I finally got my two RINO 110's. It sounds to me like a 2400 baud data
burst. To hear it, click on: http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/rino1.wav
The first burst is a PTT Kerchunk to get it to transmit a posit...
The second is the data burst. Im leaving in 1 hour for a 9 day family
trip, so I cant play anymore. Ill take the rinos with me, but wont be
able to do anything with them but let my kids play. No tools at Grammmas.
But presumably the received posit shows up as a Waypoint in the RINO's
waypoint list. But Brent Hilderbrand says it takes some time to download
waypoints at only 10 per second... But if there are only 10 RINO's at an
event, and say 20 waypoints for the event, thats about 3 seconds of
download time every 30 seconds from the central RINO to the serial port
of the central APRS PC.. Easy to do..
(unless its not listening while its downloading).
Well, thats not a problem either. Just do a 10 second download. Wait 20
seconds and do a POLL of all units. This will give the maximmum possible
update rate while also allowing for some new units to enter in...

I was playing around with changing from all stations to direct stations to
see how well my station was working. I have several stations out at 500
miles when in direct station only! Of course when I go to all stations I see
a lot more to include mobiles out at the 500 mile range. Is it normal to see
stations this far out when in Direct Stations Only? I guess that this is NOT
an accurate way to determine how far your station can receive? What does
placing your APRS program into Direct Station Mode Only accomplish?
Tnx & 73,

I too run iMac DV slot loading Mac into a USB to Serial port converter.
If I quit the MacAPRS application without first closing ALL ports I
then must go through the reboot routine etc.. However, if I pull down
to the VHF port and uncheck that to close the VHF port and then pull
down to the TCP ports and click on close all tcp/ip ports and THEN quit
I can restart MacAPRS without having to reboot or unplug and reinsert
anything.
I don't know why, but that's the way it works for me.

The original intent was back when we running RF only to show stations
that we heard direct vs machines that were heard via Digis. With the
internet, this is not always obvious and the method for detecting
DIRECT vs non-DIRECT never changed.

Thats what the RINO is. That is why we are excited about integrating it
into APRS. It only costs $xxx...

What about the Rino 120? It has 8 meg of memory and comes with a PC
interface cable.

fwiw... two suggestions for the fathers of APRS to consider...
Client software should be able to easily visually segregate icons that are
RX'd via RF vs. those that are RX'd via the IStream.
Use: I want to be hooked up to the IStream to send info, yet wish to view
only what I see on RF.
APRS would be well served by having a "frequency of origination" variable
in /PGH and be able to use that information to filter what is displayed (by
band of origination).
Use: a distress call is sent, SAR teams converge, no signal DF'd. Why?
It is on 30m, not 2m.
Just some Brain Sugar.

You can do this with Xastir, at least with these two cases.

Now that we can't do.

About 10 years ago I thought it would be a nice idea to document the
various features that each author built-in to their systems and lay them
out on a chart to allow new APRSers the opportunity to make an informed
decision as to which client they would use.
Alas...time and twins got in the way. :)
Thanks, Curt. The more I stick around, the more I understand just how
underpowered non-open and non-*nix systems really are. :)
