Re: VARA APRS DX

You will have to edit the symbol sets located in*\Symbols*? under the main PinPoint directory.? There are a pair of .files *primary.png* and *alternate.png* .? Each has alpha layer transparency.

Speaking of Pinpoint, does anyone know if it is possible tocreate a custom APRS icon with overlay? Specifically, a greensix pointed star with a letter, I for Igate, or a black diamondwith V for VARA,

I noticed the same thing today on a weekday compared to Sunday..... How about zooming the map in to just North America, so we could see some actual detail?

Re: Even More Joining New APRS-over-VARA Channel
Brian, I think what you may be missing is this is a VARA based APRS and not the standard AX25. You are using SoundModem and you need to use VARA as your modem. 73 n5pwp Mike
