I am pleased to announce that after extensive beta testing by a number of APRS server sysops, javAPRSSrvr is now officially released. javAPRSSrvr is a Java-based server application designed to perform all of the functions currently offered to the APRS Internet community by APRS servers. It is extremely stable and is in use by a number of APRS server sysops. It has been successfully run on many Windows platforms, Linux platforms, Unix platforms, and Macintosh platforms. It does not do IGate functions nor does it have a GUI interface. It is designed solely as an APRS-IS server to provide a highly reliable, efficient, and clean APRS data stream to APRS-IS. This project would not have been possible without the superb suggestions and feedback that I received from the beta testers. javAPRSSrvr supports the following port types: General Client/Server access ports: Echo ports - Equivalent to APRServe port 23 No-echo ports - Equivalent to aprsD port 10152 Message-only ports - Equivalent to aprsD port 1314 (used where limited bandwidth is available) Hub interconnect ports: Hub ports - Equivalent to APRServe port 1313 (output only) Client ports: History dump ports - Equivalent to APRServe and aprsD port 10151 (output only) javAPRSSrvr is being offered free-of-charge to the amateur radio community. You can give it a try by contacting me directly at pete@ae5pl.net I will provide you with the application, a comprehensive User's Guide, and a preconfigured configuration file to help you get up and going quickly. 73, Pete Loveall AE5PL http://www.ae5pl.net mailto:pete@ae5pl.net --- You are currently subscribed to aprsnews as: lyris.aprsnews@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-aprsnews-839E@lists.tapr.org Questions regarding the SIG go to the SIG administrator: wa1lou@tapr.org From bounce-aprsnews-839@lists.tapr.org Mon May 20 13:25:15 2002 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.13) with SMTP id NAA08263 for ; Mon, 20 May 2002 13:25:12 -0500 (CDT) X-Authentication-Warning: arctic.usna.edu: bruninga owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 20 May 2002 14:07:16 -0400 (EDT) From: Bob Bruninga X-X-Sender: bruninga@arctic To: "APRS Announcements" cc: aprsnews@lists.tapr.org Subject: [aprsnews] Dead dogs on the APRS highway Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Unsubscribe: List-Software: Lyris Server version 3.0 List-Subscribe: List-Owner: X-List-Host: Tucson Amateur Packet Radio X-Message-Id: Sender: bounce-aprsnews-839@lists.tapr.org Precedence: bulk LESSONS LEARNED at Dayton about APRS: GOing to dayton with only the kenwood D700 and a GPS map display was a real eye-opener as regards deadreckoning in APRS. For years I have driven the 500 miles using APRSdos on an old laptop and the map display always shows all of us on the highway traveling just fine. You see just what you expect to see... With deadreckoning, any instant you look at the map, you see those that are supposed to be ahead of me are ahead and those that are behind, remain behind... All moving along the higway in generally the same relative positions.. this is becasue Dead reckoned positions keep moving instead of being just another dead dog on the highway... Without deadreckoning, one never has a clue where anyone is. Each time I look at the display, the same guy who is "near me" is half the time 2 to 5 miles in front of me, or 2 to 5 miles behind me, it all depends on the age of his LAST position. Like dead-dogs on the highway, these spots on the map are completely useless UNLESSS you see the spot the instant it comes in. This is why dead reckoning is so important. AND it showed me another lesson learned: 1) If you are mobile and you want the other mobiles near you to be aware of your relative position, you SHOULD set your POS RATE to 1 minute! Most of the above problem was due to good considerate operators setting their pos rate to 5 minutes... But this makes them LEAP FROG along the highway with their position being just plain 'wrong' the other 4 minutes out of 5. All mobiles such as in caravan to Dayton, should set a 1 minuite rate AND compensate by making their PATH shorter or direct. 2) Further at a 5 minute rate in the wilderness passing at 60 MPH, with no digipeaters, you may never see someone passing. Mutually, you travel more than 10 miles in 5 minutes and that is out of simplex range. So if you are outside of APRS coverage, again, you should use a 1 min rate if you hope to find other APRS loners too... 3) The good news is that the Sprouls announced an improved dead-reckoning for WinAPRS. Anyway, the GPS displays connected as map displays on the Kenwoods will never be able to dead-reckon, but having ALL distant travelers (expecting to find or QSO other mobile APRS stations) should definately set a 1 minte rate AND shorten their path to compensate... Then APRS works much better for the mobiles. And THAT was FUN! de WB4APR@amsat.org, Bob --- You are currently subscribed to aprsnews as: lyris.aprsnews@tapr.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-aprsnews-839E@lists.tapr.org Questions regarding the SIG go to the SIG administrator: wa1lou@tapr.org From bounce-aprsnews-839@lists.tapr.org Mon May 20 13:38:08 2002 Received: from lists.tapr.org (lists.tapr.org [204.17.217.24]) by tapr.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/1.13) with SMTP id NAA09341 for ; Mon, 20 May 2002 13:37:59 -0500 (CDT) X-Authentication-Warning: arctic.usna.edu: bruninga owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 20 May 2002 14:32:39 -0400 (EDT) From: Bob Bruninga X-X-Sender: bruninga@arctic To: "APRS Announcements" cc: aprsnews@lists.tapr.org Subject: [aprsnews] Voice Alert on 144.39 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Unsubscribe: List-Software: Lyris Server version 3.0 List-Subscribe: List-Owner: X-List-Host: Tucson Amateur Packet Radio X-Message-Id: Sender: bounce-aprsnews-839@lists.tapr.org Precedence: bulk APRS VOICE-ALERT: I thought everyone with a Kenwood was aware of "Voice Alert", but at the APRS PIZZA meeting, fewer than 20% raised their hands and it was obvious by monitoring the channel that most APRS mobiles are not aware of this very powerful feature:. Having a 144.39 radio in a vehicle with the audio turned down or the speaker disconnected is a waste of a perfectly good radio, ESPECIALLY since everyone KNOWS you have a radio tuned to 144.39! Thus, anytime, anywhere, anyone can key up on 144.39 and call you by voice and know that you will hear it.... if..... Of course, no one wants to listen to packets, so, instead of turning down your volume or disconnecting the speaker, just set CTCSS to "100"... Bingo, no packets. The only thing you will ever hear will be someone calling you on voice with a PL of 100... (and of course, the occassional packet of anyone else within range that is also running Voice Alert.) But this is not bad. In my county, there are about 5 of us running Voice alert. But 99% of the time we are not in simplex range and so we never hear any PL100 packets. But when we do, then we ALSO know that one of us IS nearby and on the air, and so we usually strike up a QSO on the local repeater. The one place that I thought that Voice Alert would be a real nuisance and cause me to turn my volume down too was at Dayton. I expected to hear dozens and dozens of other PL100 packets... but I only heard TWO!.. Out of the 50 to 100 APRS mobiles in Dayton, I remember only hearing 3 or four packets in the morning when I drove into the HAMVENTION and only a few more in the afterhnoon driving away... So, only hearing one or two packets every few mnuntes I did not find to be a problem at all. In fact, when I pulled over to the side of the road with an overheated engine, someone saw me (not even running APRS) and he dialed in PL100 on 144.39 and asked if I needed help. No way would he have ever found me on the oddball repeater I was tuned to at the time. THere is another GREAT advantage of running voice alert on the Handheld D7 too. that is that by setting CTCSS 100 on 144.39, you dont have to mess with the BALANCE setting. How many times have you totally missed voice operations because you forgot that your balance was set to ZERO for band A? Avoid the problem by setting CTCSS 100 and leaving the volume set to normal... Of course, only the Kenwoods can do Voice Alert easily because their TNC's are internal and they hear all packets BEFORE the CTCSS squelch, but other mobiles can do it too, if the owner is willing to tap his TNC off of the discriminator before the normal audio squelch circuit...

