Ooops. I may have an explanation for my problem. When I set up my 100 mile filter on the socal.aprs2.net INET interface, I used rounded LAT/LON numbers, which put the center of my filter 20 to 30 miles away from me. The stations I was missing were within 100 miles of me but maybe not the center

What we're looking at is dynamically creating the KMLs that look to the APRS-IS, connect for receive-only and snag the data directly, I think. There may also be a path to have Xastir spawn a client process to fire off GoogleEarth and act as the server for the KML seeks. I've not thought

My first thoughts on implementation for this would be some kind of scraping method maybe? I certainly wouldn't want to abuse Google's servers, but what about passing static strings with the positional as a standard http request and then somehow getting that data to display inside Xastir? There

Looking at the DB0ANF page I realized that the report is named APRS Stations using USAM as their Digi / Uplink - this appears to mean that the report shows stations that were either digi'ed OR iGated by a particular station. So it appears that I was in error to believe that DB0ANF reports

Hi Alex - I don't think so. Once a server receives the packet it will not send on the same packet if it hears it come in from a different igate or server. Imagine this: One server (we'll call it A) has 5 different igates connected to it from one area and another server (we'll call it B) has 5

I've discussed the first with them directly. They're intrigued by Xastir (and APRS in general) and see it not as a violation. Even if used in your car. All the more reason to spawn development! What would you want to scrape? I'd make the data available as a network option from within
