Neat idea!

I'd prefer a mono "goggle" to a dual "goggle" as I wouldn't want to be blinded
to what's going on around me.

Has anyone tried video goggles, like the one the drone operators use? Portable operations in bright sunlight have been very problematic for us regardless of what we have tried for the monitor (laptop, iPOD, Kindle).

Until the budget builds up,? I am exploring DMR without the radio, for now, by connecting to other radios around the world, in hundreds of subject or geographic based talk groups, to monitor or to participate, or so I hope to in a day or two.? DUDEstar is the only ticket I know of to DMR without the radio, for now, and might be the only amateur radio mode possible from a location that restricts any RF other than standard wifi, if that is available.? That is skill and knowledge and capability I'd like to explore, as long as the internet is up.? And if we can then get DUDEstar to work on a Pi4B, even better!? Another amateur radio skill and capability even if the RF is all at the destination.? :-)

Let's get right to it.
Thank you for all your tutorials, scripts, and videos!

I think you will love it Jerry.? It was pretty simple once I figured out FLRig.? I have noticed that I need to turn the RF down quite a bit on digital modes (js8,ft8 and pat) to keep from overloading the software.? I'm very impressed with the radio.? It replaced an X5105 that I really enjoyed too.?

WSJTX 2.4.0 is unusable for me on my Pi 4b. I’m wondering if any BAP users running this version also experience a problem.

The issue is that I can start WSJTX (after FLRIG which connects to and controls the radio just fine) and WSJTX starts and appears to work with waterfall and decoding) but as soon as I click anything in the GUI (change mode, change TX/RX slot in waterfall, or try to TX the WSJTX program abruptly shuts down. ?FLRIG is unaffected.

I’ve built a new Pi up from a fresh OS image and fresh BAP install, but the problem remains.

I’ve also discussed this on the WSJTX group and there they saya segmentation fault caused by a null pointer is the problem. ?If that is the case I’d expect others using 2.4.0 to also experience this, but haven’t seen anyone mention it.?

I don’t think this is a BAP issue, but hoping someone here might have some good ideas for fixing it. ?WSJTX used to work for me pre 2.4.0 with the same hardware setup. I can fall back a version or two but before doing so wanted to ask here.

I missed your post, sorry. Jason has a great video showing how to add solar info to Conky, including adding the sun pic if you desire. Anytime you want to tweak BaP or Conky, see if Jason has a video, good possibility he has one that will walk you thru the setup.?

Thanks Jeff. There is a LOT of info out there. Sometimes it can be difficult to locate that one small nugget your are hunting.

I haven't and don't own any DMR radios currently. DMR is not a rabbit hole I have ran down yet.

Thanks Jason I don't know why I just can do the right search.? Well you convinced me to go Patreon.

Hello Jason,

Have you tried building/using DUDEstar, for DMR, on a Pi4B?? I am building it on an atomic pi as I type, but the Pi4B/8G will be next, and I am interested in your thoughts.? I have only come across builds on x86 Linux, and the Windows build is available on github, but the Windows version is stated as being unsupported (compared to the Linux version).? Perhaps it is about time to have a go with an arm processor on our favorite, the Pi4B??

So on another topic...
After watching some vids by Jason & others, I'm interested in building an APRS Pi utilizing Direwolf and Xastir, connected to my old 60w Yaesu FT-2600M, which I bought for a song....particularly because it has a data out jack.?

From what I can tell, the "missing link" for me right now is the audio piece between the radio and the Pi.... including a cable.
I'm not really set up to make my own cables, so whatever way I go, I may have to goto ebay or find some sort of 'cables-r-us' type ham buddy.
But then there's the soundcard.
I already have the super cheapie Sabrent usb soundcard that everyone has.? So, I guess one question would be... is that sufficient, or am I looking at buying a Signalink? A follow up question would be...even if the Sabrent is "good enough," should I go with the Signalink anyway, as that would simplify the cable question?

Would love to hear from someone who's got a similar setup working.

Thanks, and 73!

