[Xastir] Xastir - ArgentData Tracker3 - DR-135T

[qrv at kd4e.com]

Thanks for the assist!

When I enter:

"/usr/sbin/kissparms  -p 2  -t 20  -s 10  -r 32  -l 20  -f n"

... the response is:

"axconfig: port 1 not active"


>> "kisattach /dev/ttyACM0 2 12.34.56.78"
>>
>> ... to which the response was:
>>
>> "AX.25 port 2 bound to device ax0"
>>
>> I then opened Xastir where I had previously set my call,
>> coordinates, etc.
>>
>> I am not seeing any APRS messages nor do I see how to
>> initiate one - it is unclear if Xastir even sees the
>> Tracker 3 or if the Tracker 3 sees the DR-135T.

>> I can view findu stations on the Xastir map - but that's
