RXTX native library not found
4
Good afternoon Andrew, Not sure where to begin here. First of all I am very new to Linux so everything I do with it has to be looked up from commands to syntax. I am using a raspberry Pi 4b with raspbian buster. I had YAAC running flawlessly for about 2 weeks in a APRS-IS fashion. Will be adding digi and Igate in the very near future through direwolf. The problem is it worked fine till I installed the last version of YAAC 20200110. When YAAC was restarted, I got the error RXTX native library not found. After clicking OK I was taken to the configuration wizard. I reconfigured and now all I get is receive packets. My node no longer shows up on APRS.fi and can no longer send messages. The error message no longer shows up on a restart however can not TX. I followed the help file for install Librxtx-java But got a file not found error. Thank you for any assistance in advance, Alan N2ZVN

Radio Display
When I beacon from my handheld (Yaesu FT-3DR) and it appears on the radio display of YAAC I see this: `g2Nl"+[/`"6+}_0 I'm guessing that I have something set up wrong in either YAAC or the HT? Thanks, Tom - KG2U

Confused about display
3
When observing the radio display on YAAC when and my separate Yaesu FT-100DR beacons I get this on the YAAC radio display: `g2Nl"+[/`"6+}_0 What do I have configured wrong, either on my HT or YAAC? Thanks. Tom - KG2U

Inconsistent Behavior
3
Andrew, First Thanks for all that you have done with YAAC I've been using it for years without issue for tracking my school's race cars. Since everything is shutdown I though I would take this time to finally build a full APRS station at home. Fresh new install of Raspbian on a Pi 3+ Fresh compile and install of Direwolf 1.6 DEV Fresh download of YAAC Good news: I can send and receive packets! Inconsistent is getting packets from aprs-is I've tried just configuring via Direwolf ... I can get APRIS packets but they don't show up in YAAC I've tried just using direwolf for TNC and configure ports through YAAC ... Sometimes I get a flow of packets ... sometimes not at all ... (I'm near Milwaukee and Chicago there is traffic I should be seeing) Sometimes everything works flawless ... shutdown and come back later and nothing. ... I've tried changing the filter. I've configured GDPS and Manually put in GPS Location ... I'm just scratching my head. I know it is a configuration error on my part, but where? I've attached both my direwolf config and the export from YAAC. Any clarity would be helpful. Thanks

APRS decode/map display, No Internet
2
Previously posted on Facebook-APRS. It was suggested that I post here. Looking for a APRS receive/decode/display map solution for a upcoming race event. Most solutions revolve around an IGate. I would like to do with a SDR, Raspberry Pi and 10" monitor. Suggestions Please. Note: Internet unavailable. There are two digipeaters in the surroundings hills that will cover the race course. Thx, Chuck N7CHS

Packets from IS not igating out to RF
2
I thought I posted on this a week or so ago but I’m struggling to get packets from IS out over RF through my Igate / Digipeater AG7GK-2 I’m running YAAC with two ports defined: Serial TNC on TNCPI - works great for Digipeating and igating so far APRS-IS port - filter is defined as m/120 -p/CW When I transmit from my HT the Igate picks it up fine and gets to my phone. The ACKs are sent from the phone but do not Igate out to RF even though I have RF> IS and IS>RF checked in “Transmit Tab”. I’ve tried filters to specifically allow traffic by type and by callsign but no luck. I”be not had this problem with APRSIS/32 OR aprx clients but they are deficient in multiple ways compared to YAAC. Thoughts? Why do the supplemental Igate filters disappear when I save them to the field on the transmit tab? HT CALLSIGN: AG7GK-7 PHONE CALLSIGN: AG7GK-8 IGATE / DIGIPEATER: AG7GK-2

2 Way IGate
3
I have YAAC configured as a two way iGate. I'd like the packets I send from my phone using APRSDroid to be transmitted locally by my iGate. The phone packets are reaching APRS-IS as I seem them on aprs.fi. But they do not transmit from the IGate. I must be missing something. Thanks Tom - KG2U

Not saving objects
3
Hello all and thanks for letting me join the group. The problem I am having is when I create an object it works fine as long as I have the program running, or don't loose power etc. Then the object is gone and I have to do it over. Can't find a place to save it. It is marked as permanent on the setup menu. Any way not a huge deal I would just like to find out if I am missing something. And I'm sure I am. Thanks Kenny Coen /AB8XG

Hello is it possiable to add more digi setting like conesctive packet send. and to set the time to hold packets for the burst send.

Fixes for some defects in the callsigndb plugin
2
Andrew, I am a retired software developer and Extra class Ham, AG5VQ. I recently started experimenting with APRS and found YAAC to be both interesting and in active development. While experimenting with the callsigndb plugin, I discovered the following defects: Looking up call signs loaded from the FCC DB shows at most the call sign, country, status, and expiration date. Many amateur callsigns from the ACMA database are not found, because clients (e.g. Client id 118314, the Central Highlands Amateur Radio Club) may have multiple call signs. The sequence (No callsigndb.dat; Load RAC; Exit; Load RAC) results in java.io.IOException: unable to move obsolete DB .dat file out of the way The sequence (No callsigndb.dat; Load FCC; Load FCC) results in multiple EOFExceptions. Reloading call sign source can cause an unnecessary rebuild of the DB, e.g., due to mismatches between null valued Strings loaded from callsigndb.dat and empty Strings loaded from FCC, etc. I have created fixes for these defects and hope you will be interested in incorporating them in the next version of the plugin. Thank you for creating YAAC and for making it so useful, easy to understand and modify. Jim Palmer

