been years since i played around with APRS. the local club recently brought an APRS station back to life.
I started looking around for the latest software to take advantage of the newer radios and win 10 etc...
found soundmodem by trying the UISS software, seems to be a good alternative to Direwolf or AFWPE.
If you download the latest soundmodem version from the authors' website, I dont see the needed supported mode info.......
I still have my registration info for UI-view, and I'm working on putting it all back together using a FT-991.
I remember there needed to be a lot of edits affecting routing in the U.S., but cant seem to find the info. are the changes still valid?
There are numerous tweaks that need to be done to UIview today, both to install in Windows versions after XP, ? and outdated settings that need to be changed after the initial install.
All the details are here on my website:

Note also that:
?? 1) ? The Precision Mapping program used for fully zoomable, scalable dow-to-street-level maps of all of North America with UIview? is no longer. The publisher went bust several years ago. The website is gone, including the "Register My App" server that was required to register the program and receive the "magic number" unlock code to activate the program.
?? However, if you only want to use Precision Mapping 9.0 as a map source inside UIview (not as a standalone application), you don't need to register/activate Precision Mapping. Just install the program, run it once, dismiss the prompt to register and close the program. It's now good to go with UIview after you install the Precision Mapping Server 9.0 plugin for UIview.
?? 2)??? A complete ready-to-run UIview setup including all plugins and Precision Mapping,?? packaged as a VMware virtual machine,? is downloadable from my website. You first have to download and install the free VMware Player on your computer. Then use the player to open my virtual machine file.? If you place the VMware player installer and my machine file on a 16GB or larger flash drive, you can slap a completely functional UIview setup onto any recent computer in just minutes, instead of the hours of setup and tweaking normally required. Since VMware players are available for Linux and MacOS as well as Windows, this setup should be able to run on a Macintosh or Linux box as well as on Windows host machines.? Go to:
