Greetings, all.
Over the last few weeks, you may have gotten an email asking you to re-verify your subscription to this or other lists. This is a legit email and if you want to remain active, you should verify that it is really you and not a bogus account. This is one of Groups.io’s ways at taking out SPAM. They were apparently unwittingly used as a spam relay, so now they have to ensure all the spammer accounts on are closed. However, verify the email sender's address and the link they are asking you to use to ensure it is really from them and not from more spammers. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks. I had no idea. More money for Oracle customizing builds for so many companies?

As such, it may make a difference in resolving a YAAC bug, though the Java release number and the operating system generally have more influence in causing platform-specific bugs.

I’ve got the repeaterfinder plugin installed, v0.15 (as listed in the terminal on startup), but the installed plugins dialog keeps insisting it’s v0.1 and asking to upgrade it.

Note that Bob's spec says that the frequency must follow the symbol code 'r' in the format "146.950MHz", followed by a whitespace and then the T value. Because these objects don't gave the correctly formatted frequency as the first part of the free-text comment, they won't work on a Kenwood nor on YAAC.

Ok, the local digi is broadcasting the following

"VK1RGI-1>APDW15:;146.90 ? *111111z3523.10S/14848.80ErT091 -060 2mRPT”

which as far as I can see is right?

What it is showing on the map are a heap of stations, none of which are repeaters. ?There is nothing showing in the table though.

Any ideas?

The Kenwood radios are very picky about the format.

On a related note, none of the repeaters in this area show up on the repeater finder plugin even though nearly all have objects being displayed.  Can you point me to a reasonable document on what format the object should be so they appear?

YAAC can handle a very large APRS-IS feed if your computer is fast enough and allocates enough heap to the Java heap (at least a gigabyte). I routinely test it with the unfiltered feed on port 10152, which is the entire planet. So you could use a large radius on a r/lat/lon/range filter for your APRS-IS connection to get more stations. Pick a center point that's around a moderately large city (not so large as to have zoning ordinances preventing amateur repeater towers) and see what you find.

Loaded the repeater finder plug in and set it to Manual Tuning with several of he categories (2m, 70cm, DStar, etc) selected and then View > Nearby Repeaters and didn't come up with any listing.  I'm concluding it's because there are no repeaters in my area with APRS Beacons. Can someone give me some coordinates I can plug in to see it function?

URGENT! next build#194 of YAAC, created 2024-Jan-21

#2236

Greetings, all.

If you upgraded to build#193, please upgrade immediately to build #194. I introduced a stupid typo that breaks being able to send any APRS text messages or local objects, and now have it fixed, along with more testing to avoid such bugs in the future.

----------------------------------------------------------
next beta build#194 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2024-Jan-21

downloadable from 
               or 

changes and updates include:
1. fix stupid typo introduced in previous build that breaks
    APRS text message transmitting.
2. add more unit tests to catch recurrences of the above issue.
3. try to prevent hangs in marineports plugin unit tests.

Well, now I have a very red face. I launched YAAC 1.0-beta193(20-Jan-2024) to collect the requested data and now it’s coming up and looks good. In trying to solve my own issues today I did reload Java this is now what I have;

logdir % java -version
openjdk version "16.0.1" 2021-04-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK-16.0.1+9 (build 16.0.1+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK-16.0.1+9 (build 16.0.1+9, mixed mode, sharing)
logdir %?

But something is niggling at my brain saying this doesn’t seem right, what say you?

My only worry would be whether it’s the aarch64 (Arm) version or the x64 version. I can’t seen an ARM release for v16 of the JDK on the ?website. ?It looks like they only started with the ARM builds as of v17. ?If that’s the case then you’re running it under Rosetta 2 (x64 emulation), which would slow it down.

I would uninstall the v16 jdk and install the v17 aarch64 version. ?I’d stay away from the v21-LTS for the moment, there seem to be some breaking changes in that version.
