Configure Digirig on Windows 10 for YAAC


 

Hi All,

I have a iCom IC-8000 and Digirig interface on a Windows10 box, and I am having trouble getting YAAC to work.? I have set up a port for Serial_TNC in KISS Only and TX is locked on.? I have set RTS on and YAAC throws java errors.

Has anyone met with success using a Digirig on Win10?

I have Windows 10 Pro using a DigiRig on an IC-7000.

Bear in mind that a DigiRig is not a TNC; a DigiRig is a sound card interface to a radio, with a serial port used solely for PTT control.

You will need to run some sort of software TNC program to use a DigiRig for APRS. Since you are using Microsoft Windows, you will want to use AGWPE, UZ7HO Soundmodem, or Direwolf. Once the software TNC is working with the DigiRig, you can config YAAC to use an AGWPE port to connect to the software TNC.

Hope this helps.

More than that, it also does CAT data on the same COM port.

But yes, still needs a TNC.

Just to be clear, you don't need a hardware TNC - only the soft TNC as Andrew pointed out. The DigiRig connects and talks to the radio, The soft TNC talks to the DigRig, and YAAC talks to the soft TNC.? You should be able to use either an AGW or KISS over TCP interface in YAAC to communicate with the soft TNC.
