Re: FTM-300 with YAAC over Serial
Hi Andrew, checking to see if you have fixed it. I did a clean YAAC install today and still see the issue.?
Thanks!?

The Yaesu bug was introduced when one of the users didn't want to stay with the Japanese date format, and YAAC misinterpreted the dates in a different format. When I added support for all possible Yaesu date formats, I forgot to include the

Re: Map disappears when drag the map ?
Finally got a chance to look at this. I see that every attempt to render the map is aborted in under a second. Per chance, are you using GPS for a position source and have enabled auto-centering the map? A Celeron processor is pretty slow (you didn't mention what you were using for a disk drive), so if you are constantly moving the map, the render for the old center location would be aborted (never displayed in the map window) and a new render would be started. This would be exceptionally bad if you are zoomed in very close, as almost any motion (including noise in your GPS receiver) would be large enough to force an abort and re-render.

Re: My Brain is about to Explode
Greetings. Sorry for the slow response. I have reviewed your YAAC configuration file, and (assuming that you have a valid passcode entered for your APRS-IS port, there is no reason why your system shouldn't operate as an I-gate. HOWEVER, please remember that you CANNOT use the APRS-IS backbone for propagation analysis to confirm that your station is operating successfully as an I-gate. By design, the APRS-IS backbone servers will keep only the _first_ occurrence of any given packet and will discard duplicates provided by other slower I-gates. And YAAC is a very slow I-gate, so almost any other I-gate software that hears the same RF packet as your station does will get it to the backbone faster than YAAC will (unless there is an extreme mismatch in Internet connection baud rates in YAAC's favor). To confirm that your station is operating as an I-gate, it will have to hear a station that no other I-gate could possibly hear, so that your I-gate is the _only_ I-gate to forward the packet to the backbone. For example, an HT station operating at extreme low power with a lousy antenna. Hope this helps explain your problem.

Bug: sort by string instead of by time
Hello!
I was doing some testing today and was looking at the “Station/Object List”
sorted by “Last Rcvd”. I noticed that this was sorted by string value, not
time. “1h” came first, then “17s”, then “2m 28s”, etc.
I’m assuming there’s a Java time value stored somewhere, which might be a
better value to sort by than the string representation…
Just thought I’d report it. Thank you for your time.

Re: Fixed Coordinates vs. GPS RX
Andrew, you right, that was the problem...! Thanks fort he fast help... It now runs perfect.... I missed that checkbox ! 73 es 55 Wolfgang DL6SW -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] < [email protected]> Im Auftrag von Andrew P. Gesendet: Donnerstag, 2.

I suspect your problem is that your beacon is configured to use GPS coordinates, so if there _is_ no GPS data coming in, YAAC will never send a beacon. I will check the wizard to see if it should automatically uncheck that expert-mode checkbox. But in the meantime, open the expert-mode Configuration dialog, go to the Beacon tab, and ensure the Use GPS checkbox isn't checked (and if you have to change it, save the changes).

Re: TNC for a pi running YAAC
I am also using Direwolf as a TNC and iGate on a Pi. I use YAAC to connect to it over my network.
You can configure Direwolf to be your iGate, no extra software required.
According to the Direwolf community, "You won't find a hardware TNC that can outperform modern software TNCs", and this is likely because in the old days hardware TNCs were needed to offload the load of coding and decoding. With modern machines it's not really needed, but I sure it can be debated. However Direwolf does do a decent job and it just sits on my shelf working away.
Heck, if you wanted you could connect multiple radios and Direwolf will handle them all if configured correctly. I haven't done this yet.

Re: TNC for a pi running YAAC
I've been using a NINO TNC for a few years with raspi, mini-pc, android tablet/phone, and windows pc. it has no extra features like a full TNC might, just KISS interface. Having never used anything else I don't know what I don't know about, but I'm happy with it.

Re: TNC for a pi running YAAC
Bud, I have a similar configuration.? YAAC running as an i-Gate (no digipeating). One feature I like is being able to pull up the map from YAAC from any device in the house with
Hardware config is: RasPi 400, connected via USB to a TNC-X (sadly no longer available) connected to a old Yaesu FT-1500M (also no longer available).? I think MFJ makes a TNC-X equivalent now.
I previously ran Xastir on a an old RasPi B, Not sure what I will use if/when I upgrade, sound card is appealing as it seems to be better at decoding weak signals. I have not personally done a side-by-side comparison, for where I am at right now, hardware TNC works well.
