Re: [Xastir] Cross band digipeat?

2017-02-18 Thread David Ranch 


I use the PTY serial interface on DIrewolf to tie it into Linux's native 
AX.25 stack.  On the Xastir side, I use the native Linux AX.25 stack.  I 
have that all covered here:

David, what type of interface do you use to connect APRX to Direwolf?

Though available, Digined hasn't received any updates since May 2009.  
It's not that it needs more features but OSes, compiling, etc. 
constantly changes and without maintenance, people won't be able to 
compile or run it anymore.  It was mentioned that Direwolf is a viable 
cross-interface digipeater (and arguably the best AX.25 TNC available 
for weak/marginal signals).  What I personally use is Direwolf for the 
TNC and APRX for the Igate side.  Aprx is under active maintenance, is 
very powerful, lightweight, etc.

DigiNed is the ultimate cross band digipeater and can handle two or more
bands.

Since you are using an RPi, check this out:

Within the various documents you will find mention of making the "ultimate"
digipeater which it just sn extension of your goals.
Xastir can be connected too.

Can Xastir cross-band digipeat? We'd like to digipeat between 2M and 70
cm. This would be using a Pi with two TNC-Pis and of course two radios.
Would like to know this can be done before purchasing the equipment.
Tnx

For the most part, correct.  There _can_ be issues with environment
variables (sudo also sanitizes your environment for security reasons), but
other than that rare issue i've found sudo a good replacement for su.


A disturbing tendency i've noticed among novice users is to try to sudo any
command that doesn't work as expected.  As a sysadmin for a few hundred
embryonic engineers I watch the sudo failures. Most of the time they're
trying to install some package or other (which I often add to the standard
build), but occasionally it seems to be some arbitrary command or code
they've written. I've seen a user issue "command", which apparently failed
so they tried "sudo command" - as if the broken C code they wrote will
magically work if they run it as root. This sort of habit can/will lead to
broken and hacked systems.

Get big companies to share their maps?

The app-ification and profitization of the internet has resulted in fewer
free resources.  The folks that pay to have map databases created certainly
have the right to do as they please with their property, but the desire to
extract every nanocent of profit (either directly or in the form of
harvested personal information which is then sold to marketers) has
squeezed open source projects out of the picture.

I prefer totally offline maps anyway, so I tend to use free data sources
(like TIGER vector maps), spend some time with dbfawk to make them look the
way I want, and go from there.

The xastir team is on the lookout for free online sources, and not too long
ago several new sources of topo and satellite maps were introduced.
