Well I got asked to do data modes for the Olympics in Weymouth, to find
the laptop time was out enough that JT-65 did not work.

Using an adafruit breakout board GPS, that will run from 5V or 3.3V.
Enable input and fix output. Handy for balloons.

Cold starts very quickly. To the point that I have not sorted the
battery backup.

Have had it supplying APRSIS32 via GPSD with location. And time via the
normal NMEA sentences.

Got it running in user mode for NTP time easily, Which to be honest is
good enough.

But attempting to get the more accurate kernel mode working, which is
more of a problem. On my second 10 hour long compile!!

When it's working will torrent an image for everyone, as I will with an
added TNC-Pi setup using XASTIR.

I am hoping we can get APRSISMO working on the Pi. Currently there is a
graphics driver issue that stops it running. To do with 3D hardware
acceleration if I recall.

That last sentence is wrong.   Windows 7 and 8 quite like software being installed in Program Files. That is the proper location for software.  The problem is that much amateur radio software does not like being installed there because the authors insist on putting all the settings files in the same folder as the software or subfolders.  This is now DOS software behaved by default.   This is also directly against the Microsoft standards which have been present since Windows NT 4.0 if not earlier.  The various settings files and downloadable files such as the mapping tiles should be placed in the users Applications Data folder.   Now what happened in Windows 7 is that Microsoft has been tightening up  how things work.

Have you unzipped the file to somewhere other than under program files? Win 7/8 doesn't like stuff installed under there. And if you try to run it from the zip file it will not work correctly.

Subject: [aprsisce] Help with Win 7 instalation


I installed aprisce on my Dell NetBook with Win 7 but when I try to run it, the little screen where you put in your callsign, etc comes up. When I press the button to run all it does is flash and freeze the screen. I have to use ctrl-alt-delete to do anything else.
Any ideas?
Somebody told me to use ubungtu but with a little ADD and after having a stroke I don't do well programing & stuff reguiring a lot of short-term memory. Being a senior doesing help much either even tho i've done electronics all my adult life. Oh yeah, add in tremors which cause me to add extra letters.
So basically, i'm asking for a windows based solution. I was going to use my Vista laptop which it runs great on in the car until the backlight went out.

Am thinking maybe on RF port setup. Beacon ticked but not messages? But I must admit have not tested what actually happens, in that scenario

As Greg said, the APRS-IS passcode is only to validate your packets
when sent to the APRS-IS servers. It has no bearing on RF
transmissions. It is assumed that you are legally allowed on the air
when you put a station on the air.

> The W8HHF station is our local repeater for the APRS, D-Star etc.

That really has no bearing on getting your station operational, other
than you might hear a digipeat coming back from the digipeater when
you send packets.

> My home station and callsign is KD8BIN.

Always a very important piece of information when asking for help. By
providing the EXACT CALLSIGN-SSID, it allows the rest of us to look
for any evidence of how your specific station may or may not be
operating.

> So, after i get the passcode, I will see if I have luck sending messages....

You might, but that would be because the message is going out to the
APRS-IS, and then gets gated back to RF and delivered to the desired
station.

There's something else going on here... It looks like your station is
on the air, and is sending packets out via RF.

I just sent your station a query, and got a response back. I sent a
message and got an ACK back, but both via APRS-IS only.

In the middle of a chat with you on APRSISCE/32 currently, but the RF
ONLY section doesn't seem to be working.

Lynn, what can be disabled to make RF messaging stop working, yet
position reports still go out over RF?
