I just figured something out with packet not working on 2 meters.
By way of background, I have two mostly identical setups. One is my "go frame" and the second is a permanent install in my Jeep.
What is common in both installs:
Yaesu FT-857D
LDG autotuner - uses CAT control @ 4800 baud
BAP with Buster build & older version of KM4ACK scripts.
GPS unit
What is different:
The go frame uses a signalink.
The Jeep install uses a cheap USB audio device.
=================
The go frame with the Signalink works fine on Ardop / Winlink, Packet / Winlink, xastir, WSJT-X you name it.
The jeep install worked on WSJT-X Ardop / Winlink
But not on Packet / WinLink or Xastir
=======
What I ended up doing to get things going in the Jeep:
Edit /home/pi/direwolf.conf and add the following:
NOTE: These are MY settings.
ALSO NOTE: my LDG autotuner reuqires a baud rate of 4800
so that is what I have to adjust all CAT control to
PTT RIG 122 /dev/ttyUSB0 4800
------
The above line tells direwolf to use hamlib. I am using an older version of hamlib to which the FT-857 rig number is 122. The new hamlib has the FT-857 as rig number 1022
/dev/ttyUSB0 is where my FT-857 CAT port yours might be different.
The last number, 4800 is the baud rate I have to set due to my LDG tuner.
I still have to use Flrig before starting the PAT menu, but now everything works.
Hope this helps!!
