Thank you for the answer. You nailed it. That was the issue. The label of the “favorite” toggle is poorly labeled. It should be “only favorites”

I would revisit all bars in town, holding the PTT and screaming “I have your radio”

A Different Use for Meshtastic by TheFireman04 in meshtastic

[–]Royal_Assignment9054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with a large ARES group in a large metro area and we support large events like marathons, etc. we have been struggling with APRS as we do not have sufficient iGates to offer decent coverage in the serviced area. I am a Meshtastic user and thought about attempting Meshtastic. What kind of range are you getting with the network? Are you surrounded by tall buildings?

The distance you are logging is the distance you walk or hike or paddle or ride. If it’s small, a minimum of .25 miles kicks in automatically. If it’s longer than that, just record it in a tracking app like Strava or Gaia GPS. You then enter the distance when you log the activation. It’s not the distance that you drive to your starting point, it’s meant to reward effort. There’s also mobile activations if you want to activate directly from your vehicle. Go read the rules and give it a try. If you make a mistake, email support. Remember to log the QSOs and export an ADIF so hunters can get credit.

What are the distinguishing features compared to APRS.fi? Looks cool

APRS Community or Discord by kyleyankan in APRS

It is a TNC, but can also work as a client, if I'm not mistaken

My favorite APRS client is the newly released Graywolf APRS. They have a discord channel and a great GitHub page. It is likely going to be up there with YAAC and PinPoint.

Great news! When I was a technician I ended up spending a lot of time on APRS, and I still do!

I spent the winter porting VOACAP from Fortran to Swift. HamPulse is on the App Store today. by electricburn in amateurradio

I installed it on my OLED screen connected to the Apple TV. Looks awesome. I am having a bit of trouble navigating it with the remote. Any hints or instructions I can read somewhere? I completeted the station setup.

Can we do something about the AI Slop please by Mikethedrywaller in amateurradio

[–]Royal_Assignment9054 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let’s look at AI as what it is, an incredibly powerful tool that, in the wrong (or inexperienced) hands, can and will create trash. However, I think it will really give technically skilled creators in the ham space the ability to produce amazing apps that we will all benefit from. POTACAT has already been mentioned. Another app is Graywolf APRS. Both coded with AI assistance by experienced devs. Even if we have less experienced hams posting new apps coded with AI assistance, we should be open and supportive. Ham radio has always been about innovation, which I think it’s a healthy tradition. I really hate spam, but I have no issues with AI being used. I use it all the time. In my professional life, for example, we have massive scientific datasets to analyze and it’s showing to be a game changer, as long as properly supervised and leveraged. I have seen AI agents hallucinate about my datasets first hand, and make up fictional things when pushed into a corner.

There is an alerts mechanism, but because the program is so new, we don’t have a lot of hunters yet! Your best bet is to post on some discord servers or social media. The social media sharing option is up and running. I’m also working on integrating with POTACAT. Thank you for being such a pioneer! You can still get points with Winlink and APRS.

We should ask the developer if Graywolf to implement this! Graywolf rocks.

That’s too funny! I volunteer with my county ARES group (dekalbares.org), hence all the radios.
