TT4 via KISS |
Put the TT4 into KISS mode, note the baudrate that you have it set up for.
In APRSISCE/32, click Configure / Port / Simply(KISS) / and then select COMn. Pick the COM port on the left and baud rate on the right. Click OK, restart the client (this will get fixed in a later version), and then select Enables / KISS Enabled. Stations received over RF show up in the scrolling stations list with an * beside them. Any number following the * indicates that the same packet was received multiple times (typically from one or more digis) All beacons and messages are sent over all active ports. Messages heard on the -IS whose recipient was "recently" heard "locally" on the RF are packaged into a 3rd party packet and transmitted. You can filter the map to show only those stations received on RF either Local, Direct, or All via the View / RF menu. Sending ?ARPSD or ?APRSL to your APRSIS32 callsign-SSID via APRS will send back a list of those stations heard Direct or Local respectively. Note, if you set PKTOCOM, the TT4 will send all generated position updates directly to APRSISCE/32. I also plan to support the GKRELAY method of receiving NMEA GPS data over a configurable KISS sub-channel, but it is not yet done. (This may have been done I need to check G6UIM) Gary, WG5L, would like to add: ATTENTION ALL FORMER TT3 OWNERS: YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE NULL MODEM CABLE INLINE WITH THE TT4 WHEN HOOKING IT TO A COMPUTER FOR KISS OPERATIONS! Another lesson from Gary is "When using AMODE KISS without a GPS…. DO NOT set BMODE to either KISS or TEXT when setting AMODE to KISS. Set it or keep it at GPS, otherwise one will get" a loopback of received packets back out over the RF with a new header added by the TT4. This is caused if you use "a F-F null cable that shorts pins 7 and 8 and so if one has BMODE set to either KISS or TEXT, it will repeat what it hears." |
