Hello...wa2nan, Kerry here. Running uiview32 and receiving a lot of digi's but very few home stations on the screen. I do see several in the incoming and outgoing bar at the bottom but not going to the screen. Using WIDE2-2 setting..
Using rf not online. See a lot of stations on the incoming bar at the bottom but they are not making it to the monitor screen..

What sort of map are you using?? Does it match the area you are located in???? If the map selected doesn't match the area you are receiving from, then nothing is going to show on-screen.

Once again,? the transmit path WIDE2-2 has NO EFFECT on what you receive - it only determines how other stations handle your TRANSMISSIONS.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

The UIview program has now remained unchanged for _/NEARLY TWO /_/_DECADES_/, following the death of its author in 2004. It is an "orphan" frozen in time as of? 14 April 2004 during the "Windows XP era". This is long before Windows Vista, 7, 8, or 11 appeared. 10 or 11 appeared.

Many settings and options are outdated, and need to be changed after the initial install. Full details are here on my website:

Hi All,

Also to monitor stations around your areas, check out aprs.fi and see what is happening with different stations, digis, mobiles, etc.

Some digipeater owners, including me (W2KB-15), have their digi's at their home location so having an additional home station with icon would serve no purpose. Some weather station icons, etc. serve as a home station as well.

Morning Kerry,

Just looked at your station and then at the replies you have been getting. You have some good suggestions to work with, but APRS unlike most amateur radio today is often misunderstood. APRS is not (primarily) designed to allow you to see yourself on a map, but rather to see what is around you. Since you are seeing a lot of digipeaters, I think you are running your station pretty well.

I also noticed you were gracious enough to provide a way to contact you in your “comment” field. Putting an email address there is daring though. The entire world will see it. Might try putting a “voice frequency” or repeater information you regularly monitor in that section of your posit.

About the WIDE2-2 thing, if you are familiar with the mode called PACKET you might recognize that as a PATH setting, where each digipeater will respond to an “alias” named WIDE and the following numbers just tell the digipeater how many times to “resend” your data. The numbers decrement each time your posit is repeated, until it is exhausted. Hopefully during its journey it is received by a station called an IGate which puts your data into the internet.

When I checked your data this morning I noticed you had not transmitted anything in about five hours. I hope your home station is not “down” as it should be transmitting on pace anbout every 30 minutes. 30 minutes is more than sufficient to keep your home “on the map”. Mobiles can transmit more frequently, but never so fast as to congest the single VHF channel we have. I personally never transmit any of my posits mobile or otherwise any faster than once every thirty minutes……but then again, I’m never trying to see myself on the map either. I usually know where I am, and if my home station moves….I’ve got bigger problems.

Anyway, hope this helps. Venture into APRS, but take some time to study the structure of the three networks interconnected here. Having the internet, cellphone and amateur RF all connected makes this part of amateur radio really interesting.
