Per the documentation, you need to install the Bluetooth native client library for YAAC to call on your Raspberry Pi. 

sudo apt-get install libbluetooth libbluetooth-dev

Then the Bluetooth plugin should work.

Thanks for finding the typo on my website; it has been fixed.

Subject: [yaac-users] Bluetooth error

I noticed a minor error in the instructions to install YAAC on a Raspberry Pi. I believe it should be downloads instead of download. I am still a novice with Linux. Also the Bluetooth does not seem to load correctly on Arm chips. I tried to download the Bluetooth add on and if I do upon startup I get an error telling me the Bluetooth lib did not load. As i don't use Bluetooth but plan to in the future I deleted YAAC and then reinstalled it with out enabling the Bluetooth add on installed. Thanks Steve kb1chu

I am preparing to release a new build of YAAC that no longer uses the obsolete RXTX library to access serial ports, but a newer library called JSSC. It should be out later today.

Howdy YAAC community,

We (NWS Hanford) recently updated our JRE for security reasons. This has caused an issue with YAAC. The program no longer opens completely. I am told it tries but then crashes. I have attached the error log entry we have. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

next beta build#155 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2020-Jul-13

downloadable from 
               or 

changes and updates include:
1. fix spurious ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions from parsing Mic-E and
    position report messages that have the absolute bare minimum amount
    of text and have no optional fields appended.
2. fix progress dialog percentage report when importing CSV-format
    packet logs.
3. add support for the Byonics TinyTrak4's ability to pass through GPS
    sentences as an alternate-DeviceID KISS "frame" in the serial
    connection to YAAC, when the GKRELAY command is properly configured.
    This updates the Serial_TNC, KISS-over-TCP, and Bluetooth_TNC port
    drivers (Bluetooth plugin).
4. regularize size of map zoom buttons, fix sizing and scaling of
    map scale to always be a round multiple of 2, 5, or 10.
5. properly handle seamark beacons with an unspecified color.
6. fix problem with AX.25 ports that feed through GPS sentences when
    the sentence boundaries aren't caught correctly, causing spurious
    errors that can't be read because of the embedded carriage return
    characters.
7. try to optimize reading UTF-8 strings and OSM objects from files a
    little more.
8. add generic ability for PortConnectors to report asynchronous status
    changes not already handled by PortStatusListener, PortMgmtListener,
    or PortEventListener.
9. remove support for Byonics TT4 prompt catching in Serial_TNC
    PortConnector, as it will never work unless the TinyTrak4 is
    rebooted just as YAAC opens the port.
10. fix naming of AIS decoder plugin in website "store".
11. fix parsing errors in AIS decoder, add support for DGNSS and
     Aid-to-Navigation messages.
12. add identification of vessel nation-of-registry in AIS decoder.
13. remove spurious debugging print statements in repeater finder plugin.
14. improve error reporting and documentation in repeater finder plugin
     when rig control serial ports can't be found.
15. add support to repeater finder plugin to recognize Yaesu System
     Fusion (C4FM) repeater objects.
16. add Java Activation library to telemetry alarm plugin so email will
     still work on Java runtime version 9 and above.
17. improve screen appearance of upgrade utility, ensure O/S-provided
     window close button behaves the same as the Cancel button in the
     upgrader's UI.
18. augment upgrader to support plugins that include native libraries
     (in preparation for deprecating use of RXTX library).
