You're trying to send xastir_udp_client only the APRS data, whereas you really have to fake out the entire TNC2-style packet. xastir_udp_client localhost 2023 KN4QD PASS "KN4QD>APX201::BLNC :test test test test" So you're missing the KN4QD> source address, the APX201 TOCALL (or whatever TOCALL you choose to use), and the double colon indicating the end of the header *and* the "APRS Message" data type. Sorry it took so long to respond. It took me a little while to work out what was expected as the "APRS packet goes here" argument for xastir_udp_client. If you do the whole fake packet (including to and from addresses, and the extra colon), the bulletin/announcement *will* show up in Xastir. Note that Xastir will NOT adopt the message as if it were its own, and will not re-transmit it on the decaying interval that it would do for its own messages. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
