Re: Mobilinkd NucleoTNC Fails to Connect at 38400 Baud
Andrew,
?
I was able to verify YAAC keeping the correct baud of 38400 for the Nucleo TNC and all is working as it should. Using version 1.0beta210(09-Apr-2025).
?
Thanks

Re: Possible Bug Importing Objects
I found the bug with opening the object editor, and it was introduced accidentally in build 210. It will be fixed in the next build. However, the last comment should be blank in the Station/Object list, as that displays the last comment _received_, and you are apparently never transmitting these objects on RF and receiving them back from a digipeater.

Direction finding settings don't seem to save in beacon configuration
Hey all,
?
I have been trying to understand some of the direction finding extensions of ARPS.? I have specifically been reading from the APRS101 document starting on page 28 for the PHG and DFS data.? I believe that I should be able to set this in a beacon settings.? This data should then be displayed and calculated if I turn on View->Layers->show direction finding.
?
I can set some data for DFS in the beacon settings, make sure to save the settings.? When I beacon I do not see the data in the packet and when I go back into the settings for the beacon all the DFS? options are back to turned off.? It does not seem to save things.? The PHG settings seem to work.
?
?
Also a nice feature would be to have beacon button have a pull down where you could just hit the button and send what is your default beacon or chose one of the other beacons you have created or maybe a new option under message or query where a new window would open up with the PHG and DFS options and the ability to send a one time beacon with direction finding data.
?
If anyone has experience with these features I would love to talk with you.
?
Thanks,
Scott - W2KP

Good day
?
It's been a few years since I've used YAAC. I am using Linux Mint and YAAC version 1.0-beta210(09-APR-2025)
?
Unable to save beacon settings
Can't see my station at aprs.fi
Wizard can't be used to completion; selections are greyed
?
Thanks for any feedback

Awesome thanks for the help and education.?

Yes, those messages in the second screenshot are the messages from the MEG field office. Notice the ARC093,TNC097, which indicates the 93rd county in Arkansas and the 97th county in Tennessee. Is that close to you?
Note that the counties aren't always whole counties; the county I live in is large enough that they have a Northern county and Southern county chunks.

Yes, that's why you needed to download the polygon definitions; they are only referenced by code number (ex., Z55).
The actual reported events use a different scheme called NWS multilines that draw the actual bounds of the weather event (as opposed to the bounds of forecast zones).

You should use OHX, because nothing is being sent under the airport ID (except for a few Canadians sending Objects of the airport AWOS's). The callsign pattern I showed is for the forecasting offices sending forecasted severe weather zones; the real-time weather
objects will use your radius filter.
If you're on the border between two field offices' territories, you would use a filter like b/ABC*/DEF* (with whatever is the three-letter codes for the offices).

Did you set that range on your APRS-IS port filter, or on the range exclusion filter? If you're not pulling it in from APRS-IS, it won't be there to be filtered out.
Also, you might want to use the buddy filter (b/sender*/sender*) to select the Internet servers corresponding to your local NWS field office. Those field office "stations" don't send position reports, so your APRS-IS server won't know if the field office is
within 625 miles of you. For example, my QTH is near Philadelphia, PA, so I would specify b/PHL* to get all the variations of the Philadelphia/Mount Holly office (such as PHLSVR, PHLTOR, etc.).
Hope this helps.

Mike,
If you have downloaded and unzipped the NWS files correctly, these 12 files should be in the tiledir (along with any other ones you have separately downloaded for OpenStreetMap or USGS terrain data):
c_10nv20.dbf
c_10nv20.prj
c_10nv20.shp
c_10nv20.shx
mz30mr21.dbf
mz30mr21.prj
mz30mr21.shp
mz30mr21.shx
z_08se21.dbf
z_08se21.prj
z_08se21.shp
z_08se21.shx
The first 4 are the U.S. county files (not the county warning areas), the next 4 are the coastal and marine zones, and the last 4 are the public forecast zones.
I will be updating YAAC's built-in help files to more precisely identify the data sets to download from the US NWS website.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I need a little help with YAAC. I am trying to get the shape files for NWS alerts installed but every time I try to view severe alerts I get a "There are no DBF files containing forecast zone definitions. Download them and unzip into your YAAC tiledir"
I have downloaded and unzipped the zone, warning area, and coastal shape files and extracted them all into the tiledir file folder and there error persists.
What did I miss.

If you're not pulling it in from APRS-IS, it won't be there to be filtered out. Also, you might want to use the buddy filter (b/sender*/sender*) to select the Internet servers corresponding to your local NWS field office. Those field office "stations" don't send position reports, so your APRS-IS server won't know if the field office is within 625 miles of you. For example, my QTH is near Philadelphia, PA, so I would specify b/PHL* to get all the variations of the Philadelphia/Mount Holly office (such as PHLSVR, PHLTOR, etc.). Hope this helps.

You should use OHX, because nothing is being sent under the airport ID (except for a few Canadians sending Objects of the airport AWOS's). The callsign pattern I showed is for the forecasting offices sending forecasted severe weather
zones; the real-time weather objects will use your radius filter.
If you're on the border between two field offices' territories, you would use a filter like b/ABC*/DEF* (with whatever is the three-letter codes for the offices).

Mike,
If you have downloaded and unzipped the NWS files correctly, these 12 files should be in the tiledir (along with any other ones you have separately downloaded for OpenStreetMap or USGS terrain data):
c_10nv20.dbf
c_10nv20.prj
c_10nv20.shp
c_10nv20.shx

mz30mr21.shx
z_08se21.dbf

z_08se21.shx
The first 4 are the U.S. county files (not the county warning areas), the next 4 are the coastal and marine zones, and the last 4 are the public forecast zones.
I will be updating YAAC's built-in help files to more precisely identify the data sets to download from the US NWS website.
Hope this helps.

The first 4 are the U.S. county files (not the county warning areas), the next 4 are the coastal and marine zones, and the last 4 are the public forecast zones.
I will be updating YAAC's built-in help files to more precisely identify the data sets to download from the US NWS website.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I need a little help with YAAC. I am trying to get the shape files for NWS alerts installed but every time I try to view severe alerts I get a "There are no DBF files containing forecast zone definitions. Download them and unzip into your YAAC tiledir"
I have downloaded and unzipped the zone, warning area, and coastal shape files and extracted them all into the tiledir file folder and there error persists.
What did I miss.
Thanks,
Mike NZ4K

So the files need to come out of the folder they get unzipped to??
Also I believe the names of the files are slightly different, ending in 25 before the extension, does that matter?? I will try this later today if I need to move the field from YAAC/tiledir/mz30** to just have the files themselves in the YAAC/tiledir?

Mike,
If you have downloaded and unzipped the NWS files correctly, these 12 files should be in the tiledir (along with any other ones you have separately downloaded for OpenStreetMap or USGS terrain data):
c_10nv20.dbf
c_10nv20.prj
c_10nv20.shp
c_10nv20.shx
mz30mr21.dbf
mz30mr21.prj
mz30mr21.shp
mz30mr21.shx
z_08se21.dbf
z_08se21.prj
z_08se21.shp
z_08se21.shx
The first 4 are the U.S. county files (not the county warning areas), the next 4 are the coastal and marine zones, and the last 4 are the public forecast zones.
