Timed beacon not working beta152
HI Andrew
I installed the new beta 152 and notice that the timed beacon does not seem to be working.? I have YAAC set to beacon every 30 minutes.? I can beacon by pressing the space bar or the BCN button but the auto beacon does not work.? I downgraded to beta 151 and the timed beacon works fine with no setting changes.? Is there some setting in 152 for the beacon that I have missed?? Thanks for a great program and excellent support as usual.
Thanks and 73

Re: next beta build#152 of YAAC, created 2020-Jun-12
Thanks. This is great!
I haven't yet been able to get telemetry working, this should do the trick.

next beta build#152 of YAAC, created 2020-Jun-12
next beta build#152 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2020-Jun-12
downloadable from
or
changes and updates include:
1. fix generation of Maidenhead locators to use more string all-uppercase
as specified in the APRS Protocol Specification.
2. fix round-off errors for decoding day-hour-minute timestamps near end of
month.
3. fix some Javadoc errors in source code.
4. fix reschedulable timers (as used for timeslot code in port drivers) to
actually be reschedulable after they expire.
5. properly handle classpath setup for plugins that reject initialization.
6. fix timer-based logger classes to allow changing the flush rate independent
of the log rollover time, and to allow post-processing of a closed
periodic log file.
7. fix configuration importer to force replaced callsigns to be restricted
to legal AX.25 callsign-SSID syntax.
8. allow popup menu "View URL" and "Send Email" to work on map views (as
well as tabular views).
9. add keyboard mnemonics to Bookmarks menu (per James Palmer AG5VQ).
10. allow popup menu on callsign column of Tracked Station table view.
11. fix NullPointerException problem in Radio View display when rapid
updates are occurring.
12. fix formatting of Credits tab of Help->About dialog.
13. make progress dialog more compact so it won't get in the way during
extremely long background tasks (by James Palmer, AG5VQ).
14. correct errors in implementing MADIS quality checks (particularly the
Level 1 self temporal consistency delta checks), add partial
Level 3 spatial consistency checks.
15. add slot length control for timeslotted APRS ports, so that YAAC knows
when to stop adding packets for transmission when the end of the
timeslot approaches, even if there is more traffic to send.
16. more attempts to improve performance of OpenStreetMap renderer.
17. fix way statistics counters in OpenStreetMap PBF importer.
18. add device interface check to Bluetooth plugin using new plugin
error reporting, so user will be informed if host computer does not
have a Bluetooth interface or does not have a native library for
that operating system.
19. add James Palmer's performance optimizations for downloading and
parsing national public record databases for amateur radio callsigns.
20. enhance MADIS Post plugin to allow user-selectable file format in either
CSV or JSON format, with the option to automatically push a finished
file via HTTP POST or FTP to another host, and add help on how to
use the feature. Default format is that used by previous version
of plugin.
21. have the Small Screen plugin remember the desktop position and size
of its window.
22. augment email client code in Telemetry Alarm plugin to allow non-default
port numbers for the remote SMTP server.
23. allow displaying the defined units of telemetry data (as specified
by the remote station) in telemetry alarms.
24. add built-in help for Telemetry Alarm plugin.
25. restructure Telemetry Alarm plugin configuration so email configuration
is done in the expert-mode configuration dialog as for every other
part of YAAC, and add ability to send self-addressed test emails
to verify the email configuration.
26. fix plugin help index XML files to avoid index merge failures.
27. fix Weather Alert plugin to detect wind gusts from stations that only
report current wind speed and not recent gust peaks.
28. add ability to speak station/object course (direction of travel) in
Sounds plugin.
29. add weather station clock error condition to Weather Alert plugin.
30. more fixups of UoMD findbugs issues.

