Ah, then you shouldn't be using the Serial_TNC port type, but the Yaesu port type. Yaesu APRS-compatible radios are not KISS TNCs, and in fact do not support any transmissions from an external computer through the serial port interface to the radio.

Andrew,

I am not using Direwolf only trying to read the packets sent from the FTM-500. This is just a receive station only.

If you're using Direwolf, then Direwolf controls the PTT. YAAC does not know when your TNC has a packet to transmit and whether the RF channel is clear, so YAAC must never control PTT; only your TNC (software or hardware) can control the PTT. Digirigs are not hardware TNC's; they are soundcards requiring a software TNC behind them. The only reason Digirigs have a serial port is to provide a PTT interface to the TNC software using the Digirig.

Regarding the window appearing on the wrong monitor, YAAC does remember your window positions. To clear the window position memory (i.e., you've gone mobile and disconnected the second monitor from your laptop), you can specify the -clearWindows option after the YAAC.jar file on the startup command line.

Hey Andrew,

Something really stupid my second monitor showed YAAC. I did not check it because it was shared with my work computer. This happened after I reloaded with the newest version because it was not there yesterday.

I do have a Direwolf problem with YAAC when I select the port the radio PTTs will release until I delete the port. Does your software use RTS when it selects the port? Per the Digirig developer, this makes it PTT the radio. I am using the Serial TNC port.

The web app I used to create and edit the original file I got had little dots. I think that was their default and nothing actually got exported to file.

I suppose so. I was assuming that every waypoint would have some sort of symbol indicating how to display it. How did you manage to create waypoints without symbols? Worse yet, if you started with a waypoint with a symbol, that symbol would be inherited by all following waypoints without symbols (regardless of whether it was correct) until you had another symbol specification.

I will fix it to default all waypoints without explicit symbol specifications to the APRS "waypoint" symbol code \/

Subject: [yaac-users] New local object creation from GPX file points of interest feature

I just got a chance to try out the latest build of YAAC. When importing a gpx file that does not have a symbol defined for the POI that are in the gpx file YAAC spits out an error and does not import the file. I have attached a gpx with(Zane-grey-test.gpx) and without(ZaneGrey50-NC.gpx) symbol defined for you to see. I have also attached the error message.

It seems like it needs a little if null assign a default symbol section of code. Perhaps a colored circle or triangle.

Thanks,
Scott

What did you do to fix it? Others may be interested.

Hey Andrew,

I got it working and I am trying to get it set up with my FTM-500 and a digirig.

Thank you!

The first window was useless (YAAC was not actually running there), but the fact that you received absolutely no new text from typing it in the second window is really strange.

It sounds like the signal isn't getting through, or Apple decided to "help" by doing different key mappings to signals (I ran into similar issues on my Mac, looking for the Meta key since Macs don't have an Alt key). So let's force the signal.

In the first window (where you are at a shell prompt and not actually running a program), issue the command

ps -ef | grep java

This should show you a listing of all the java processes running on your Mac. Hopefully, there will only be one (if you have more than one, then you need to figure out which one corresponds to you trying to run YAAC). The second multi-digit number in the line of the "java" process will be the process ID.

Now type another command in the first window:

kill -QUIT pid

where pid is replaced with the process ID number of the java process. See if _that_ causes the JVM to perform stack dumps.

Hi Andrew,

I held the CTL key and typed \ see below and I hope you can find out what I am doing wrong.

I typed ctrl \ in this window

Hi Tim,
I run it on a M1 Max MBP with no issues. ?However I don’t use the ancient java 8. ?Try installing a newer Java Runtime Environment. ?I use the Bellsoft JDK at??however you should probably use the Full JRE from the dropdown on the same page.
