More GPS Winlink Bookworm woes


 

I have found another issue with Pat winlink, and it also appears to be GPS related. When I try to search for gateways. the distance and azimuth columns are missing (see attachment) I am guessing that more variables are pointing to an incorrect config.json file.

For context, Kelly you suggested the following: "patmenu2 will not work until its re-factored for bookworm.
specifically PATCONFIG=$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pat/config.json
is invalid giving you: Could not open file /pat/config.json: No such file or directory

you could edit the something like PATCONFIG=~/.config/pat/config.json"

I edited line 8 in the manage-pat-functions file, and Pat appeared to get the grid square - except not always as in this particular case when doing a gateway search.

Kelly, in my previous issue, you also mention: "line 47 on the pat menu file will correct the other instance here". Which might be my fix, as I haven't made this change because I looked at line 47 of the manage-pat-functions file, and it didn't make sense to me.

Here is what my manage-pat-functions file looks like in that area:

41: RCALL=$(echo $REMOVE | awk -F "|" '{print $1}')
42: RCALL1=$(echo "\"$RCALL\"")
43: #check something was selected
44: if [ -z "$RCALL" ]; then
45: yad --title="No Selection" --width=300 --height=100 \
46: --image $LOGO --window-icon=$LOGO --image-on-top \
47: --center --form --text="No station was selected\r Please try again" \
48: --button=gtk-ok
49: $MAIN &
51: exit
fi

======

Thanks in advance
