Linux73 install over BAP + manual VARA = AX.25 and Direwolf issues #73linux #direwolf #IC-705


 

I was having trouble getting my new ICOM IC¨C705 working with my Raspberry Pi 4 - 8 GB running BAP, so Jason suggested that I install Linux73 on top of my existing BAP installation. I did that, and Kelly suggested that follow this with a manual install of the VARA Winlink components, which I did.

Jason:?/g/KM4ACK-Pi/topic/104659521

Kelly:?/g/KM4ACK-Pi/topic/102983790

All of the programs seemed to install correctly without any obvious errors and I went through and configured each program per the two videos that Jason has on setting up the IC ¨C 705.

However, I continue to get errors when using Pat Winlink. Even though rig control through flrig is working with other programs, within the pat mailbox window in Chromium I get errors saying:?

¡°QSY failed: unable to get rig frequency dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532: connect: connection refused¡±


Unable to establish connection to remote: no AX.25 ports configured

And when I run?direwolf -p?from a terminal window I get more errors which seem to indicate a problem with rig control:

¡°rig_open?/home/rob/.config//home/rob/hamlibSettings does not exist¡±


Running direwolf -p from terminal

For reference, here are my serial and capture devices in terminal:

And here is the contents of my /etc/ax25/axports file:

Finally, for reference, the IC-705 does not show up as a Capture or Playback device in fldigi:


Fldigi does not show IC-705 Capture or Playback Devices

I feel a bit like the old expression, ¡°close, but no cigar¡±. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong here

Thanks in advance,
