I seem to be doing something wrong
28
I downloaded the latest version from SourceForce. In the "How to Flash a Image text" file it stated to use Rufus. So I found the latest version of that and downloaded it. I have a 32gb Flash drive and did a FAT32 format, even though it had in already done, I wanted a clean start. I ran Rufus and started the flash process. It went about 0.1% and bailed out. Just enough to make the Flash Drive un readable with Win 10. Yep the computer did not see it. I fired up the Acer Netbook I plan on using this program in since it had XP to see if I could find the drive and yes it did. I did a format and it came back at 29 GB and the the original was for sure 32 GB. Figured it did not matter. So came back in and tried Rufus once again, but not before downloading the Ham-PC image file one more time just in case I had a bad download, which seldom happens. Results the same. I just went outside to where my XP was and re-formated the flash drive once again. Before I go any further I need some help in understanding what I am doing wrong. I am hoping to get the image file onto the Acer and make it a 100% HamPC computer, but I seem to lost at this moment. Assuming I ever get the programed moved over from Win10 harddrive to the Flashdrive, what do I do next? Do I repeat this process all over again with the Acer HD. If I do and I have the same issue that I have with my flashdrive it will turn my Netbook into a brick. I am getting a bit nervous about this. I had zero problem with my Pi3B and flashing. Any and all suggestion will be greatly appreciated. 73 Harry K7ZOV

How to install on an iMac?
3
I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to get the most recent (2020) release of HamPC to boot from a thumb drive on my Intel iMac without success. I receive a complaint that says something similar to "can't determine boot order", then the text becomes about 1 point tall on my 21 inch screen, and is impossible to make out. I'm left looking at a black screen with teeny tiny text at the top left part of the screen. I tried cold booting the iMac, and the next time, after receiving the same warning, I saw a few snippets of binary (?) code appear, and that was all. Not sure where to go from here, but it looks like the software is not functional for me. Joe WD4KAV

General question
5
Hello to the group, Just tried the first attempt to load the latest version of Ham-PI on a Raspberry PI. The installer seems to work ok but some of the apps don't want to install and are skipped even tho I have selected them individually a second time.. Especially the FT8 program. Is Ham-PI just for Raspberry PI4 of will it run on a PI3? Going to try a fresh install again maybe trying an earlier version.. Thanks. Rick N1RCW

Problem Starting Up HamPC v1.2b
5
I downloaded the .xz from sourceforge. Tried to use rufus to write to a 16GB stick which the documentation says will work. It threw an non-descript error. Tried BalenaEtcher. It said I needed a 32GB stick. Got a 32GB stick. Burned fine. Booted fine. There are 3 user accounts and no documentation on the default passwords to any of them. So I do not know if I have a working system. 73 AA2GG

ANNOUNCEMENT: update_wsjtx_log.py version 1.1.1 released
10
Fellow hams and users of WSJT-X: I am pleased to announce the creation and immediate availability of version 1.1.1 of a Python application to address some of the deficiencies of WSJT-X not providing a method to automatically look up callsigns and missing grid squares and fill them in. Changes: * Added support for FREE data source callook.info * Enhanced session and error handling This Python application has been successfully tested with Python3 and a Raspberry Pi, although may easily be used on other Linux systems with Python3. It has not been tested with Mac, but should probably work there as well. It has not been tested under Windows. The script has passed scrutiny by Pylint and Flake8. *Prerequisites*: Requests and Watchdog Python libraries. *Environment variables*: If using QRZ as a data source QRZ_USERNAME and QRZ_PASSWORD to be filled in with your authentication tokens from QRZ. Additional backends such as HamQTH may be added in the future if there is demand. *To use:* download the script, and if using QRZ as a data source, set the QRZ_USERNAME and QRZ_PASSWORD environment variables and start up WSJT-X and the script. It will run automatically. CAUTION: do not independently edit the wsjtx_log.adi while this script is running, or bad things will happen. This script only works when WSJT-X is appending its ADIF log file with new entries, nothing else. The Python script, update_wsjtx_log.py may be located and downloaded from here: https://github.com/dslotter/ham_radio_scripts/blob/main/update_wsjtx_log.py -- Dave Slotter, W3DJS <https://www.qrz.com/db/W3DJS>
