beacon button remains grey


 

Hello!? It looks like I have direwolf and the latest yaac set up correctly. no error messages.? i have configured both tcp-ip and agwpe ports and connected my HT via cable to the audio input/output of my laptop.? I am running windoz 10 for this exercise.? The beacon button remains grey.? What have I missed?
?
Also, when I zoom out on the map, the tiles are not filled in.? See pic below:
?
?
how can i get yaac to fill in the tiles so that i can view a larger map area?
?
thanks in advance for anyone's help.

I presume you used the wizard to do your initial configuration. In that case, the wizard only pulls in around 100km radius of 1-degree tiles of map data; if that happens to be part-way across a tile, the whole tile is pulled in. This is reasonable as a default, since APRS is a local tactical protocol, so you wouldn't be able to hear RF stations much further away unless you have an unusual digipeater environment. But if you want to pull in more, go to the menu choice File->OpenStreetMap->Download Pre-Imported Tiles, and specify the radius you want to pull in, and let YAAC pull the larger quantity of tiles from my server.

As for the beacon button being gray, on the last panel of the wizard (Finish Configuring Beacon), did you check the "Enable station beacon" checkbox? If you didn't, then you can't send beacons, because you configured YAAC to not do so.
