Re: [Xastir] Filters?
I had the same issue (no pass-code) when trying to set up a filter a while back. I found the Tier 2 servers to be a good tool for troubleshooting because they show who is logged in simply by clicking on the applicable server at http://www.aprs2.net/ When I found myself logged in, but it said Verified = No, that clued me in that I had not entered a pass-code. They also show your filter and what software including version number you are using, which I thought was pretty cool.

Re: [Xastir] Filters?
What server(s)? m/160 should have provided a filter of 160 km (I think that's 100 miles more or less but I'm no longer positive). For the Core servers, for sure, 14580 is the correct user-defined port. What else was set? At this time, you're not connected to any of the core servers that I can see, under your callsign (KF4DRR) so more diagnosis is difficult. gerry Chris Thompson wrote: I've tried setting up some filters but was left feeling like i made a mistake in my setup. i tried m/160 (should work out to 100 miles from my location right?) in the filters box under interface > interface control > properties i set the port number to 14580 and waited. was left feeling like what i had done shut all traffic off from the igate. so i returned the default settings. running Fiesty Fawn KDE xastir v 1.8.4 from the ubuntu repo suggestions? -- Gerry Creager -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Texas Mesonet -- AATLT, Texas A&M University Cell: 979.229.5301 Office: 979.458.4020 FAX 979.862.3983 MAIL: AATLT, 3139 TAMU Physical: 1700 Research Parkway, Suite 160, College Station, TX 77843-3139 ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

All is running well now. I am committing bit-banging abuse to Gerry's server getting the state map. Also, I am running a GlobalSat BT-359 Bluetooth GPS receiver and it is feeding my location to the GPS. I am not using gpsd either. So far, so good.

I should have caught on to the fact that i didnt have a passcode set sooner, for some reason i totally over looked that one. the allow transmitting was checked and i didnt have the word filter in the filter box (although i had wondered if i needed it but quickly talked myself out of that one) i now have the port set back to 14580 and the range set to m/160 and all is well. -- -Chris ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Did you set up your interface so that you transmitted your position to the APRS-IS server? If not, it has no idea where you are and so can't tell you when there is a station within 160km of you.

Have you been running Xastir of various versions for quite some time? It might be that a very old path is in your ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf file. That might be where the /usr/share/xastir path is coming from. If you were to start from no config file at all it'd create a fresh default one for you that should work without that symlink. You could try renaming your config file to something else and restarting Xastir without the symlink in place. -- Curt, WE7U.

Let me agree wholeheartedly with what Tom just said: If Xastir is compiled with one version of libdb, then at runtime it detects that the library is a different version, it will disable map caching (refusing to use that particular library) in order to prevent crashes. It alerts you to this fact in the startup messages in the xterm you started it from. -- Curt, WE7U.
