Hi Jim: Thanks for the info which was quite helpful: I have tried some of your recommendations with good results but more testing to do. I will publish more information later for anyone interested in adding this feature to their nodes, a great enhancement!!!! Mike WB9SLI Node 27558 On Dec 17, 2011, at 4:07 PM, Jim Duuuude wrote:

Without spending a lot of time (which I dont have) to rigorously re-figure out exactly what all this stuff means, I will give you some background information, and let you experiment with it and see what you get out of it. Please share your findings.
First of all, the app_gps module supports multiple "gps" personalities.
The "default" personality is the one normally referred to in the gps.conf file. Additional personalities may also be specified in the file with different stanza names.
Here is an example of my gps.conf file (with the password omitted):
; Configuration for app_gps ; [general]
call = A2115-1 password = XXXXX interval = 600 icon = r comment = AllStar Link Node server = second.aprs.net port = 14580 ;comport = /dev/ttyS0 baudrate = 4800 ;debug = y ; set this for debug output lat=37.153 lon=-119.4218 elev=123.69 power=2 height=1 gain=7 dir=0
[gene]
call = A2115-2 interval = 600 icon = r comment = AllStar Link Node lat=37.153 lon=-119.4218 elev=123.69 power=2 height=1 gain=7 dir=0
This file is in use for my 2 site voter/simulcast system here in Coarsegold. The [general] (default) personality is my main site at my QTH. The [gene] personality is the other site at the QTH of Gene, KE6YMW.
I am using this in this manner, to represent the locations of the 2 site of my voter/simulcast system, and not primarily for ARPStt use. However, the APRStt functionality *is* working for the main site.
In the rpt.conf (and voter.conf) files, the various app_gps personalities are referred to by their stanza name. or blank for the default ([general]) stanza.
So, in the stanza for your node number in rpt.conf, to use the main app_gps personality, you would include the following line:
aprstt=
If, for example, you wanted to use the [gene] personality, instead, you would include the following line:
aprstt=gene
In addition, the following configuration parameters that have to do with APRStt may optionally be included in any of the stanzas in the gps.conf file:
ttlat=XXXX ttlon=XXXX ttlist=XXXX ttoffset=XXXX ttsplit=(y/n)
The APRStt stuff generates a list of Callsigns associated with a station's location. What they want you to do is place the origin position (lat/lon) of the list *near* the station, but not directly on top of it, since the list would obscure the station entry (on a map) itself.
These parameters have default values, which place the list some amount of space away from the station, and make the list do default kinds of things. I'm not sure whether these defaults are sane and/or resonable, but they are, at least, defaults.
ttlat and ttlon allow specification of the station list's origin in absolute lat/lon position.
ttlist. ttoffset and ttsplit speficy (somehow) the spacing and orientation of each entry in the station list, relative to the specified (or default) origin position. ttsplit, specifies that the list should center around the origin, rather then start at the origin.
In addition of accepting the standard (rather cumbersome) APRStt key signon sequence, we also support the cop,63 function, which allows you to specify a normal DTMF function to log in a particular user (for APRStt) with of without a sub-id (or whatever those things are).
Here is an example from my [functions] stanza:
900=cop,63,wb6nil,1 901=cop,63,wa6aaa
*900 loggs in wb6nil with sub-whatever-it-is-id of 1 *900 loggs in wa6aaa with no sub-whatever-it-is
Thats about all I know (or remember at this point).
Play with it, see what it does, and let me know.

I have read on some websites that an APRStt function was being added to Allstar. I have not seen any documentation or information on the progress of this feature. I would like to add this to my node and would appreciate any help or information on implementing this feature if it is available.
