Subject: WinAPRS and MacAPRS 2.7.2 up on www.winaprs.org

WinAPRS 2.7.2 is up on http://www.winaprs.org/downloads
I did find a bug when it deletes old stations at midnight. If you
had delete time out set to zero you would not have seen this problem
so that explains why some people had it and some did not.
As last time, there is a zip file that includes everything and also
just an exe file for those that have already downloaded 2.7.0/2.7.1
Thanks VERY MUCH for the input and the good descriptions of what
happened to cause the crash.

Please try the new tiger maps, they should fill in all of the gaps
and are very detailed.

Actually, these are 'wired' phones. You use a 6-pin RJ jack on them.
3-4 is the standard phone pair. I'm not sure what 2-5 do. 1-6 are a
paging system.
In these phones, one calls the other, and the 'receiving' phone gets the
data over the phone line. (I THINK) There's no mention in the
instructions, and I'm not sure if you HAVE to have pins 1-6 hooked
up to do the data.
I don't have a second phone, so I can't get one to start, but I THINK
it uses the CallerID modem to transmit/receive the data. That means
it has to have a full modem in there, not just the CallerID receive
side. It MAY use DTMF, I'm not sure, as I don't have a second
phone to hook up and try.
But, the physical layer is just one part. I'm actually interested in the
data format.

I really like this program, but how much RAM to run 'em seems pretty
astronomical now-a-dayz...
The new version of MacAPRS takes 95MB RAM~! I only HAVE 128. When I can't
even open Netscape without the computer telling me to shut something OFF,
w/128MB of RAM memory, I'd say we're reaching a limit.

Yes. That is correct (but see below).

Actually it is putting a dot before the leading / (subtle difference).
tar always extracts relative to the current directory.
If you don't want to cd to / before extracting the tar file, you could
always specify the full path to the files
relative to the directory where you are going to run the tar from. eg.
Assuming you are starting in /root
tar - cvf aprs.tar ../usr/local/apache/htdocs/aprslog/index.php
.../usr/local/apache/htdocs/images/banner.jpg
When you tar -xvf from /root they will then go where you expect.

Leaving for DAYTON in about 5 hours (as soon as my son gets off work). Will
be staying in Richmond, IN with my sister. I will be running APRS and will
have Voice Alert set.
Hope to see everyone for an eyeball in Dayton.

Can anyone in Illinois, near Decator - help out the Decator Amateur
Radio Club with their digipeater?
Findu is currently showing them as being 311.2 miles southeast of
SEKONDI-TAKORADI, GHANA
But, it does seem that do have a correct posit everynow and then - sort
of luck of the draw as to wether they'll be near Decator or in Ghana
according to findu.
Xastir shows them as being between Rawlins and Riverton, Wyoming.
Obvioiusly they've got a posit string that's not according to hoyle.

Can someone near by lend 'em a hand?
I'd even be willing to do what I can from here - if someone from that

Thanks!

Ah!
Yes. This happens to be my area of expertise when I'm out of the house
making some money. I test secure/non-secure phones for interoperability for
the DOD.
The phone you mention above is a Nortel proprietary phone. It uses an ISDN
BRI line. It's designed to work best with Nortel switches and chances are
if you hook it up to a Non-Nortel switch, it won't have all the features it
advertises. Start with ISDN signaling to learn more about it. I don't
think you'll get more than the basics of ISDN signaling because Nortel likes
to meet the minimum ISDN protocols (there's a bunch) and then add a bunch of
stuff that only Nortel can do. That gets into thier trade secrets. Chances
are this master/slave phone directory thing you're asking about is something
that happens at the switch.
Hope I didn't burst your bubble.
