Hi all
I was doing some test in these days and i noted that the feature to query positions seems to be working only on some ratflectors and not on other where i recall it was working in the past.
in particular on and it's not working
while on ?it is.
this applies to both Query station position" and "query all positions"
maybe someone here knwons?which ratflectors versions are running on those system?
thanks for your help? maurizio

Re: Maps And Weather with D-Rats
hi!
so, from your log the only error related to openweather that i see is this one:
IOError: [Errno socket error] [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)
After googling, I think this is something?related to SSL at Windows10 level, not sure how to fix?it.
the only hint i can give is to remove the "s" from https: got to? ? ? ?file->preferences->CHAT Edit the openweather uri changing http:// into http://
in my case, on windows 10, it works in both cased (with and without the s)
hope this?helps maurizio

HI all
i noted that on my windows 10? the maps don't?get downloaded due to some HTTPS certificate validation error. google?it seems some issue related to outdated certificates?on the windows system which should be updated, but i wasnt?able to figure out how to to fix it.
If you happen?to get into such situation, you can this workaround :
go to config panel -> preferences - maps
and take out the "s" from the https urls, i.e.
https://? --> http://
in my case this worked for thunderforest maps.
hope this helps, maurizio

Re: Maps And Weather with D-Rats
are you connecting on multiple ratflector at the?same time? can you try connecting to only one? (i.e. activate select?only one checkbox?in the config panel)

Re: Maps And Weather with D-Rats
When I sent the Current Weather string out the other night, I was using Windows 10 running under Parallels Desktop on my iMac.??I was also able to generate it from the ratflector running on a Raspberry Pi as KG5CEN-1.??The ratflector is running:
d-rats 0.3.9?
Python 2.7.16
GTK 2.24.32
PyGTK 2.24.0
LibXML using 0.5 KB
Under the Help, About on the Windows setup, it shows:
d-rats 0.3.9
Python 2.7.9?
GTK 2.24.10?
PyGTK 2.24.0?
LibXML using 0.4 KB
On an RCA Windows 10 tablet computer with the same Windows settings as above I can also generate the Weather string under KG5CEN-2.
I am not sure what is going on, but one thing is certain, I have not attempted to upgrade to any of the experimental new builds since Maurizio came out with the original 0.3.9 build.??Has something been changed in the currently downloadable build since these folks are saying they had to reinstall D-Rats?

Re: Maps And Weather with D-Rats
Daryl and Glen, ? I am having similar issues here and short of the uninstall also tried the same steps Daryl has. I did generate a new API key and the results were the same. Also have done this with both my workstation and my laptop. So I have a built in second look at the process. Version 0.3.9 on the workstation, pretty sure same on laptop but it is not in the office here. ? Jack ¨C KD4IZ ?

? I tried that (lower case for the city and state) as well...still nothing. I even did a complete uninstall and re-install of D-Rats this morning for the umpteenth time...still nothing. I even went into the hidden files to manually edit the configuration file with the string...still nothing.
? I don't know if getting a new API would work or not. Why it will work and display for other stations and not me, is frustrating to say the least. Before I had to reinstall Windows 10 to rebuild the registry (because the BlueDV program that I use for accessing D-Star, wouldn't load, run, install, or uninstall, otherwise), it worked. Why it won't work now, I have no clue.

Re: Maps And Weather with D-Rats
Daryl,
I don¡¯t think the app likes all CAPS.??The string to use in the QST is ¡°Little Rock,ar,us¡±. Notice the caps are only used in the city name, the rest is all lower case.??If you put the state and country designation in CAPS it won¡¯t work.??Trust me on this, I ran into the same problem when I first set the thing up.
Cordially,
Glen P. Strecker

Re: Maps And Weather with D-Rats
I have no idea what is wrong with it. I guess I have to delete D-Rats, and do a complete fresh download and install. I guess doing that with the reinstall of Windows 10 64-bit and rebuilding of the registry didn't do any good, either.
I have gone to the openweather website, and copied down my api code, and entered it where I should in D-Rats. I then entered the city as LITTLE ROCK,AR,US in the QST under OpenWeather for current. Nothing shows up either in the ratflector window, or the QST window.?
I have followed the instructions given in other URL's in this thread to the letter, and it still will not work. I'm stumped and frustrated to say the least. I even exited D-Rats, and went into the hidden files are to edit the data into the configuration file, and restarted the program...nothing. I only have it going out once an hour.
Glen, KG5CEN, was able to get the data from Little Rock to display, but the app seems to be broken on my end. So, I zapped it and reinstalled it...still no dice. So, I'm going to give up on it.

Re: Maps And Weather with D-Rats
Daryl, your lat long input use a minus sign infront of your longitude ie. -73.1234. This tells the software you are West of Greenwich England.

If there's a file in here where I could get that info (the older version of D-Rats allowed you to download map tiles, but the current one does not), I'd appreciate it.

Re: Maps And Weather with D-Rats
Hi Daryl, if you open the log file, at the very beginning there is a line which tells you where is the config file:
Mainapp ? : Enabled debug log for Win32 systems
Version : headers={'User-Agent': 'd-rats/0.3.9 '}
(....)
Qst ? ? ? : FeedParser not available
Qst ? ? ? : QSTWeatherWU class retired
Config ? ?: FILE: C:\Users\mauri\AppData\Roaming\D-RATS-EV\d-rats.config
Mainapp ? : Loading locale `en'
Mainapp ? : Locale dir is: C:\Users\mauri\Desktop\D-Rats-0.3.9\locale
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
you can then edit it or simply rename it to force drats to create a new one from scratch.
if you edit the file, be sure that the thuderforest parameters appear in this format:
keyformapurlcycle = ?apikey=5a1a4a79354244a38707d83969fd88a2
(i.e. the "?apikey=" prefix shall be there)
for the coordinates, these shall be with a dot separator, like:
[user]
name = Maurizio Andreotti
altitude = 0
longitude = 9.430000
units = Metric
callsign = IZ2LXI
latitude = 45.802020
hope this helps best regards, maurizio

Maps And Weather with D-Rats
I had to do a complete reinstall of Windows 10 to rebuild the registry, as it had gotten severely corrupted. As a result, I was off the air from Sept. 12-20, 2021.
