Repeater Finder NOOB
|
Loaded the repeater finder plug in and set it to Manual Tuning with several of he categories (2m, 70cm, DStar, etc) selected and then View > Nearby Repeaters and didn't come up with any listing.? I'm concluding it's because there are no repeaters in my area with APRS Beacons. Can someone give me some coordinates I can plug in to see it function?

How long did you wait for the list to populate? The entries on the repeater list come from APRS Objects transmitted by other stations where said Object describe a repeater. If you don't see anything after half an hour, there's probably no repeater objects in your vicinity.
YAAC can handle a very large APRS-IS feed if your computer is fast enough and allocates enough heap to the Java heap (at least a gigabyte). I routinely test it with the unfiltered feed on port 10152, which is the entire planet. So you could use a large radius on a r/lat/lon/range filter for your APRS-IS connection to get more stations. Pick a center point that's around a moderately large city (not so large as to have zoning ordinances preventing amateur repeater towers) and see what you find. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Jeff <KO4NCC@...> Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2024 8:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [yaac-users] Repeater Finder NOOB Loaded the repeater finder plug in and set it to Manual Tuning with several of he categories (2m, 70cm, DStar, etc) selected and then View > Nearby Repeaters and didn't come up with any listing.

Hi Andrew,

Drat! Another bug, caused by a fix for a plugin interoperation bug a few builds ago. Thankfully, it doesn't keep the plugins from working, it just makes them look strange in the plugin installation window. I have a fix for it, which will appear in the next build.
Keep those cards and bug reports coming! :-) And, in the bug reports, don't forget to mention which build of YAAC, what operating system version and CPU, and what build and vendor of Java you are using. Those points matter when reporting a bug, because it may be peculiar to your environment.

HiAndrew,

On a related note, none of the repeaters in this area show up on the repeater finder plugin even though nearly all have objects being displayed. Can you point me to a reasonable document on what format the object should be so they appear? Carl. |

The format was defined by Bob Bruninga WB4APR (SK) many moons ago, and is on his website at
The Kenwood radios are very picky about the format. Hope this helps.

开云体育Ok, the local digi is broadcasting the following"VK1RGI-1>APDW15:;146.95 ? *111111z3531.60S/14846.30ErT091 -060 2mRPT” "VK1RGI-1>APDW15:;146.90 ? *111111z3523.10S/14848.80ErT091 -060 2mRPT” which as far as I can see is right? What it is showing on the map are a heap of stations, none of which are repeaters. ?There is nothing showing in the table though. ? Any ideas? Carl. |
开云体育Note that Bob's spec says that the frequency must follow the symbol code 'r' in the format "146.950MHz", followed by a whitespace and then the T value. Because these objects don't gave the correctly formatted frequency as the first part of the
free-text comment, they won't work on a Kenwood nor on YAAC.

There are many vendors of Java? On Jan 25, 2024 6:48 AM, "Andrew P." <andrewemt@...> wrote:

开云体育The owner of Java (Oracle) has builds for major operating systems, with their enterprise features and enterprise licensing baggage. Then there is OpenJDK, built for many more platforms, and customized variants thereof by O/S venders such as
Apple and RedHat.
So there are different vendor variants of each release of Java for each O/S, each with their advantages and disadvantages but still supporting the specified release of Java.
As such, it may make a difference in resolving a YAAC bug, though the Java release number and the operating system generally have more influence in causing platform-specific bugs.

Thanks. I had no idea. More money for Oracle customizing builds for so many companies? On Jan 25, 2024 10:39 AM, "Andrew P." <andrewemt@...> wrote:
