I have noticed that the locals transmit a tone of 100.0 for the aprs bursts
as well making most of the listening for another station on 144.390 useless
as the packet bursts are STILL coming through. Forget wearing a headset and
listen to the calls on 144.390 in the Wyoming/Cheyenne area/ the packet
makes you take the headset off or just turn off the radio altogether. I
recently made the ham-com in Estes Park, Colorado with the same result. I
did not include the 100.0 PL into my presentation due the sheer nature of
the aprs packets being transmitted with the PL already on and having to
listen to the bursts.
Just my Opinion on the matter and that the "suggestion" doesn't always work.

XMS is a reference to a driver that allowed some drivers to be loaded into
memory above the 1meg mark I believe. If you have specific text, someone on
the list might be able to tell you more about this error. You might try
turning on/off the dos compatibility, and some of the other settings in the
properties dialog box for that program.

What a lot of the newer APRS folks don't comprehend is that the PL should
only be transmitted by mobiles and portables, NOT home stations or digis. It
took a while to get that concept through some thick skulls in this part of
the country (Indiana/Illinois area).
The 100.0 hz PL system makes it nice for knowing when you are within simplex
range of another mobile APRS user. Of course, in large metropolitan areas
where there might be a high concentration of APRS mobile stations at the
same time, it's probably not practical. But for 99.9% of the geographical
area of North America it works flawlessly.

Couild it be that someone lives at home at a high location and is
monitoring 144.39 with CTCSS 100 so that he can listen for VOICE-ALERT
mobiles, but he is then the one you always hear? I agree. if a home
station does it, then it ruins it for everyone... Especaially since they
have such higer range..
The good news is that it is EASY to see who is doing it. Everytime you
hear a PL100 packet, then he should should up on the front panel of your
radio...

Hi there,
To facilitate development of OpenTRAC products I wrote a little tool
similar to "kissgen", called "tracgen". Tracgen is a Windows program
that converts APRS position reports into OpenTRAC position elements. It
will package them into an AX.25 frame (PID=0x77) and pushes them out of
a serial port as KISS frames. This can be fed to any KISS capable TNC or
fed back to a serial port as input for an application under development.
Currently position reports with or without timestamps, including the
compressed format, are supported.
Tracgen will take a flat text file with packets as input. This file can
be generated from the APRS-IS stream with something like Afilter.
Tracgen will parse all frames and looks for the ones it can convert. So
there's no need to edit the file. You can specify to which port, at what
speed and at what interval frames need to send.
You can find Tracgen at:
http://www.kr1st.com/tracgen.htm
I haven't been able to get my Linux box back up yet, so I've not tested
this against the modified "listen" command.

Hello All, I run a APRSD server at home so I can use one radio and TNC.
I found that if I don't connect to a server or hub APRSD will not gate
to RF my APRS workstation at home or at my office. I was going to use
this server at events so we would run one radio and TNC to reduce the RF
traffic but it didn't work. I even added gate2rf for all the call signs
and that didn't work. It would be nice if there was a lite version of
APRSD that would just gate everything that was connected to the server
with out all the changes to the packet. Anyways I would like to thank
all of you for your time in making this stuff work. I'm alway willing to
help but I can't code but I can test it out for you.
Thanks, David

I do run voice alert on my d700.. and with it's PM memories, I program PM1
for driving, PM2 for parking/ unattended. Unattended mode does not TX a
PL100hz in addition to having different status message and TX rate. If I'm
not in the car, you won't hear pl100hz from me.

Anyone hear him direct?
Maybe he is running Voice alert and you can railse him on 144.39?
