Re: KPC-3+ USB losing the port
RF in the shack?
Often a cause of strange intermittent USB disconnects...
What operating system are you using on the PC?
Can you see any evidence that the USB/serial port changed after
it seems to have disconnected?
(Windows Device Manager)? COM1 changed to COM2
Or (Linux)??? Have a terminal session running somewhere visible
(you can shrink the font, so any such session doesnt "hog" the
display) with "dmesg -wH" running, and see what happens at the
bottom of the list.? That will show any "re-enumeration" activity
(or other weirdness) in real time.
It may not be the PC end of the USB cable that has the issue if
the KPC-3+ has USB/Serial built in.? They would not be the first
company to "update" an existing product by adding USB, and
introducing a new RF Susceptibility issue.

Re: KPC-3+ USB losing the port
Paul ,
?
Just a guess and you didnt mention what operating system you run with it. I wonder if the USB ports are being shut down as a part of the power plan.
You may find this under Power Options > Advanced power settings in Windows 10 .
Here is a web page with some info

Re: KPC-3+ USB losing the port
Paul,
Download the parameters from both and save them. Reset the 3+ then load in the parameters from the 3.
What happens?

Where can I find OSX Sequoia install and run instructions?

If you have a dedicated source of 5.1 vdc, try supplying it directly to the header pins on the Pi (pin 2: 5.1 vdc, pin 6: ground). You can abandon the USB connector completely and avoid the plethora of marginal "Raspberry Pi" usb power supplies out there that put out 5 volts at no load and use small gauge wire.

This is a Pi problem. Too much power hogging on too tiny a power connector with lots of I2R voltage drop.
Or it could be the peripherals connected to your Pi. Try using a single USB cable from the data (not power) USB-A jacks on your Pi to a powered USB hub, and plug your sound card, etc., into that instead of sucking power from the Pi.
Hope that helps.

I keep getting a low voltage warning even after I changed power supplies and checked the voltage. Is this a YAAC problem or a pi problem.

Re: No Beacon tab in expert mode
Frank, I received your private email with the log, and found an interesting "feature". Did you rebuild your Raspberry PI (I can see the operating system type elsewhere in the YAAC.out file), and forget to set the the locale to the United States (instead of defaulting to Great Britain)? The peculiar reason YAAC is failing to show the Beacon tab is because you configured your beacon to display your listening frequency on the 70cm band, on an amateur frequency that is legal in the United States, but not in England. I also see that you imported your configuration from a save file, rather than entering it manually, which is how the "illegal" frequency managed to get in (because the configuration importer assumes that the configuration must have been legal to be there to be exported). Anyway, because the beacon's monitoring frequency is out-of-band for your Pi's locale, the Beacon tab won't come up. I will fix this in the next build. In the meantime, use "raspi-config" to set your locale correctly to "en_US", and the problem will go away. I've seen this problem before when users wanted to pick a reported frequency in the range 440-450MHz, and couldn't do it because the British locale doesn't allow it. You're the first one to figure out a way around the restriction. Congratulations. :-) Hope this helps.

Re: APRS Tactical Messages

Hi, Alex.
I'm Andrew, KA2DDO, the author of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"). This mailing list may not be able to give you the best advice regarding SARTrack configuration, so you may want to email Bart ZL4FOX (the author of SARTrack) at
support@... and see if he can help you. I don't know if Bart has a mailing list.
Another good mailing list is [email protected] which is a general list for all things APRS.
The website has good fundamental information about APRS, so you can be a good netizen on the APRS net.
Also, I wrote up a somewhat long article on basic concepts of APRS that you might find useful to read now that you are on the YAAC mailing list. You can find it here:

Good day Alex,
?
In the last few weeks, I (we) have noticed lots of APRS tactical messages from you.
?
It appears that you are sending your digipeater beacon every minute as well as SARTrack with a beacon every 15 seconds.
?
Remember that APRS relies on multiple radios and systems to rebroadcast your data. This means that your beacons are flooding the network with little to no real ability to be propagated with other
traffic.
?
Would you be willing to adjust your settings to fall in line with a best practice APRS configuration. Your tactical messages are being received worldwide.

Thank in advance for your consideration,

Re: APRS Tactical Messages
Hi, Alex.
I'm Andrew, KA2DDO, the author of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"). This mailing list may not be able to give you the best advice regarding SARTrack configuration, so you may want to email Bart ZL4FOX (the author of SARTrack) at
support@... and see if he can help you. I don't know if Bart has a mailing list.
Another good mailing list is [email protected] which is a general list for all things APRS.
The website https://how.aprs.works has good fundamental information about APRS, so you can be a good netizen on the APRS net.
Also, I wrote up a somewhat long article on basic concepts of APRS that you might find useful to read now that you are on the YAAC mailing list. You can find it here:

Welcome to the APRS party, and take your time figuring things out and adding new features.
Andrew, KA2DDO

Good day Alex,
?
In the last few weeks, I (we) have noticed lots of APRS tactical messages from you.
?
It appears that you are sending your digipeater beacon every minute as well as SARTrack with a beacon every 15 seconds.
?
Remember that APRS relies on multiple radios and systems to rebroadcast your data. This means that your beacons are flooding the network with little to no real ability to be propagated with other
traffic.
?
Would you be willing to adjust your settings to fall in line with a best practice APRS configuration. Your tactical messages are being received worldwide.
?
Thank in advance for your consideration,
?
