I have recently seen a problem with UI-NWS. I downloaded the new shapefiles and UI-NWS won't except them...So, I put the older shapfiles in the folder. They...
Someone said to check my system clock. They had a good idea. The thinking was that my system clock was wrong and that the time stamps on the nws alerts were...
I would be glad to make a few for you if you need them for your area. Of course, I use UI-View and don't know if these maps will work with other APRs software....
I read on another group that fill in digipeaters can either use a house symbol or a green star with a 1 as a overlay. It was suggested that if you use a house...
That was a good idea to check that. Have you looked at SETUP> MISCELLANEOUS in uiview and checked the expire time and object interval times? Mine is set to...
In my opinion its best to leave your home station a house icon. Being a fill-in digi, meaning your station responds to WIDE1-1, is just a given if your in a...
I agree about the symbol, but for the setup, my suggestion would be to use UIDIGI (as opposed to MYALIAS) where available so the home stations do callsign...
Thats true William, I forgot to mention that. I'm not sure the MFJ tnc's have a UIDIGI command do they? Its been awhile since I used the default software in...
Hi, I have also posted this over on the UI-View forum, but so far no response. Wondered if anyone has encountered this? I suspect that any type of digi...
Hello Alan, Good to see your question on the list here. In the DIGI ROUTE setup, you double click the 1= and that brings it down for you to type something in...
If you have a dual radio sound card interface (Of course one radio will be on 2 mtrs and the other will be on HF aprs),how would we need to setup UIView? The...
Can someone tell me where I can find some useful information on the proper use of keyboard to keyboard "talk" with APRS? In other words, we used things like...
Hi Jeff, Thanks to KB4YTM I've been playing around with APRS for a little while now. I don't think I've come across any specific rules to go by other than the...
Jeff......I just re-read my post. None of my ramblings were directed at you by the way!!! I think that we're probably in like mind in the fact that we wish a...
No problem Chris. I understand what you're saying. I enjoyed packet, but all the nodes around here were changed to APRS digi's or taken off the air. I enjoy...
Changes at work have kept me from hardly checking my email lately much less posting on the group here, but hopefully things are calming down a little bit now...
Is there a symbol that represents APRS other than the text "APRS"? I'm having some new QSLs made and would like to have an APRS symbol on them. Tnx for any...
I don't know how many people have heard of this, but I thought some of you might be interested. For those of you that are familiar with the Live Linux CDs,...
It's my understanding that a mobile beacon station operating in unfamiliar territory should set their APRS path equal to "WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1" except in very...
Hello Scott, Yes that is the beauty of using the same default mobile path nationwide. When you travel to an area you are unfamiliar with, you dont have to...
Is there some way that when a digipeater (maybe in Digi_Ned <http://www.qsl.net/digi_ned/> ?) sees a station that is using an obsolete path that it will...
Hello Scott, Yes that is the beauty of using the same default mobile path nationwide. When you travel to an area you are unfamiliar with, you dont have to...
Hello Jacob, I havent found a way for Digi_ned or any other program to do this automagically. The best that I have seen for letting stations know their...
... Otherwise translated. "It's been this way for years and I honestly don't remember how I got it this far, so why mess with it now? Fixing it requires...
I have never used Xastir in Windows, but I have run it many times in Linux. It is a great program. It did take a little getting used to (but then I am new to...
I've got it up and running now at my new job. It was very easy to get going but, just make sure you either have allot of time or a high speed connection when...
