Re: [Xastir] Basic Questions
Thanks Curt, Your answers got me part of the way there. I have
highlighted my responses below.

1. Does anyone have some examples of how to configure the TNC on a
Kenwood TS-2000?
That is a minimal Tasco-designed TNC like in the TH-D7A's and
TM-D7[01]0's. Try one of these methods. Note that you can create
all of these and just use one if you want to experiment. You can
create up to 15 interfaces in Xastir:
*) Interface->Interface Control->Add->Serial TNC
Startup file: "tnc-startup.d700"
Stop file: "tnc-stop.d700"
*) Interface->Interface Control->Add->Serial TNC
Startup file: "tnc-startup.thd7"
Stop file: "tnc-stop.d700"
*) Interface->Interface Control->Add->Serial KISS TNC
Set the TNC to KISS mode before-hand
*) Yet another option if running Linux: Set the TNC to KISS mode
and run an "AX25 TNC" interface in Xastir. See our HOWTO for
this on the Xastir website as it's a bit more complicated.
Thanks Ill give these a try.
2. I have the OSM map up for my area but all that I get are lines
with numbers. How do I get the objects and call signs to display?
Are you using the online OSM maps or the downloaded Shapefile
extracts from the OSM database?
I've tried it with both the .osm maps and the geo maps.
For APRS station/objects/items to display you'll need to have an
interface up and running, RF or internet or both. I'm running one
of each.
This I have done.
Once you have an interface up and are receiving packets you should
start seeing stations on your map with the default settings. If
you've messed with them already, the Station->Filter Data and
Station->Filter Display menus would be the place to re-enable
things.
I have been through all of these settings and no luck. When I view the
incoming data, I can see the stations, but nothing shows up on the map
except blue lines with numbers.
3. How do I clear the map so that I can start fresh?
Map->Map Chooser->Clear->Apply or Clear->OK ("OK" makes the dialog
go away, "Apply" doesn't).
I just want to clear of the received stations, not reset the maps.

[Xastir] Basic Questions
I'm running the lastest rev. On a Mac and I've gotten things working somewhat. I do have some questions though. 1. Does anyone have some examples of how to configure the TNC on a Kenwood TS-2000? 2. I have the OSM map up for my area but all that I get are lines with numbers. How do I get the objects and call signs to display? 3. How do I clear the map so that I can start fresh? If someone could point me in the right directon, it would be greatly appreciated. Tom, KF6KYD ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
