Subject: RE: Internet feed vs. FINDU.COM

If it shows up on findu.com, then it is showing up on APRS-IS as that is
how findu.com gets its packets. There are many factors that could cause
you to not see a particular station via a specific APRS-IS feed:
The server you are connected to is not configured properly.
The server the IGate is connected to is not configured properly.
The port you are connecting to is a filtered port.
The packet has NOGATE or RFONLY in it.
The packet is malformed.
I am sure there are other reasons, as well. The first 2 were a major
problem over the previous years. With improvements in server software
and in IGate software, they have become less of a problem, but still
exist in limited instances.
This is where it is advantageous for sysops to upgrade to the latest
release of the software they are using. It also would be extremely
helpful for sysops to review their configurations and eliminate
connections to historical ports (10151) and hub ports (1313). Also,
simultaneous connections to multiple servers only increases loading on
those servers without enhancing reliability.
Keep in mind, too, the timestamp on findu.com. The last time KC8FWD-5
was heard on findu.com was 6 days ago.

Hi all,
Since I have not seen the subject brought up yet, I will ask what and
where did the new WinAPRS release maps come from? These are not maps I
have come to enjoy in the past.
Will the new release still support Precision Mapping even though it
doesn't fill the screen?
Thanks
Robbie, wa9inf

Use the callpass program (which gets compiled and installed along with
xastir) to calculate your registration number.

If you are maliciously crashing my system that is unacceptable. But if
you are doing something otherwise innocent which causes my buggy system
to crash, that's indeed my problem.

I am confused guys, what do you need to generate a number for ?
I am in the same boat, all i have ever been able to do is use .MAP
files.
Can someone help me out, I have gifs and the relavant cord files set up,
and had the same results, could not see any maps.
If you can help me that would be really cool !

I have tried 5 times today to access the ftp section at aprs.rutgers.edu but
everytime I have tried on 2 different machines it locks up my computers and
I have to restart to get them back?
Has anyone else had this problem?

Andrew,
Back when the APRS-IS was supervised and maintained by a single person
(Thanks Steve!!) a rudimentary 'authentication' system was setup - above
and beyone whatever registration schemes various software authors
implimented.
Idea was, that in order to connect to any of the then existing servers,
a 'validation key' was required. Intent was to allow only licensed or
otherwise authorized individuals access to the APRS-IS. I think.
I may well be a bit fuzzy on that, but the general gist of it is there -
it's been awhile.
Anyway, when that person had to toss in the towel and let whatever was
going to happen to the APRS-IS happen, he also released the algorythm to
generate these 'validation keys' to the public.
The validation is a remnant and gesture towards allowing only those 'in
the know or otherwise allowed' full access and connectivity to the ARPS-IS.
xastir, aprsd and maybe others include utilities to generate these
'validation keys'.
And no, they're not the same as the registration keys for some software.
