Hi Guy, Glad to hear it's working for you and the club. The binary of APRX I downloaded is still posted and is dated January 24th. I believe it was built from sources not more than a week or so before that, so was a very up to date build when I downloaded it in late January.
I'm using an FTDI based usb to serial adapter. I've not tried either of my Prolific adapters with the Pi, but they used to freeze after about 3 days of 7x24 IGate operation on a computer running Linux. I cured that problem with the FTDI adapter. Other than handliing tasks such as loading online OSM maps , Xastir runs pretty fast on the Pi. I found that to be impressive given the lack of horsepower and the fact that Xastir is a GUI application. Xastir isn't really designed to be the best Igate - it's OK, but there are better implementations. APRX has improved. When I tried it in (I think) 2012, it was erroneously gating to RF the beacon packets sent by the IS server that are supposed to notify the IGate that stations it gated from RF to IS are also on the Internet (so the IGate doesn't try to gate messages to those stations from IS to RF). It is not doing that now.
