Re: Chasing Balloons/Radiosondes
Use the Chasemapper app in conjunction with radiosonde autorx, the sondes used to be reported to APRS, but it caused to much network traffic. Go look thru the autorx site and the group messages, you'll see the reasons there. Chasemapper app works very well, it gives you a predicted landing site that is very good.

Chasing Balloons/Radiosondes
I'm thinking about getting into a new aspect of things. Not specifically ham radio but adapted to and from it. The airport a few miles away launches weather balloons twice a day which carries a radiosonde that broadcasts on around 403 MHz. I'm putting together some receiver packages for the house and the mobile to receive and decode these things. They provide weather as well as position data. They show up on aprs.fi.
I'm planning on using the Auto-Rx package for the purpose. What I'd like is for it to display as an item on my YAAC display. In the house, on the big screen I can watch them and, if I see something viable, hop in the truck and track it in the mobile and maybe find the device when it lands. So, this leads to a few questions. Is anyone familiar with Auto-RX and interfacing it to YAAC? Is it possible to navigate to an APRS item shown in YAAC, or do I just watch the screen and head for it? Any other suggestions or tips for this project? Thanks. -- 73, Michael WA7SKG "Any day you do not learn one new thing is a wasted day." |

Re: Give station tactical call/Alias
Greetings.
Half of what you want is already within YAAC. The other sounds like an interesting idea that I will be investigating. To set the tactical name associated with a station, find the station on the View->Stations/Objects List table. There are two columns fairly far to the right entitled "Alias" and "Alias Symbol". To change the label for a station, enter the case-sensitive text you want for the tactical name in the Alias column in that station's row. You may want to click the red stop sign button on the Map window to get the table to hold still if you are getting a large number of new stations in the list; make sure to click the green Go button when you are done so you don't lose traffic. If you don't like the icon that the station is reporting, you can click in the Alias Symbol column for the station's row and pick any standard APRS icon (or type the symbol table ID or overlay followed by the symbol code if you don't want to scroll through the list and you know the code you want). Both of these will override the normal display on the map of the affected station as long as you have checked View->Layers...->Show Local Aliases (checked by default). Note that aliased stations' names show in blue on the map, where actual AX.25 sender callsign-SSID show in black. Also, tactical names do not have to comply with AX.25 callsign-SSID rules, but it is recommended not to make them much longer than normal callsign-SSID names to keep from cluttering the map; they are restricted to under 57 characters if you intend to share them with other stations (explained below). To stop using a tactical alias name or symbol, clear the text in the appropriate field for the desired station. Note (only if you have an RF port) you can send your local tactical names to other stations supporting the TACTICAL message (YAAC and Xastir both support this message; other APRS programs' capability in this area is unknown), and also query if another local station has tactical names defined. If some other station tries to push tactical names to you, you are asked by YAAC whether to accept the other station's tactical definitions (either this one time or for the life of the YAAC session). Only YAAC can send and receive alias/alternate symbol displays for a station. The send and receive is done from the Query menu. Note you will not see those choices if you only have an APRS-IS port and no RF port, as tactical names are for your local tactical operation, not for planet-wide usage. You can also save and load your current list of tactical aliases with the File->Save->Tactical Names and File->Load->Tactical Names menu choices. Alas, you do have to know the actual callsign-SSID used in AX.25 packets to send an APRS text message to another station. However, if you right-click on the station in the Station/Object List or on the map and select Send Message from the popup menu (only doable for stations, not Objects or Items), YAAC will automatically fill in the real callsign-SSID as the message destination, even if the map is displaying the tactical alias. Note that some stations (typically digipeaters) use a tactical callsign (such as their town name) instead of their real callsign in the AX.25 sender field of their beacons; they meet identification legality by including their government-issued callsign in the free-text comment field of the position beacon. Hope this helps.

Ideally messaging I could also go to sag 3 and have the software translate to the necessary callsign for FCC compliance, but I’ll take what I can get. anyone know how to do this? |

Re: i want to send weather data(nmea2000) from signalk to YAAC
Hi White Mane,

The NMEA data YAAC wants is on your RPi’s port 10110. That’s if in SignalK you’ve enabled the ‘Convert SignalK to NMEA0183’ plugin and configured the RMC sentence for output. But YAAC needs to support IP datastream ports in addition to physical serial ports for that to work Perhaps it does, but I haven’t managed to find how to configure one yet. Cheers, Mike.

First of all would like to thank You, about great job you did and do. Awesome. There is nmea2000 backbone bus in my sailing vessel. And OpenPlotter on raspberry pi that connects the bus.

SignalK accepts data from NMEA0183 or NMEA2000 sources via appropriate hardware interfaces (eg Actisense NGT-1 for NMEA2000). It then makes the data available to apps in an ‘internet friendly’ format. Or one can have it output NMEA2000 data as a NMEA0183 IP datastream. It would be nice if YAAC was able to accept NMEA0183 TCP datastreams on IP ports. I’d certainly use it and I’m sure many other sailors would too. And that doesn’t mean they all need SignalK since most modern onboard networks have a WiFi hotspot which emits a NMEA0183 TCP datastream. 厂别别… * * * Cheers, Mike.

Re: i want to send weather data(nmea2000) from signalk to YAAC
Nope. There is no support for NMEA 2000 bus interfaces in YAAC, and since the NMEA is so tight-lipped as to not make their specification freely public (as opposed to NDA after you pay US$2000 to see it), I don't expect to see direct support for it any time soon.
As for interfacing to a SignalK gateway to an NMEA2000 bus, never heard of it before. Looks interesting (as a source for both GPS and weather data), but I'd have to see how much interest there is in it before spending time coding up a plugin to add a YAAC port for it.
