Re: [Xastir] does CWOP filter get new DW stations?

ok, feeling dumber yet answering my own question. Is the logical answer to deploy a second instance of the APRS server SW here, take the firehose from CWOP's servers, then allow the internal clients to filter it to the region of interest? Running it on linux, a second instance running on the

Here's sort of a (dumb) question: I use javaAPRSSrvr locally to aggregate all my APRS traffic from a 144.390 digi, a weather digi and two Telpac's for Winlink, as well as Xastir. This server then establishes ONE bidirectional connection to the *.aprs.net servers. If I wanted to bring in a fe

Imagine taking that one step further... Say you have a truck with disaster recovery supplies. That truck is checked-in when it departs. An object is created for the truck and the truck's route is entered, then the object moves along that route at pre-determined speeds. Something happens and disas

I had a similar idea. Mine was a two part system; one was a field deployed unit with APRS, GPS, and RFID scanner to create objects. The second was a server elsewhere on the net to take ownership of those objects; the server would have database backing to provide more information about the object/

Hi Dave, I guess what your suggesting is a gateway between RFID and APRS, where RFID information gets injected into the APRS world. You'd need an RFID scanner that would take all the tags it sees and make an APRS object out of each. Though each object is going to have your current locatio

A bit of thinking.. This may belong in an APRS listserv but I was thinking how Xastir could be expanded and noticed a Linux RFID project on Sourcefoge - This made me wonder if we could localise situation data by linking up rfid devices to aprs by some box that translated rfid data to aprs compat
