I believe if it is heard by the TNC at all (doesn't have to be
first?) the flag gets set.  Xastir treats RF-heard stations as a
higher priority than INET-heard stations for this, so if both flags
are set I think it assumes it's RF.


Excellent!  That makes sense.




But when I bring up another Xastir on another machine
that is Internet-only I don't see a whole lot of sites that
my TNC Xastir sees (all within my 100 mile filter).  Are
the IGate servers broken?  Or do they hide some of the
digipeaters?  Can't be an Xastir problem can it?  ;-)


You might have some filtering turned on in your INET interface(s).


I have a filter on the INET interface set to limit stations
to within 100 miles.



You might not have global igating and per-interface igating turned
on.


I have both set.


You might not have a passcode entered on the per-interface
properties dialog.


Yes, got one of those.

I watched the "View->Incoming Data" window and saw
my Xastir igate packets from the TNC to socal.aprs2.net
but the data never showed up on socal.aprs2.net, as
viewed in my other Xastir with INET only.

My problem is that there were quite a few stations that
showed up in my xastir with a TNC & INET that did
not show up in my xastir with only an INET interface,
some of them very important digipeaters.  I was trying
to igate them to socal.aprs2.net.  All the interface
filters were set to 100 miles and centered on the same
location.  All the missing stations were well within 100 miles.

I would expect that if the socal.aprs2.net server were
working correctly then both of my machines would show the
same objects.  But with maybe 20% of objects consistently
missing from the INET-only machine over a period of 2 days?
I think something's broken.  Am I missing something?

With these missing objects, my TNC machine was not hearing
them directly, it was hearing them through digipeaters.  These
missing machines should not be missing from the server.

Thanks very much for any sanity you can offer,
Craig

The tool mentioned by VE7MKF is a better iGate 'test' than Findu.  
However if you know you are iGating someone (or think you are) you can 
look them up in findu and see their raw data.  Just change the 
callsign to the one that you are interested in...  Looking at Findu's 
raw data is a good way to force yourself to learn how to read raw APRS 
packets ;)

I'm also thinking that Findu is tweaked or at least the data is stale 
right now.  I went out and blasted a packet from my truck to my iGate 
and Findu does not report it either via its raw or map page.  However 
if I look at the www.db0anf.de page for my iGate I can see that it saw 
my iGate gating my truck very recently.   Hmmm, anybody have any idea 
why Findu is stale (or why my brain is on vacation)? ;)

So it was just my supposition that Findu was current, and nothing that I 
was doing wrong.
Way cool. Since the RF pollution is so high here, I am trying to lower 
it some to that low power stations can be heard, or at least stand a 
chance. As it has been, there was not much chance for the low power 
stations in this area getting heard. My hope is that once heard and 
gated here, then the need to repeatedly be digipeated will be lowered.

OK. Thanks all. I guess I am IGating. Just not very many stations are 
using us. Not sure at this point what I need to do. Seems that most 
stations are still digi'd to up north to Albuquerque, which sure is

Check that you have a passcode entered on the particular interface

proper direction(s) on that same dialog PLUS check the same sorts of

I believe if it is heard by the TNC at all (doesn't have to be
first?) the flag gets set.  Xastir treats RF-heard stations as a
higher priority than INET-heard stations for this, so if both flags
are set I think it assumes it's RF.

You might have some filtering turned on in your INET interface(s).

You might not have global igating and per-interface igating turned
on.

You might not have a passcode entered on the per-interface
properties dialog.

Check that you have a passcode entered on the particular interface
that connects to the INET.  Check that you've got gating set in the
proper direction(s) on that same dialog PLUS check the same sorts of
things in the global settings on the File->Configure->Defaults
dialog.

Re: [Xastir] GraphicsMagick (aka.. Too hot in Alabama)

[Richard Polivka, N6NKO]

Out of curiosity, was the GM precompiled and if so what package was it 
from?


This is for the good of the group.

You may need to reconfigure/recompille GM and make sure it has PNG
support.

You may have to compile IM from scratch and add the format back in.

When I need that sort of thing I just Xastir save the snapshot in
it's normal place, then make a symlink to it from the htdocs
directory.  Then the web server can find it.  You may also have to
change a setting in your web server and restart it so that it can
follow symlinks.

Take a look at the UpdateTime() function in main.c.

Yea, it's actually keyed to population, but the latest GNIS files
are missing that column as I recall.  That actual population
switching points are hard-coded in Xastir.

It's been talked about.  Gerry Creager did some asking of the Google
guys and they said something to the effect of:  "Yes, please use
it!".

Just need a developer with a bit of free time and the desire to look
into it.

Hard-coded in the C-code.

You can also do this:

(xastir 2>&1) | tee xastir_error.log

Which will pipe STDERR and STDOUT to the screen and to a file.

Those are BASH or BOURNE redirects for STDERR to STDOUT, then of
course piping STDOUT to a file or to NULL.  Run the first in a
subshell () and you should get everything redirected to STDOUT.

The TAMU system for mailing lists isn't technically Gerry's. The University
hosts a LISTSERV server that apparently is open to anyone. I recall years
ago there was a specific policy about who was allowed to have a list on it,
but I can't see that anywhere except one place that says the primary list
owner's email should be linked to the official university email account
(which is no problem for Gerry.)

http://listserv.tamu.edu/

This LISTSERV hosts thousands of lists and would not go down for any length
of time without immediate action.

If we move it to a server that's also used for lots of other lists, it
is more like to get problems noticed/resolved in a more timely manner. 
My own server is down for no more than a few minutes a year (because it

is considered critical), and I'd guess it is the least available of the
three I mentioned.
