UISS Modules

 

 

UISS-TTS 1.0

This Add-On (by Dany LU4EG) purpose is to audit the messages, Bulletins and News using Microsoft's "Text to Speech" received by UISS.
Easy to use, but still enough possibilities to configure the add-on to your needs.
It's also possible to let it speak text files (*.txt), like saved APRS messages or any other kind of text files using "Say Text File" button.

Download UISS-TTS (Important: please UnZIP the files in the UISS folder)


UISS-GPS 1.0

Yes, our module programmer has done it again: UISS_GPS! This 3th UISS-module (addon) by Dany LU4EG is a full featured GPS to UISS bridge!!
This AddOn allows you to send "APRS beacons" from your GPS to UISS. Connecting your GPS to a Notebook, UISS becomes a "TinyTrack" beaconing your position.
If you do not have a secondary serial port available then you must "share" serial port in order to have two logical ports, one for the GPS and the other one for AGWpe to manage the radio.

 

Download UISS-GPS (Important: please UnRAR the files in the UISS folder)


UISS-SatGate 1.0

This is the second UISS-module (addon) for UISS by Dany LU4EG: a full featured SATGATE!!
This unique AddOn acts like a "bridge" between UISS and the Internet hence joining Radio and APRS-IS (APRS Internet Service).
It has two primary modes: RF to Internet and Internet to RF.

Using it enables you to send any satellite downlink packets to
http://www.ariss.net or http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/pcsat.cgi in real time, for other HAMs in the world to see all the passes over your location. UISS SatGate sends this info to satgate.aprsca.net on port 14580, which can be changed if needed. Can also be used to gate any type of packet (not only satellite packets).

Also you can use the "reverse" mode to transmit the world APRS-IS info at your APRS local frequency.

Setup the UISS-SateGate module in only a few easy steps making it one of the easiest to use satgate around (an yet powerful enough to satisfy even the most advanced users).

Some more of the unique features in UISS-SatGate: call sign filters, MHeard expire time, Best DX, Proxy settings (if needed), change TX-ports indepently from RX-ports (important for Internet to RF Gate option), transmit current ISS location object, extensive logs, create your own web-server, and much more!!

Note: works only with UISS Pro-Edition

Download UISS-SatGate (UnZIP the files in the UISS folder)


.UISS-Orb 1.0 (Freeware)

This is the first 3th party module (addon) for UISS, by Dany LU4EG!
This AddOn permits to link UISS with Orbitron in order to have automatic transmissions with the exact pass of the "birds" over your station. It uses
Orbitron satellite tracker and parses the data to UISS.

Some features:

- The use and configuration are very simple
- Track the satellite(s) you want to use, with the name it has in Orbitron label. You can add as many satellites as you want!
- Let UISS transmit during the passes of each added satellite.
- Interval (s): Time in seconds you want to transmit.
- Change UISS's alias according to the satellites you are using (Examples: PCSAT,W3ADO-1,ARISS,WIDE2-2)
- Min El(°): Minimun elevation angle in degrees you want to begin and end the transmitions.
- and more!

A perfect example what's possible using the latest modulecommands capabilities of UISS v5.2.2!

.UI-MapView 2.2.2 (Freeware)


This UISS module (plugin) allows you to visually locate a station heard by UISS on a map. Each heard station (with UIMapView compatible locator) can be accessed for more info. It will detect longitude and latitude coordinates that are compatible with UIView (compressed format is NOT yet supported in this version!).
Compatible with almost any locator system used in APRS and GPS including Mic-E compressed and UI-View compressed locators.

There are 9 maps included of all contintents and more. You can create and add infinite number of new maps by converting UI-View maps.
Maps can be saved (including the stations plotted on the map) as a BMP or JPG picture.
You can maximize any map to full screen enhancing the station spacing.

If you should plan to make or convert maps (and want to share them with your fellow ham's) then please send them to me and I'll gladly put them on this page with full credtis. The HAM-community thanks you in advance.

Version 2.2.2
