Re: Station Status
Frankly, I didn't think status would be changing that rapidly when I designed the UI. The events I was working, I would be "En Route" going to the event, "In Service" the whole time I was there, and

Let's get this thread back on the correct subject line.

Re: Station Status
This is an interesting idea. To me, the MicE status has always been a useless piece of information *because* it was too difficult to change the status and most (all but DOS APRS?) clients don't

Okay, I am new to this. I am happy you have $600 for a new radio for APRS, I do not. To begin with, I have to use existing or low cost equipment. For my desired purpose, I am using equipment dedicated

Re: Message box
I'll second the vote for a smaller footprint display, if it's possible.
In my case, I have the Pi hooked into my car's in-dash unit (back-up

Re: Bug: Clearing monitor frequency

Ahh, yes, this worked well. I had specified a VHF frequency but setting it to 0 cleared it.

Re: Message box
Hmm, maybe I'm missing the point too - of WA7SKG's complaint. I have been using APRS or nearly

Let me clarify.
YAAC's screens were designed for a conventional laptop PC, with minimally 1024x768 pixels to work with. They weren't designed for low-resolution screens, because it's too hard to draw

I did a restart and didn't see anything in the startup messages or the syslog related to an exception. I really don't see any errors. It's just as if the web server isn't being enabled.