duplicate messages from new subscribers
2
Greetings, all. I'm not sure if it's the new subscribers sending in duplicate, or a bug ("feature"?) of 开云体育, but I find most new message submitters have two new messages waiting for moderation approval from me. No need to send it twice; I'll get to it as soon as I can get to my computer. It's too hard to use the 开云体育 admin screens on a cellphone. The group is currently configured to require moderator approval for anyone's first message to the group, since anyone can join without requiring moderator approval. I haven't yet have to reinstate moderation on anyone yet (what a polite group!). Andrew, KA2DDO author of YAAC mailing list moderator

next beta build#150 of YAAC, created 2020-May-11

next beta build#150 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2020-May-11 downloadable from https://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html or https://sourceforge.net/projects/yetanotheraprsc changes and updates include: 1. add support for Peet Bros weather stations' "complete record" protocol for sending weather data to computers. 2. add support for manual-only beaconing, on a per-beacon definition basis, so that a system working cross-band VHF and HF (on a band where automatic transmissions are prohibited) can beacon automatically on VHF and comply with regulations on the HF band. Add a more obvious control (the BCN button) to trigger manual beacon transmissions, with a visual indication whether it is "reasonable" to force another beacon. 3. fix proportional path editing logic in case user deletes all paths; this then assumes that the user meant only the direct (no digipeat) path. 4. make some UI adjustments to prevent sudden widening of lists and text fields because the widget doesn't have any text entries to figure the necessary width of the widget. 5. fix NullPointerException when viewing the health monitor for weather stations that have only sent one packet since YAAC has started. 6. stop drawing street names upside down; name flipping should only occur for borderlines (such as province or national boundaries) where the side of the line the name occurs on matters. 7. try to fix parsing for the Yaesu port driver. 8. fix weird case in OpenStreetMap importers where a Relation for a body of water has only one Way in the shoreline, and no labelling tags on the Way (only on the Relation). In such cases, the unlabelled Way is dropped, and the multipolygon element of the Relation gets dropped because it doesn't merge multiple Ways together. 9. some cleanup of online help documentation.

next beta build#149 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2020-May-09 downloadable from https://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html or https://sourceforge.net/projects/yetanotheraprsc changes and updates include: 1. yet more improvements and bugfixes in OpenStreetMap importer, including support for coastline shapefiles and actually fixing tiling of large bodies of water, and adjusting default assumptions for incomplete OSM records to account for cases where the assumptions didn't apply (such as assuming a riverbank is a closed area of a section of the river [both banks] rather than potentially only one shoreline). 2. fix errors in the Maven pom.xml files provided for an alternate means of building YAAC. Note that the Ant build.xml files are still the supported means of building YAAC and its plugins. 3. clean up Javadocs and fill in more missing Javadocs. 4. eliminate incorrect identification of TCPXX as a digipeater alias. 5. more minor performance enhancements. 6. add ability to parse time intervals (Ages) as well as display them. 7. fix up display of the YAAC Help->About dialog, ensuring that it can't grow excessively large from installing many plugins and increasing the font size. 8. allow quad-sized icons so if all icons are displayed in double-size then more significant stations/objects can still be displayed in a larger size on the map. 9. fix displaying weather stations as old-style weather map symbols so that the temperature and dew point are in the configured temperature units instead of fixed at Fahrenheit. 10. fix beacon configuration to ensure any modified beacon record has the chance to be saved when switching to another beacon record, and ensure the controls for setting beacon-specific rates are properly set to the last values for that beacon instance instead of always to the APRS defaults. Also add sanity check to beacon free-text comment in case user puts the word EMERGENCY in the text, just to validate that they really want to announce a real emergency to listening stations. 11. fix configuration wizard to propagate callsign-SSID changes to existing ports rather than only to any new ones (which might not be created when the callsign is changed). 12. add to list of standard APRS-IS backbone rotator domain names, the CWOP rotator (which contains traffic from non-amateur-radio Citizen's Weather Observation Program stations) 13. for the WxNow.TXT port driver, supplement support for the 2-line Cumulus file format with chooseable support for the 1-line Weathercat (TNC2 command-mode frame) format, and allow freely typing the model code of the weather sensor as an alternative to the canned list of model codes. 14. add transmit slowdown to radio ports to try to ensure TNC has time to get the last packet out before pushing a new packet into the TNC, as some TNCs don't have the buffer space for more packets from the computer when the last one hasn't finished going to the radio yet. Was already there for Serial_TNC port type, added for other TNC port types. 15. update the list of referred websites for obtaining OpenStreetMap dataset downloads. 16. restructure the email composition method in the Telemetry Alarm plugin so it can be accessible from other plugins. 17. properly handle weather data in APRS packets when the field is provided but filled with "..." to indicate the sending station does not actually have that data parameter. 18. reduce JVM heap thrashing by replacing calls to StringBuilder.append(s.substring(start,end)) with StringBuilder.append(s, start, end). 19. add more support in core YAAC for inter-plugin data sharing. 20. eliminate spurious re-render of the OpenStreetMap layer just because a new station was heard. 21. refactor MADIS weather data quality check so it can be used elsewhere than just in the Health Monitor view, including in the new Weather Alert plugin (more about this later). 22. fix issue reported on APRSSIG mailing list 8 May 2020 about I-gating packets with embedded carriage return and line feed characters. 23. (provided by James Palmer AG5VQ) fix bugs in the CallsignDB plugin to sup

Screen blanking on map redraw.

Hi Andrew, I’m running Java 14 on an old Mac Pro under macOS 10.14. Whenever I move the map, or zoom the entire map blanks to white, then redraws. Is this normal behaviour? Thanks, Carl.

GPS help

hi. i know you can attach a gps device or manually input gps on Yaac. Is there a way Yaac to retrieve the GPS data via the internet? Similar to when a website asks for location etc? I probably missed something. Sincerely, delivers1234
