Could this be used to gate NWS weather warnings (Tornado, Severe thunderstorms) from the IS to local RF? I.e. gate any object marked ILNTOR for instance to RF, preferably with just one hop. There used

Thanks Lynn. I will have to play with !shrieks! at my next public service event. The marathon I just worked is run pretty much on an airbase, so not a lot of extraneous traffic on the display, but the

Pardon my ignorance, but my search-fu has been weak in this area. Can someone explain (or point me to the appropriate web site) just what exactly a shriek is and how it is used? Thanks Randy KAØAZS

Thanks for the reply. I've never messed with filters much, so I'm not sure I have this. If I read the APRS-IS filters wiki-dot page correctly (http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/aprs-is-filters), then in the

Many moons ago, (back when I was using APRS DOS and the TM-D700 was the new kid on the block and dinosaurs roamed the earth) there was some software or functionality of one of the clients that took lo

And now that the weather has passed, I am seeing a bunch of various warnings outside my immediate area on my home station. Maybe it's a local NWS feed thing? I haven't changed any settings in the clie

Has anyone been having issues with receiving NWS warning data from the IS lately? The last couple of days have been active with multiple warnings (SW Ohio) and neither my home station or the computer

Thanks for all of the replies. Another ham in the group did one of the smaller routes in Mapmyride and it looks a lot better and he will build the rest of the routes. Looks like I need to put more way

I am attempting to build a route overlay for use at Net Control for an upcoming Bike MS event. I built the route and exported it as a .gpx file using Garmin's BaseCamp software. When I upload it to AP

I see that Lynn has already addressed that this would be an option when he gets a Round Tuit, but I'd like to add my vote for a Track Up display _option_ in the future. I was taught as a Scout and in

I just checked in with someone working with KD8ILC at an event. who will verify there is no problem. APRS IS worked as advertized, popping up a separate window zoomed in on the position and an alert m

Lynn, I'm really liking the new Scroll controls and the Path display features. I've got my scroll to display only RF and show the Digi. I've already found out a few things about the local area I hadn'

After some thought, I think I need to add to the last paragraph: "The important thing here IMHO, is to let folks get information that useful to them in a format that works for them in their situation.

I think this preference is based background an experience. I understand Bob "came up" through naval combat display systems. My background is USAF intel and targeting, including aircrew survival school

Thanks for asking this question. Got me to do some playing around. I was able to test my IS to RF from the home station (IC-2000H and MFJ-1270C running APRSIS with an internet feed) to my new D72 by g

Late to the party as usual, but wanted to add my .02 for the ability to display data in a tabular format as an option. I especially liked Randy's write up and explanation. As a Net Control the ability

Good report Bob! Fits in with my experiences using APRSIS to support an MS ride, but also gave me some ideas for next year, although our manning typically does not allow for a dedicated APRS user. I w

Bob's experience pretty here much follows mine from the past 10 years of using APRS to support events such as MS-150s and Triathlons. The route overlay would primarily be of use to Net Control. Most u

Having just come off a weekend of being net control for a 2 day MS Bike ride, I'd really like to be able to overlay the course(s) on the maps (Used to do it with APRS DOS, but it was VERY time consumi
