Thank you for the comments.
Regarding your first issue, can you send me a sample of the outgoing message (including the ack string), and the ack responses you are receiving. Unless the ack text and the sending callsign exactly match character-for-character, it won't be accepted as an ack; for example< "M0001" is not the same as "M1" for a sequence ID. Also, YAAC does not presently support dual acks (sending an ack piggybacked onto an outgoing text message), because its message sequence IDs are too long to fit into that mode. The second and third issues will be fixed in the next build of YAAC.

Looking at the received acknowledgements, I can see no differences in what I am receiving that YAAC seems to accept and what it isn't accepting. Both are being shown in the message windows. Second, when using the "Chat with..." window, YAAC allows me to send a much longer message than I think is allowed. The regular message window will turn the text yellow and then red when the message length has been met but not the "Chat with..." feature. I ran into this problem when talking with a friend who is using Xastir. The extra long message actually did go through the system of digipeaters and APRS-IS but Xastir was not having anything to do with it. Third, when using the "Chat with..." window, the message screen still pops up when I receive a message that is destined for that chat window. I feel like that is just bad UI. My expectation is that when I'm chatting with someone that my conversation will only be in that window and I won't be interrupted by another screen popping up for a similar purpose. BTW, if I haven't said it lately, I find YAAC to be the best APRS client that I have used. Please keep up the great work. 73, Eric WG3K |
