aprs password for app_gps

Chuck_Henderson · January 23, 2011, 10:53am

I would like to set up my allstarlink system to report position information to the aprs system.

Can someone tell me how to set up this password? Also, are the default server and port listed in the example below what should be used?

I have searched the aprs site and couldn’t find who to request this information from.

Well – Google found this

http://zielkeassociates.com/~jack/aprs-xo/aprspass/

I took the first link provided and looked at the first few entries and there are emails for sysops who will give you a “passcode”

Apparently the passcode is generated from an algorithm using your call+SSID as input.

I have not tried it (yet)

The heck with all this confusion regarding APRS passwords!!

I just reverse engineered the password algorithm and will make
a password generator (and will also automatically generate a password
for Portal-generate configurations).

Okay, the web site now has automatic APRS password generation for Web-based
configurations, and a page to do it manually (under “server”).

The protocol is quite simple and the source for callpass is included in
the xastir source. Though, reverse engineering it seems a lot more fun

How do I configure this so it can work or, if that isn’t what it is about, then how do I get rid of the warning?

The protocol is quite simple and the source for callpass is included in
the xastir source. Though, reverse engineering it seems a lot more fun

The heck with all this confusion regarding APRS passwords!!

I just reverse engineered the password algorithm and will make
a password generator (and will also automatically generate a password

for Portal-generate configurations).

The APRS-IS password could be generated using the callpass utility that
comes with xastir.

I would like to set up my allstarlink system to report position
information
to the aprs system.

Can someone tell me how to set up this password? Also, are the
default
server and port listed in the example below what should be used?
I have searched the aprs site and couldn’t find who to request this

information from.

; Configuration for app_gps

[general]

call = wb9uus-2 ; callsign (including SSID) for APRS
purposespassword
= 12345 ; Password for APRS-IS server for above callsign

comment = AllStar Node 27468 ; Text to be displayed associated with
this
station*server = second.aprs.net ; APRS-IS server to report

information

to**port = 10151 ; port on server to send data*
icon = r ; A CAR (default) Icon do be displayed for station on
APRS

comport = /dev/ttyS0 ; Serial port for GPS receiver (specify this
only
if using GPS receiver)
baudrate = 4800 ; Baud rate for GPS receiver (specify this only if

using GPS receiver)
;debug = y ; set this for debug output
freq=442.700 ; Display Frequency of station
tone=107.2 ; CTCSS tone of station (0.0 for none)

lat=40.508 ; Fixed (default) latitude in decimal degrees
lon=-88.988 ; Fixed (default) longitude in decimal degrees
elev=123.4 ; Elevation of Antenna in Meters (NOT HAAT)

power=9 ; Power level (see below)

There have (obviously) been some changes/improvements made to the
Echolink and APRS/GPS subsystems within app_rpt.

Included in these is the ability for a node to report its “fixed”
GPS
coordinates
to the APRS network, even if it does not have a GPS receiver

connected.

Please see the following:

Of course, the latest copies of app_gps and chan_echolink need to be
downloaded from the SVN.

seeing the same thing…

Also...is there any variable possible to set to cut down the

reporting interval? For a stationary system…like a
repeater…every 30 seconds seems a bit much (maybe if it was
located on the San Andreas fault, it would be moving, though…;))

could you send me a tarball of your entire /etc/asterisk directory, so that I may duplicate
the problem here?

Thanks

Since adding the gps.conf, which is working and puts me on the aprs maps, I started getting the following messages on the console….
