Subject: Re: Fw: How to block or filter objects from a certain call

If you're asking to filter it from the display, there's not an easy way to do that.

If you're asking to block it from showing up in the packet scroller, use Configure / Scroller / Filter and put in "b/* -b/KJ4GGV*".  The first says to bring in all packets (the default for a blank filter) and the second term blocks all packets source from KJ4GGV.  This only affects the packet scroller which is what your screen shot was showing me.



There's other filter terms that can be used to different effects as well (like -e/KJ4GGV-S which will block just the DSTAR-introduced packets), but the -b/... is by far the simplest.

PS.  I did see your earlier e-mail, but wasn't in a good position to answer it at the time and then it migrated too far back in my inbox.  Sorry about that delay!

Lynn- not sure if this is the same subject but in the attached screen shot, see the repeated packets from KJ4GGV- A, AD, B, C. I believe this is a DSTAR station/repeater. I really don't need to see this over and over, can I filter out? Sending direct so you can see attached.

Hello Every Body,

I just saw a nice Chineese You Tube Radio direction finding

I hope Lynn will fix soon the error in APRSIS32
in CSE/SPD/HDG/NRQ in the heading.

Greetings

Update on things,

All the digis have new beacons that contain the coords. They are showing-up nicely on the map and the paths are working.

I'll update again after test day.

For an upcoming event, we are setting-up temporary digipeaters on an alternate freq. None of the digis have GPS nor are they beaconing with a pre-programmed position.

I want to mark them on my APRSIS map so that the path display will be able to use them.

Do I add the digis as objects, using their callsign as the object ID, or am I using the wrong method?

I think NMEA in/out would be a useful option...

I agree and I've mentioned it in this group before. That led to a
discussion of virtual serial ports, but Lynn had hotter irons in the
fire at the time.

The problem I have is that while mobile, I run both APRSIS/32 to
interact with the APRS world through a Kenwood TM-D710 and I run a
mapping program (Delorme TopoUSA). I have a GPSr connected to the
D710 and the D710 is connected to a laptop computer. Lynn's fine
program can read the GPS sentences coming through the D710 so it
knows where it is. But, TopoUSA is in the dark. My current solution
is to split the data line coming from the GPSr--one side goes to the
D710 and the other side goes to a serial port and eventually to the computer.

But, if APRSIS/32 could pass the GPS sentences out to a virtual
serial port in the Windows OS, I could eliminate having to
electrically split the GPS data.

Hi, I use a phone with windows phone 8, I want try APRSISCE on it. Of cause I will report it's working to author. My id is BH1BMQ. Thank you.

See the article below taken from the ARRL's EMCOMM newsletter. Is it possible to use this system in the program?
 
US NATIONAL GRID - A Geo-Spatial Tool for Public Service Communications
As a result of Hurricane Sandy, northeast responders were certainly faced with response situations in unfamiliar areas or where common navigation aids were gone, flooded or burned over. When such conditions exists, what should be the tool employed to quickly allow for positional reporting and navigation? The answer that many may not be familiar with is: US National Grid (USNG), a national standard coordinate system designed for land-based operations and which is consistent with military operations since 1949.
 
Amateur Radio operators staffing EOCs and supporting emergency communications should be familiar with USNG as responders and emergency managers will be using it. In October, 2012, the Florida Division of Emergency Management issued a new Field Operations Guide that describes how Florida emergency services will use USNG. USNG has been a part of Florida's high level planning documents since 2010 with references going back to 2006.
 
USNG is effectively the same as Military Grid Reference System (MGRS), and is a derivative of the Universal Transverse Mercador (UTM), which hikers employ routinely. USNG can be displayed on your smartphone easily. However, a GPS receiver is not mandatory. Paper maps are always a priority and all should include USNG grid lines when created. Fire and law enforcement computer aided dispatch and mobile data terminals can also be made to display properly labeled grids.
 
All maps need a grid system in order to be most usable. Maps already in use or those found in office supply or convenience stores typically display non-interoperable "bingo" grids. Maps from the Internet are generally devoid of grid lines and thus are effectively just "pictures." What responders and emergency communicators need are properly labeled, gridded USNG maps. USNG can specify areas of 1 Km, 100 meters or 10 meters with as little as four, six or eight digits respectively and without dashes, decimal points or degrees. This facilitates easier radio communications of coordinates. 15S UB 6912 0927 represents a coordinate with precision of 10 meters square (33' x 33'). When the components 15S UB are truncated by local users, 691 092 represents 100 meters square (330' x 330') and 69 09 is the 1 Km square area. In words, 6912 0927 is a location 12% right and 27% up in 1 Km grid 69 09.
 
USNG area references will be used tactically. 100 meter or 10 meter grids can identify helispots, structures, homes, bridges, specific damage, etc. in combination with or in place of the paradigm of street address, as appropriate. Out-of-area personnel may have no familiarity with local addresses, but when versed in the simple x-y nature of USNG, finding a location can be less stressful and certainly more efficient. USNG coordinates for all locations such as shelters, points-of-distribution, staging areas, etc., should be added to all planning documents.
USNG is designated by the States of Minnesota and Florida as the preferred coordinate system. Federal agencies comprising the National Search and Rescue Committee have designated USNG as the coordinate system for all land search and rescue operations as of November 2011.
 
When the street addressing system is unfamiliar, blown away, burned over, flooded or is non-existent in a rural or wilderness areas, the interoperable coordinate system to report position and to navigate by is US National Grid. -- Al Studt, CFPS, KF4KIR, Florida Fire Instructor III, kf4kir@..., Cocoa, Florida

APRSIS32 can take a NMEA data feed from a GPS as we all know.

I have recently written a free GPS simulator app for Windows called simGPS which can generate the NMEA sentences normally provided by a GPS thus simulating a GPS in a static location.

It was originally written for use with a Yaesu DMU-2000 but works equally well with anything that expects GPS NMEA data.

Nice idea.   What is it written in?   Source available?  

Hmm, not that I would ever, ever do this but it would be amusing to create a track showing me doing about 250 kmph along local highways.
