UV-Pro, TNC, and APRS

APRSDroid would often fail to reconnect to the UV-PRO: java.io.IOException: read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1 The HT app would manage to reconnect OK. I would need to cycle power on the radio to get APRSDroid to reconnect. In APRSDroid, Preferences->Connection Preferences->Channel was set to 1. I blanked that channel setting, and now it may be reconnecting between stop and start of app, bluetooth, or distance.

As a side note, having the UV-PRO monitoring a frequency other than APRS may interfere with packet reception. I don’t see as many APRS packets when monitoring another repeater, probably due to interruptions from the non-APRS audio.
