Hello everyone good night, sorry I have a problem in the installation and execution of DIXPRS in my node IRLP with debian 7 nothing but what I did was decompressed the program in the path: / usr / local / dixprs and edit the config file kiss.txt-pedia settings with me. 

I want to use a PK-232 TNC Pakratt connected to the serial port COM1. 

Also install the python with apt-get install python command, but when you run the command as root: 
cd / usr / local / dixprs 
python-s dixprs.py config.txt 

I get the following error: 

file "dixprs.py", line 25, in <module> 
import dixagwpe 
File "/ usr / local / dixprs / dixpagwpe.py line 17, in <module> 
import dixpcommon 
File "/ usr / local / dixprs / dixpcommon.py, line 19 in <module> 
import dixpkiss 
File "/ usr / dixprs / dixpkiss.py", line 11, in <module> 
import serial 
ImportError: no module named serial. 

That's what I need to do to work this wonderful program, thank you very much for helping me.

Victor,

what is the error message? A screen capture would help. Also please share your DIXPRS config file. Need more info to find out what is wrong.

Bela Hi good afternoon, sorry and could run the DIXPRS on my Laptop with Windows 7, but my station (XE1DGC-10) does not appear in the correct coordinates me that I can do it then appears in the right place?. 

Oh and one additional question about the error that appears in Debian me that recommendation I do to make it work in my IRLP node, so use the same PC for both uses.

Greetings hug, Thanks.

Hello bela good day so is the DIXPRS this working in Windows, all functions are working less well the location, since my actual location is that the - 10 appears on my XE1DGC (without number) object, this appearing in an incorrect location.Already check with a GPS and the coordinates are correct in the config file, nothing more than transmitting the DIXPRS changed position me the coordinates.What could be doing wrong? You need photos and GPS coordinates to give a minor correction or I recommend to use a previous version? Right now I'm using 2.2.2 version.Greetings thank you.

Atte.

Victor,

if position is not correct, check DIXPRS config file. Longitude and latitude are decimal values, not degrees with minutes. I guess it is the issue.

I do not understand your question, sorry. Can you explain a bit more?

Victor,

regarding your first question, do you mean logging of packets received on a radio port or something else? If you enable sending of packets in UDP to our server, you can see all received packets with a WEB browser at

http://udplog1.dixprs.net:8880/

Thanks bela by information, after a while activated it in my igate, only that my question was more to see stations that is receiving RF my igate, or the DIXPRS create a log file, like for when there is a special event, keep a record of those systems.If you've seen how it works with the webs uiview duty? This shows the stations receiving the igate, which logical your software is complete just the best you'll gradually improving it, I really am fascinated with the operation of the DIXPRS.In my igate is working very well, is very configurable and garter belt, I'm very but it very contented to have your software running on my workstation.Bela thank you very much.

Victor,

are you looking for the list of stations received directly? Use the ?aprsd command; it will show list of stations heard in last hour:

This information is available via the WEB interface when enabled.