Fixed are: - KISS function, which was broken in v1.18. - Minor misformatting in APRS position beacon. - Font incompatibility with Kyocera Palm OS-based phone. - Grouped bulletins now display in group order. Maintenance: - Add "APO" and "APT" to valid APRS packet types. - Add foundation for next-generation map data. Given the severity of the changes to accommodate the new hardware capabilities, this release is essentially a beta of what is planned to become v2.0. There are a couple of limitations to be aware of. The HandEra 330 hi-res screen support is under construction and may not behave itself in many circumstances. I hope that the gremlins will be mostly nailed by the next interim release. One thing, though - maps on the hi-res grayscale screen look *great*, and for this and several other reasons I recommend this platform for those who don't feel the need to have a color display. Support for maps on external memory cards works generally well, but there is some manner of system limitation which causes the indexing system to crash if there are more than 25 or 30 maps. Try not to fill-up your map cards right away and you should stay out of trouble until I find the bug. At the moment there is no support for inserting or removing a memory card while the program is running - you must have the card inserted before starting pocketAPRS. It is hoped that card insertion and removal detection will be added in the next release. Development versions of the program containing most of the new features have been running reliably for several weeks. The HandEra screen features are the weakest area at the moment.

With all the new APRS PIC decoders, HAM-HUDS, and potential for NEW APRS projects and radios and ever better GPS maps, WE NEED THIS STANDARD! Then our GARMIN maps will really show the APRS picture!

I strongly recommend that you only run it on a laptop connected to a short range TNC/Radio (your D7 is perfect) so that you can enter sample DTMF strings on the laptop's keyboard to simnulate DTMF entries and then you can watch on your Base-Station APRS system the resulting packet conversions... This program is extremely experimental and only an ALPHA test if any.
