Hi Erwin, I guess I'm not surprised that SMS might be a problem, given the gateway is in the US (so international messaging could be a factor), but email should work. You do not need to use an alias f

The D74 should show up as a COM port under Windows once it's paired via Bluetooth. I've used it that way on Winlink (Winlink Express), and it should work with APRS as well. You might have to put it in

How big is the message, and what sort of message "inbox" does the person on the other end have? With the use of APRS, I am presuming it's pretty short (something a bit less phone SMS length). If so, a

Last time I used APRSCE on my Windows 5 mobile phone with the TH-D74, I used the phone's internal GPS for location. Is that an option? Unfortunately its GPS eats the battery life, so had to keep it pl

Yeah, "relentless" doesn't do it justice. I recently picked up one of the GNSS pucks, and it's deafness makes my old Garmin GPS-III look positively magical. It would only get a solid lock if positione

Ok, that's kind of what I was thinking. I also understood that Firenet is Read-only from the APRS Client perspective, yes? And CWOP is essentially Write-only? Interesting. Thanks! Greg KO6TH Lynn Deff

How is "CWOP" compared to / separate from "Firenet"? I get my random Wx data from there. Firenet.us, port 14580. Greg KO6TH KD7YZ Bob wrote:

I would think creating an object at that point would be best. But there's no way to refresh it down the road (pun half intended), so you'd have to hope it got to the APRS-IS, and go spelunking from th

Hi Mark, To be honest, the brain cells (such as they were) that were involved in installing software on Windows Mobile have long since been archived That said, I don't remember needing to use the teth

I believe 0x1b is the "ESC" key. Control-[ also generates the same code on some keyboards, so perhaps it's a problem with fat-fingers. Greg KO6TH Lynn Deffenbaugh wrote:

Hi James, So, only partly. The modes I was referring to were "traditional" packet radio, not APRS. APRS was certainly crafted without regards to the OSI model's 7 layer Cake, but in spite of that it's

Yep. MFJ-1278T in use here. Seems a waste to run it in KISS-1200 mode, given it's huge mailbox and added 2400bps modem, but such is progress... Greg KO6TH Brian Webster via groups.io wrote:

For what it's worth, I run APRSIS32 on a Linux system under Wine, and I have not seen this behavior. The only "odd" thing is that the first start-up after boot creates a small Wine window off to the s

Thanks, Lynn. The version of "Windows" here is an older copy of OpenSuSE Linux, with APRSIS32 running under Wine. :) If this is somewhere on your possible improvements list, that's all I can ask. Agai

Hi Lynn, So I've noticed recently that I'm getting an occasional Bulletin message sent out by someone (KM6HBH) who's running a net a little ways away. Totally legit, nice to know; not complaining abou

If you have a passcode for other APRS software to access (send to) the APRS-IS, it is the same for APRSISCE/32. Greg KO6TH Steve wrote:

Hi Mark, By some miracle, my iPAQ still fires up. The version of APRSISCE on it is dated 2013/10.29 15:15. That might not be the latest that will run on it, but it's at least one that does. To your ot

Hi Mark, I doubt any version of the APRSISCE software would run on this model. I ran it many years ago on an iPaq HW6945, but it used the Windows Mobile 5 operating system, which I think was the first

Hi Lynn, So, to clarify, this only relates to the internally-managed tile storage, and is independent of where those tiles come from. Right? I do use different map data sources, for different kinds of
