If you just want secure transfer of APRS data over Internet to a private APRS-IS server, you could use an encrypted tunnel without any changes to Xastir source code. See stunnel.org for one example. But if you want to encrypt the packets themselves, so they can be transferred over unencrypted connections or maybe mixed with cleartext packets, you need to get your hands dirty with Xastir source code. You'll probably also want to keep your packets from never reaching the global public APRS-IS. Anyway there is no such thing as an encrypted APRS specification. So whatever system you use, it won't work together with anything else, unless you modify the "anything else" part too. > Similarly, what would be required to add another digit to the position > accuracy that is transmitted and received? Presumably, Xastir will plot > whatever it gets as data. Xastir supports APRS base-91 compression that provides a resolution of under one meter globally. If I remember correctly, Xastir should also support the !DAO! format that provides one additional minute decimal digit to the basic resolution, yielding a resolution of at least 2 meters globally. The basic position resolution of APRS is about 20 meters. Tapio ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
[Xastir] Wx Alerts (Mac Leopard)
I noticed an oddity. I have two machines that run Xastir full-time. On one I am currently showing a Freeze alert for Suffolk County on Long Island (this is the Mac PPC Mini, running OS X 10.4.10 and Xastir v1.9.1 with Imagemagick, libProj, GeoTiff, GDAL/OGR, Shapelib, PCRE, dbfawk, map caching, rtree and libcurl. On the other machine the alert is notably absent. I'm curious why I'm not seeing the alerts (it is in the weather alert window and it is an icon on the map, just not the county highlighting. This is a Mac Intel Mini running OS X 10.5 and Xastir v1.9.2 with GPSMan, Graphicsmagick, libProj, GeoTiff, Shapelib, PCRE, dbfawk, map caching, rtree, and libcurl. (Xastir details via the "about" window.) What I see different is: Mini PPCMini Intel v1.9.1 v1.9.2 ImageMagick GraphicsMagick - GPSMan GDAL/OGR- Other things appear to be the same. I thought maybe it was due to the newer config (the Intel Mini with Leopard) not having the XBM files, but I see those are in both locations. I was watching the PPC and noticed it was loading a shapefile with name 'z_10fe06.shp' that I wasn't seeing on the Intel machine. So I searched and couldn't find that file. I found it in the Counties directory on the PPC machine. I noticed the list of shape (and other) files was a bit shorter on the Intel machine. So I copied the files over between the two. I'm wondering where they came from and why I had so many on the PPC machine that weren't on the Intel machine. With a quit and restart of Xastir I am now seeing the alert, so I am certain it is related to the missing county shape file. See the below output for more details of which files were there (not overwritten) and which had to be copied from the older machine. 73, --de Chip (N1MIE) FN41bn /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/c_16mr06.dbf not overwritten /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/c_16mr06.shp not overwritten /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/c_16mr06.shx not overwritten fz10mr06.dbf -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/fz10mr06.dbf fz10mr06.shp -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/fz10mr06.shp fz10mr06.shx -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/fz10mr06.shx /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/fz24my06.dbf not overwritten /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/fz24my06.shp not overwritten /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/fz24my06.shx not overwritten /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/hz28au04.dbf not overwritten /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/hz28au04.shp not overwritten /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/hz28au04.shx not overwritten mz10ja06.dbf -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/mz10ja06.dbf mz10ja06.shp -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/mz10ja06.shp mz10ja06.shx -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/mz10ja06.shx /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/oz15de04.dbf not overwritten /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/oz15de04.shp not overwritten /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/oz15de04.shx not overwritten ta14ja03.dbf -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/ta14ja03.dbf ta14ja03.shp -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/ta14ja03.shp ta14ja03.shx -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/ta14ja03.shx tw14ja03.dbf -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/tw14ja03.dbf tw14ja03.shp -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/tw14ja03.shp tw14ja03.shx -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/tw14ja03.shx w_28fe06.dbf -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/w_28fe06.dbf w_28fe06.shp -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/w_28fe06.shp w_28fe06.shx -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/w_28fe06.shx z_10fe06.dbf -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_10fe06.dbf z_10fe06.shp -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_10fe06.shp z_10fe06.shx -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_10fe06.shx z_12fe06.dbf -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_12fe06.dbf z_12fe06.shp -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_12fe06.shp z_12fe06.shx -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_12fe06.shx z_14fe06.dbf -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_14fe06.dbf z_14fe06.shp -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_14fe06.shp z_14fe06.shx -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_14fe06.shx z_16mr06.dbf -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_16mr06.dbf z_16mr06.shp -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_16mr06.shp z_16mr06.shx -> /usr/local/share/xastir/Counties/z_16mr06.shx ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
[Xastir] RE: State and Topical Gazetteer Download Files
I looked into the URL and the site has been changed to: http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/download_data.htm From: Chip Griffin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Xastir] get-gnis script failure I've used it before, although not recently. Not sure when it broke, but doesn't seem to work now. It says that it connects to geonames.usgs.gov and then it says HTTP request sent, but the reply is 404 not found. It has that same sequence for both http://geonames.usgs.gov/stategaz/CT_DECI.zip and for http://geonames.usgs.gov/stategaz/CT_DECI.TXT So no go on either account. I had also tried all the other New England states (CT, MA, RI, VT, NH, ME) with the same results on all. I tried it on two separate installations with the same results.
