Phil, please clarify what server(s) behaves this way - not all of them do.

Good idea! Right now, aprswest.net and aprsca.net handle all the ports
that I spoke of. aprseast.net and ahubswe.net both support the filter port
14580. There are other servers that support specialized filters, such as
VKAPRS_2, but the port numbers may differ. We have tried to get the
stateside servers aligned on the same ports, but it is really best to check
with individual servers to see what ports are available. Check
http://www.ahubswe.net/aprs_stat.asp for a list of commonly used servers.

Hi there,
I'm sorry to bother the list, but can someone who knows what's going on
with Amsat please email me off list. I'm sure it has been discussed on
this list, but I don't receive anything from this or any other list
since all my email comes through amsat.org.
I take it that they have server problems, but I'm just curious if anyone
knows how long it will take so I know if it's worth it to switch my
forwarding service.
I apologize to everyone who sent me email which I have not answered yet
due to this incident.
Thanks a bunch!
73,

There are some WAP cgis for weather and position on findu (see the cgi.html
page on findu), and a nice set of wap routines from W9IF, using the findU
database as the backend:
http://w9if.net/cgi-bin/wapaprs/web_main.pl
Hopefully you saw the post a couple days ago about the radar cgi I wrote,
this works using an HTML>WAP gateway, at least through on Sprint Vision.
This gateway also allows the use of any of the non-graphical cgis on findu
(any graphic > 128x128 is not fetched), including the near cgi, I've used
this often.
I'm not planning on doing any other WAP support, but if what you find here
isn't what you want, then perhaps Rich can indulge you!

For those not doing serious geodesy NAD83 is identical to WGS84. If
anyone wants a discussion of the differences, I'll be glad to oblige.
NAD27 and NAD83 are *NOT* identical: NAD27 is a "subjective" datum with
an interesting and colorful history. Both politically and technically
it lacked any chance of the resolution and accuracy of NAD83. WGS84 was
created by the geodesists at NIMA to provide a world-wide (objective)
datum for GPS use. While it defines its own ellipsoid, the ellipsoid of
origin was identical to GRS80. WGS84 is updated annually; NAD83 is
updated periodically, as deemed necessary. This frequency varies from
2-7 years.

Subject: WinAPRS 2.61 terminal window help
From: "Bob D." <n2iph@comcast.net>

Trying WinAPRS again for the first time in 4 years to help a fellow ham
in the area so am foggy on some operations and settings.
Q: What setting has to be changed to have the terminal window in WinAPRS
2.61 work correctly?
When I open the terminal window to set a parameter which is not set by
WinAPRS I get the CMD: prompt but all the text writes to only the top
line overwriting any previous text and leaving behind any text from a
previous line.
For instance when I try to view ID settings in the TNC using DISP I the
twelve or so lines all write overtop each other and I am left with a
jumble of text.
I see the same problem on two different TNCs... 1 KPC-3+ and 1 MFJ-1278B
Each of these TNCs work fine with other APRS software.

Hi Bob,
I have to turn AUTOLF on in the Terminal Mode to eliminate the problem
you describe.. Works for me, I have not tried to make that an automatic
function when entering Terminal, but should see if it can be done, :-)

I'm glad its not just us in the UK that are forever having debates regarding
datums.
It seems to me that there should be a facility in the APRS spec to be able
to define the datum in use.
The spec states that the default datum is WGS84 but does not provide a means
of specifying what the datum is, if the default is not used. This is
especially important in areas such as the UK where virtually all maps
available are to a datum other than WGS84.

I've tried with several, and can't seem to get port 10154 to give
me any data at all. It also doesn't seem to send my data through to the
IS. Last server I tried was aprswest.net:10154.
Sounds like a great function, can someone give me some more
information on how to set it up?
Thanks,
Earl
