Gents, 

If I was going to extract the callsign and packet from an APRS stream,
and ignore any path, would i use this ?

split m/>/;
print $_[0]." ";
split m/:/;
print $_[1]." \n";

Rich,

I take it from the ports that you give below that you have configured VNC
to use different ports from the default or are you mapping different ports
on the router to the standard VNC ports but to different IP addresses on
the LANs ?

In a default installation on a machine with only a single display. the VNC
server will be listening on Ports 5900 and 5800.

Normally you would connect to each computer that you wanted to administer
by its IP address (or dns name) on port 5900 (same port on each machine).

BTW which model linksys router are you using ?

Another one that I use frequenctly is -6 for "special" things like
stations using the Satellites.  This is so that those stations show up
separately on FINDU and other systems instead of being overwritten as soon
as someone QSY's back to the Terrestrial system.

Also for those that have both a D7 (-7) and a mobile (-9) but also have a
D700 in the other car, I use -8...

Subject: Thoughts on APRS symbols

This is something I've been working on for the OpenTRAC project, but I
thought it might be of interest to APRS users in general.

The APRS symbol set has grown over the years, and it hasn't done it in any
particularly organized manner as far as I can tell.  For OpenTRAC, I'm
proposing a hierarchical symbol set that should hopefully allow easier
expansion.  Attached is the symbol set I've come up with so far, though I
think it's got a long way to go.  To get the identifier for a particular
symbol, you just concatenate the numbers for each branch of the hierarchy.
For example, a private fixed wing plane with a single piston engine is
2.2.1.3.1 (air, fixed wing, private, piston, single engine.)  A truck stop
is 3.1.8.6 (ground, facilities, services, truck stop.)  In OpenTRAC, it's
encoded in packed 4-bit values, so that truck stop would be 0x3186 in hex.
APRS could probably do the same thing using 3-bit values, but it'd limit you
to 7 items in each category.

Anyway, here's the current draft, with the weather section blatantly stolen
from MIL-STD-2525B.  Let me know what you think of this scheme...

For those who keep their finger on the pulse of "APRS" like Commercial
AVL systems....

http://www.relm.com/pages/products/pdf/EarthLoc.PDF

looks more "APRS" like - than the average AVL solution...
