Well every time I try to connect to my UI-VIEW APRS Server it says TCP
Open failed. Do you know if MacAPRS is compatible with UI-View?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/23/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ron Cluster</b> <<a href="mailto:rcluster@rgisp.com">rcluster@rgisp.com</a>

<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Well, it's
been a while. I think I had to create a textfile with the server address and
port in it. Copied the one that came with the program and changed the copy to
what I wanted. Restart the program and then I could choose that server. Pretty
clunky, just like WinAPRS.</font></span></div><span class="q">

<div>Also what maps did you use with it?<span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial"> </font></span></div>

<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">I think it's
designed to use the downloadable tiger map data. I tried one, seemed like a huge
amount of work if you wanted street level detail for the US and Canada. Not to
mention the storage space and download time. Doesn't support the newest version
of Precision Mapping (Version 7). It also can use the old DosAPRS,
WinAPRS, MacAPRS simple line maps. </font></span></div><span class="q">

<div>One more thing I can't find the carbon release anymore.<br><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial"> </font></span></div></span>

you there. It took me about a week of playing with it to decide that I didn't
need to waste anymore time on it.</font></span></div>

<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">If I was
going to run APRS on my Mac, I would run UI-View32 (Donationware) with Precision
Mapping 7 ($50) under virtual PC (Don't recall the price). I did a month long
test on an older Mac laptop running OS 10.3.7. No serial port so I had to use a
USB to Serial converter (Keyspan, the only way to go). TNC was a KPC3+ v8.3
with a homemade splitter cable that connects the radio and gps to same DB9
connector on the TNC. It worked perfectly, with the added benefit of being
able to just restart the Windows emulator if Windows crashed, which it did a
couple of times. Obviously at home, you wouldn't need the gps so you could do
this with just about any TNC. If it supports KISS, that's even better because
then UI-View32 has the capability of becoming a fill-in WIDE1-1 digi or a
complete "new paradigm" WIDEn-N digi.</font></span></div>

reason I'm not doing this is my laptop is a Windows box, and I have a dedicated
