Pat Menu - Telnet - "Invalid or missing target callsign" and "Grid square not set in Pat configure" #pat-mail


 

Using BAP on Buster (last version available) and Pat v 0.12.0.

When I try to use the Telnet protocol to connect to Winlink, I get the error message "Invalid or missing target callsign".? I've made no changes to the Pat configuration file prior to getting this error. It used to work.

If I run pat from the terminal window, this is what I get:
?
pi@buildapi3:~ $ pat connect telnet
2021/12/12 15:27:56 Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig: dial tcp?: connect: connection refused.
2021/12/12 15:27:56 Connecting to WL2K (telnet)...
2021/12/12 15:27:56 Connected to??(tcp)

;PQ: 77213018

FQ
2021/12/12 15:27:57 Disconnected.

So Pat itself is working.

But when in Pat Menu and trying to connect via telnet, it gives me this:
2021/12/12 15:29:41 Invalid or missing target callsign
?
Running pat configure shows:
{
? "mycall": "N3JF",
? "secure_login_password": "mypassword",
? "auxiliary_addresses": [],
? "locator": "DM13DN",
? "service_codes": [
? ? "PUBLIC"
? ],
? "http_addr": "127.0.0.1:5000",
? "motd": [
? ? "Open source Winlink client - getpat.io"
? ],
? "connect_aliases": {
? ? "telnet": "telnet://{mycall}:CMSTelnet@...:8772/wl2k",
? ? "AJ7C-20M-14106.5": "ardop:///AJ7C?freq=14106.5",
...snip...
? "telnet": {
? ? "listen_addr": ":8774",
? ? "password": ""
? },
...snip...
?
I also have Conky running and it started showing the following error:
Grid square not set in Pat configure
?
As you can see, my grid square is defined in pat configure!

Any ideas on what's happening?

Thanks,
Julian
