A while ago I wrote something about the NinoTNC.
There are some Dutch Radio amateurs who have ordered them.
Now I came across some pictures of a Dutch Radio Amateur who own and build the NinoTNC.
Impressive……
Direwolf <> Kpc9612
Today I made a comparison between Direwolf and a KPC9612. Now I have to say that it is difficult to compare. As the first set I use a KPC9612 and a Yaesu 7900 with an x30 as antenna and as software PinPoint Aprs Client for Windows. As the second set I use a Realistic pro 2006 scanner with an x50 as antenna and Direwolf. These antennas are at the same height.
Now I am very impressed with Direwolf, it seems that my KPC9612 is completely deaf. I clearly hear the packet signal but there is no decode. Unfortunately I don’t have two the same sets and two the same antennas to make the comparison better. But it is very clear here that Direwolf wins big.
Below you can see the difference between the setups. The Communication monitor is from PinPoint Aprs Client, the rest is from direwolf and some aprs parsing.
Okay, I know the comparison isn’t entirely fair. But for me Direwolf is the big winner.
Pinpoint Windows Aprs Client
I was playing with uiview32, but I was very bothered by the map that comes with uiview32. So I went looking for another Aprs client for windows. I ended up at PinPoint. In PinPoint you can choose from 40 different Map providers. Very nice.
I am satisfied with how it works. It is clear and fast. Only found out if at “Tools> Options” something changes you have to close the program and restart. There is also something disturbing, if you close the program and restart you have lost the received aprs messages. Very annoying.

Uronode 2.11
Brian N1URO, has released Uronode 2.11 (Mar 03, 2020)
Changelog
03/03/2020 v2.11 Changed node.h to reflect current version. Note: The system has been behaving as best as it can be expected considering it`s a front-end to the linux protocol stacks. As long as there can be an ax# or sp# interface, it can attach to it and work the protocol(s) the user wishes to use. There`s still the 2-line patch that the kernel maintainers need to add to ax25.ko so that netrom will continue to properly function however that`s not the issue of URONode, it`s the kernel ax25 module. Made a couple of changes in gateway.c where the color schema wasn`t properly resetting the netrom prompt only in regards to aborting ping or a connect request. This is now fixed. Made changes in system.c where it wasn`t displaying the user being on IPv6 properly. While at it, I changed how it handles the user when they`re on IPv4 in the lastlog and loggedin databases. Changed user.c to reflect incoming session is via IPv6 which also fixes the output of nodeusers so that instead of displaying ??????? it now shows that Telnet6 is being used as the incoming protocol. This one was really getting under my skin. Now I can rest in peace (as per QST 2/2020 haha!) ----------- Note on SystemD -------- In uronode.socket, you`ll notice the line: ListenStream=0.0.0.0:3694 This tells SystemD to listen on TCP socket 3694 for any IPv4 ONLY incoming connection. If you wish to filter JUST your amprnet and IPv4 localhost IPs make a line for each changing 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 and another for your amprnet IP. This will by default filter any commercial IP requests to URONode. If you want SystemD to try IPv6 *first*, don`t enter in any IP schemas and just list the port number. SystemD by default appears to use IPv6 prior to IPv4. You can verify the above by running systemctl status uronode.socket: systemctl status uronode.socket ● uronode.socket - URONode Server Activation Socket Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/uronode.socket; enabled) Active: active (listening) since Mon 2016-03-07 15:30:39 EST; 6min ago Listen: 0.0.0.0:3694 (Stream) Accepted: 3; Connected: 1 ----------- Wish-list: ----------- ---------------------------------- Original Development Information (aka Disclaimer): URONode was developed on an IBM eSeries 330 eServer with dual 1.2GHz CPUs The OS is Debian Linux 4 using kernel 2.4.27, libax25 v0.0.11, ax25-tools v0.0.8 and ax25-apps v0.0.6. This software comes with absolutely NO guarantees so crash n burn at your own risk. We all may be surprised and find out that it actually DOES something useful! URONode may not run 100% depending on environmental conditions specific to your system. URONode is GLPv2 code, and tested by it`s main author on the following platforms: Raspberry Pi ver. B, Debian 7.7 on a Core-i3, Ubuntu 12.0.4LTS on a Core-i3, Fedora ver. 21

Jnos start with screen
Jimmy K3CHB, Was looking at how he could get a restart option in Jnos in combination with “screen”.
Below how he did it.
