Hi All,
I have a new setup of UI-View32 and am using it with my TM-D710A in TNC mode (using a custom .CMD file for it). I have not set up any Internet stuff, strictly RF. In the terminal I am seeing traffic like so:
VE1HCA>APNU19,VE1ARC*,WIDE3-2:!4456.83NS06355.91W#PHG5498/W3 Willow Hill, NS MARCAN UIDIGI <NSARA>
VE1HCA>APNU19,VE1AEH*,WIDE3-2:!4456.83NS06355.91W#PHG5498/W3 Willow Hill, NS MARCAN UIDIGI <NSARA>
VE0RDM-9>T5PR4T,VE1AEH*,WIDE3-2:`\;Zlq,k/'"5[}|)<&#(#|!wb{!|3
VE0RDM-9>T5PR4T,VE1SDR,VE1ARC*,WIDE3-1:`\;Zlq,k/'"5[}|)<&#(#|!wb{!|3
VE1TPL>APNU19,VE1ARC*,WIDE3-2:!4532.57NS06405.62W#PHG5450/W3 Lynn Mtn,NS MARCAN UDIGI TPARC
VE1TPL>APNU19,VE1AEH*,WIDE3-2:!4532.57NS06405.62W#PHG5450/W3 Lynn Mtn,NS MARCAN UDIGI TPARC
VE1CA-9>T5PY6V,VE1XK,WIDE1,VE1VZ,WIDE2*:`ZTip 5>/`"5u}Rob, Mobile, Scanning_%
But none of it shows up on my map (of course I'm talking about stations in my local area that would even be on my map) and the station list window is completely empty as is every other type of list. I've gone through the settings and don't see where I've gone wrong.
73,

Re: UI-View keeps quitting?
Hi
Try changing the comms set up to KISS mode.

hi all
well i did not add much choice to switch at W10 ,,my w7 pc is dead.
i lost my data too,,,,
i tried some research on google and found even some infos from,,,,,2006!!!so i am not certain at all of what i found.
i have 2 questions:
in your igate.ini / setup
at "Max digi for local: what did you wrote as number?
i dont have the HELP of uiview with this w10,,
2 snd question:
digipeater setup ,alias ?
how do you wrote your line?
aprs via wide3-3,,,
or ve2ckn-10,wide3-3
or wide3-3,ve2ckn-10
My igate was running for long time and i dont remember at all my setup's !
if you add some picture it would be best

Basically, you connect the radio receiver audio to the computer record? LINE-IN? or MIC? jack for RECEIVE.???? And connect the computer audio-out? (usually called? "LINE OUT",? "SPEAKERS", or "HEADPHONES" ) to the radio's mic jack to TRANSMIT.

Are you going to receive-only,? or do you need to transmit also? ?? If you need to transmit, you will need some sort of "sound card interface" device that can generate PTT (push-to-talk) for the radio transmitter. I have many times, used a Bearcat 760 scanner connected to the MIC-IN of a computer running the Soundmodem app to setup an instant receive-only igate.

Hardware TNC-2s are so last century! The UZ7HO Soundmodem will work on practically any sound card, VASTLY outperforms the 40-year-old hardware TNC-2 design, and is FREE! It starts and runs NATIVELY in KISS mode. It can connect to APRS applications via either KISS-over-IP (most modern APRS clients) or via the AGW Packet Engine IP interface (UIview). I have numerous copies of the Soundmodem connecting to UIview -- just select the AGPE in "Host Mode" under "Setup", "Comms Setup" in UIview. The soft modem also lets you get rid of over an amp of power drain at 12 VDC that the TNC2 consumes! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen H.

1270c will not TX when Rec led is on. Try turning up radio squelch to eliminate white noise and tnc should tx. I run my MFJ in CMD ( not Kiss) mode; no issues.

Hello Scott me too it has been years since i played with those old tnc,i have 3 of them and they are all different ,, i am becoming an old man and it is also becoming harder to play with software too,,,everything is slower ahhh there is a dog sled race not far away on the other side of the border here in Maine and i think there is 1 or 2 sled with APRS so i thaught i would restart my Igate for fun but man i have lost knowledge ,,of how it works. And the old Master exec that i am using is getting old too,,it would need some adjustement but i will keep the PA and the PS and scrapped it.i have 2 FT1500 that i will recycled , So i will try your command line , with Putty the tnc respond no1 but with Uiview normally the Led would flash in front of the tnc when KISS is activated,,but not on mine !! thats what bug me will see later,,diner time here and my xyl is calling! 73 scott gervais ________________________________ De : [email protected] < [email protected]> de la part de Scott Brown <kd4ydd@...> Envoyé : 5 mars 2023 10:24 ? : [email protected] < [email protected]> Objet : Re: [UI-View] do you remember???

