I want to thank Uri for doing the tedious and (before now) thankless job of correcting my lousy German/Deutsch translation of the YAAC UI. His work is much appreciated, and will be included in the next build of YAAC. Uh, did I get the APRS symbol types correct, or are they incorrect or lousy grammar as well?

I have been trying to find out why a major lake in my area does not appear on the maps in YAAC. Finally found it by zooming in to 0.5 km scale and discovered it is an 'amenity' because it is associated with the power plant. On OSMs website it appears as a lake and at the reasonable scales..not apparently tagged to the power plant that I can tell. How can I change the scale at which the lake appears (ie higher scales) without having every amenity in the area appear as well? -- Mark Lindsey KD6AKC Fauquier County, VA USA

I can't put anything above 147.000 in the Monitor Frequency. Trying to input 147.210 and it jumps from 147.000 to 430.000. Thanks Dale KC2CBD

I'm trying to get a file with all of the heard objects/stations, but the "Save Objects File" on the listing only saves the objects that I've loaded, not the ones that have come in over APRS-IS. Is there a way to save the incoming station/object data? Thanks -- Mark Lindsey KD6AKC Fauquier County, VA USA

Hi YAAC seems to be working OK as an APRS beacon so I have started to get it to work as an I-Gate First I had a good read at the Help files below. I-Gating Tutorial for YAAC Configuring an SSL-Authenticated APRS-IS Port Authenticated Messaging in YAAK I decided to use SSL-Authentication. I have a valid LoTW callsign certificate for GM4NFI I saved a copy of the Callsign Certificate as GM4NFI.p12 as described above. In YAAC I go to View->Authentication Keys->Import Key I name the key GM4NFI Navigate to where the file GM4NFI.p12 is saved. Filter for .p12 files Import the Key So far so good. I now have a listing Name gm4nfi Type Private Callsigns using this key its blank (I would think my callsign needs to be added?) From View I can see details of my certificate(s) see below 3 valid certificates appear - all have my callsign and all have valid dates. Not sure why I have 3 I thought it should only be one? But when I try to Associate Callsigns the button is "greyed out" and cannot be selected. I can't associate any callsign with the certificate. Now if I go to File->Configure->Ports I have 2 ports Port 1 is Enabled APRS-IS euro.aprs2.net Port 3 is Enabled Serial_TNC /dev/ttyS5 (this is working fine) I select Port1 all seems fine but Transmit is Disabled and greyed out. Now if I generate a APRS-IS password from my callsign then it can be enabled. I thought either an APRS-IS password or SSL-Authentication but not both? From the Help "Private/public key pairs can be used as an alternative to the insecure APRS-IS passcode to authenticate YAAC to the APRS-IS Tier 2 backbone, using the SSL-APRS-IS port type. Only key pairs used for the ARRL Logbook of the World and certified by the ARRL's Certificate Authority are acceptable." I suspect the issue is due to not being able to associate my callsign with the key. I can't find anything in the Help about the above. I have now upgraded to YAAC 14 July 2024 version but Associate Callsigns button is "greyed out" Any advice? 73 Dave GM4NFI Below a dump of my callsign certificate (why 3 entries?)

We are going to use APRS for an upcoming event, so I will be setting up a portable station at the event control center to display the APRS users on a big screen. I also want to use that station as a digipeater, as digi coverage in the area is poor. I've not fooled with setting up digipeaters before, so all is new to me. The portable station will be using either a RaspberryPi or Quadra computer running YAAC and Direwolf modem. Is there a configuration for YAAC to handle the digipeat function, or should that be set up in Direwolf? Any good guides or tutorials? Thanks -- 73, Michael WA7SKG "Any day you do not learn one new thing is a wasted day."

I hope someone her can help. I am trying to run yaac on Mac running OSX 10.11.6. All I get when I launch yaac Is a menu bar with yaac and nothing else. Could my ancient operating system be the cause? Cheers Tom Hole kf6kyd

I finally installed YAAC on a pc (Parallels) and I dropped the file into a Ham file. I double-clicked the YAAC.jar and nothing happened except Windows asking what to open it with. Then I tried java -jar YAAC.jar in the widows command line, which did not work either. I think Java is not installed preventing the file from opening. Tim KM4ESU

next beta build#201 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2024-Jul-14 downloadable from https://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html or https://sourceforge.net/p/yetanotheraprsc changes and updates include: 1. increase regression test coverage for GPS package. 2. ensure blinkenlight-launched port configuration editor won't fail to dismiss if there is an error in opening the revised port. 3. fix debug logging logic in TopoLayer. 4. fix shutdown race condition in port close for APRS-IS ports. 5. prevent deleting SRTM files if download errors occur when downloading updated files. 6. fix documentation for MADIS weather checks. 7. Add GPSD JSON tests to GPS unit tests. 8. improve AREDN plugin debug logging. also fix obstruction calculations to account for SRTM tile cells that do not contain elevation data. 9. another attempt to fix timing in unit test for marineports plugin port connector class so false failures don't occur. 10. add PNG icon images for creating startup shortcuts on platforms that don't support Microsoft Windows ICO files.

