I am using build 168. All my tiles had been there, the map was working fine no issues. Me still learning my way around FUBARed something, and now I have only 9 tiles with me in the center. I can see the trace to many other stations, but no way to see where they are on a map, just empty squares.

Would someone be kind enough to educate this idiot how to recover them??

Ok, I figured out this one too.? It turns out I did not set a Display symbol in the Beacon.? Once I did that it works.? Thanks again everyone for your help.

Chris W6COV

Thanks for all the help.? I ended up re-installing Java and now it transmits!

But, I see this issue when I look at my packets on aprs.fi:

2022-01-16 21:32:40 PST:?>APJYC1,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1,qAO,::SMSGTE???:@6502820215?Test{m0001
2022-01-16 21:33:09 PST:?>APJYC1,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1,qAR,:=/;Y)@/[M4???#,/W2?[Invalid compressed packet]
2022-01-16 21:35:09 PST:?>APJYC1,qAR,:=/;Y)@/[M4???#,/W2?[Invalid compressed packet]
2022-01-16 21:36:01 PST:?>APJYC1,WIDE1-1,qAR,:=/;Y)@/[M4???#,/W2?[Invalid compressed packet]

My message to SMSGTE works fine but the beacons seem to have a formatting issue.? I must have something set wrong.? Any ideas?

Chris W6COV

The Kenwood D710 is a TNC2-compatible, so just pick that pre-programmed setting,

When you configured the Serial_TNC port, did you enable transmits and specify your callsign?

Subject: Re: [yaac-users] Yacc won't transmit with Kenwood TM-D710

Thanks. I didn't have any trouble connecting to the radio with PuTTY. I am using the Serial_TNC mode in YACC. The radio is set to "PACKET12". I understand the Kenwood has a limited buffer size but it should be able to send something. Sometimes it works for receive, but it never works for transmit. What setting should I put in for "Command to enter KISS mode"?

As we are aware, the TM-D710A has packet/APRS modem built in the head unit, but the chipset used for it has a limited payload so you end up breaking messages into smaller chunks.

I would recommend using the TM-D710A (and the TM-V71A - same radio body) in the traditional packet setup. Connect a soundcard to the Data jack and a serial port to the PC jack. Set the data band to A or B (Preference) and then turn on EchoLink Sysop mode. Then when you assert RTS on the serial port it will key the transmitter of the selected Data Band. For APRS you'll need a TNC like direwolf to encode and decode the modem tones.

The beauty of this setup is you all ready to use the same radio for other modes like FSQ, MultiFSK, SSTV, etc., with fldigi etc.

Well, there are a couple of possibilities.

1. Kenwood radios require RS232 modem control signals (DTR, DSR, etc.). However, in cheap USB-to-serial adapters, these are often omitted as excess circuitry. You may want to get an RS232 line monitor to connect between your adapter and the Kenwood PG-5H cable to confirm the DTR and RTS signals are coming out of your adapter. The below link shows an inexpensive device that I have found to work well:



2. What port type are you using in YAAC to talk to the Kenwood, and what mode is your D710 in (APRS or PACKET)? The Kenwood port type in YAAC corresponds to the APRS mode in the D710, which DOES NOT permit transmitting from an external computer (only from the D710 control head itself). The Serial_TNC port type in YAAC corresponds to the PACKET mode of the D710, which means you lose the pretty APRS packet display in the D710 and all of its beaconing abilities, but gain the ability to transmit from the computer (assuming you enabled transmitting in the Serial_TNC configuration panel). YAAC also has a Radio View window which provides most of the display information of the D710 control head.

Hope this helps.

Attached you should find the last two upgrade.log files.

Speaking of which, could you get the upgrade.log file from your installation directory and send it to me? I want to see if there were any detected errors in your upgrade.

You'll want to delete the entire directory (including subdirectories) where you have installed YAAC. Then you can re-create it and unzip the YAAC.zip distribution into it.

I'm slightly concerned that you put YAAC in the /Applications directory on Mac OS X, as Apple is strict about security stuff; the O/S might have changed permissions on files in that directory hierarchy, such that the upgrader couldn't modify all the files. I will be hardening the upgrade program to better detect such failures, but, alas, that won't help until the upgrade after the new upgrader is installed.

How did you do your upgrade? It seems that your YAAC installation is only half-upgraded. I had to make a fix in build#168 because one of the 3rd-party libraries YAAC uses was compiled with the wrong Java compiler version, so I had to recompile it with the correct Java version. However, the log you sent shows that you don't have the recompiled library, and also some of your plugins weren't upgraded when you did your upgrade of YAAC itself.

Note that you don't really need the Bluetooth plugin on Mac OS X, and I'm not sure how well it works, because you're getting the error saying you don't have the native library package for accessing the Mac OS X Bluetooth protocol stack.

Considering how screwed up your current installation is, I would recommend deleting the YAAC installation entirely and reinstalling from scratch with the latest version.

Good to know. Everyone’s jumpy about l4j these days.

The font issue is weird, but I've never run a Java AWT application on Mac OS X, so I'm not sure where that came from.

It’s valid. There is no “Times” font on the mac. It doesn’t seem to hurt anything, but we can just install it if it annoys anyone.

The last issue is either because you have out-of-date map files (file structure change), or an obscure bug I still haven't tracked down for reading the map files into the renderer.

My times seem to be the same date as the ones on the server;

The error happened when I zoomed out, possibly past where I had downloaded map tiles for. yes, i can reliably trigger it when zooming out past 200km (on the legend). BTW the legend bar shortens to half size but still says 200km. weird.

Sounds like you answered the question. Since you have such a machine, can you download the newer JSSC library you mentioned and drop it in the YAAC/lib directory of your installation (overwriting or replacing the existing jssc-2.9.2.jar [the old one can't continue to exist])? If that works, I'll put the new version of JSSC into the next build of YAAC.

What JSSC are you using. Is it the one at

Well, it looks like macos on arm64 has been added to the precompiled resources.

BTW, I hadn’t noticed the serial port issue on my M1 Max mbp as I use a Moxa remote serial port via tcp and that and the adsb plugin have been working fine (although the heading issue remains).

Otherwise it’s been working fine.
