Tracker not showing
"Chris McCarthy" <[email protected]
I've been having some problems, trouble is there has been no one else around
to test it with! A local has just appeared using APRS..I cant get an ack back from him when sending a message, but that may be due to incompatibilities between the two systems? The problem is, my tracker isn't appearing on the map. I can see the packets appearing in the monitor screen at the bottom of the display. Looking in the terminal window the format from my tracker is: 10:11:32R G3XVL-9>CQ,RELAY,WIDE <UI Len=68>: $GPGGA,091644,5202.9506,N,00108.9689,E,1,08,1.3,83.2,M,47.0,M,,*74 I'm also sending $GPRMC for height but I wouldn't of thought this would matter even though UI View doesn't use it. Tracker displays fine when I use WINAPRS. I tried turning the logging on but although G3XVL and M1ADT are showing in the log, there is no sign of G3XVL-9 Home station is a G0BSX TNC, running KISS mode, any ideas/ help appreciated Cheers Chris chris@... |

<chris@...> writes From: "Chris McCarthy" <chris@...>UI-View messages aren't compatible with APRS messages. There's a fairly fundamental difference - the destination address for APRS messages is in the message text, but UI-View uses the unproto address as the destination. Also, the structure of the message is rather different. The problem is, my tracker isn't appearing on the map. I can see the packetsI've just checked that and it looks like I've got a problem with unexpected differences in the format of the $GPGGA sentence. :-( Here's yours:- $GPGGA,091644,5202.9506,N,00108.9689,E,1,08,1.3,83.2,M,47.0,M,,*74 And here's what comes out of the GPS 45XL I've been using for testing:- $GPGGA,123748,5258.308,N,00002.774,W,1,06,1.6,1.4,M,47.1,M,,*5A Yours has an extra decimal place on the lat and long. UI-View will actually decode yours ok, but the preliminary "is it GPS?" filter rejects it, so it never gets as far as being decoded. I've fixed it now. -- Roger Barker, G4IDE roger@... Boston, UK |
