How many times did you create another GPS port in your configuration? That includes re-running the configuration wizard and telling it to create another GPS connection.

Go to the menu choice File->Configuration->Expert-mode, then select the Ports tab. Each line in the displayed table corresponds to adding another port to your configuration. If a port is closed due to some error (e.g., unplugging a USB GPS puck), you should fix the error for the existing port. Don't just create another port.

Since you have way too many, select one of the extra lines that does NOT correspond to your present GPS hookup and click the Delete button to remove that excess port from your configuration. Repeat until only ports corresponding to your actual hardware, network, or software hookups (such as an AGWPE port to a Direwolf instance) remains.

if you can tell me how? to send messages? would? be the ultimate
using?? raspberry pi os and? direwolf and? YAAC.? HF? aprs?
 

Text messages are easy to send in YAAC. At the bottom of the map window is a selector to allow to specify the recipient (either from a drop-down list of stations you have heard, or just typing a callsign-SSID in), the digipeat path to use, and the text message you want to send. Then click the SND button.

If you are going to be operating on HF, there are some things you need to do to be legally compliant.

1. Go into your beacon definition and set the Initial repeat rate to zero. Yes, zero. That means no automatic beaconing (which is prohibited in the 30-meter band by FCC regulation). If you want to send a beacon, you have to manually trigger it by pressing the BCN button on the map window toolbar, every single time you want to beacon.

2. In your Direwolf configuration file, you will have to change the modem settings to use 300 baud and a 200-Hz tone spacing. Even though the symbol rate limitation has been relaxed, that is still the convention for HF APRS. Faster modem speed will just be ignored (because no one will be listening for it), and will mark you as a lid.

More information is on WA8LMF's page on HF APRS.

Hope this helps.
