Niece,

How many GPS receivers do you have attached to your computer? If you only have one GPS, there should only be one GPS button appearing on the YAAC map window toolbar.?

Also, how is your Beacon configured? The Beacon must be checked as enabled, or it will not be transmitted. The ability to disable a beacon is to support receive-only stations that don't yet have a callsign for transmitting. Also, if the beacon is configured to use GPS for its position, you must have a valid GPS fix (i.e., the GPS receiver has sky-view to see several satellites) for YAAC to transmit a beacon. YAAC will not transmit a beacon with invalid GPS data.

That last reason is why you shouldn't have too many GPS ports configured. If even one of those ports reports a bad position fix, YAAC won't beacon.

Also, on your RF port (Serial_TNC, AGWPE, KISS-over-TCP), is transmit enabled on the port? If the port is not configured to transmit, it won't send any beacon records.

Additionally, what are you using for a TNC? You mentioned using DireWolf. Did you tell DireWolf how to push the PTT on your radio? If DireWolf is just generating audio but not keying the transceiver, the radio won't transmit. Check your PTT directive in your direwolf.conf file to ensure it is correct for the Icom 7610 you say you are using.

Hope this helps.
