?What exactly do you mean by "YAAC restarts"? Does the map window go away and then come right back up? Or does a different YAAC window appear (possibly one hidden behind the newly-closed window)? Note that the Messages window will auto-open if a message addressed to your station is received (or any APRS text message if you choose that option on the Messages window), and covering it up with another YAAC window does not close it.

Note that closing one YAAC window does not close all of them, so if you have a dozen YAAC windows open, you would have to close all of them individually to get the whole application to exit by using the X button instead of the File->Exit menu choice.

Also, how did you start YAAC in the first place?

Subject: [yaac-users] YAAC restarts on RPi if exited using window X

I am running YAAC 1.0 beta 170 29-Jan-2022 on a Raspberry Pi. If I exit YAAC by clicking on the X in the upper right of the window, YAAC restarts, If I select File > Exit program, then it ends without restarting. This behavior also happened on v167. I upgraded to the latest version to be sure it was not fixed.

YAAC does not restart if I close it by clicking on the X on Windows 10.

Hmmm.... What make and model of TNC are you using? And what make/model of serial port to connect it to your computer? Also, what operating system and version thereof are you using? Windows 11? Ubuntu Linux? etc...

Subject: Re: [yaac-users] Return TNC From KISS Mode
Okay, if I am looking at the right things...
Port Type Serial_TNC
Command string: KISS ON\r\wRESTART\r
I was closing YAAC with the X at the upper right corner. I tried with
File > Exit Program but it appears the TNC remains in KISS mode.
I double checked there were no extra YAAC windows open anywhere.
I just upgraded from 164 to 170 to be sure I didn't miss anything, no
change.
Next idea?
Thanks for your time,
Michael

If you shut down YAAC properly, and have the Serial_TNC port configured with a non-blank (not the KISS-only TNC mode) command string to switch the TNC to KISS mode, YAAC should send the KISS command to exit KISS mode. If you did not let YAAC automatically put the TNC into KISS mode, then it won't take it out.

Note that killing YAAC with the Linux "kill" command or with Windows Task Manager does not give YAAC a chance to send the "exit KISS" command to the TNC. Also, YAAC has to be completely down (no iconified windows still lurking on the desktop).

Subject: [yaac-users] Return TNC From KISS Mode

When I launch YAAC, it puts my TNC into KISS mode. If I want to do
something else with my TNC after closing YAAC, how do I get it out of
KISS mode? I'm trying to run WinLink and it does not seem to work with
my TNC in KISS mode.

I seem to remember a discussion about this a long time ago, but don't
remember how it works. I really don't want to have to open the TNC and
pull the battery to get it out of KISS mode.

Thanks for any ideas.

That error has nothing to do with the shapefiles. That is the system complaining that it can't reach the NOAA server that handles the radar images, or there's a syntax error in the file name. Go to View->Raster Maps, and delete the line that is for the radar overlay.

Subject: [yaac-users] NWS Related Error

Greetings, all. I have the NWS shapefiles downloaded and enabled, but when the NWS sends an advisory, I get the following error:

[cid:part1.r6bfQhzW.qmv7BuFu@...]

Any ideas I could try? Thanks for the help!