Greetings.
Re; diff between I-gate and S-gate: you said it: the frequency being monitored to forward to the Internet. Also, S-gates generally aren't transmit-capable, i.e., Rx I-gate.
Re: your Maidenhead difficulties: That's odd. The documentation for Maidenhead locators says that lowercase is OK (and even preferred if allowed by the character set in use) for the 2nd pair of letters (at least, according to Wikipedia at ) so that is what YAAC uses when it automatically generates a Maidenhead locator based on the the default beacon's latitude and longitude. However, you can always turn off automatically generating the locator and manually type it in as the first 6 characters of your status text. In the meantime, I'll ask the Direwolf author about it.

I'm trying to set up a Sgate in my regional area 160km south of the big smoke.
I'm using a RPi, a RTL-SDR, and direwolf. It works as an Igate.
What's the difference between an I gate and a S gate? Besides the RX frequency.
In testing my S gate I found I get an error at a remote direwolf receiver telling me I'm using a lowercase character in my maidenhead grid like QF55hd
It doesn't like the lower case hd. I tracked this down to my status beacon but there is nowhere to set the grid square on this status beacon page.
There is only space for my text which is how I know it's by status beacon which sends the lower case character.
I remember there was a once only place where you can set the status grid during the initial installation so how can I replace my grid square QF55hd with QF55HD?
Without deleting and re installing YAAC.
Thanks, Bob vk2byf

Re: What can you add to APRS?
Somehow I missed this over the past few weeks, but it's a great question.? APRS has traditionally been a network of "push" information...the assumption has always been that the digipeater sysops know the local area better than anyone and are best-suited to provide relevant local information.? Of course almost 40 years after the advent of APRS in the amateur community, the proverbial tables have turned.? Now "the computers" know all the local area information better than any single one person could every hope to, and so the paradigm has shifted from a "push" to a "pull" mindset, particularly given the limited bandwidth of the traditional APRS channel.? This begs a few questions in my mind:
1)? What information is still relevant to the sysadmin "push" paradigm?? Location information probably bubbles to the top of my list, but as Andrew indicates...not all location information is created equal.? Being able to "pull" repeater information via the QRU service is arguably a better system than clobbering up channel bandwidth with packets received largely by folks who already know where those repeaters are (and probably have them programmed into their radios).? Other "push" information which is still relevant:? NWS Weather Alerts, Bulletins, and Emergency packets.
2)? So what is relevant in a "pull" paradigm?? Pretty much anything else...traffic speed "signposts", ham radio supply store locations, coffee shop locations, status queries...the list is as long as your imagination...the only question is can you get the information from one source, effectively compress it into an APRS message, and efficiently get it back to the requester?? Standardizing popular data types into a common format (XXXX IN AN OBJECT format) helps drive commonality in radio manufacturers, but as more radios transition to software, this becomes less important as hams learn to process information outside the radio firmware.? (YAAC is a perfect example of this for me...my FTM-400 has a basic packet processor inside the radio and displays location/direction/weather/etc. information on the radio display, but I prefer to export the data out of the radio into YAAC where I can manipulate it much more freely.)? Also in the "pull" paradigm category would be services like SMSGTE, EMAIL2, WHO-IS, QRU, etc.? These services are initiated by the end-user when information is either needed, or information is needed to be sent to another data network.? One might consider services like SMSGTE and EMAIL as a 3rd paradigm..."translator" services between APRS and other data networks.
While many urban areas have significant digipeater coverage, here in the desert Southwest terrain still provides limitations to 2m APRS coverage and 1200 baud digis may not be adequate to provide the quality and reliability of coverage experienced by most urban/suburban APRS users.? As such, providing the ability to more efficiently/effectively utilize APRS on HF bands provides an enormous "service" to those of us who have a "4x4" selector in every vehicle we own.? Andrew has done great work in this respect by implementing the ability to connect YAAC to W1HJK's Fldigi software using KISS TCP.? This has created the possibility for new life to APRS over HF; however, what is needed is standardization of operating mode and frequencies to enable end-users to get their data routed to both APRS-IS and distant destinations.? Direwolf provides similar functionality using KISS TCP, but utilizes the legacy 300 baud AFSK standard originally used for HF APRS.? Other software may provide even more transport options...commonality is what makes a network work.
One piece of software with which I've been experimenting is Jordan Sherer's .? Jordan has provided a UDP port in JS8Call which utilizes JSON to move information in/out of JS8Call, as well control some features of the software.? JS8 mode provides excellent weak-signal performance, and in its normal mode decodes quite nicely down to around -20dB SNR.? I've been running a copy in my truck utilizing a RaspberryPi and a 7" touchscreen for about 8 weeks now and have been impressed with how reliable and seamless the JS8 data comes streaming in...even at the bottom of Cycle 24.? My is truly impressive on most days.? Jordan has implemented some basic APRS functionality into JS8Call which allows the user to send raw APRS packets on-air which receiving stations can port into APRS-IS.? While the functionality is currently only one-way, my experiments with it have yielded the conclusion that JS8 may very well make a decent transport for APRS on HF.? For those of us who spend a lot of time in remote/austere back-country travel, the implementation of a reliable HF solution using APRS would be very welcome.? As such, I've begun preliminary work on coding a "translator" interface which will ultimately connect a YAAC KISS TCP port to JS8Call UDP, allowing JS8Call to function as a Layer 1 modem to move APRS packets over HF.? While the data rate is slower than classic 300 baud packet, the narrow signal bandwidth and weak-signal reliability of JS8 make it an interesting tool for moving APRS data over the air.? The multi-speed modem functionality of JS8Call may provide a way for future development of a "path-aware" modem with self-throttling capability.? The built-in ability to automatically change bands based on time-of-day/propagation conditions adds even more reliability to the "connectivity" puzzle.
Getting back to Andrew's question, there is still plenty to be done to bring "services" to APRS...whether it's aggregating information from other data networks and moving it to APRS "on-demand", or whether it's innovating transport mechanisms to fuse the diligent efforts of multiple existing open-source software developers.? While coding skills are required at some point in the process, ideas are just as essential to give focus to the effort.? Where do you see APRS headed in the next 20 years?

