Ok, specifically which of the 13 TEXT-based things are such a "huge" benefit? I'm still not buying into it, but I CAN be swayed (maybe). Just don't tell me that a text-based Lat/Lon/Symbol is better than the map at showing the current location of someone. And why would Net Control care about the ToCall all the time (enough times to have it in the table?)? PHG for Net Control? Doubtful here. Altitude, don't ask me where e-mail comes from in an APRS packet? Yeah, I'm not seeing 13 useful things to be always on-screen in a table being useful to anyone for long.

Re: TNC Wiki - Kenwood TM-D710 Port (APRS mode)

Kenwood needs to be in "Packet" mode to be controlled by outside program. Has Lynn made a work around for this?

I have also tried the CONVERSE mode of talking with the radio, per a previous message from Lynn, which puts APRS32 in control of all functions and it seemed to worked. But I have to revisit it to see what it was I did to make it work. I'm wanting both options to select for different purposes. Stan, KC7EHJ

Re: Path Lines
Lynn Deffenbaugh
Please define "disappearing". What is the situation and when do they disappear that you'd like them to stay?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
When a mobile station is no longer visible, it's track will disappear. UNLESS that station is "centered" in the current window in which case the track will remain visible. However, there is no way to have all tracks that have crossed the window that you're viewing to remain visible short of zooming out until all of the stations that have passed by are actually visible on the screen. Please provide a use-case as it it non-trivial (performance-wise) to draw ALL tracks for ALL stations ALL the time. Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32

It's probably a long shot, but I thought I'd bring it up. I just got my 100lx Palmtop file transfer software running, and the com port ownership was the last piece of magic needed to get it to work.

I'm not at home to verify either, but I thought "THESE" devices had permissions that would allow access. In the writeup I sent for inclusion in the wiki, I did not have a "NUMBER" after the regestry entry. As others have pointed out here, that gets generated the each tiome (or maybe the first time) WINE reads it. That information may be added, if necessary. The comment was to "cut and paste" so if you did that it wouldn't have that serialized number.

Re: APRSIS32 under Linux
...In my tinkering, I found that the number string you provided I confirmed this at http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wine_Registry. The numbers at the end of the bracket are indeed a key timestamp, specific to each entry and is automatically generated when the file is saved and/or when the bottle is booted. Initially, when I used the number from what was provided, the second window never would come up. It wasn't until after leaving that blank, it provided its own number and the second window for configuration came up. 73 John

There is one more thing you need to do to activate the serial ports when using Wine - you need to edit the "registry" to explicitly enumerate the ports, otherwise APRSIS32 can't see them. I won't be able to confirm my actions until I get home later, where my GPS is with the cable but this is what I've done so far. I accessed the link you provided and tinkered with the entries on the reg file. In my tinkering, I found that the number string you provided at the end of the brackets appears to be "serialized" with each reg file. I looked at other bottles and their respective reg files and all of them had a different number at the end of the brackets. I invoked into my reg file the following command: [HARDWARE\\DEVICEMAP\\SERIALCOMM] "COM1"="COM1" "COM2"="COM2" Within the bottle of my APRSIS32 program, I simulated a re-boot and ran the program. I accessed Configure/Ports/NMEA and answered the TCP/IP No, and the second window did come up for me to set the parameters for the GPS. Now, I will have to wait until I get home to further test but I have every belief that it will work. I will follow-up with my findings. I'm surprised that WINE doesn't incorporate this into the registry for all, unless it causes conflicts with others? Is this something that can be incorporated into the wiki to help others in their setting up? 73 John

The network paths are great!!! And I really like them. But what I would like to see "like in another program" is a real time path that my station heard on RF, from the say 3 hop max, back to me.Answer me this: How is seeing station's "say 3 hop max" showing "your stations performance"? Your station's performance, I would think, is based SOLELY on your DIRECT receptions, which are shown now if you select View / None, Screen / Paths, and center on your station. If you want to see the coverage of the digi that you seem to hear fairly reliably, do a MultiTrack on that digi, View / None, Screen / Paths and you can see the DIGI's coverage, which IMHO, has nothing to do with your RF station's coverage. Now, if you want to see ALL of the packets that your station is hearing over RF, well, wait for a new Screen / Paths / LclRF option to come out, or just Configure / General / Range to zero on your RF-receiving station. Then you can View / Paths and Screen / Paths and you'll only see stuff that came in via RF because that's all the instance will see. I run my own KJ4ERJ-1 RF IGate with a range of zero all the time so that it's map (primarily, but that's an APRS-IS discussion) shows only what it hears on RF. And as for disappearing, download the latest Dev version and Screen / Paths / Age / Flash with a reasonably busy feed... Philosophy: On a specific station basis, OUTBOUND paths are accumulated in full, INBOUND paths only capture the immediate hop that you heard because there's potentially lots of stuff flooding into that single digi feed to your IGate and that's the Digi's traffic, not yours. Of course, you could always View / RF / All in conjunction with Screen / Paths and that might prove interesting... Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32 PS. As always, the paths only work after you've been running for at least your local "net cycle time" so that your instance knows where all the players are.
