next beta build#211 of YAAC, created 2025-May-13
next beta build #211 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2025-May-13 downloadable from https://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html https://sourceforge.net/p/yetanotheraprsc In addition, the YAAC import of the OpenStreetMap database snapshot as of 2025-May-05 has been imported and posted on the website for download. changes and updates include: 1. fill in more missing Javadocs for source code SDK. 2. move some main() methods that are actually unit test code out of production YAAC into the unit test code (which will also guarantee the unit test code will actually be run by the Maven build tool and can be run from the Ant build tool). 3. add special case to digipeater and Tx I-gate logic to not forward a text message packet to RF if the addressee is specifically the local station (as opposed to a group the local station subscribes to). 4. re-organize the extremely lengthy View menu to use sub-menus to make the main menu shorter so it doesn't fall off the bottom of low-resolution screens (since the authors of the Java runtime didn't choose to make long menus automatically scrollable when they don't fit on the screen). Restructure the help documentation to match. 5. add support to more position-dependent filters to support non-APRS position reports (such as from the TAK plugin). 6. add support for the "d/" APRS-IS filter in the supplemental transmit filter expression. 7. augment the local traffic filter to have a new setting for only RF packets transmitted by transmit-capable I-gates. 8. change the filter for entering callsigns and callsign-SSID values to prevent out-of-range names (too many characters, non-digit SSID values, etc.). 9. fix NullPointerException breaking the object editor window. 10. show comments of non-re-received local Objects in station/object list. 11. try to fix bugs when saving alternate beacon definitions. 12. fix broken DFS (Direction Finding Status) parameters for beacons. 13. update map icons to be more consistent with OpenStreetMap's standard amenity type icons and add icons that were not formerly in YAAC. 14. add more map node types to the OpenStreetMap importer, including information from the shelter_type, tower_type, and social_facility tag types. 15. improve the documentation about what files to download from the US National Weather Service for displaying severe weather zones. 16. fix sender callsign bug when transmitting locally originated packets on a multi-port system. 17. mark suspect hard-coded digipeat paths for query responses. 18. improve Locate->Amenity display to display the number of occurrences of each amenity type on the current map, and make it sortable. 19. fix labelling in line-of-sight plot. 20. try to fix layout of message sender controls on map window when used on a low-resultion screen. 21. fix bug when transmitting no-digipeat-alias packets. 22. fix postal address plugin to more efficiently export the collected postal database, and generally access the database tables more efficiently, better connect up new JDBC drivers to the running system (still a little flaky), interface to the existing YAAC popup windows without breaking if the database is down or a matching postal record doesn't exist, display street address lookups more effectively. 23. tweak pseudo APRS-IS proxy server to also fix digipeat-less packets. 24. fix dynamic objects plugin to use reorganized View menu, fix handling of imported GPX files where not all waypoints had symbol specifications. 25. fix repeater finder plugin to use reorganized View menu.

Changes In Beacon Settings Cannot Be Saved!! 2
Hello! I have installed YAAC on several systems (Win, Linux, Pi-OS) and have the same problem Any changes I make in the Beacon settings cannot be saved! And yes, I push the "save changes" button and close out the dialogue properly. I created a new beacon, "SV0SGS". That seems to be the only change that was saved. I checked the boxes "enable station beacon" and "report altitude." I changed the display symbol and added a monitor frequency. I changed the free text to "nothing to see here." I then saved the changes and closed out the dialog using the "close" button. When I reopened the configuration dialogue I saw that all my changes were NOT saved. I repeated the procedure several times and got the same results. This is very frustrating, to say the least. I have wasted too much time on this. Where is the problem and how can it be fixed?

Load Drawings on startup 4
I want to share how much I like YAAC and love finding new helpful features. Our Club does SAG(safety patrol for bike rides) and communications. I'm working on ways to make it easier for less savy Net Control operators to use YACC more often, when I'm not there. I looked around and didn't find a solution, so I thought I'd ask. Is there a way to load ".gpx" files when YAAC starts? Does the flag "dont.purge.temp" keep the previously loaded Drawings? Thanks! Riley Kf4emz

Direction finding settings don't seem to save in beacon configuration 4
Hey all, I have been trying to understand some of the direction finding extensions of ARPS. 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. 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

Mobilinkd NucleoTNC Fails to Connect at 38400 Baud 4
Any updates on this open ticket??? Been using a different APRS client but would prefer to use YAAC as the features, functions and overall UI is better in my opinion. https://sourceforge.net/p/yetanotheraprsc/tickets/15/

Possible Bug Importing Objects 7
After importing a list of objects (file->load->object and items), they are placed on the map correctly. Several versions ago I could click on the imported object to view the comment associated with the object. Now it isn't possible to click on the object and view the comment. Here's a snippet of the file imported: ;KM4MIF *121605h3608.98N\08649.15WaHCA Enterprise Emergency Operations Center - Monitoring ;K4OC *121605h3435.88N\08628.89WaClint K4OC ;KC5HWB *121605h3444.48N\08640.45Wagreen Gigaparts ;K4RXS *121605h3511.52N\08433.49WaGREEN. Multi-op with KA4BAH and W4JUU ;AA6BD *121605h3503.51N\08508.57WaGREEN All OK using AA6BD-10 The comment isn't visible in the object/station list either. Running Mint 22 here. Is this a bug in recent versions of YAAC or am I missing something? I receive no errors during import. 73, de KM4ACK