Hey Jason
Yeah, I know that the 'correct levels' settings within the TNC3 app need to be set appropriately..... so far, tho, my experience is that this at times seems to border on magic/alchemy. Getting the output power level correctly with just the naked ear is a roll of the dice. In the absence of sophisticated electronic equipment, I've downloaded a decibel app for my phone that detects differences in noise. And in terms of getting the input level set.... I've discovered that when I'm using my FT-2600M with its data-out jack, I can't get the LEDs to just 'tickle' the max. Input level is pegged to the max even when both sliders are turned all the way down. When I use the auto-adjust feature it usually leaves the gain at 0, but often sets the twist between 3 and 5 db. I'm assuming that it's the INPUT settings (along with my antenna) that determine how well I 'hear' other beacons.?
In the end I'm not really sure that my TNC3 is the final solution, especially for use with my FT-2600M mobile rig.

Which brings me to another topic.
But I'll post that as a separate item.

73!

I posted the same question about a month ago but got no response. For that reason I just ended up eliminating all Conky mods.

Installed all one by one

pat mail start 100%

ptt is set to true
select a freq to connect
then following messages on screen

that is where i get stuck. Something in later updates as all was working perfect

please advice where to type, change etc?

All that work to make it function properly and when I ran conky-prefs it was gone!? What a waste.? Since I have to run conky-prefs every single time the Pi boots to get gridsquare, I'll just pass on this for now.

Running conky-prefs installs a default template for Conky. Anytime you mod the conky file, don't use conky-prefs. The more interesting part is why you need to run conky-prefs to get the gridsquare to display? Please post a new thread since it is off topic for this post and let's see if we can figure that out. The grid square should load automatically.

You will need to make sure that the TNC levels are configured correctly. This can have an impact on how many stations you are hearing. The mobilinkd team offers an Android app to assist. Check their documentation or their forum /g/mobilinkd/topics

As for the connection in xastir coming/going, it would be helpful to start the connection to the mobilind manually instead of using Pat Menu to start the TNC connection. This is a bit more of a pain but would allow you to see if it is the connection between the Pi/Mobilinkd that is becoming unstable or the connection between Xastir/Mobilinkd. In other words, when the interface shows either down or error in xastir, does the bluetooth connection between the Pi and the Mobilnkd still exist?


--

The listen mode is used for peer to peer (P2P) connections. So when you enable listen mode, your station is listening for other stations to call your station.

Tim,
Thanks for sharing this, recently got the TX500 and look forward to connecting to the pi

Hi everyone

[errgh, posted this to the wrong groupsio page earlier. If at first you don't succeed...]
I know it's 'old news' by now, but SUPER shout-out to Jason for all of the hard work he's done to make the BAP experience something that a newb can really dive into.? I've spent the morning getting my Mobilinkd TNC3 & xastir playing together.

It's been a more or less WIN!

Only thing is, there have been some quirks.
For instance, even with the TNC3 'started' using the PAT menu, I notice that it *sometimes goes "down" in the xastir interface control box. When that happens, *sometimes when I click 'start' on the device in interface control it will come back up.... and sometimes not. There have also been a couple of times that clicking on the start tnc3 modem button in the PAT menu... it goes through the scan, and comes back saying it didn't locate a TNC3.?
Wondering if this is something in the Pi ... or if I have a flakey TNC3?? BTW, I'm using Pi3B+.

Regardless, when it's worked, it's been WAY COOL.

I think I may also have to do some 'dialing in' re the TNC3/Mobilinkd settings, as I'm in the Chicago area and seems like I should be able to 'hear' a lot more stations (aka see a lot more things populating on the map) than the 7 or 8 stations that did show up. I'm assuming that's an audio-in tweak in the TNC3 setup app.? For what it's worth, I've now tried it on both my HT (IC-V86) and my packet rig Yaesu FT-2600M....both using roll up J-Pole 20ft up in a tree by my garage. In comparison when running both on APRSDROID, I tend to see/hear more stations.

Thanks again Jason!

73,
