X-Message-Number: 1
FYI: The latest version of Echolink (1.6.846 15MAR03) has added the
capability to report its status in APRS format. It can (if selected) start
UI-View (if installed on your system) and send position and status info
through UI-View or directly to a TNC (you need to specify the TNC comport)
w/o using UI-View.
This option is only available in the SYSOP mode and is found under the
RF tab in SYSOP setup.

X-Message-Number: 2
I have been supplied with four geotiff map samples located in Ontario
Canada, that I was hoping to be able to use for APRS and WinAprs (or any
other APRS program that will load a geotiff)
Unfortunately WinAprs reports an unsupported tiff compression method. Am I
missing something here or are there differences in the coding of GeoTiff
Files.
I would appreciate some help in in finding out whether these files are of
any use to me.
They load fine into several of my graphics editor packages.
Rather than burden the net with an attachement, I am supplying a link to the
file.

I've decompressed and re-saved the TIFF - you can grab it at
http://n1vg.net/60504960.zip. I don't have a copy of WinAPRS to test it
with, but it should work.

Any chance the UI-View connection is nice generic TCP/IP or is it something
specific to UI-View? Generic is a good thing.
A simple UDP packet is all that's needed.
Is the TNC interface plain text or KISS?

I updated mine and can not find out how to use it. UI-view is updated also.

Here's what Xastir had to say about that file. I suspect it wasn't
saved in the correct USGS geoTIFF format:
1017605049600.tif: Compression algorithm does not support random access.
Here's what "http://216.40.224.145/eng/tiffutil.txt" had to say
about it:
"gtifcp.bat
usage : gtifcp infile.tif outfile.tif
Calls the geotifcp.exe program (described below) but passes to it the
parameters which will write out the tif file to a new name in a TIFF format
better suited for use by OziExplorer and also Fugawi.
CAUTION - Note that no georeference data is copied, however it is possible
using the geotifcp program to insert georeference data extracted by the
listgeo.exe program (above).
Also note that there is no need to use this program on USGS DRG maps as
these are already in the best format (they also usually contain
georeference data which will be lost).
This is a listing of the gtifcp.bat file
@echo off
rem standard options to produce
rem a TIFF file with
rem
rem -s use strips
rem -r 1 one row per strip
rem -c packbits packbits compression
rem
geotifcp -s -r 1 -c packbits %1 %2

Phil
This format is a non-standard format, it is NEXT 2 bit RLE compression
mode. I now have it working under MacAPRS and have it working except for
the right colors under WinAPRS, I will let you know when I get the colors
working.

When monitoring, I saw lots of ECHO,GATE,WIDE2-2 on there. Don't think
I'll go that far...
Next question: How do I (or can I?) get WinAPRS to give me a different
path than the one it uses for VHF? I can't figure that one out.

I now have the TIFF files working correctly on Windows, including the color.
Phil can you accept a ZIP file, I will send you a new version to try.

Mark,
If you update Winaprs for the GEOTIFF files can we just update version
2.5.1? I never upgraded to 2.6 due to the new pmap ocx problems. Will this
new update allow a person to just download a topo or aerial image from a
place like the microsoft terraserver?
Thank you,
Brian N2KGC

Subject: D700 Programming!???

HELP!
We are trying to program a D700 using the MCP program and we have stored
channel names for each channel. When we turn RADIO-MEMORY-DISPLAY-NAME
ON, it turns ON, but the only thing the radio displays is "CH-1", "CH-43"
etc, and not the NAME of the channel.
What are we doing wrong. We read the footnote that says "you cannot
switch this function on unless you can recall any channel in both bands A
and B." We read this to mean it must be a 144 or 440 freqeuncy. So we
removed the 220 and 902 and 1296 frequenceis. and still it only displays
the channel number and not the channel name...
Thanks
Bob
