From Andrew:

==============================================================
Greetings, all.

My, the feature requests are coming fast, but here’s the new build of YAAC with the latest changes. It can be downloaded from the usual websites:

http://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yetanotheraprsc

The new features and fixes include:

1. support for full UTF-8 messaging, including the ability to select display fonts to use a font that can display other language’s characters.

2. only view “dead” objects when clicking on the map if the user has explicitly selected viewing killed objects.

3. add new pages to the mini-webserver to display the current station/object list, current messages, and current bulletin board.

Enjoy, everybody, and keep those feature requests coming!

Andrew Pavlin, KA2DDO

P.S. I do plan on getting that video out that I promised on YAAC. Been laid up with a fracture of the greater tuberosity of the left humerus. Sounds fun…. getting better though.

On another note, I do plan on the instruction video of this fine new client. The map install is quite different that any other APRS client out there. I the started a video on the previous version but had a hard drive crash. Of course I hadn’t updated my image in two months so that was lost. Stay Tuned!

The KD4MOJ-5 APRS digi has been relocated from Quincy to Greensboro. The Quincy tower was removed for a housing development and the Mojo-5 has been off the air for some time now. The new digi location is on a Sprint tower @ 225 ft along I-10 courtesy of K4GFD.

You can click this link to see the new location.
