With a call for help, Kevin VK2CKD suggested using?
? ? sudo lsof /dev/ttyUSB0
That told me that gpsd had a hold of it.? Funny, I didn't install the GPS bit.
Anyway, killed that and flrig was happy, so was Pat Menu.
Went and found Winlink stations, added their aliases fine.? Stopped and restarted Pat Menu but when I selected one of the stations, it did not put the frequency in the box.?
So I entered a frequency and got this:
? ? ? QSY ardop: 7183.5
? ? ? ?2020/09/07 15:03:27 Unable to QSY: Unable to get rig frequency: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532: connect: connection refused
'flrig can change the frequency on the radio.
Further testing showed that fldigi and js8call work fine.? When I rebooted, I had the same gpsd problem.? Killed that and started flrig OK. Pat Menu gives the same error as above.