I am trying to get an old Paccom TNC 220 which I built from kit in the 1980's working as a KISS TNC. I am running YAAC under Ubuntu 24.04 on a dedicated PC with on "old type" RS 232 port which appears as /dev/ttyS5 The TNC 220 is working fine as a Command mode TNC using PUTTY to enter commands all seems normal working as it did in the 1980's. It has a KISS mode which I never previously needed so I am unsure how well it is implemented. I want to use it as a KISS TNC with YAAC. I set the radio and terminal BAUD both to 1200 Word Length to 8 KISS ON Restart TNC 220 lights flash in correct sequence to indicate it has entered KISS mode. I use the the configuration wizard to configure YAAC - so far so good. I add a Serial KISS TNC and configure it. /dev/ttyS5 what I was using with Putty when I use it as a command type TNC. When I press the TEST Port button a blank command window opens. If I deliberately enter an invalid/non-existant port e.g. /dev/ttyS6 (when it should be /dev/ttyS5) then I get the error "Unable to bring up Test-Port for Serial_TNC" but when I enter a correct port I get the blank command window . From this I assume indicates YAAC has detected a KISS TNC? The on-line help states the ... "Test Port" button provides a means of verifying that you have connected to the correct place; it opens a terminal window connected to the configured serial port so that you can manually test the TNC for the desired operation. To complete testing, close the terminal window." My question is "What do I enter in this window to "Manually test the TNC?" What should I see/do in this window to test that the TNC is operating correctly? There is no packet traffic in my area for it to decode. What commands should I enter in this command window to test the TNC? 73

Greetings YAAC Braintrust, On every APRS station that I have using YAAC as a client within the comment of the beacon there is a ",/W" in front of the text (WA5SON-2). This does not affect any of the operations of the beacon from what I can see. This text is obviously not present within the YAAC beacon tab, however I can see it within Direwolf transmit beacons which of course makes it to APRS.fi too. Anybody have information on what this is and is purpose? Here is some station information which came from the one linked above. 1) YAAC Version 1.0-beta198(21-May-2024) a) Port 1: AGWPE Direwolf Beacon: [0L] WA5SON-2>APJYC1,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1:/123300h2957.21N/09616.88W#,/W1 wa5son@...<0x0d> b) Port 2: APRSIS 2) OS: Raspbian 11 (Bullseye) 3) Kernel: Linux 6.1.21-v8+ 73 Brian WA5SON Hockley, TX

The UK APRS frequency is 144.800. There are quite few digipeaters in the UK - I manage three of them in the southeast corner of the country. There has recently been a liberalization of the OFCOM (=FCC) regulations of amateur radio, and is now easier to get a digipeater licensed. The power limit for stations is now 1KW,, up from 400W. There is limited permission of airborne stations, making it legal for APRS equipped balloons to overfly the country. I general, the new regulations are a valuable step forward.

I don't think he's on our side of the pond. :-) Anybody remember what the national APRS frequency is over there? Also note the the UK highly restricts automated station licenses, so there are very few digipeaters to forward more distant packets. Other users have commented on the scarcity of RF-hearable packets in certain parts of the United Kingdom, and the original poster didn't provide a more precise station location.

Hello all. Thank you for creating YAAC, it seems to be one of the only APRS programs that will work with Yaesu's weird data output. Thanks! I have a question about map tiles. I am running YAAC on a RasPi in my truck, it generally has NO connection to the internet. It is already loaded with about 60GB of map tiles from OSM, OpenTopo, BingAerial, etc. These tiles were cached via a GPS program called "Viking" (https://github.com/viking-gps/viking) The tile directories are arranged in the "/{z}/{x}/{y}.png" format. Is there any way I can get YAAC to use these existing tiles? 73 - Eric KG6WXC

Good day, We had an amazing presentation surrounding APRS by Jason (KM4ACK) at our last club meeting where he introduced us to YAAC. Most of my group are technically basic and lean into Windows as an operating system. As we also have Rob from Mobilinkd in our backyard we have a few of us using the TNC product line. Previously to YAAC, I used PinPoint which seems to work fine with windows and TNC4. During my testing I have found a few struggles. The TNC4 Bluetooth connection drops after paring and will not persist - PinPoint when configured reestablishes the connection upon port connection, and then the Bluetooth connection persists. I'm leaning towards YAAC as the issue since PP works. I'm not sure what the proper settings should be for the TNC4 and YAAC. This may null the above point. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance,

Anyone been successful in configuring a direct link between the 3?
