Re: Winlink sending email problem


Don Poaps
 

For your?info. I've used Windows APRIS32, my Aprsdroid Pad. using message This format should work with any Aprs program like YAAC.


APRSLink

APRSLink is a CMS-Hosted gateway providing a link between the Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) and the Winlink global radio email system. APRSLink monitors all APRS traffic gated to the internet, worldwide, and watches for special commands that allow APRS users to:

  • read short email messages sent to their?callsign@...?account (only the base callsign, no SSID)
  • send short email messages to any valid email address or Winlink 2000 user
  • perform email related maintenance (see commands below)
  • be notified of pending Winlink email via APRS message
  • query APRSLink for information of the closest Winlink RMS packet station

APRSLink provides a very special capability for the Kenwood TH-D7, TM-D700 and TM-D710 Radios for sending and receiving email from the radio front Panel without any need for a PC.

Properly licensed Amateur Radio operators are automatically registered in the Winlink system the first time they send a message through the system. For someone to send email to you, you must first become registered by sending a message through the system. Your Winlink account cannot be established using APRSLink -- you must first create your Winlink email account before you can use APRSLink. See??for more information. Additionally, your APRS station must have sent at least one APRS position report (beacon) prior to attempting to access this service. In that way, APRSLink can know your Amateur callsign, location, and station type for use with some commands.

LOGIN -
Send any characters to initiate login. The CMS will respond with a challenge consisting of three digits who's values represent positions of characters within your password. See 'RESP'.

RESP -
This is a six character response to the login challenge. Respond with three password characters corresponding to the positions in the challenge plus three additional characters of your choosing (in any order). Example: Password is AbC123. Login challenge is: 425. You send '1b2Qz5'. AbZ21t would also be valid since it contains the characters 1, b, and 2 which correspond to the 4th, 2nd, and 5th character in your password.

123456

AbC123

I use this format to figure out what number or letter I send 1b2xuq because these represent the password in the 1 to six numbers


LOGOFF -
Your login will expire after approximately two hours. You can manually log out anytime by issuing the "B" or "BYE" command.

I use Winlink daily from other clients including Winlink Express and PAT, and I run a gateway station on 2M FM, so yes, I have accessed Winlink many times.
