APRS Server Question

 

I've been running UI-View32 for several years now and across a couple different computers. I'm fairly happy with it.

I've noticed something though. Years ago, when I would connect to the APRS Server I would instantly receive tons of stations popping up from all over the world and messages would flood in.? Now when I connect, I get nothing. What happened? Is it me or did something change that I missed.

Thanks all!

First, it looks like you have gone into the “Station Setup” and changed the Unproto Address from APRS to WIDE1-1. That should be corrected.

By the way, if your intention was to actually use a path of WIDE1-1, I would not recommend it. Fixed stations and especially digipeaters and iGates shouldn’t be asking fill-in digipeaters for assistance.

I would suggest a one hop path of WIDE2-1, or a two hop WIDE2-2 if you really need it.

Do you have more than one station running under WB4BSD? What is APBM1S and what us ID? It will be less confusing for others if you use a different SSID for other APRS stations under your call sign.

So, back to your question. You don’t appear to be connected to a server right now. When you do connect, what server (and port) are you using, and what do you have entered in the “extra logon text” in the APRS Server Setup?

If you do t have a need to connect to a specific server, noam.aprs2.net:14580 would be a good choice.

Betcha he missed the server string update.

I found out the server string had changed with a "2" in it.

That's what fixed my issue a few years back.

I changed to wide2-1.

What is APBM1S and what us ID? I don't know? I have a few other stations but they all run with different SSIDs. I only have one station running as WB4BSD. My current aprs server is noam.aprs2.net:14580. It won't stay connected and I don't see the influx of stations like I use to. I have no extra log-on text.
