I'm trying to get an alert when I receive an incoming message. I have
installed the YAAC Sounds plugin. When I go to the Sounds tab to
configure, I set the Event Type= Message To, Action=Play Sound,
Parameter= (Filter set to WAVE) I choose the folder containing my
sounds, but no files show for selection. I've tried extensions of both
.WAV and .WAVE.

What do I need to do to get the files to show?

But why would WinLink be sending a login message? Shouldn't K0ION-7 be sending that to winlink, not the other way around?

Duh, I answered my own question on that part anyway... that's the challenge response from winlink to a login request.

Can someone help me verify what I'm looking at here? I think these two packets mean that WLNK-1 (WinLink) has send a "Login" message to K0ION-7 and both W7BSB-1 and WA7GMX-8 have transmit i-gated it? But why would WinLink be sending a login message? Shouldn't K0ION-7 be sending that to winlink, not the other way around?

Thanks. I'm trying to get better at figuring out the packets.

Andrew,

Thanks for the explanation.? Yes the digipeater icon had a question mark on it so it must have been the vicinity plotting.? Still discovering functionality in this feature rich program.

Thanks,

It also could be that you were seeing the digipeater station by vicinity plotting, as documented here:

This is how your station can guess at the location of a station that hasn't sent a position beacon yet. Since digipeaters generally don't move, they don't have to send their position beacon frequently, so if you had just started YAAC up, you would beacon, the digipeater would send your beacon back to you, and YAAC wouldn't know where the digipeater was, so it would make an educated guess, based on all the stations you have heard that used that digipeater as their first relay station (and, at your startup, you might be the only station relayed through that digi that you had heard), . Once the digipeater does send out a position beacon (that you hear), YAAC will use that position instead of the vicinity plotting guess.

And there are some people who operate "stealth" digipeaters that never position-beacon, but only meet their FCC-mandated identification requirements by using UITRACE path editing, so their callsign is inserted into the digipeat path.

You can tell if a digipeater is vicinity-plotted if it uses the green digipeater star icon with a red question mark superimposed on it. A question mark is not a legal symbol overlay, so YAAC uses it to identify "stealth" digipeaters until and unless they send a position report with their proper symbol code.

If you don't like vicinity plotting, you can turn it off in the YAAC expert-mode configuration dialog on the Behavior tab.

Hope that helps.

I was running an old version. I downloaded the latest version and the digipeter object is no longer showing up next to my station object.

I was running an old version.? I downloaded the latest version and the digipeter object is no longer showing up next to my station object.

The object for the digipeater that repeats my data shows on my map near my station object.? However that digipeater is miles away from my station location.? Why does it show up next to my station?

No, it's a general feature of the OpenMap-Java library that YAAC uses, so you can have the same zoom-if-you-breathe-on-the-mouse-wheel "feature" on Linux or Microsoft Windows.

However, I did some research, and the OpenMap library does have a method to disable listening to the mouse wheel. So I can make a change to conditionally disable mouse wheel listening in the maps. We'll see if that fixes the "feature”.

Thanks Andrew, that would be awesome.

WHOA! I like the feature. I use a regular mouse, not anything fancy. I just don't keep my hand on it.

I don’t want it turned off, just a checkbox where it can be disabled if needed.


Carl.

I don't know. I didn't implement the mouse wheel zoom feature, so it must be something built into the OpenMap library that YAAC uses to scale the maps.

I'll see if it is possible to disable that feature.

Subject: [yaac-users] Disable mouse wheel zooming

Hi Andrew,
Is there a way to disable using the mouse wheel for zooming?

I’m on a Mac using a mighty mouse with the touch surface, and it’s too easy to accidentally brush across it and change the zoom.

Thanks,
Carl.

1. handle repeater Object reports where the frequency is only in the

the website. Also support Allstar, Echolink, IRLP,
and Wires-II gateways in repeater Objects, and repeaters in the
10-meter band.

Working a treat here now thanks! 8 repeaters and 4 hotspots are now showing with all the details. I’m not sure the Distance field needs 3 decimal places, but not a complaint!

What does the Quality field show?

Object name and not in the free-text comment, per the errata on
the website. Also support Allstar, Echolink, IRLP,

2. properly support repeater definitions using no subtone or DCS.
3. fix auto-answer of APRS Text messages to only happen (even if
enabled) when YAAC has determined that its operator is not
there (station is unmanned).
4. fix plugin store table to properly identify all installed plugins
since the fix for circular plugins dependencies was made.
5. fix order sensitivity of unit tests.
6. fix repeater finder plugin to use above fixes for repeater Objects,
and to regenerate the repeater list when the repeater filters
are changed.
7. fix sounds plugin to recognize alternate frequency field in
repeater objects.

Uh, the latest version of what? Specifying the actual version number is much more helpful, especially since there are other websites (unauthorized by me) offering extremely old builds of YAAC, which may not be trustworthy.

Check the Help->About dialog to see what plugins (and versions thereof) are actually loaded. There is a bug in the last few builds of YAAC which incorrectly report which plugins are already installed on the table view that you use to download more plugins; this bug will be fixed when I release build#195.

Also, if you are using an older build of YAAC, some recently installed plugins may not work because the newer version of the plugin requires changes in core YAAC that the older build doesn't have. YAAC should tell you if a plugin requires a newer version of YAAC. Upgrade YAAC and see if the problem goes away.

Are you using build#193. I found I had made a typo in that build that broke text messaging, which is why build#194 immediately came out.
