I am running a node here and on APRS.FI ,bizarre i dont see it,can i edit a line somewhere so i would ,,,broadcast my station?
thanks for all you are doing for uiview as for Keith and all the others that we dont see73gervais ve2ckn
Echolink has a built-in APRS announce feature that can transmit the node's
current status; i.e. in use or available as people connect and disconnect. It
is on the "RF Info" tab of the "Sysop Setup" menu. However it is fatally
flawed: 1) It only offers obsolete RELAY and PLAIN wide paths. 2) if you are
using UIview (or any other APRS application) at the same time it can't access
your TNC.
The Echolink announce function must completely take-over a normal command-line
TNC by itself. I.e. it CAN'T share a TNC with another application like UIview.
Years ago, I wrote the author of EchoLink and suggested he make it compatible
with the port-sharing function in the AGW Packet Engine. This would would
allow Echolink, UIview and any APRS programs to share a single TNC. I never
got any response back.
If you want your EchoLink node to actively announce when it is up or down, you
will have to setup another radio and TNC, separate from the one UIview is
using. If all you want to do is broadcast the presence of your Echolink node
(but not show it's current status), you could easily create an object in UIview
and have it transmitted periodically. Note that if it is at the same
location as your UIview station, Uiview's own beacon and the Echolink object
will be on top of each other - whichever was the most recently beaconed is what
others will see.
