I think it's only the voice output at the station end, for fun - not tx'd data and (although I've not got CVS update to prove it). I expect its something you turn-on rather than have to turn off. Perhaps the CBers have APRS now? you could play on there if you want to do that? missed point error

I don't want to confuse things - but would you try this to show if anything is sitting on ttyS0 (it might be something you ran earlier. From a terminal screen type this and enter.. sudo ps -aux | grep ttyS0 there should be a list - perhaps copy and paste that into a message (ignore the

Chris I didn't think packet radio was allowed on 160m for UK licence holders? (sorry OT but possibly important) Perhaps you should argue a frequency in the 5Mhz band would be a good use? Though I guess it would take a change, but perhaps the RSGB might get behind it? Dave G0CER 2008/6/23 Chris

Re: [Xastir] Xastir web interface?

I took a quick look at this today and found it produces snapshot.xpm - I had a think and decided it might be nice to CRON a conversion from xpm to gif and then cron the gif by ftp to a website regularly. However, being at work I didn't get much time to make it work - I tried making the

Thanks Tom I'll see about updating it - but probably wont be able to. I just wonder why cron isn't working - when the command line is. I've looked in the man pages for Imagemagick and cron and can't see where I'm going wrong. I'm running convert from the full path. I have read about someone

[Xastir] An idea rfid APRS?

2008-02-27 Thread Dave H
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

I've had a quick look at the archive but haven't seen any reference to OpenStreetMap - I wonder if this could be incorporated into Xastir? - sorry if its a dumb question but it seems something that would benefit both Xastir and that project ..esp if Google maps isn't playing ball. -- Dave G0CER

I'm hoping to demo Xastir at our local Hamfest in September - I thought about how to do it - the location of the hamfest is quite possibly the worst radio location in this area (worse than mine and that's saying something (for V/UHF) - so an RF feed maybe useless - I looked for an alternative..
