Re: null pointer exception when configuring AGWPE port
As suggested, I installed JRE 11 on Windows, and I am seeing the same behavior there.

null pointer exception when configuring AGWPE port
I am running on Bullseye on a Raspberry Pi 4.? I had run this same image on a Pi 3 but was having some trouble with the HDMI display on the Pi 3.? Configuration:
YAAC 1.0-beta167
Dire Wolf 1.6
Pi USB connected to an DRA-30 and then to an IC-7100
When I start YAAC, the configured ports are GPS, IP, and RF.
I tried to edit the RF port to enable transmitting.? When I click Transmit: Enable, then Save, nothing happens.? Then I click Cancel.
The RF port is shown as greyed out.
When I click the RF port again, I get an error message, about a null pointer exception, and I have attached a log file and configuration file.

Oops, missed one thing. It is possible to suppress any form of announcement of receipt of a message addressed to your station, from the expert-mode Configuration dialog's Behavior tab. The very first control on that panel is the somewhat mislabeled "Beep if an alert message is received" checkbox. If that is unchecked, no sound effects (default or Sounds plugin) will happen. The Message window will still pop to the foreground, however. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] < [email protected]> on behalf of Andrew P.

YAAC doesn't use Log4J. Its logging is very simple and uses plain System.out.println() Java calls, with standard output duplicated to the YAAC.out rolling log file. The dnsjava library does use SLF4J, but it is not invoked with logging enabled, and this library is only used to configure and initialize AGWPE and KISS-over-TCP ports (and for no other purpose within YAAC).
So YAAC users should be safe from the Log4J vulnerability.

Hi Andrew,
I'm guessing you've already been asked this, so apologies in advance. A
quick search didn't turn up anything.
There's been a lot of discussion very recently about the Log4J logging
utility, and the vulnerability that it presents. It's certainly a long
shot, but does YAAC use it for its logging? If so, I wonder if a
carefully crafted packet might be used to trigger an attack on a station.
I'm looking into the possibility of rebuilding my ham station, moving
from a PC to a Raspberry Pi for the 24x7 APRS stuff so that I don't have
to leave the PC running all the time. YAAC is the obvious application
to host that station (moving from the current APRSIS32). It would be on
the home network, inside the firewall, so I'm just being (perhaps
overly) careful.
Thanks,

Re: Missing AGWPE and KISS over TCP port editors
Ah, that shows the problem. It seems I had the wrong version of Java selected for my compiling and testing at the time I rebuilt my customization of the dnsjava library (used to obtain access to the mDNS/Service Discovery service). I have recompiled the dnsjava library with Java 8 and will include that in the next build of YAAC I release. In the meantime, you can get YAAC to work by using the Java 11 runtime.

Alternatively, grab the YAAC.out file from your YAAC logs directory and send a copy of that.

Re: [bug] Selected station not displaying correctly.
I understand what you're saying but... even though that object may have been the last thing that station transmitted, I can still go and query the object directly as well. There is no way to find information about, in this case, KA3OCS-1's station (I checked the list but didn't see his station listed there). The bug seems to be, IMO, that I selected one station but received information about another. Does that make sense?

Technically, I think this is a feature rather than a bug.
The Radio View window in YAAC was meant to give back somethat that was lost: what the Kenwood TM-D710 control head displayed in APRS mode when you had to put the radio in raw Packet mode in order to be able to transmit from YAAC through the radio. As such, it displays the most recent packet received (from anybody), and regardless of what type the packet was (station position, object report, Mic-E, text message, etc.). Asking for the most recent packet from a specific station shows exactly that. If the last packet the selected station transmitted was a Object Report, that is what is seen.?
Eric, it sounds like you're asking for a behavior different from the Kenwood TM-D710 radio, which the Radio View is intended to emulate as closely as possible, given YAAC doesn't have access to all the radio's other parameters. Note that, if you want to see an older message from a station on the Radio View, you can select that packet from the LIST subview of Radio View, and then view that. If you want to see further back than the 100 messages of history the Radio View (and the Kenwood radio) supports, you'll have to use a different display window in YAAC.
Hope that helps explain why the Radio View works the way it does.?

Subject: [yaac-users] [bug] Selected station not displaying correctly.
This has been going on for a while (for several versions), but I've just now had a chance to bring it up.
When I display a station in "radio view", if that station has recently transmitted an object, that is what gets displayed in the radio view, not the station itself.

The above is what I get when I select KA3OCS-1.? Note, the object that it transmitted is some distance away and is not what I am selecting.? This is reproducible on many other stations.
Thanks,

Re: [bug] Selected station not displaying correctly.
Greetings.?
Technically, I think this is a feature rather than a bug.
The Radio View window in YAAC was meant to give back somethat that was lost: what the Kenwood TM-D710 control head displayed in APRS mode when you had to put the radio in raw Packet mode in order to be able to transmit from YAAC through the radio. As such, it displays the most recent packet received (from anybody), and regardless of what type the packet was (station position, object report, Mic-E, text message, etc.). Asking for the most recent packet from a specific station shows exactly that. If the last packet the selected station transmitted was a Object Report, that is what is seen.?
Eric, it sounds like you're asking for a behavior different from the Kenwood TM-D710 radio, which the Radio View is intended to emulate as closely as possible, given YAAC doesn't have access to all the radio's other parameters. Note that, if you want to see an older message from a station on the Radio View, you can select that packet from the LIST subview of Radio View, and then view that. If you want to see further back than the 100 messages of history the Radio View (and the Kenwood radio) supports, you'll have to use a different display window in YAAC.
Hope that helps explain why the Radio View works the way it does.?
