https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1016089 Spec URL: http://hobbes1069.fedorapeople.org//aprsdigi.spec SRPM URL: http://hobbes1069.fedorapeople.org//aprsdigi-3.5.1.tar.gz Description: Aprsdigi is a specialized Amateur Packet Radio (AX.25) UI-frame digipeater for the Automatic Position Reporting System, APRS(tm). Aprsmon collects and displays standard AX.25 UI text frames in a format similar to that output by a standard TNC in "Monitor ON" mode and is intended to be used with programs like javAPRS which wish to see a TNC data stream over a TCP connection. Should be a very simple review.... Thanks, Richard KF5OIM

Introduction, better late than never
by Richard Shaw Oct. 4, 2013

Since there has been a little activity on the list lately I figured I would introduce myself. I've been using RH/Fedora since RH 6.0 but came back to linux around the time Fedora 10 was released. A couple of years ago (Maybe 3 now?) I became a Fedora packager and a little later one at RPM Fusion. I became a "ham" in Feb 2012 (my dad, NF4H, has been one since before I was born) and finally got into digital about 8 months ago after building a interface box for my old Ten-Tec 540. Since it wasn't designed for digital I had to got beyond a simple serial PTT and included a relay to swtich from the mic to the computer and a 90dB attenuator since it's a mic level input. Works pretty good! I now help maintain several ham related packages... fldigi, nec2c, xnec2c, LinLog, hamlib (for EPEL 6), and qsstv. On a side note I've got fldigi in EPEL 6 but it's stuck at 3.21.72 because the newer versions dropped support for fltk 1.1 and one of the maintainers of a package that depends on fltk doesn't want to deal with updating his packages to work with fltk 1.3. Thanks, Richard KF5OIM

Hello all, This is KG4SGP, Jimmy Carter. I just started maintaining a package called minimodem (General Purpose audio FSK modem) and was wondering if you all thought it should be added to the list of packages for the Special Interest Group. KG4SGP - Jim
