How to download the Tier 2 APRS servers port list into UI-View

  • Make sure that no other Setup window in UI-View is open, especially not Setup/APRS Server Setup
  • If your PC has a firewall or sits behind a proxy server, please read this post by Dave, G0WBX
  • Make sure that the file Uiview32.ini is not write protected
  • Go to the main screen, File, Download APRS Server List
  • You will most likely see this window:

#########

  • Paste the following text behind the http://
    france.aprs2.net/APRServe2.txt

#########

  • Click 'Download'.

The file contains comment lines. UI-View recognizes this and will ask you if you want to see them. Please look at them and answer with 'yes'. Your default text editor (notepad) will open a window for you to read the text. After reading you can close the text editor without further action.

The server list will then be available in UI-View and you can select your server and the desired port in Setup/APRS Server Setup.

If you then decide to connect to a user-definable filter port (14580), you can read here how to put the filter message and here a description of the filter functions.
