Re: [Xastir] Xastir not playing nice

I don't know whether a KPC-3 or KPC-3+ is supposed to continue beaconing in that case. Seems like it though (for TNC command-mode). If you are going into KISS mode, using either Serial KISS or AX.25 interfaces in Xastir, then Xastir would be the one doing it all for you. On Sat, Dec 19, 2015 at

Re: [Xastir] Using GeoPDF maps experience

Could you post the details of what you are doing and exactly how. I would like to pull down and convert a state or two. On 12/20/2015 3:31 PM, ZPO wrote: Answered my own question.. All the files are zipped. Once unzipped they will have names of the form "OR_Arlington_20140731_TM_geo.pdf".

Re: [Xastir] Xastir not playing nice

Pure speculation, but I wonder if the flow control settings for the serial port are wrong if you could "hang up" the KPC-3 waiting for data. If data is going out from xastir over the interface that probably wouldn't be it though. - Jason On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 3:39 PM Curt Mills

Re: [Xastir] GeoPDF try

I used: http://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=262:1:0 Which allowed me to easily request a listing for a full state, 24K scale, and USTopo. From there you can download a CSV and strip it down to only the current release (sort on "Version") and delete all the fields other than the download link. From

Re: [Xastir] Sharing serial port with Xastir

Xastir isn't set up to do such things. If you are doing scripting and want full control of what you send out, I'd suggest setting the TNC up as a KISS TNC, then setting up AX.25 networking in Linux. You can then set up Xastir to talk to the AX.25 port. This lets you share the port among multiple

Re: [Xastir] Kubuntu _and_ Raspberry Pi build fails

More to the story, folks. It's been a while, but I'm still on the case. I went through a laborious process: clear off a 4GB USB stick for mkusb to create a Kubuntu 15.04 stick (non-persistent) to then create a persistent 15.04 USB stick (8MB, which left me enough room to play. It has all I
