so when I use the pull down in YAAC there is a send email prompt that says send email via winlink. This cannot be done then from YAAC??

YAAC is an APRS client. Winlink is a different protocol. You will need to use a WinLink compatible client to connect to a WinLink node or process traffic.

Hi All, I thought I sent out this message before, but never saw it on the groups messages..?
Anyway, trying to get the email working for YAAC, but don't seem to be able to figure it out without an assist.?
I have an account with winlink, but I get a response when sending an email that says?
"invalid login challenge response" it looks like the sequence number is there, but not sure if I need to add the password to the YAAC program somewhere??

Hi, first post, new to APRS, but was very active with packet back in the 80's.. wow long time ago..?

Anyway, I have an account with winlink email.. and have a login and password.? But it's elusive to me how to email from YAAC?
I keep getting invalid login challenge response..?
I saw? something about the program should mix in the password with? seq number.. but have no idea where I use the password in YAAC.?
probably a no brainer.. but need a bit of help.?
Thanks es 73?

I thought I posted on this a week or so ago but I’m struggling to get packets from IS out over RF through my Igate / Digipeater AG7GK-2
I’m running YAAC with two ports defined:
Serial TNC on TNCPI - works great for Digipeating and igating so far
APRS-IS port - filter is defined as m/120 -p/CW

When I transmit from my HT the Igate picks it up fine and gets to my phone. ?The ACKs are sent from the phone but do not Igate out to RF even though I have RF> IS and IS>RF checked in “Transmit Tab”. ?I’ve tried filters to specifically allow traffic by type and by callsign but no luck. ?I”be not had this problem with APRSIS/32 OR aprx clients but they are deficient in multiple ways compared to YAAC.?

Thoughts? ?

Why do the supplemental Igate filters disappear when I save them to the field on the transmit tab?

HT CALLSIGN: AG7GK-7
PHONE CALLSIGN: AG7GK-8
IGATE / DIGIPEATER: AG7GK-2

Hello,

I've been really impressed with YAAC. I have set up a Rpi3 with TNC-PI2 connected to a yeasu 2980R 2m rig.? I originally started with a windows 7 machine running APRS IS/32 which worked great for last couple of months but I wanted something more portable that I can put at a repeater site my buddy has space in so I moved to the TNCPI.? I set up APRX first but it lacks good message management and a basic GUI and I really want to use YAAC.? Which brings me to my one problem:

I can't seem to get IS messages back out over RF despite having a Supplemental IF filter set and a filter set on my IS port.? On the other apps I had no problem testing sending from my APRS client on a phone / tablet out to my HT over IS > RF and back again from HT to Phone from RF > IS.? Both RF and IS igating are configured.? I'm assuming it's something to do with the filter OR my digipeat path settings but at this point I'm so turned around I can't get what was working quite easily on my last two configurations to work with this.?

Could someone check out my configs and let me know what I'm missing?

My callsign SSID assignments are as follows:
AG7GK-2 is the Igate / Digipeaters (RF AND APRS-IS CONNECTED)
AG7GK-7 is my HT, a yaesu FT2D
AG7GK-8 is my Iphone / Ipad (depending on which is connected and on) connected to APRS-IS

Main expert General config screen(don't see any relevant settings):



Note: Whenver I set a supplemental Tx-Igate filter it does not "store" in this field, I can't tell if it's working or if it is getting overriden by the APRS-IS port filter.? At this time i set that filter to m/120, or 120km range from my beacon location.?
I have RF>IS AND IS > RF gating enabled










Here are some examples of messages:
My HT beacon and raw filter from YAAC entry:?


I confirm that message and show good path on APRS.fi through AG7GK-2


Mesa from AG7GK-2 to AG7GK-7 over RF worked great, ACK received from AG7GK-7 TO AG7GK-2



I sent a message back from the HT AG7GK-7 over RF to AG7GK-2 and received and ACK on the HT



Testing from HT TO pocket packet AG7GK-8 i do not receive an Ack? though the phone sends it:



What issue do I have with my digipeat / igate settings or paths??

Thanks AG7GK

Interesting... What data is there in that tile to tell you the base layer of what's there?

Eric WG3K

The answer _should_ be "yes". If an I-gate hears a packet, it should always forward it (not sure if the digipeater anti-looping logic should apply to an I-gate). Of course, that also requires that the I-gate's Internet connection is up at the time, too; I-gates don't generally cache packets if their Internet connection is down.

Subject: [yaac-users] General APRS Question

I have a general question about APRS, not so much about YAAC. If my path is set to direct, and my packet reaches an igate, will it still make the internet? I say yes because path doesn't have anything to do with igating.
Thanks,
Danny

Yes, that's a problem I've been wrangling with for quite some time. Dicing up a map into tile squares with large bodies of water makes it hard to figure out which edges of the square are the body of water, and I'm still trying to fix the algorithm.

I've noticed that YAAC isn't rendering water that is contained by shoreline ways as being water. This leaves a lot of water area showing up as white space.

Thanks,

Are you running YAAC on Windows? I had one other report of this, and my current guess is that YAAC is trying to read the wxnow.txt file at the same time the other program is writing it. Microsoft Windows generally locks a file opened for write for exclusive access, so YAAC wouldn't be able to open it for read. The current code in YAAC can't handle being blocked from opening the file; I have a fix in the upcoming next build of YAAC.?

Good evening group,
Yet another question. I am using YAAC along with my Davis weather station and for the most part it works good however every couple of days the WXNOW. TXT port becomes disabled. When clicking the WX button on the main screen, the “enable port” box is unchecked and if looking in the configuration menu under ports the enable box is still checked but the text is in red. Any thoughts or suggestions on what is going on?
I have YAAC handling Digi, IGate and weather so I’m not using any weather symbol.
Thank you in advance, Alan N2ZVN

I concur... it’s been awhile since I’ve been able to participate and I’m just now getting my iGate set back up... going to see if a FTM-350 is up for the task.?

Hi Andrew,

Ditto with the others -- many thanks for continuing to support such a
great program.

BIG "Thank You" for being there!

GREAT application even if I am still learning LOTS...

Greetings, all.

Just letting you know I haven't forgotten about you all, and the bug reports you have submitted. I'm still working on YAAC. I have a rather large new plugin feature I'm working on, which requires a few supporting changes in the core application, so I want to get it right before releasing it. So, the next build of YAAC will be coming out soon, but not quite yet.

Thanks for making all this work worthwhile by using my program.
