[Xastir] xastir and aprsd

[Han Sytsma]

Hi Dana,

I have about the same situation here, instead of the ax0 device my APRS data
is comming in through a bpq0 (ethernet) device, comming from a local node
with many ax25 devices.
I did connect the ax25 device to aprsd, xastir gets its data from the aprsd
server as a internet server. In my case aprsd is 24 hrs/day on line. When I
start xastir on one of the machines it picks up the data collected by aprsd
for the last hour.
Secondly I coupled java-aprs to my local website, using aprsd to provide the
data stream.

This does not prevent you to use the ax25 device at the same time to xastir,
sometimes I activate the bpq0 device in xastir to do some tests, so aprsd
and xastir are using the same port at the same time.
If you have enabled tcp/ip through your ax25 device you could as well use
aprsd to provide the local hams with a aprsd info so when they log on they
get info from the last hour (depends on what you configured).

Hi all,

I have a question.  I currently run aprsd on my Linux router to feed 
xastir on multiple machines around my house.  I currently do not run 
any RF.  That is about to change as I added a DRSI card to my router 
and hooked up a radio.  I now have an active AX.25 device on ax0.  Now 
for the question, should I bind the AX.25 device to the aprsd server or 
to xastir?  I do want to provide relay service for the local hams as I 
sit on top of the highest location for about 50 miles.

It appears to me that I can probably do this with either program but I 
wonder what others have done.  It would be silly to run RF on both 
aprsd and xastir so I'm curious as to which option others have selected 
any why.

Thanks,
Dana  N1OFZ
