Hello Scott, one thing made me wonder: How is the status text "Off Duty" ect. selected? Does it do that autmatically? 73 de Juergen P.S. My first OpenTracker...
... Be aware that the latest Xastir code still translates it to APRS packets for internal processing/display, but doesn't igate the converted packets anymore....
Thank you Curt, I'm aware of this problem! Has been a long fight here in Germany to get (hopefully) all sys-ops on the "no translation" train (haven't seen ...
... The status indicators like 'off duty' and 'in service' are part of the Mic-E format, which isn't used by the OpenTracker. I'd have to double check the ...

... Right. The APRS-IS doesn't support binary data, though, so it'll actually be a separate backbone network. The protocol has been designed to accommodate...

I haven't seen the interval problem before. I'll have to see if I can duplicate it. I've had a tracker running full time for a few days testing a solar power ...
I think I found the problem. Download the new firmware and see if it does it now. Looks like it was retaining the calculated transmit interval when switching ...
Thank you for solving the transmit-timer problem! I will test today, if I get the download before leaving. (I drive nearly the same route as yesterday so I can...
Okay! I tried it today (still running) and everything works fine now! Did't have a lockup today! Will try further if it will arrise again. Thank you, Scott! 73...
Found a bug in the profile switch code. If the 'match all' option was selected, it'd sometimes fail the comparison due to a misplaced & sign. Sorry about...
The Firmware from yesterday is fine running with the "any" switch. i tested yesterday in the evening for 50 km. the new firmware from today will be tested...
Hello Scott, I just had the time to read your draft of the manual very carefully and found some errors / possible enhancements: - As you replaced Q1...

Scott: I've been curious about OpenTRAC and OpenTracker, so I joined this list a few days ago. I've built a few TinyTraks. So, if I understand correctly,...
... OpenTrac is basically APRS done right. It's not a hodgepodge of add-ons in an ASCII string protocol. It's binary, well though out, and can convey a lot...
