Simple. I've been using aprsfl.net port 14580. APRSFL seems to be really
reliable and over the last 6 months or so I havn't noticed any significant
downtime. I know you run Xastir, so just put "filter t/mn" on the filter
properties line in the Interfaces - Properties dialog box.
Full list of filter options is here: http://www.aprsfl.net/status.txt
Although, I'm not sure why you want to see incoming messages from the
internet. Xastir doesn't handle messages well enough yet to accomadate
that kind of message flood. Personally I just use t/n which is only for
NWS messages from wxsvr.net.

Taking the filter port one step further:
filter r/33/-96/100 t/n
This will pass all stations within a 100 km radius of N 33, W 96 and all
NWS objects/messages. It will also pass all messages destined for stations
within the range setting. This means that if you were located near
N33,W96, you would properly IGate messages world-wide while receiving a
much reduced feed from APRS-IS. Filter settings only affect server to
client packets, not client to server. Everything your IGate sends to
APRS-IS will still be passed. Obviously, you would set the range filter to
what makes sense for your operation.
Hope this helps and have fun.

Does anyone know if there are any altitude limitations on the DigiTraveler
GPS? (You know what I have in mind...)
Thanks!

Okay, after searching for a while, I found the spec sheet for the GPS board
on Sony's web site at http://products.sel.sony.com/semi/PDF/GXB2000.pdf.
Under the "Output data" section of the document, it says that the value
range for altitude is "8192 to -8192" (in meters). So I'm assuming that it
simply won't report above 8192 meters. Or am I reading this wrong?
Thanks.

This might seem a particularly elementary question to most here, but I need
some help.... How exactly do I connect a thermistor to a KPC-3+ analog input
line? Is it as simple as taking +5v from an external voltage regulator and
running it through the thermistor and to the input? Or is there more
involved?
Thanks much.

A friend just came into an old old old kantronics "packet communicator".
With no radio hooked to it, the RCV led is on all the time. There is no CD
command in software to allow me to select between internal or XCD unless I
missed it. Unless any of you know what could be mucked up in software, I
think my friend got a bum deal.
BTW, It came up asking for baud rate and callsign. I PERMed all the
settings, and looks like it can remember things.

I'm sitting here thinking about getting more bang for my buck and trying to
cut down on the amount of stuff my Wx station sends out to the RF world.
Quickly, I have a KPC3+ tied to an Ultimeter 2000 at my office (KF4OTN-3).
It is sending out the position every thirty minutes (compressed) and the
$ULTW string every five minutes. My question is, is there a way to have
the compressed position appear before the weather string so I can eliminate
my thirty minute beacon? I was reading in the SPEC and don't see this
listed so I'm not sure if I was able to make KPC3+ transmit this if any of
the client software would decode this properly.
Anyone know?
Thanks,
Eric KF4OTN

Subject: How to capture APRN Live KEN-CAM images and display in a PC
I will like to do the following.
a) Use Kenwood APRS walkie-talkie(TH D7E with VC-H1) that makes it possible
to send a single APRS position/status/title packet to identify the KENCAM
image.
b) Capture the Image in a PC run any of the SSTVdecoder softwares. It
auto-saves the Image and captures the APRS TITLE packet via a TNC on the
serial port. This info is saved to your WEB server and the APRS HTML page
is refreshed.
PL. SUGGEST how to do this.( I don' t know it and am a newbie)