I have tried on multiple times to use Ui-view with to success. After much and careful thought I have decided to abandon Ui-View. It is old technology and not supported. Therefore I am deleting it from my computer. Thank for all that have tried to assist me in this endeavor.

The test run was a complete fiasco with numerous hardware and software problems.
For example, I discovered the FLdigi program's audio detector on receive is so sensitive that transmitting on one mode would cause the other instance of FLdigi (on receive) to hear the RSID code and auto-switch to to the same mode! So I would beacon on MFSK16 -- then the next beacon (from the other copy of FLdigi) would also beacon on MFKS16 instead of OFDM.
I think some sort of sneak audio path in the hardware of the computer or interface, or perhaps possibly stray detection of transmitted RF.
I did days of testing in my carport before heading out on the trip. For the at-home tests, I had a 10dB 50-watt attenuator in the line between the transceiver and the mobile antenna. Partly to keep the nearby base station receiver from overloading so badly, and partly to hide the severe de-tuning of the mobile whip when parked under the carport canopy, from the transceiver. (In the interest of keeping the transceiver PA as linear as possible.) Under these conditions there were no problems. On the road, without out the attenuator with the antenna matched and radiating full power, the problems began.
Also, my experiment to have VSPE (Virtual Serial Ports Emulator) allow three applications to share the same serial port for PTT keying worked fine on the desktop pre-test, but came unglued in the real world. It would work for a while, then randomly lockup and stop doing PTT. I suspect this had something to do with the DigiRig interface I used having NO isolation between the computer side and the radio side; i.e. common ground connections, aggravated by automotive electrical noise circulation on the vehicle ground systems. (Again, the home desktop pre-test worked perfectly for days when the the transceiver (Yaesu FT-891) and computer were being powered by clean DC power from a 12 VDC 100AH battery bank being float-charged by a good 20A DC power supply.
At the same times,. a second VSPE serial splitter setup sharing a single GPS receiver with 5 destinations (MS MapPoint for navigation, the main two-meters APRS instance of UIview, and three copies of UIview being used for the experiment on 60 meters) would also quit. The normal setup (MapPoint, two UIviews, a GPS monitoring tool "GPS View" and sometimes Delorme Topo NA) has been absolutely bullet-proof with this setup in the past for over 100,000 miles of mobile operating.
I lost a lot of tine stopping at highway rest areas rebooting the Toughbook and restarting applications in a precise sequence. On the return trip from the hamfest, I began to suspect the interface and noise/ground loops as the problem.
I stopped by the side of route Michigan 115 and switched the interface to my own homebrew totally passive tone-activated self-powered and TOTALLY ISOLATED interface (that I had been demoing at the hamfest). I lost an hour re-configuring and tweaking multiple applications on the Toughbook; then resumed the drive. The GPS splitting and PTT was now bulletproof!
But I hadn't noticed that in the meantime the audio tone freqs in both copies of FLdigi had shifted downward 100 Hz, ruining the remainder of the test!
I plan to run a proof-of-concept test on a short drive from East Lansing to Grand Rapids (about 70 mi away) sometime next week. Before running a "real" test farther afield enroute to a ham fest in a month or two.
All this comes with the territory of mobile radio systems engineering which I have been doing for decades!

Re: VARA-MFSK16-OFDM Shootout for 60 Meters APRS This Saturday
Stephen,
I am betting on Vara. The previous test you made with Vara was a real accomplishment.
The first time I ran Vara on Winlink I was amazed that it could decode stations that I could not physically hear.
For years I used a Kantronics KAM for HF packet. I always could hear AX.25 stations that I thought it should decode with no luck. I even made a test with a Behringer UCA202 sound card with the UZ7HO sound modem with only marginally better results.
Last year, with the help of John W5PSX, I built a packet station that was originally to be used for VHF. The packet part of the station consisted of a Masters Communications DRA-30 sound card and a Pi 3 computer running Dire Wolf software. This was all mounted in a Bud box.
The Vhf location fell through so I thought I would try it on HF 30 meter baud. I was amazed. I am now copying 30 meter AX.25 stations I can't physically hear just like Vara on Winlink. See stations heard directly on APRS.FI for WA5LUY-10. I have UI-View connected to the Pi computer with AGWPE. The only UI-View functionality I have lost is Acks to messages. You might want to give Dire Wolf a try before giving up on AX.25
73 and I will be looking forward to your test results.
