Driving along yesterday about 1800 CDT in the severe storms in Texas,
and getting (solely) interent updates, we saw the tornado warning (the
box wasn't representative of the size of the mesoscale event!) and its
dynamic movement. We then found ourselves tracking through the path of
the event, and saw a lot of evidence of straight wind damage, in La
Grange, Tx, and north of the town, some evidence of cyclonic winds.
We also noted boxes associated with severe TRW watches and warnings, and
they were timely and accurate. HOWEVER there was not a severe TRW box
associated with the tornado warning that I saw.

Folks:
Has anyone been able to make the HP SATSTAT program talk to the GPS unit
with a USB serial port?
IF so, how?
Thanks & 73,

I am using a KPC-3 in my Jeep and seems to be working great. I would
like to report myself as /j (Jeep) and don't know if I can do this with
just the TNC in the car. Anyone know if this can be done?

This is the Mic-E format, get the APRS SPec from tapr.org for full details of
how to decode this.

Hello Everyone,
I'd like to apologize for any trouble caused my APRS setup. It seemed
everything was working fine until I was notified yesterday (by Jim Duncan
and Steve Dimse) that there were problems with the periods being removed
from my packets.
Currently everything is shut down which has stopped the flow of bad
packets, but it does nothing to resolve the cause of them.
My setup includes RedHat 7.3, aprsd 2.1.5, and MFJ-1270C. I've reviewed
the aprsd.conf, INIT.TNC, and settings in the MFJ TNC and the cause of the
trouble is not obvious to me.
If anyone is willing to assist me in resolving this I'd greatly appreciate
it.

Is aprsd connecting to the TNC directly through the serial port, or is it
using an AX.25 port with kissattach? I'd try watching the traffic with
listen if it's a kiss port, or something like minicom if it's a serial port.
Make sure the data's OK there, and then sniff the TCP traffic with tcpdump
to see if the problem is in aprsd, or if perhaps something down the line is
corrupting it.
Is the corruption happening on all packets? Does it eat periods regardless
of their position in the message?

PCSAT2 will be on the air at the AIAA/USU Small Satellite Conference in
Logan Utah 11-15 Aug.
It will support APRS on 145.825 and PSK-31 downlink on 435.275 (or 250, i
forget which crystal is in it)
For what it's worth N6CO copied a packet from PCsat today. So it aint
totally dead either...

Scott,
My TNC is directly connected to the serial port on my server.
I was concerned that i misconfigured either the aprsd.conf or INIT.TNC
files and never checked the TNC output. I checked it and the packets
received were being displayed without the periods. So it appears that the
TNC was eating the periods after all. But why? I cracked open the MFJ
manual and didn't notice any commands that might be responsible for this.
After verifiing many settings I did a reset and now the TNC is displaying
proper packets (with periods in the lat/long).
So the issue of the missing periods has been resolved, but the root cause
is still unknown.
Anyone know what might have caused this?
Thanks Scott for the help. It never occured to me that the TNC would be
responsible for mangling the packets in such a way.
Regards,
Kairy Richard Ibrahim

Check the MFILTER or FILTER command to make sure a period isn't in
there. If you can, do a DISP command to see what is displayed. It is
possible the TNC was overrun during initialization and the command may
have been misset.
