Hi,
I wanted to check out Pi-APRS. Hamlib is installed, direwolf is installed, the Pi-APRS suite is installed.
Direwolf works fine for Pat Menu & Winlink on VHF using my IC-7100, therefore the AX.25 ports are, I believe, correctly setup.
When I start Pi_Aprs and click Start Modem, I get the following error:
Hamlib Rig open error -6: IO error
The log looks like this:
Dire Wolf version 1.6
Includes optional support for:? hamlib cm108-ptt
Reading config file /home/pi/direwolf.conf

Direwolf hears the APRS traffic coming in the radio, but it will not transmit because of the error shown above.
The error shown when trying to send a Terrestrial Message to myself is:

The video on Pi-APRS does not show any configuration for the radio, and since it works already in Winlink for VHF, I'd expect there not to be any configuration other than what was done for Winlink purposes.
Also, when selecting Settings from the Pi-APRS menu, it will not accept a 2 word answer for the City Name ("Big Sur", for example). Once a 2-word city name is entered and the program started again, when the modem is started it complains that is does not know what "Big" [first word of the two] on line 7 is.
What am I missing?
