In the 2.0c the APRS function does not like APRS packets when APRS is not configured (my presumption). It crashes jnos.<BR>
Try the following in autoexec.nos after configuring the ports:<BR>
<BR>
# NOTE: two bug avoidance specials follow...<BR>
# Disable beacon on HF to avert bug known in 2005 / repaired per jnos2.0e<BR>
ax25 bcport ptcpro off<BR>
mbox mport ptcpro off<BR>
# Set APRS - specify only one to avoid crash from bug repaied in jnos2.0d#?<BR>
aprs logon call k8rra<BR>
