Here is a unit which is nicely made and powers the pi5 well. Haven¡¯t tested on air yet (for any noise)?

Something is fishy, which image are you using to boot your pi?
yad is very much in my official image?
|
Yes I did do a full update before I tried to install(everything was up to date however).? I ran the command line you posted and the results I received back are:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package yad
?
|
Did you run a full system update and reboot before all this??
If you run?
sudo apt-get install yad?
what is the output??

I am having issues with Pi5.
I have installed the KM4ACK software on 2 separate Pi 4 boards.? One was the 32 bit and one was 64 bit.? They both worked fine.
Now I am trying to get it working on my new Pi 5.? The command seems to start to run and then comes up with a bunch of messages, including "unable to locate package" and "command not found".
I've added a screenshot of the text I am getting when I try and run the command line.
Not sure if there is something I should have done since it is a Pi 5.? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: "ARDOP Modem FAILED to Start" Error Linux Mint 21.3 (x64)
Good afternoon? I had a similar issue where, starting ARDOP from patmenu2 would render the FAILED to start dialog window. I don't see /home/w4btk/ardop/./piARDOP_GUI in my home dir so, here are the changes I made. 1) noticed the ARDOP GUI line in the current configuration dialog and removed it 2) noticed that start-pat-ardop script invokes gnome-terminal which I don't have since I'm running MX Linux 23 so, I installed it ( sudo apt install gnome-terminal ) This resolved my ARDOP Failed issue. Hope this helps someone. Test video:

Re: Kenwood TH-D74 bluetooth connection to Pi
Did you recently connect to another device?? Might have a bluetooth conflict.? Ensure all other devices that might be conflicting are turned off.? Just a thought.

Re: 2 radios 2 fldigi configs
I know it has been a long time since this post has been active and I have watched the video more then once ( great information by the way as always).? Reason for the post is I was looking at adding a radio to my digital setup and after watching the video and then checking the Fldigi documentation the same thing that was done in the video with Flrig can be done with FLdigi as well.? Just fallow the steps in Jason's video and substitute "fldigi.desktop" file for "flrig.desktop" do the modifications to the files as Jason did in the video then you can have different fldigi programs for different radios.
I did 2 different fldigi apps so i could us one with my ft891 and one with my TYT TH-9800 using an Easy digi interface.? So far this is working great!!!
Thanks again for the videos Jason and keep the knowledge comming!!

You have much more experience than I do.? Would taking larger batteries be a good idea to make 20# more like 25#?
I like your plan/radios/antennas/etc., but I think power is your weakest point in the plan.

You should be able to boot it with a cd or USB drive with the os you want to install. Thanks so much, Greg

Hello to all,
I have dusted off my 'good' laptop. I haven't used it in a while. It can boot BUT I have forgotten the password (again). I would like to do a fresh install of Linux Mint and then 73 Linux. I can get to the terminal as the machine doesn't need the password on boot. b
Can anyone help me do this? I am currently running Ubuntu 22.04 with 73 Linux. I would like to do a fresh start with all of the necessary 'bells and whistles'. Can anyone help? A LOT of 'please' in this.
73,

FLDIGI not updating or uninstalling?
FLDIGI is hanging when I attempt to transmit, after attempting to update via 73Linux. So, I attempted uninstalling via 73Linux, but the terminal merely closes with no progress or indication that such a thing is taking place.
I'm running Linux Mint.
I did notice an error message scrolling past in the terminal when running 73Linux:
CRITICAL: parsing error on .bapp /home/tim/73Linux/app/stable/x86_64/WSJTX.bapp
Any thoughts? Obviously I'm an appliance operator flailing around in defiance of the Windoze.

