Re: Graphic On Maps And APRS.FI
|
Daryl,
Patrick showed me how to run a program called APRX behind the StTammany Ratflector that picks up the GPS-A beacons from the stations on its port and sends the position report to APRS.??That is how you are getting on the map.??The other??that does it is the K3PRA repeater in Pennsylvania.??The Symbol for GPS-A is picked up from the GPS Config under Preferences.??If you have it set there to "/>¡± the ratflector reports you are in a car.??If it has ¡°/-¡° it reports that you are in a house.??If you hit the DPRS button, it will show you a whole list of icons to choose from.??There are 2 sets depending if you use a forward slash (/) or a backslash (\) in the first block.??The second block is the character that tells the program which icon to use.??When you mentioned it, I looked and my station that I use for chatting and doing the nets was also sending out the car until I went in and changed it.
Here is the line that APRX sent to the APRS system for you this morning:
33531 KG5CEN-1 R WX4QZ>APRATS,DSTAR*:/160200h3442.05N/09219.74W)/A=000249Home QTH
Now here is the line it sends out for my regular client station:
1182 KG5CEN-1 R KG5CEN>APRATS,DSTAR*:/070252h3012.77N/08945.23W-/A=000002D-Star Station
And finally, here is the one it sends out to ID the ratflector:
33231 KG5CEN-1 R KG5CEN-1>APRATS,DSTAR*:/155700h3012.76N/08945.22W#/A=000002Ratflector
Notice at the end of each one it has /A.??Just before the slash yours has a ), but my two have a - and a #.??The minus sign (-) is the DPRS symbol for House, and the (#) is the DPRS symbol for the Green Star with D for digital on it. The ) character tells it to send the Handicapped symbol.??If you leave it at the default, you would have a > character there designating the Red Car.??Just now, at 11:21 AM, APRS.FI is showing you with the Handicapped Symbol again.??I can¡¯t tell you what you were sending before because as I told you earlier, the Pi running the ratflector had its display corrupted and I had to go in, rebuild the OS image and rebuild the ratflector all over again yesterday and last night,??Hopefully it is back to running like it should this morning.
