[K4RY] APRS Station update..

[John Hung]

The program UI-View32 was running under a "limited" account in Windows.  The account was changed to have "administrator" privileges, and it seems the problems have gone away.  As it was explained to me, the program probably needed to open/create/write log files, but was inhibited by running under a "limited" account.  Prior to this, the program was running under my university "login", so the issues of privileges never came up.  When the computer was changed to a different network a couple months back, the new default setup was a "limited" account. I'm not an operating system guru, so you're getting the layman's understanding of the issue.

Glad to hear it is working.  What was wrong so we can learn from the corrections?

I don't ever remember seeing a KPC-3+ in Broun 411.  I think I had to fix some of the wiring on the  current interface cables a while back for workmanship, but it was certainly to a KPC-2, not a -3+.

I would very much doubt that the AHAB effort would have the KPC-3+ that you mention - there would not have been a need.  AHAB has been pretty much swimming in KPC-3+'s for the ground stations since most of the airborne units have gone to self-contained beacons or Tiny-TNCs which are significantly smaller and more power-efficient.

I do seem to remember something changing about the server around that time driven by engineering IT, but I was not involved with it.  If Jimmy Hicks is monitoring here, he may remember something about that.  Jimmy was club president when I moved here late summer of 2008, prior to Stephen Ritz moving into that role.

We all appreciate your help.  I guess I have to get my Tiny-TNC car tracker put back in the car.

Subject: [K4RY] APRS Station update..

Greetings,

Kyle and I spent some time going over the APRS set up. My home station answered a ping
request from the K4RY station and last night when I got home, I got a message from Kyle
sent via APRS on the RF Side. I was also able to ping K4RY from home by using the
KE4LTT-2 Digi  25 miles to the west.  K4RY is also now beaconing it’s status on the
RF Side.   More testing and evaluation to follow. So far, so good.

I also donated my old KPC-2 to the club. It’s on the shelf.  It was working the last time
that I tried it. I recall that I recovered a Kantronics KPC-3+ when I recovered the club
equipment that was stolen. All I see now in the shack is an older Kantronics KPC-2.
I was surprised to not see the KPC-3+ in the shack. Anybody, past or present, know what
happened to it? Is it being used by the balloon team?

Additionally, the K4RY archives for this listserver is missing all of its achives from 2000-
2008. Did a server get swapped out?

Respectfully,
Mike
