The screenshot for pat menu setting is unreadable. Run this command and copy/paste the results here please:
cat ~/patmenu2/config

Which version of rigctl do you have installed? Run:
rigctl --version

Is FLRIG open and running before you attempt a pat connection?

Hey all, I have a Garmin Nuvi Bluetooth GPS. Has anyone had any luck with getting it to work with the BAP GPS Tool. Would appreciate any help. I can use my phone's GPS but I want another option in case I don't have any cell service. Thanks, K2PMD.

Paul,

I didn't have a bluetooth GPS to test with when I wrote the code. I had one other ham that tested it but I don't recall the model of GPS he was using. You will have to manually connect the GPS to the Pi using bluetooth before using the GPS update tool.

Reading through some of the hamlib github issues, I ran across this

Looks like you aren't the only one with the issue. Hopefully they get it resolved soon.

If I understand correctly, you don¡¯t need cell service for your phone¡¯s GPS to work. I think the GPS function is aided by a cell connection, but not necessary. My iPad does fine on GPS and it does not even have a SIM card in it.

I am playing with an old laptop screen and hdmi video board in a dry box.. still a work in progress.. the pi 400 has too many cords for my setup.. pi 4 and cordless keyboard/mouse ..? small enough to fit in case.. big enough for my old eyes

Thanks Jason

Fyi there is a program for Android that's called Droidstar that allows you to make DMR contacts with just a cell or tablet.? It's really a nice app.

Not sure what might be going on here. I am not a frequent user of FT8 but I fired it (2.4.0) up this morning and didn't have the same issues you did. Maybe try reinstalling.

Glad you found the videos helpful. I may look at DUDEstar in the future but it isn't on my current project list.

For most setups, FLRIG needs to be open and configured for your radio. Try again with FLRIG running. If it still isn't working, post a screenshot of your Pat Menu settings.

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 used a build-a-pi v3 with RTC, and GPS (time standard) and G90, for ft8 on field day 2021
