didn't show up until it had gated
the first station. That matches what Stephen was
saying yesterday. If it took a few hours for you
yesterday, perhaps there isn't a lot of activity
around you. In my test, I forced an FTM-400 to
beacon, but I wouldn't have had to wait too long
to hear other stations. I think that is what you
were running into, but can you do the same test?

I said that UI-View32 was "rock solid" here under
Windows 10. The only fiddling I've had to do was
re-add support for the .hlp help file. The context
sensitive help was one of the things that set UI-View
apart from the other APRS clients when Roger G4IDE
was still with us, and continues to do so. See
Stephen's UI-View Notes and download and install
RestoreWinhelp32.exe to get the help file going again.

Keith:

You are correct and I was wrong. (been a very long week) It is set up as a igate and not a digi.
Everything is installed outside the "protected area"
The igate is set up and seems to be functioning at the moment. In the igate set up the only thing that it is set up to do in the Inet to RF tab is send selected weather info to RF.

The blue box showed up yesterday finally after several hours of running. Is that because that there was nothing sent to RF as far as weather goes? That could have been the whole issue.

Like I said in my first post, since this basically runs all by itself and I dont have to tweak it daily I forget how most of it works when I have to go in and change things.

Mr. Diaz,

I have been using NWSGet with Ui-View since, well seems like forever.
Recently NOAA changed the location of the Radar overlay used as the overlays


Your program is and has been very helpful to many in Amateur Radio in following local weather and in offering assistance to local NGO (Red Cross, Skywarn, CERT etc) across the U.S.


I am writing to encourage you, if possible to please modify your code to reflect the changes.


I and many other hams will be very happy.


Thanks for taking time to read this email also.

I no longer have my old development system, and more importantly I do not currently have a registered PMap OCX, which is no longer in production. Changes are not possible.

Not in my opinion. It is still rock-stable here under
Windows 10 in spite of Stephen's "doom and gloom" comments
and as feature-rich as it ever was. Feel free to look
around and make up your own mind, but UI-View is still
as good as it ever was.

You would think that would rule out Windows UAV
being the problem.

As Stephen mentioned, the "blue box" indicates
an iGate. What is the actual problem? Is your
UI-View installation supposed to be running as
both an iGate and digi? Are you beaconing on RF?
Are you decoding other stations? Is the iGate
enabled? This would be settings in APRS Server
Setup and in "edit igate.ini". Is the digipeater
enabled? If so, have you at some point in time
edited the [DIGI_OPTIONS] section to change
UIFLOOD to the two letter abbreviation for your
state, and to change UITRACE to WIDE? This way,
you can respond to SSn-N abd WIDEn-N. Alias
substitution should of course be enabled.

You don't have it installed in a a protected area,
but if you make a change to UI-View close it, is
it storing the changes in uiview32.ini?

As of 5 minutes ago, I see W8RID running UI-View.
It does have a validated TCPIP connection. It
does seem to be alternately beaconing what looks
like a valid position and one at 100 degrees south
(actually an object) which of course is impossible.

PS (OT) having a blast with a BITX40 on 40M.

You might want to check out APRSISCE/32. Many people find it a suitable replacement for UI-View. You can read about it on our Wiki at:



Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32

For some reason the blue box just appeared. Don't know why or how.

I have read the other reply to my question. Don't know if I should be looking for another program or not because of the Win10 potential issue.

But I'll ask this anyway in this forum, What other software is out there that will do what UIView does?

This has happened a few times in the past and because it has been years

running and don't need to tweak it on a regular basis i forget how to do it.

Here is todays, saga:

Just had a big update to Windows 10. (everything in UIView working fine
before) Everything restarted. UIView came back up. My Digi did not come up
with the Blue box around it like it has in the past. I know that some times
that it takes awhile for it to show that is why I let it run for an hour or
two before sending this. Usually the box comes up within 30 minutes or so.

I have not made any changes to UIView.

I have forced it to transmit 3 or 4 times and the box still is not coming up.


What am I missing here or what have I forgotten to do?

The box denotes an/*igate*/, not a digipeater. (The green star symbol denotes
the digipeater.

The blue box won't appear until you gate someone else from RF to the Internet.


By the way, you are skating on very thin ice, running UIview on Windows 10.
Due to the incessant forced major version updates of Win 10 (about twice a
year,) with no choice to opt out or revert, sooner or later it is an almost
certainty that UIview is going to break. There will be no going back to a
previous version of Win 10.

For a UIview installation that you want to run indefinitely long-term, in a
basically unattended mode, you are far safer running it on Windows 7 which is
now finished evolving. If you dedicate a machine (or virtual machine) to
UIview and firewall (i.e. block) _*ALL*_ IP ports except 14580 for the APRS
server log-in (this includes blocking port 80 http and the common ports for
email), Win7 can remain quite safe and secure indefinitely.

By _*NOT*_ using the machine for casual web surfing and email, you will
radically reduce the malware and hacking threats.

UI-View came back up. My Digi did not come up with
the Blue box around it like it has in the past.

Where do you have UI-View installed? Windows 10
(anything newer than XP) doesn't like anything making
changes to "protected" areas like Program Files etc.
so it should be installed somewhere else, like
C:&#92;UI-View32 or C:&#92;RADIO&#92;UI-View32.

UI-View stores settings in uiview3.ini in the installation
folder, and also stores lists of heard stations and so
on below there. You might be able to fiddle with "install
as administrator" or "run as administrator" but it makes
life far simpler if it's just installed somewhere else.

M0CYP moved from a shared hosting server to a personal domain several years
ago. It was announced on both this list and the TAPR APRSsig list at the time.

All M0CYP links that used to begin with " now
start with " instead.
Specifically the one mentioned above [
] is now

[ ]. Note 1) the
".myby." is now gone from the URL string, and 2) he has gathered a lot of
plug-ins, that had been on separate pages, into a single page.

You need to do a grep-style search across all the aprs.org pages for any other
references to Andy's pages at the old domain.

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.

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

Thanks, I wasn't really concerned about the registration as much as the person who performs the registration. Sometimes we overlook that they themselves have needs and might need some assistance.

Thanks again!
