Re: Where is the YAAC configuration profile stored?
Thank you again, Andrew. Helpful info.
?
I'm not proliferating stations. I'm just trying different configurations on one or two local computers to determine what works and how to "package" the stuff I need for operation. Right now I am not running any critical service, just trying to learn the ins and outs to see what interests me.
?
I was drawn to YAAC because of the messaging and chat over APRS capabilities. I have a FTM-500 and a FTM-100 which both do built-in APRS, but the lack of a good interface to the messaging was frustrating. I had used YAAC a few years ago while living on the Big Island Hawaii, so I already had some inkling about it. But, I hadn't used it in several years. Now, I'm playing with it again.
?
Your help is much appreciated.

Re: Where is the YAAC configuration profile stored?
If you really need to transfer your configuration from one computer to another, YAAC does allow you to export the Preferences configuration data as an XML file, and partially read it back in. The reason for partial readback is that I didn't want people to use this config export and import to create dozens of identical duplicate stations that would damage the network (i.e., which is the _real_ AB3DE-2 station?), so station-identification-specific information is deliberately discarded on import and has to be manually entered. Similarly, platform hardware specific information is discarded on import (for example, a Microsoft Windows system would not have any /dev/ttyUSB0 ports like a Linux system would have, and similarly for COM5 ports on a Linux system) and has to be re-entered.
Hope this helps.

Re: Where is the YAAC configuration profile stored?
YAAC uses the Java Preferences library to store its configuration data. On Mac OS X, preferences are stored in the user's Library/Preferences/ directory, in an Apple binary properties file named org.ka2ddo.yaac.plist. All the profiles would be stored in this file.

Re: YAAC failing to display menu on OSX Sequoia
Many thanks, Andrew. That was indeed the problem.
?
Since I don't usually need the the JDK, I installed the "recommended" JRE from Oracle, which is still 1.8 (Java 8).
?
I removed the JRE and installed JDK 23. Now, YAAC works perfectly on the MacBook Air M2 Sequoia 15.1.1.
?
Great support.

Re: YAAC failing to display menu on OSX Sequoia
开云体育Greetings.
I found the problem you are reporting. A fallback for use of Java 8 was not coded correctly. I will fix this in the next build of YAAC. In the meantime, you can work around this by using a newer release of the Java Runtime Environment, such
as Java 11, 17, or 21.
Hope this helps.

Re: Can't download Map
开云体育That is because you're selecting downloading digital terrain elevation data from the US Geological Service, not OpenStreetMap data from my website. Go to File->OpenStreetMap->Download Pre-Imported Tiles, and make sure your download is centered
where your station is.
Hope this helps.

Re: Using RTSystems cables
1200 b, not 9600 b for the radio. That's it's RX/TX baud rate. I believe the comm port rate can be as high as your setup will allow though 9600 b is a nice rate.

Re: Using RTSystems cables
The D710 actually has 2 data ports. The one on the base allows for memory programming and the one not the control head connects to the tnc. I’m beginning to think though this might be a permissions issue.

Re: Using RTSystems cables
开云体育And, as Danny pointed out, the D710's TNC is in the control head, not the transceiver body. Connecting a serial interface to the transceiver body will not be able to access the control head's TNC.
Also, are you using the correct serial port baud rate?