For what it's worth, I have a Raspberry Pi-3B in my car, running
pretty much with no problem.? At least, it has not shut down due to
temperature.? I do have the little fan installed, along with the
stick-on heat sinks.? There's also no "hat" over the top; fans blow
directly on the chips.? I'm using Direwolf and a cheap USB audio
dongle for the TNC.? PTT is from a GPIO pin and a 1-transistor
buffer.? GPS is from a USB GPS puck (a Garmin, I think).? I have the
Pi's VGA port tied to the car's in-dash display, where the back-up
camera goes.? The display can be set to view the camera even when
the car is not in reverse, so that works out well, though it's a
little small.? Ok, it's a lot small.? But in a pinch, it works.? My
phone / tablet can also connect to the Pi with VNC.
Power is as you plan - USB power adapter in the 12v accessory port.?
The Pi-4 takes more power than the Pi-3, so be sure to size the USB
power dongle properly.? In use I just let the Pi boot when the car
turns on (it's an EV), and it un-cerimoniously turns off when the
car goes to sleep.? I know that's not the best idea, but have yet to
mangle the SD card.? If it happens, I've made an image of the card
from which I can restore things easily enough.
I also can use the phone as an Internet hotspot, but mostly it runs
without it.? There's an option (thanks Andrew!) to automatically
retry the Internet connection when it drops or comes up some time
after booting.? The Pi is running the standard Raspbian Stretch
distro.? Remember to turn off the option that has the system wait
for the network during boot.
Good luck!

Another Duh! I'm using a android Samsung tablet paired to the mobilink tnc3.? It quits because it gets warm. I live in the cold country. I hope the pi 4 won't give me?too much trouble with heat.

The "Refresh all existing map tiles" checkbox says to only updates tiles that you have downloaded before. Since you don't have any previous tile files, there are none to be updated.
Uncheck that box, and then do a download for a specified center lat/lon and radius around that point (the defaults showing should be fine to get you started), and you should get some tile files.
