Bunch of modifications to the HG-UV98

Where are my #macos #HamRadio #APRS #direwolf #digirig folks at?
So, my digirig works fine on macos if I just hamlib it. Like, I can rigctl, toggle the ptt, everything works just fine.
But, for whatever reason, direwolf _refuses_ to work.
I see it, like, flash the ptt once the first time I try to Tx, but nothing comes out, and then the ptt doesn't even trigger with subsequent attempted transmissions. The direwolf console registers that it Tx'd packets, and there are no error messages.
I've even tried running the digirig as a rigctld server locally. Same deal; other programs can trigger ptt for an arbitrary amount of time, but direwolf configured to use it still just flashes the first packet.
I don't have this issue on Linux, and I don't _think_ I have this problem when I use vox on a baofeng (I need to try again to verify).
It looks like APRS has competition in the form of the CATS protocol. https://cats.radio/
Is there a node map, equivalent to aprs.fi for this protocol?
Looks busy.
Once I get this "stable", I'm thinking about setting up a #AX.25 system too.
#APRS station & gateway back in business, at least until tomorrow when invariably it will go kaput.
Are there any websites that provide text search of decoded #APRS packets? On aprs.fi it seems like you can only search by "originating station".

Ach guck an. db0end konnte ich einmal kurz auftasten und rufen. 2-3mm bewegt und das Relais war unerreichbar. Aber ein einziges #APRS Paket hat die Hytera dann doch noch absetzen können. RSSI -105. Ist da also sogar mit S7 angekommen. Nice.
Gut, im Notfall könnte dieses eine Paket halt ein leben retten. Schließlich war ich ja im Wald. Und im Wald da sind die Räuber,
halli hallo die Räuber……
Finally got some time for coding on personal projects this evening. Picked up my on-again, off-again APRS C# library to fix a few reported bugs. Got carried away and added support for serial TNCs via the demo command line tool. Good fun and very satisfying!
