YAAC over IP not showing on map at aprs.is

 

I believe I have YAAC configured properly, but when I transmit a beacon from my computer via IP my station does not show up on the aprs.is map.? If I use another source, like aprs-droid, the map displays the station.? I am using Linux Ubuntu 20.4 and I have the latest version of YAAC installed.? Who may know what the problem is?
 

Are you sending a position beacon or status message? Where are you saying you are located in your beacon definition? Note that, unless explicitly configured, a status message will _NOT_ report your location, so anyone hearing your status messages will only be able to figure your location by radio direction finding or wild guesses based on what stations are digipeating or
I-gating you.

I looked at aprs.fi, and I see all your beacons (YAAC, APRSdroid, aprs.fi for iOS) are clumped around the south end of a Greek island.

Note that the APRS-IS backbone will never transmit your own packets back to you, so you will only see your packets if they are sent via RF and are echoed back by a digipeater (I see your YAAC RF packets are being digipeated by SV1EMX-11 before reaching the J41VAA I-gate).

Thank you for your quick reply.? I am a little confused.? I think I have the beacon configured correctly.? See pic.? I also changed the text for the beacon.? I seem to be getting position reports of my own station now.? See next pic.? However, the text msg is not updated.? It keeps showing you www address.? What am I doing wrong?? Also, how do I send a status msg?

I'm not sure if your beacon is correctly configured. Do you indeed have a GPS receiver connected to your YAAC system with a Serial_GPS or GPSD port to bring the GPS data into YAAC? YAAC will not send GPS-based position reports unless it is receiving valid GPS positions from its local GPS.

If someone else is sending your beacons, then aprs.fi would display that beacon's comment, or the historical last non-empty beacon comment.

Regarding status messages, they are on the next tab after the Beacon tab in the expert-mode Configuration dialog.

Hope this helps.
