Objects and items upgrade on aprs.fi maps

[Pierre F5OPV]

Hi everybody,

it seems to me that objects and items comments aren't upgraded on aprs.fi maps,
though they are on aprs-is network. (cf station F5OPV-Wx1 below)

Any way to get it upgraded, Hessu ?

Thanks a lot for your answer

Hi,

F5OPV-Wx1 is using a weather station symbol, and the APRS parser used by
aprs.fi (Ham::APRS::FAP, open source) does not parse comments and comment
extensions for weather stations - instead, it tries to interpret it as
weather data:

http://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=F5OPV-IOT&limit=5&view=decoded

This is apparently to avoid ambiguity between weather parsing and other
information stored in the comment; for example, a car's course and speed
can be encoded the same way as a weather stations' wind direction and
speed. It's a bit silly, but the APRS specification (APRS101.PDF) says "In
this case, the Weather Report is identified with the weather symbol /_ or
\_ in the APRS Data." - the symbol is actually used to decide weather the
packet is parsed as a weather report or not.

I'll discuss with Tapio, who originally wrote that code, and other parser
authors if that can be relaxed.

In the mean time, you can switch the symbol character to something else
than '_' to have comments parsed.

and this was the link I actually wanted to paste, pointing to the code:

https://github.com/hessu/perl-aprs-fap/blob/master/FAP.pm#L1477

The decoded format shows that the 'comment' field was not decoded from the
packet, due to the WX symbol.

Thank you Hessu for links about FAP and traffic analysis sentence I didn't knew .

I will change aprs symbol for wx item.

Hats off for the quality of your aprs.fi website.
Find it very promising for Hamradio Internet Objects display (wx, telemetry, sms, remote control and monitoring of ham gear, .............) .