KM6LYW, thanks for the input! Greatly appreciated!! Presently I have 5 Pi's all running BAP with my main ones having issues - most probably self-inflicted. Here is my breakdown of my Pi's and their statuses: ======== 1. Home / portable packet station:
? ? Pi Zero 2W running Bullseye with a Sabrent sound card and GPS dongle.
? ? ? ? ?Software: Direwolf as a digi and APRSD WebChat (Thanks Craig for APRSD!!) ? ? Radio: old Standard HT and Mirage 35w amp.
This runs off-grid 24-7-365 and has no problems.
? ? ? ? ?(Mike's rule of software - if the old version is working don't upgrade until necessary) ========== ?2. Winlink gateway:
? Pi 3b running Bullseye with a Sabrent sound card - no GPS dongle ? ? ?Software: Direwolf, LinBPQ ? ? Radio: old Icom IC2-AT and Mirage 35w amp.
This runs off-grid 24-7-365 and has no problems.
? ? ? ? ?(Mike's rule of software - if the old version is working don't upgrade until necessary)
============
3. Main radio - my Go-Frame
?Pi 3b running Bullseye with SignaLink and GPS dongle ? ? Software: Most all of the BAP software. Additionally, Xlog ? ? Radio? FT-857D with LDG autotuner and winkeyer
This is what I use for winter field day and field day. As well as sometimes POTA. I have an issue with Xlog in that it uses an old version of hamlib and it breaks everything else. I like xlog because it allows for adif logging fields that? POTA requires but the big one for me, being a CW operator is that it supports CW macros - if HAMRS?would do that I would switch in a heartbeat!?
If anyone has a suggestion for logging on a Pi that supports?CW macros as well as POTA logging, I would appreciate the input.
The real?issue for me is that when I reinstall xlog after an upgrade, hamlib fails to work with winlink, or any packet functionality. I know this is my issue, and its small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
I was hoping that Bookworm / 73 linux would fix these things and maybe it has, but I am hesitant to try the upgrade on this system at this time.
===============
4. Mobile setup in my Jeep.
Pi 3b running Bullseye with SignaLink and GPS dongle ? ? Software: Most all of the BAP software. Additionally, Xlog ? ? Radio? FT-857D with LDG autotuner and winkeyer
This setup is identical to the one above, however this is my main POTA station. With this setup, I have the same issues, but I can't run packet at?all anymore but CAT and hamlib work fine on Xlog, which is my goto for POTA logging.
5. Kitchen radio - yes it is!
? ?Pi 4 2GB ram running bullseye with xggcomms USB-Digimode-3 sound card No GPS ? ? running Bullseye and most all BAP software ? ? Radio: Icom IC-718 with LDG autotuner
I have been using this setup to try various operating systems. I just use different SD cards when trying things out. I would like to be able to run winlink on this setup, but with bullseye?in the standard configuration, as we all know, ardop doesn't work.?
I know that 2GB of ram really isn't enough to?run VARA, but I felt fortunate enough to even find?a pi 4 back when they?were in short supply. I do have an?8GB pi on?the?way so hopefully that will?fix a?lot of things?
I have tried a few things like changing leader-length but to no avail. I know there is another fix, but I haven't dug into it. I am hoping Bookworm / 73linux will get me past this, but I am slowly working through other "gotchas' on an as I have?time basis.
Honestly I'm? sure most of my woes are self-inflicted for one reason or another. I also hope this drivel doesn't discourage anyone. As with all major changes such as a new operating system, the transition is usually rough.
I appreciate all who have brought this project along - it really is a great bit of software!

Geeze! What is he up to now?

If you don't have more than 4Gigs and you're not doing a lot of floating point operations, the 32bit OS is still the right choice imho.? ?Going 64bit will burn an additional 100M of ram for no real benefit.? Plus the 64bit stuff isn't quite mature enough.? Bookworm if you have a Pi5, though, given the state of the newer kernels and gpio issues, Bullseye kinda makes sense if you're using an older Pi.

Good question - This Pi is 100% for ham radio, won't be running anything else on it.? I've got multiple rigs to coordinate, but the goal is to have this be the 'shack support' computer for all things ham - digital modes, packet, even CW skimming and such.

Re: Pat with Kenwood D72A on Raspbian (installation with with BAP)
Thank you Jeremy. After crawling through my notes again,? I found this link to instructions for setting it up that I followed:?
I have played a bit (indoors to avoid the storms in California today) and I think it is working - though I can't hit any servers from indoors with a rubber ducky on the D72A. I have a J-Pole - but at the moment have to go outside to connect the radio to it - so will wait for real test until tomorrow...

Should be good in 64bit for ham the operating system can run 32bit code and libraries easily?
64bit is also higher performance on pi and the default OS?
|
For what purpose or apps? It still can make a serious difference on what else besides 73Linux scripts you are going to run, like camera stuff, or apps not necessarily related to ham operations.

Planning on starting a new setup from scratch on a PI4.? I know a few months ago, the preferred install was still 32bit due to some gaps in support.?
What's the latest consensus?
