Re: Direction finding settings don't seem to save in beacon configuration

Hi, Scott.
Thank you for finding a bug in the beacon configuration panel. It will be fixed in the next build of YAAC. I'll have to think about your other suggestions. I agree, being able to quickly edit specific DFS values (after observing the RF conditions of the remote signal at the local station) would be useful. I'll have to think of a user-convenient way of doing so.

I have specifically been reading from the APRS101 document starting on page 28 for the PHG and DFS data. I believe that I should be able to set this in a beacon settings. This data should then be displayed and calculated if I turn on View->Layers->show direction finding. I can set some data for DFS in the beacon settings, make sure to save the settings. When I beacon I do not see the data in the packet and when I go back into the settings for the beacon all the DFS options are back to turned off. It does not seem to save things. The PHG settings seem to work. [cid:[email protected]] Also a nice feature would be to have beacon button have a pull down where you could just hit the button and send what is your default beacon or chose one of the other beacons you have created or maybe a new option under message or query where a new window would open up with the PHG and DFS options and the ability to send a one time beacon with direction finding data. If anyone has experience with these features I would love to talk with you. Thanks, Scott - W2KP |
