Hi Richard,

I have a question about YAAC.? Can you get it to output a file (preferably?CSV) that contains callsign, time. latitude, longitude for each RF packet received?? It appears that aprsisce/32 can't do that.

Greetings.

YAAC isn't presently set up for precisely what you are doing. It does have the following options, none of which seems to exactly match your needs, but maybe one is close enough, or will provide you with some ideas.

1. You can enable logging of received packets (transmit packets are always logged for regulatory reasons) and choose CSV format. However, that saves the raw packet format, so you would have to decode it yourself.

2. If you install the sounds and event logger plugins, you can specify that certain stations be explicitly tracked, and then ask that TRACKED_STATION events be logged to a CSV file. Note you don't have to turn on any sounds to do this; it's just that the sounds plugin is the only code that generates TRACKED_STATION events. Also, note that TRACKED_STATION events require that the station be moving; it will not output another record for a given station until that station's position changes, regardless of how many duplicate position records it gets for the tracked station.

3. The sample plugin generates a plain-text log of every station position report only as a distance and bearing from your station, but only when running YAAC in -nogui mode.

4. You could modify the sample plugin to use CSV format with lat/lon instead of distance/bearng and not check for the -nogui option.

Hope this helps.

Andrew,

Thank you for the suggestions, especially about the?sample plug-in.? I have installed YAAC?under Ubuntu 22.04 in a linux container in Windows 11 and it is receiving and displaying stations from APRS-IS.? A TNC-x is sending APRS packets to one of the USB ports on COM3 as validated by another APRS client.? My understanding is that for COM3, I should use a port name of /dev/ttyS2 in the serial TNC part of YAAC, but it doesn't work.? Is there a different port name I should use?

When I check the dev folder, I find many file names with tty, including ttyS2, but they are all empty.? How should I proceed to get RF packet info from the TNC-x into YAAC?

Since you're using a TNC connected through a USB serial port, the port would probably be named /dev/ttyUSB2. Most computers these days no longer have the legacy PC motherboard serial ports that correspond to the /dev/ttyS0 port.

But it depends on how your container maps the hardware ports to the contained operating system.
