I GATING and DIGI PETING

Wed, 27 Feb 2019 01:58:26 +0000

I would like to I GATE to RF certain Objects in my coverage zone that comes from the APRS feed. I would also like to CROSS BAND digi from 1200 baud to UHF 9600 baud and visa versa .. is that possible?

Direct p2p messaging

Sat, 23 Feb 2019 23:53:07 +0000

I have not been on this site for a long time.
I am a long time user of APRSIS32. In the past I used Winlink and very much miss the direct messaging, station to station. In an emergency system on a simplex frequency, it would be much faster to direct message a station. As in any emergency situation, time is of the essence. Is there any plans to implement this protocol? Thank you everyone.

Internet Feed for APRS Plots All Over the Country

Fri, 18 Jan 2019 13:41:51 +0000

I twice successfully achieved the Internet feed of APRS plots all over the country but I don't know what the settings were that achieved that result. I lost that result on the next startup. Can someone tell me what the settings are to plot the Internet feed of APRS plots and make those settings permanent? (Email: ki5ss[at]yahoo[dot]com).

tracks

Thu, 10 Jan 2019 04:30:37 +0000

I'm looking for the feature in the software that allows me to go back and see the telemetry information of an individual track, specifically the distance of a track from start point to end. I've been able to find how to load old tracks, the decay and the likes but where do I find how to see the distance traveled.

I'd like to be able to be able to check the telemetry information at the individual points along the track as well as be able to see specifically the Distance traveled; being able to see the start and end time as well as the travel time would be even more convenient.

Where have I not looked? what am I not seeing?

nickname for APRS objects

I was surprised that this option doesn't show up in the object menu.

Failing to see D700 radio

Sun, 01 Apr 2018 20:10:57 +0000

OK been trying to get this working now for some time.

Have used another HAMs Laptop with thier APRSIS32, with my KenWood D700 and my USB to RS232 cable and all worked.

Using any of my PCs/Laptops will not work. Have some error codes :

Port(KWD700Kiss):2018-04-01T19:54:28.798 Sent[77]:b‘`@`b@bd@c<03 F0>@195428h5202.47N/00106.39EyAPRS-IS for Win32

Tells me it is asking the radio to send a command but getting noting in return or wrong thing. Not sure how to correct

On just internet use I see stations popping up, not been able to contact any but they do pop up. With radio nothing happens, all goes blank. No communication at all.

Have tried using the KISS, simply(KISS) and D700Kiss modes. Have checked I am using the correct USB port. Cable checked with another laptop and all OK. Have updated drivers.

any ideas please. Not sure what you need to know so please ask if I have left any information out and if so how to make sure I can find said info and send please

Many thanks for any help you can give M0VLK

Send Waypoints & GPS to Mapping Software

Wed, 15 Nov 2017 05:36:10 +0000

I have been trying to find a simpler way to plot a route on my mapping software (Delorme Street Atlas) to a station on APRS. As of yet, I haven't found anything much short of copying GPS coordinates and searching for them in the mapping software, and then plotting a route. Either that, or eye-balling the rough area.

But I have just learned that the Kenwood TH-D7 and other Kenwood radios have the ability to send waypoints (& and GPS information) to garmin devices. And those devices can then make routes to the received stations. I saw this in a video www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=yxK1O4duO4s, and also on this site www(dot)hulleng(dot)karoo(dot)net/g0vrm/content/aprs/garmin(dot)htm

It looks like the raw data heading to the Garmin looks like this.
$GPWPL,5346.17,N,00030.15,W,M1BLR *5C
$GPWPL,5342.91,N,00027.05,W,N TOWE*36
$GPWPL,5344.03,N,00025.68,W,G0VRM*6B

So this is what I want for Christmas! A way to take the stations that APRSIS/32 is receiving and forward them, along with my personal GPS position data, to my mapping software. This way I can plot routes to the waypoints.

Local News Feeds RSS

Sun, 12 Mar 2017 08:36:47 +0000

Would be great to have a source of local area news on the display disassociated with APRS function so that those monitoring via APRSIS32 can place OBJECTS on the map as information comes in example; Major accident blocking Motorway, Radiological incident etc etc…

Addition to your Multi-Track View

Sat, 28 Jan 2017 06:34:40 +0000

When I switch to multi-track view, I'd love to see the last reported speed of the person I'm following. Similar to how I see me own speed when I'm following myself.

Easily copy GPS coordinates to clipboard

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 05:24:17 +0000

First let me say I love APRSISCE! I've checked out a number of different ones out there, and this is hands down the best and most intuitive one that I've seen. It will remain my favorite APRS software.

Now to the feature request. I'm looking for a quick and easy way to copy GPS coordinates to the clipboard. I do this so that I can then paste them into Street Atlas. Either for making a point of interest, or to plan a route to the address/coordinates.

The fastest way I've seen thus far, and correct me if I'm wrong, is to: click on a station>RemRF>CTRL+C>Paste the info into a text document>Select the GPS coordinates>CTRL+C again>And then Paste into the search of my navigation software.

