Great Program

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I had difficulty getting it up and running, only because I didn't follow the instructions as written. I installed and unintalled the software 3 times before I realized I didn't do something correctly. I made a donation to Cancer research as the instructions requested, although it is not mandatory, but I recommend it- may help someone in the future and you get very good software. I also purchased Precision Mapping to have some great maps. One of the pluses- I got my my registration number in just a few hours. It took me over a week to get new registration for another well known APRS software. I recommend the UIView 32 if you are getting into APRS

Excellent Support Community

I have been using UI-View for years now and it has remained very stable on both Win98 and XP Home, it also works on Windows Vista RC1
One thing that has stood out from the rest of the APRS clients is the user support group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ui-view/join ) which has thousands of members from around the world. This large support base means there is no problem which can not be solved
Also the 3rd party software support is great with lots of add-ons which can customise the program to your every need
For more information on the 3rd party support take a look at the following

Stay away from this orphan

UI-View once had a lot of promise. But the author became sick and died and wanted the source code destroyed so no one could continue his work. So now that APRS specs are changing, there is no way to update the program. No enhancements will ever come except through third party modules. There are already a few reports of people having trouble getting the program to install on the XP updated OS, but there is no help to fix them. Time to move to AGWTracker, APRSPoint, WinAPRS, APRS-SCS, or any other actively supported APRS programs. Yes UI-View might be free, but why waste your time on a program that will never go beyond where it is today? There are much better older and up and coming programs out there.

UI-View32
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
I use UI-View32 to connect to my TM-D700 for APRS fun. It has a pre-set option for this radio (and the TH-D7 handheld) so it works perfectly with it.
The registration procedure is simple and friendly. I got my keys within 2 days only and I am sending my donation to a cancer research organization on voluntary basis as requested.
Before using UI-View32, I tried WinAPRS. WinAPRS said my system ran out of memory (I've 1GB RAM only) in the APRS nodes mapping process. So, I turned to UI-View32. The mapping process was fast once you connect to the APRS server and no memory problem occured.
There are lots of things to read before I can master the functions. But for basic operations, it is easy to set up and the system is quite stable.
If you are new to APRS, consider UI-View32!

Fantastic

For those who do not know, Roger, the author of UI-VIEW, passed away from cancer. His family decided to make UI-VIEW32 available for all who want it for a simple donation to cancer research.
There also is a new URL to get from, which is http://www.apritch.myby.co.uk/uiv32.htm.
Now to the review! This is an absoulutly must have piece of software. It has so many neat features it would take this ebtire website to review. But here are a few to "wet your whistle"!
(1)If you are a registered user, you can actually use UI-VIEW32 for APRS by hooking up to an APRS server. (NO RADIO OR TNC REQUIRED!) And it works perfectly that way.
(2)Get the UI-TERRA add on. It goes out on the Terra Server site and downloads maps of your choosing...FREE!
(3)Doing Skywarn? Hook it up to the APRS server, watch for the "Center of MAX Concern" WX Icons (or symbols). Right click one, and select "Finger WX Server". You instantly have the full text of the warning or statement on the screen!
Simple. Get it. NOW!

The only way to go.

This is the APRS software. I use it with Percision Mapping maps and AGWPE Pro and have had great luck. I have even used a old 2M talkie to use during feild outings. It is very customizable and very easy to set up after reading the setup guide. I bought this program and use it all the time. This is the easy cheap way on APRS.
It also suports all the original DOS APRS maps.

Superb and Well Supported

I've been using this software for about two months. In conjunction with the Precision Mapping software there is nothing that comes close. APRSA is just not a competitor to this well thought out, well integrated package.
For only $15 and a bit more for the Precision Maps, you will have all you could ever hope for in an APRS suite.

I've been using UI-View for the past year. Roger has done an excellent job. And with all the add-ons that are available, you can turn UI-View into almost any kind of APRS application. The programming interface is excellent, we have extended it for use by our emergency operations center here. I've also had it running continuously for 6 months as a digipeater and igate - no problems and very stable.
