Change your PTT config to something like?

PTT RIG 370 /dev/ttyUSB1

and close flrig and other stuff which might also be trying to control it?

TNX Jason
that is exactly what was happening.
thanks for pointing me to the right solution.

Double check that the data port set in VARA matches the port set in the Pat Config file.

I'm running an Evolve with Linux Mint and gone through all the install that Jason has on YouTube and all works well except VARA for Winlink. When I start the VARA modem I get the message "Listener varahf failed: vara initialization failed: couldn't connect to VARA command port: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8300: connect: connection refused" I have done research and looked through my system put can't find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

With the GPS plugged in, try listing out the by-id dir but running:
ls /dev/serial/by-id

If you get an error that the directory doesn't exist, you may have run into an old issue that I covered in this video -

I'm new to the group, but found a lot of great information here!

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction on a configuration issue I'm having.

I'm trying to run Winlink Express (Packet) under wine (64-bit WINEPREFIX which I understand may be an issue) on a Raspberry Pi 5 with an ICOM 7100 radio.? Using much of the information found in this group, I think I'm close, but I can't get the radio to transmit.?

My latest configuration attempt is using flrig:

- Winlink Express works with telnet so the basic installation is OK
?? -> Winlink Express Packet setttings:? KISS, NORMAL, TCP, 127.0.0.0 port 8001
- Winlink Express (Packet) is sending traffic to Direwolf
- flrig can successfully change frequencies and other configurations on the ICOM 7100
- I can successfully transmit using other ham radio applications on the ICOM 7100 with the PI 5
- Note:? separate from using flrig, I was able to configure Direwolf to receive APRS packets

Issue:
- I can hear the Winlink Express audio and can see traffic logged in DireWolf, but the IC 7100 doesn't transmit

Additional Configuration Info:
- I tried several direwolf.conf iterations, but current config is:
??? -> CHANNEL 0; ADEVICE plughw:0,0; MYCALL KM6YKT; MODEM 1200; PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532
??? -> arecord -l shows card 0 device 0 is CODEC [USB Audio CODEC]
??? -> rgctld -m 4 is running

I've tried other methods (separate from using flrig) and configurations including:? various direwolf.conf settings; kissattach; links; digirig; regedit for COM ports; baud rate settings, paging size, ax25 port configs, etc., but I'm missing something.

I'm very new to Linux so any guidance is much appreciated.? I think I may have missed something simple.

Thanks,
Greg

Trying to get conky to display my grid square.
I am running 32bit bullseye 73linux
the gps puck is a VK-162 G-Mouse USB
I can see data when I run cat /dev/ttyACM0 but the puck doesn't list in GPS updater pulldown
CGPS doesn't see it either

anyone run into this or have an idea where to go from here?

tnx Rick ..

I am using packet (ax25) in build a pi for winlink on the Raspberry pi with a sound cart and a relay to let the ptt react on my HT (wouxun kg-uvd1).
Direwolf is responsible for giving a signal over gpio pin 26 to activate de ptt of the HT. This is working very well and reliable.
For the winlink vara-FM mode in build a pi, I want also to let it work on the same HT and a gpio pin of the raspberry pi.
When I look in the menu of Vara-FM? I can only chose for a comport and nothing like another external possibility.
Is there an option to use the vara-fm comport over a gpio pin of the raspberry pi?? So that I can use this signal to activate the relay which activates the ptt.?
I know I can use a digirig, but first I want to see if this is possible.
I hope someone can give me a tip if this is possible and how to do it.

Hi has anyone done an install of 73 on top of build a pi, looking to update,but just wondering if its easy or a painful expriance

Glenn, Jason transitioned BAP to 73Linux some time ago (late 2022 I think). I've recently used 73Linux to install ham radio apps on my RPi 5 after installing the 64 Bit version of Bookworm OS. I've had trouble with some of the apps on the 73Linux list loading; specifically WSJT-X, PAT and VARA. There are some ongoing issues specific to these apps that are being worked as Jason's free time permits. The FLDIGI suite of apps work just fine.?

Will BAP or 73Linux work OK with the 64bit Raspberry Pi OS? If so what would be the better choice?

Thanks Mike. ? I have been ignoring the missing grid square until today. ? Maybe I was doing something wrong with 73Linux update but it appears that it does not have this fix. ?I watched Jason's older video on fixing this but my permissions were fine. ?When I tried running "get-grid" I got a rubygems error which searching on rubygems in this group lead me to your fix. ?Lots of joy!
