hi Andrew,
thanks for your reply because after i made a submission to yaac-users i thought my posting got lost.
i found your software from a youtube video at a conference you did many years ago.
what a wonderful product you have created for the community.
i didn't see any request for financial support;? is the there one ?
?
i am sorry my description was so unclear, as i try hard to convey my issues to anyone whom i am asking help from.
?
#1? 'in the Beacon <TAB> i created a new beacon with - X Enabled station beacon Beacon Type: position, manual lat/lon, Display symbol: \#
the remaining setting are unchanged.
[ however in the included image of 'southYampa' beacon below, i have subsequently changed the "Stable slow repeat rate (sec):" to a lower value, thinking this setting would increase the frequency of transmissions; after my first posting to yaac-users ]
lastly i pressed the 'Save Changes button.'
?
i was working on the page with the Beacon <TAB>.
the 'X' was suppose to represent a 'check-mark' in the checkbox marked "Enabled station beacon"; i guess it should been done like this:?? [x]
the "Beacon Type" was set to 'position'
i manually entered the lat/lon
and the "Display symbol" was entered as '\#'
the remaining settings were left as defaults.
lastly i pressed the "Save Changes" button.
?
so yes, i believe i have made the changes correctly and saved them.
?
#2 "How many beacon definitions do you have?" i have only defined one additional beacon (including the default beacon, there are 2 total).
yes, i have it check-marked as enabled before saving the beacon definition.
?
#3 "On your APRS-IS and KISS-over-TCP ports, are they enabled for transmit?"
?
?
?
#3 cont. - the sequence i followed was to first setup the Beacon, then set up the Ports.
as stated in my first posting:
"if i return to the Beacon <TAB> the Enable station beacon - no longer has a check in the box,
the Display symbol - textbox is empty/blank"
?
what i failed to say is that upon returning to the Beacon settings, the Default beacon is enabled as shown here:
?
upon returning to the 'southYampa' Beacon, the setting have been disabled
and the "Display symbol" is removed even though i previously had applied the "Save Changes" button.
?
my issues might occurring because i am unclear as to how the "Selected? Digipeat Paths in Proportional Path Order" are supposed to be setup. are these used in addition to the "Standard Digipeat Paths" ?
is the second group (Selected? Digipeat Paths in Proportional Path Order) creating some type of priority from the first group ("Standard Digipeat Paths" )
these settings may be related to the serial port setting problem i mention in my answer #4
what i mean here, is there something in the two groups above that should be add OR related to the serial port in order for digipeating ?
?
#4 thank you for explaining this as i was not seeing my "Display symbol" icon on the map.
i would like to follow up on this sub-topic later because as you may have seen i have not been able to properly configure the serial port,
which i assume is required to have YAAC to operate as a DigiPeater.
p.s. i was afraid to add any more text or images of the serial port for concern that my posting here might crash after spending allthis time on it; so i am sending it without proofing it ? ? ? ;(
?
thanks you Andrew for this fantastic program and i would like to support it financially, please let me know how.
