have no idea what you are referring to. AGWTracker is one file. You need AGWPE
as a sound card TNC or to interface to a hardware TNC. If you want to be an
IGate or Digi, then you download AGWUIDigi. <BR><BR>It is no different than all
the modules that I downloaded for UI-View. The difference is that someone is
actually supporting AGWTracker.<BR><BR>$49 if you want to register. Roger used
to charge for his product also. The only reason UIV is free is that it is a
dead, unsupported, orphaned product. <BR><BR>It's nice that AGWTracker has
active development. UI-View cannot, it will not be enhanced, it may not run on
future operating systems....in other words, it is stuck in
time.<BR><BR>AGWTracker runs on my Windows 7 system all the time. I don't have
to reboot, it takes very little memory. It runs with AGWUIDigi, DVAP Software,
Echolink, WinLink, and an assortment of Multimode programs without any issues at
all. Never a lock-up.<BR><BR>You might want to check your system if you are
having all those issues and need to do a weekly reboot. Something is not
right.<BR><BR>Duffy<BR><A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated

<DIV>The problem I had with APRSIS and still have with it, is that it won’t
handle my weather data from Weather Display like UI-View does, it seems to
slowly drift off and stop receiving packets, I don’t know why but it works for
a while then just slowly dies, but I can close it and open UI-View and the TNC
is still sending in KISS to the computer just fine. Ok on the igate
stuff, too complicated, I set up the igate on UI-View with a few mouse
clicks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh and UI-View is FREE, the addon map server is FREE, and the maps are
FREE. I don’t know why everyone seems to think it costs money. All
you need is the PA7RHM map server, works great, zoom in and out, pan around,
does it all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another comment on AGWTracker... $49 for something that is bloated.
That’s another problem, want to do this, oh download another file, want to do
that, download another file. I had to download a half dozen different
things and it never did igate correctly and the weather data always
dissapeared.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I run UI-View 24/7 on a Win 7 computer that is dedicated to it and a ton
of other functions. One computer does my weather station, igate, digi,
two scanner feeds to radioreference, weather webcam to weatherunderground and
my website, and echolink to my repeater for linking with other area
repeaters. Gets rebooted once a week on Sunday for updates and other
than that it just hums along. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I tried AGW it would randomly lock up, too much memory use.</DIV>
