Furthermore these rx-only igates are breaking the R-I-R link, impossible to get-back “ack” for instance… all theses sdr-dongle igates are painful… 73 de Cyril - DF1CHB/AM - F1MHV/M > Le 9 juin 2018 à 21:54, Kurt a écrit : > > Why not simply ditch the Yaesu radios.

Re: [Xastir] Yaesu APRS radios to be used as an RX-only Igate
Why not simply ditch the Yaesu radios. They never got aprs right. The vx-8gr at least allow the waypoints to be pulled off the port using the same cable that is used for the Kenwood D7 series and pipe the strings to an aprs program. One still did not have full access to the TNC but could still get a spatial orientation on a map.

APRS-enabled Yaesu radios have always been limited in the fashion that you cannot access the TNC say like how you can with a Kenwood radio. One feature they do have is to send the APRS data stream to the serial port. This developer wrote a program to parse that data and send the relevant data to APRS-IS.

The following HOST would just point to 127.0.0.1. I making an assumption the code is running on your Xastir PC. Another assumption is that whatever it takes to run the code is also on the PC.
