Hi John and All..
My TNC-X with USB fully built and tested arrived on Fridays mail
10 days from the USA is excellent

as a Linux operator for about 15 years and using Ubuntu 12.04
i was wondering how the TNC-X would work with Xastir Aprs software

i had been using a old Paccomm TNC-320 in Kiss mode for many years but 
it was showing its age.Took it out of service plugged in the 5 pin din 
from the radio then a USB cable to the computer...reset the USB port in 
Xastir and WOW it was working...

the FTDI drivers are in the Linux kernel so no d/l and setup there

i have found its also very much more sensitive than the old tncwill 
decode signals down at strength 3 from the Yaesu FT2800M


to say that im very happy is an under statement
Thank you John for a great little product and great service

if you run Linux and are looking for a good Tnc i would recomend the TNC-X

p.s Look for my Igate at QH30hs just North of Townsville in Sunny North 
Queensland Australia

Re: [Xastir] GeoTiffs was Segfault on indexing maps

2012-09-17 Thread Liz 

 
 FWIW, the limitations of what Xastir can use for GeoTIFFs and how to
 rework unusable GeoTIFFs to be usable with Xastir are described in
 the README.MAPS file.  This file should be installed
 in /usr/share/doc/xastir by a binary package, or
 in /usr/local/share/doc/xastir for a source install.
 

I'm passing this problem to the trained assistant. I think he
understands this far better that me  ;)

  Now I can see the errors for the GeoTiffs 
  
  *** geoTIFF file /usr/share/xastir/maps/tif/8231s.tif is not in the
  proper format: * Has 3 samples per pixel instead of 1
  *** Please reformat it and try again.  
 
 That's easy to deal with.  Install gdal, then use rgb2pct.py (a
 python script installed by gdal) to dither the 3-band, 24-bit color
 image (RGB) to an 8-bit color map (pct = Pseudo Color Table).

This stopped the obvious error messages but still no map loaded.
I hadn't tried any debugging from xastir as previously advised so I am
passing the problem to the family GIS service.

 I have the instructions  for cvs install for Debian Squeeze seems to be out 
 of date
 http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Debian_Squeeze

I have built Xastir using those instructions several times - it's also
what I use to build the deb files that are working (with one slight
modification so that the default prefix is /usr instead of /usr/local
so that my deb files install in the same location as the official ones
from Debian).  Debian Squeeze (stable) hasn't changed much, so what is
out of date with the HowTo?

If you were referring to the GeoTiff issue, that's just a conversion
issue from 24 bit to 8 bit as Tom pointed out - has nothing to do with
the instructions to build Xastir from source.

Thanks,