YAAC HELP 13
Hello, I need a little help with YAAC. I am trying to get the shape files for NWS alerts installed but every time I try to view severe alerts I get a "There are no DBF files containing forecast zone definitions. Download them and unzip into your YAAC tiledir" I have downloaded and unzipped the zone, warning area, and coastal shape files and extracted them all into the tiledir file folder and there error persists. What did I miss. Thanks, Mike NZ4K Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5, an AT&T 5G smartphone Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5, an AT&T 5G smartphone Get Outlook for Android

New local object creation from GPX file points of interest feature 3
I just got a chance to try out the latest build of YAAC. When importing a gpx file that does not have a symbol defined for the POI that are in the gpx file YAAC spits out an error and does not import the file. I have attached a gpx with(Zane-grey-test.gpx) and without(ZaneGrey50-NC.gpx) symbol defined for you to see. I have also attached the error message. It seems like it needs a little if null assign a default symbol section of code. Perhaps a colored circle or triangle. Thanks, Scott

next beat build#210 of YAC, created 2025-Apr-09 2
next beta build #210 of YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client"), created 2025-Apr-09 downloadable from https://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html https://sourceforge.net/p/yetanotheraprsc changes and updates include: 1. stop auto-appending a carriage-return character to position messages. 2. fix NullPointerException for non-GPS stations using compressed-format position reports, and fix the encoding of speed for GPS-using stations using compressed format. Add unit tests to build system so that correct compressed-mode positions will be verified in regression tests. 3. fix broken hyperlinks in the YAAC source code Javadocs and in the built-in help files. 4. fix debug category ordering stability and NullPointerExceptions caused in the debug control plugin. 5. fix startup race condition for loading the digipeat alias catalog. 6. prevent listing national weather message destinations as drop-down choices for sending APRS text messages. 7. properly handle non-APRS and non-OpenTRAC position messages in the station histories. Such stations can come from the TAK plugin. 8. fix table update errors for local objects table. 9. fix NullPointerExceptions in Radio View when receiving connected-mode control packets (S-frames). 10. fix updating of pre-populated drop-down lists for message sending panels to not get frozen against further updates after the drop-down is used once. 11. fix ObjectEditor to not allow Save or OK buttons until the edited Object has a name. 12. fix NullPointerExceptions when sorting station and packet histories for packets without bodies. 13. fix RailroadStroke so it can be scaled up when a railroad-related amenity is highlighted on the map. 14. fix sort order on Station/Object list when user chooses to sort by age. 15. fix match list logic to properly handle clicking on local objects on the map without any packet history. 16. fix topographic tile download dialog to update the "map" of which tiles have already been downloaded, so the "map" won't freeze before finishing the Southern hemisphere. 17. fix OSM rendering bugs for "holes" in a solid Way, and when rendering shorelines and coastlines that are given the size of the landmass they surround (rather than the width of the beach the shorelines identify). 18. some performance improvements for OSM obstruction finder (used by line-of-sight views and AREDN plugin). 19. improve performance of nearest-point-on-OSM-Way calculator (used by dynamic objects plugin to fit a route to exact streets). 20. clean up the UI prompts and menu choices to be grammatically correct. 21. fix ADS-B plugin to support the alternate raw packet format provided by FlightRadar ADS-B receivers (as opposed to the format provided by the rtl_adsb and dump1090 programs). Add regression unit tests and debug logging to verify the packet parsing. 22. add support for AREDN node configuration's AGL height value, so inter-node propagation can be calculated better. 23. fix dynamic objects plugin to properly update the plugin's table views, and more efficiently fit a coarse set of route vertices to OpenStreetMap ways (roads, etc.). 24. optionally have dynamic objects route importer extract waypoints from a GPX file and convert into private APRS Objects on the map. 25. add the debugging option (from a JVM command-line system property) to number the vertices of a dynamic route on the map. 26. fix Mac OS X "right-mouse-click" issues in repeater finder plugin, and apply bugfixes in main YAAC station renderer to repeater finder map. 27. fix inter-plugin linking error for newer Java runtime versions in the small screen plugin. 28. fix packet rendering of packets received by TAK plugin. Also fill in reasonable defaults in TAK port configuration panel. 29. fix the built-in help files for the weather alert plugin to work correctly with the other help files.

Weird rendering of OSM for Guatemala 5
I'm seeing a very strange rendering of OSM data for Guatemala. I looked at the OSM data and can't figure why it looks so strange (see attached). 73, Eric WG3K FM18rp Packet: WG3K@WG3K.#SMD.MD.USA.NOAM E-Mail: wg3k@... GPG: D5A62094161B8C5D2A13E96EBA220AE2C4D9A50E

Beacon not shown on Map 1.0-beta209 3
the Beacon is not showing on the map. in the Beacon <TAB> i created a new beacon with - X Enabled station beacon Beacon Type: position, manual lat/lon, Display symbol: \# the remaining setting are unchanged. pressed the Save Changes button. i have enabled this beacon in both APRS-is and KISS over TCP. and saved those changes as well. on the Map i do not see my station symbol. further the BCN does not work - it has gray letters w/ white background. if i return to the Beacon <TAB> the Enable station beacon - no longer has a check in the box, the Display symbol - textbox is empty/blank. i have tried to uninstall the program from the Pi4 by removing the folders - YAAC and yaac_folder. after reinstalling the program the issues above are still present. is there another version of YAAC that i can use, if so where is located ? thanks 73, dan
