Also depends on what you plan on fitting into the can along with it. I
prefer 7AH smaller gel-cells for that reason, which also tends to make the
carrying weight lower. Then again, my power usage habits also tend to put
me in reach of 12V sources often.

I barely fit a 31 a-h gelcell into an ammo can, but there's not much
room for anything else (like transciever, tiny-trak, antenna bulkhead
connector, connector for GPS) once that monster is stuffed in
there, and the weight is kind of - well, excessive.
The 24 a-h battery barely fit with a Yaesu FT-470 and TinyTrak also.
I also like to use 7 a-h size due to weight, or fit a pair of them and
swap them when one gets low if extended duration is important
(assuming human intervention possible to switch them).
The tracker that shows up as N5PSP-12 (and bicycle icon) is a 7 a-h
gelcell, Yaesu FT-470, and Garmin E-Trex Legend, with a PL-259 bulkhead
connector and circular connector in the lid for antenna / GPS connector.

The most common problem that causes this is that the TNC has HEADRLN
on which puts the header on a separate line than the data.
If this does not work, open up the history window and send me a screen shot.

WinAPRS/MacAPRS does keep track of where the station came from (VHF,
HF, TCP/IP), you can do this in a round about manor in WinAPRS by
selecting what you want to see as FLAGGED and the DISPLAY FLAGGED
STATIONS ONLY.

Nothing else, just a companion ammo can to the one with the radios in it. I
might do a small boost reg board to charge that gell, but it wouldn't be
more than say 2x2"

I can't ping (or reach) firenet.us (see below). Is their DNS down or is
this a problem at my DNS server?

As per your suggestion, I have added the ability to select station
origination display options, the complete list of station display
options are:
Display All Stations (Normal)
Direct Stations Only
new RF Stations Only VHF/HF
new VHF Stations Only
new HF Stations Only
new TCP Stations Only
Flagged Stations Only
Tracked Stations Only
Weather Stations Only
I will have this out in the next release.
As I mentioned previously, Mac/WinAPRS already keeps track of where
the station came from (HF, VHF, TCP/IP) and this is displayed in the
station list.

Ramón,
We are looking into the problem at this time. Try the other server
at kk6rw.no-ip.org Port 2023. That should do the trick. We will
advise on this SIG and the UI-View SIG when the problem has been
fixed.
Thanks,

Another common APC SLA battery is 20 AH. These also fit my BMW
motorcyce and Electric scooter. My other BMW uses a 28 ah. These are
reasonable from Dig-Key. I picked up two 20 ah batteries for $5.00
last year at a hamfest. APC pulls after 2 years use.
