Greetings.
This problem is somewhat unclear., and will require further information to resolve. 1. When you saved your beacon settings, was the "enabled" checkbox checked before you clicked the "Save Changes" button? The "enabled" checkbox is part of what would be saved, so if you didn't enable it until after you had saved it, then you probably didn't save the enabling. 2. How many beacon definitions do you have? If you have created additional beacons over and above the default beacon record, each beacon's settings (including its enabled flag) is independent for each beacon definition. Do not keep creating duplicate beacon definitions that are redundant to the ones you already have; extra beacon definitions should be because you need a _different_ beacon definition. 3. On your APRS-IS and KISS-over-TCP ports, are they enabled for transmit? If they can't transmit, then your beacons can't be sent, and therefore will not be heard. And if there are no enabled beacons or no transmit-enabled ports, then the BCN button won't be enabled (why, when there is no way to transmit the beacon?). 4. Are you looking to receive your own beacons back? That will only happen if you are transmitting on RF, and have a digipeater in range to echo your beacon packets back to you. The APRS-IS backbone will _never_ send your own packets back to you (not even if they are heard by some other I-gate). YAAC's configuration is not stored with the executable code; if you want to clear your configuration, start YAAC with the "-clear" command-line option, i.e., java -jar YAAC.jar -clear to tell YAAC to erase all its configuration data when it starts up.
