looking at alternatives to Xastir for an APRS client and ran
across YAAC. The only mailing list I found was for Alpha testers
on Yahoo groups. Of course Yahoo groups is a dying animal, so I
thought I'd try here.
<br>
<br>
My first issue in setting up YAAC is with my hardware. I have an
old original MFJ-1274(NO suffix) TNC2 clone. It does not do KISS,
so I'm wondering if it will work with YAAC. Still looking for up
to date documentation.
<br>
<br>
After setting this up on my base, I am planning to use it mobile
with an RPi and TNC-Pi.
<br>
<br>
Looking for any comments, experiences, etc.

<p>Try using DireWolf or the UZ7HO Soundmodem instead of the archaic
40-year-old hardware TNC2 device. These soundcard soft TNCs have
infinitely better performance on weak marginal signals than legacy
hardware --and-- present both AGWpe and KISS-over-IP interfaces to
applications. They also eliminate a box and the nearly half-amp @
12VDC power drain of the TNC2. <br>
</p>
<p>Note that the UZ7HO Soundmodem is a Windows application (though I
have heard it can be made to work in Linux with a Wine kludge).
DireWolf is available in native versions for both Windows and
Linux -- i.e. would be usable on the Pi.<br>
</p>
<p>If you really want to use the legacy MFJ-1274, replace it's MFJ
firmware eproms with the final release of the generic TAPR TNC2
firmware (ver 1.1.9) which DOES have KISS mode. I've put
this in numerous MFJ TNC2 clones and it works just fine.<br>