It works, but an option for copy GPS to clipboard would make connecting my navigation software to APRSISCE much easier!

Again, thanks for the AMAZING software, I'm so glad I stumbled across it.

High Contrast/Night Viewing

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 04:57:37 +0000

I have used Delorme Street Atlas on my Toughbook in my SUV for a long time, and one of the features that I had at first wrote off as silly, I discovered was very useful, and I use it regularly now. That feature was what Delorme calls High Contrast Mode.

When you enabled, it turns the background of all the maps to black, instead of white. And it is very useful for night time driving, when you don't want a white screen shining in your eyes.

I imagine from a programmer's perspective this is a real nightmare since I gather the maps are downloaded pictures, and altering them would be a pain in the neck. Perhaps though it could be done in rendering? Some kind of color substitution?

Anyways, I joined the wikidot to throw this request out there.

Message paths

Mon, 03 Oct 2016 14:02:31 +0000

Good Morning,
I am deeply involved with emergency communications. I have been in packet radio and aprs for many years. I was using uiview for that time. There is one thing I miss and that is not being able to enter a direct path or no path at all to a close station. If a person can send a message direct and not have to go through the digi's , it cuts down on traffic and messages are a lot quicker. Thank you for all you folks do. This is a great program.

CHanging to Development Verision

Sat, 04 Jun 2016 07:39:34 +0000

I'm lost. There is no tag called "TagName". You reference your/my TagName , no tag of my call sign (the only your tag I could think of) exist. Can't even find an ovious tag with a field value of '0' to change to a "1".

Any help would be good?

Map tiles

Is the place to download map tiles, down to street level, in a zip file by county, state or region.

Custom Symbol Table For Duchifat-1 CubeSat

Mon, 01 Jun 2015 18:53:21 +0000

Lynn-

Instead of using call sign for someone's identity to verify QSL (that would just be too easy), they are assigning custom Symbol Tables and Symbol Codes when you register.

I can understand not being able to assign them in the GUI, but when I try to change Symbol Table from / to ! in the XML config (this is what I have been assigned), APRSIS32 changes it back to "/". Can you make a version of APRSIS32 that will accept other charters for Symbol Table except "/" and "\"

You can get more info from the website here:

The Herzliya Science Center is inviting stations with the ability to
send compressed APRS packets to take part in testing the Duchifat-1
CubeSat, launched almost 1 year ago by high school students in
Israel. The satellite will collect packets worldwide and downlink
them from time to time over the Herzliya Science Center's ground
station.

Participants must register in advance at
(can't include link due to low Karama) to have their
packets identified on the map.

Received packets will be displayed on a map on the Science Center's
website, and QSL cards will be sent via the bureau. The Duchifat-1
sponsors say there is no way they can recognize packets from
unregistered stations "because the packet is limited to 14
characters at the satellite, so we assign two unique characters to
every registered station to enable us to identify them."

The uplink is 435.220 MHz, the downlink is 145.980 MHz. The
satellite's beacon call sign is 4X4HSL.

Radar

what are the chances of ever getting a real time radar overlay?? possibly by using .KML files or something……….

APRS - GEIGER INTERFACE

Tue, 22 Apr 2014 05:31:53 +0000

Has anyone a simple way to get a (CPM) counts per minute, from a geiger counter into an TM-D710, or a tiny track 3 and post as APRS Radiation count, as well as position report. Tnx, Ric, VE7CUP

Track Tails

Sat, 15 Feb 2014 00:18:14 +0000

I think the summary has said it all.. I just started using this software yesterday, and really like it so far. Hard to get all features a person would like in one software package..

Printing

Tue, 26 Mar 2013 23:03:10 +0000

I am setting up a station at our EOC. Is there anyway to print out messages
sent to that station (like on a line printer) or do we have to connect via
TCP/IP and filter out the message logs somehow? I think this would be
a nice addition esp. for those of us who can't be attending a screen all the
time. Anyway, APRSIS is wonderful software!

Multiple Settings Profiles

Sat, 26 Jan 2013 04:55:50 +0000

Lynn,

I was contemplating changing several of my settings the other day (for mobile ops from a sailboat), and I realized several things that I might manually want to change (SSID, map tile set, APRS icon, path, etc.) on a recurring basis. I then thought about the paradigm that the Kenwood Radios (D700, D710) utilize with their Programmable Memories (PMs)

My idea would be for APRSISCE/32 to employ the concept of "profiles". Using this concept, the operator could set, save, and recall groups of settings. These "profiles" could be named for easy recall, and be implemented by merely managing xml configuration file(s) with a little bit of program logic. In fact, I'm doing this now on my WinMo device with a scripting language. I call a script from a shortcut which renames/copies a certain copies of the setup xml files, and then calls the program. But, it would be more elegant if the program handled profile management internally.

Anyway, I thought I would pass this along as a suggestion if you deem it worthy for your next upgrade.
