iGate from direwolf or YAAC

 

Hello all,

I've got a PI400 connected to a TM-V71A and I've been using YAAC to iGate.

I've shut off the YAAC port for aprsis and added the parameters to direwolf.conf and verified it is working.

Is there any advantage/disadvantage/difference having direwolf do it instead of YAAC?

Thanks
Danny
 

Direwolf can do full iGating and would simplify your software chain.

When I think of YAAC (and many other APRS Clients), I think of maps, and other 'visual' aspects of receiving APRS data from a variety of sources.

When I think of Direwolf, AGW, aprx, etc.? I think of only the interface part.

So, if you are just looking at moving data around between ports (radios, internet, etc.) then Direwolf has a lot less overhead - and you can still interface with applications like YAAC.

Direwolf will be a faster I-gate than YAAC. Also, DireWolf can run without a graphical desktop UI.

Note that YAAC can still tap into such a DireWolf setup. However, YAAC would only log incoming traffic and traffic that YAAC itself sends. Any transmissions solely by DireWolf (either to RF [digipeat or Tx I-gate] or Internet [Rx I-gate]) would only be known to DireWolf's logging.

I'd use both!

A PiZero running direwolf with wifi KISS interface enabled, doing all the day-to-day work.

But, from time to time, when you want a cool user interface, map, messaging, etc, fire up yaac, and connect
to Direwolf over the KISS interface.? You can use another SSID, etc, direwolf will continue to digipeat
concurrently.

Hi Andrew,

This is how I have it at the moment so I'll keep it that way. Direwolf as the iGate operating independently.

Thanks to all for the confirmation.

That's a great idea Craig, but I'd need to dedicate a radio to that and I only have the one which I also use for FSQ locally (fldigi).

And the answer is! Buy more radios!
