Re: Beacon and Status message timing

Hi Andrew

?

Maybe I have some settings wrong.? On the digipeat tab I have WIDE2-2 checked in aliases for digipeating and WIDE2-2 as selected digipeat path.? Under Beacon I have WIDE2-2 as selected digipeat path and the same thing under the Status tab.? Under the Ports tab I have WIDE 2-2? enable checked.? Do these settings sound right or do I have to change something?? I think WIDE2-2 is the best digipeat path to use.

No, my concern is that your beacon was using the proportional pathing of

? -- direct --

? WIDE1-1,

? WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1

which, if your nearest I-gate still required a digipeat hop, would cause all the -- direct -- (no digpeat aliases)? beacon packets to not make it to the I-gate.

?

Similarly, if there are no WIDE1-1 fill-in digis, the packets could have been dropped if the local WIDE2 digis wouldn't also accept WIDE1.

That's an interesting observation. What are the digipeater specifications for your beacon versus your status? If you can't reach an I-gate without being digipeated, then beacon transmissions without sufficient digipeat aliases (such as WIDE2-2) might not ever get digipeated, whereas if your status only uses WIDE2-2, it would be digipeated all the time.

Re: Sending Winlink messages

 

Can you send your AX25rcvd*.csv file from when you tried to link? Apparently, the Winlink website is not quite accurate about the details of the login message format. I would like to see exactly what packet format you received.

When I try to send an email via Winlink using the Message -> Send E-Mail function, it seems like the LOGIN feature isn't working.

I see my station sending LOGIN to WLNK-1, and a response from WLNK-1 saying Login [246]: but YAAC isn't responding to that request.

Thoughts?

Not sure the full functions are there.? Winlink does require?a password.? Where can we enter such???

Re: java heap error message on rasp pi 3 when trying to download maps

 

Hmmm... indeed, you haven't made much progress on the download.

Can you replicate this and then after it hangs for more than 10 minutes (or if it times out by them), send me the YAAC.out file from your YAAC log directory? The reason I say to wait 10 minutes is for standard TCP/IP timeout to occur, in case that is the cause, so either way I get an accurate error message.

The other question is: what exact date and time did you do this? I was upgrading my server around when you sent the original email. So were you in the middle of a download when I shut the server down for upgrade? I always check before I reboot the system, but it doesn't mean you didn't slip in between my check and when the shutdown script turns off networking.

Hi Andrew

?

My setup is very simple.? I have one beacon that I keep the default name for (default).? The position is manually entered (no gps).? Beacon type is Position.? I have free text.? The initial rate is 60, decay ratio 2 and slow repeat rate 1800.? The selected digipeat paths in proportional path order are WIDE2-1 first and WIDE2-2 second, so I assume WIDE2-1 would be the first priority followed by WIDE2-2.? (Now that I think of it, should this only be WIDE2-2?)? The status beacon is set up the same way with WIDE2-1 in the first position followed by WIDE2-2.? The inital repeat rate is 60, decay ratio 2 and stable repeat rate 1500.

?

There is not a lot of radio traffic in my area.? There are very few and I am not using time slotting.? I guess I’ll try using WIDE2-2 for both beacons and see if it makes any difference.

Hi, Joseph.

?

That's very strange behavior of the I-gates in your area, keeping your status messages and discarding your positions. What exactly are the settings for your position beacon? Mic-E or standard or compressed text position format? Do you have a free-text comment appended to the beacon? What are the initial and slow rates for your beacon and your status? How many different beacons do you have (only the default one, or additional ones)?

?

The other question is, how many transmit-only beacons are in your area (as in, jamming your position packets)? Are you using time-slotting (not recommended unless you're on a non-standard frequency and your time slots are coordinated with all other stations on the frequency)?

In my configuration I have set the beacon message with a slow repeat rate of 900 seconds and the status message with 1500.? I also monitor aprs.fi and findu.com to see how both are being received.??

Re: java heap error message on rasp pi 3 when trying to download maps

 

Are you trying to download maps, or import them from a .pbf file? What is the exact text of the error message? Copy-and-paste, please.

A Raspberry Pi is short on main memory by about an order of magnitude to be able to import a raw OpenStreetMap vector file. Adding swap space won't help; you'll just burn up your swap drive and melt the CPU. The importer logic needs at least 2 gigabytes of real heap memory to be able to handle an OpenStreetMap .pbf file of any significant size. You need to get the pre-imported files I make available on my website with the File->OpenStreetMap->Download Pre-Imported Tiles menu choice.

If you were downloading pre-imported tile files, how many of them were you importing? i.e., how many miles/kilometers of radius were you using? If you have a very fast Internet connection, it is theoretically possible for you to overload the Java virtual machine by opening the next tile file faster than the Java garbage collector can clean up after downloading the previous file.

Let me know what further information you have on the problem.
