Doesn't it have the diagonal red slash across it?

Subject: [aprssig] Battery Packs...and more...
Thx for info on the battery pack. I have 2 D7's, one mobile in a RAM
bracket c/w Pryme speaker mic and the other I use as a portable. I have to
use a D7 for a mobile due to Subaru's lack of consideration for a mounting
place for a D700 control head. A Mirage BD-35 add's some power when
necessary.
I just wanted an idea on the quality, etc., of the product as I want a
spare pack for times when there is no opportunity to recharge, etc.
Kenwood's 4 cell case dosen't do much more for me than fill the RAM bracket
so I don't constantly charge a NiCad in the cradle. High capacity cells
will be a good back-up.
No that I've taken your time on the simple things in life, here is the real
question.
Has anyone ever used APRS to identify a visitor to your local area,
generate an automatic msg to the APRS unit welcoming them to your area
(entering a preset parimeter) and refer them to your primary voice
repeater? We have also thought of then, after a reasonable delay for the
operator to tune to the repeater, running text to speech to welcome the
visitor to the area and state some of the control commands (WX, Echo & IRLP
dialing codes, etc.) for the repeater, our website (lcarc.ca) and other
useful bits of info.
We have given this some thought by considering the use of our IRLP (2009)
PC, the local digi's etc. Has anyone ever taken on such a project and with
what success?

Hey Ron, you didn't mention the hot news... This looks BIG!
"This new version, while retaining the ActiveX (OCX) interface, offers
a new program interface, AGWtoBPQ, bringing the full capabilities of
BPQ32 to existing user programs having an AGWPE compatible interface."

I would certainly hope not! I would consider a robot coming up on the
repeater every time an out-of-area tracker appears within range as a form
of spam. I'm not that versed on the fine points of 'automatic control' in
part 97, but it seems to me that a repeater, digi, bbs, etc. are
transmitting automatically at the request of a licensed ham. To have the
robot initiate transmissions autonomously would cross the line into
'beacon' or 'broadcast' operation. Also, have pity on the locals who
monitor the repeater as they go about their business. You'll drive them
crazy with the repeated infomercials.

Subject: [aprssig] UI-View over LAN...
My `ham' computer sits in the basement…
The `other' computer sits on the main floor…
We do not have internet access at home yet…so, I was going to set up
UI-View over the LAN, and found maybe 2 sites that had info on it…
It says in the APRS Server Setup page to set the `ham' (aka host) computer
to `Enable local server'…
Ok, did that…
Now on the other computer, it says to edit the APRS_Server portion in the
INI file use the `ham' computer's IP address, and use port 1448…
Save it and start up `other' computer and connect to aprs server…
Well, I have, but it don't……
I've unchecked the `APRS server log on required' as I thought I read it in
the help files…
So anyway, what am I missing?
The instructions I've found have a little to be desired…
Any help you can share would be appreciated…

I could be wrong but I think that you don't run UI-View on the "non-ham"
computer. You use a browser such as IE or Firefox to access the UI-View
server on the ham computer. Here is a link to my UI-View server:

I run UIView over my LAN but I do it a little differently.
In my case the "ham" computer runs Linux which has a UDP link to the
Windows machine for UIView. APRS radio traffic goes to the LAN via that
port. You don't say what operating system the "ham" computer uses.
On the Windows machine I run AGWPE with the LU7DID axip driver. UIView
interfaces with AGW.
AGW has a "remote control" option that allows it to function over a
Telnet link from anywhere on a network. If you're running Windows on
both machines, perhaps this is an option.

Hi Eric,
You seem to have directions for connecting to an APRS server. That is
not what you are trying to accomplish, however. If I'm understanding
you correctly, you have your TNC connected to your computer in your
basement, and you want to run UI-View on another computer on the LAN.
Here's how to do that:
On the basement (TNC) computer:
1. Right click on the AGWPE icon in the system tray
2. Choose "setup interfaces".
3. On the first tab, make sure "Enable Winsock TCP/IP Application
Interface" is checked.
4. On the winsock interface security tab, choose "Accept without login
from anywhere (no security). (Note, after you get things working, you
can go back and change this setting if you are concerned about this).
5. Click "OK" and restart AGWPE
On the UI-View computer:
1. Click on "Setup" and choose "Comms Setup"
2. Host mode should be set to AGWPE
3. Click on the Setup button
4. In the host machine box, change 127.0.0.1 to the IP address of the
AGWPE (Basement) computer
5. Click OK and OK again to save changes
That's it! You are now accessing the TNC on the basement computer
via TCP/IP over your LAN.
