WiFi dongle?

Maybe take the opportunity to upgrade to an RPi 4?

Sorry you're having issues, good luck,

Re: #ARDOP error Build a Pi #ardop

 

Thanks for the reply Kelly, sorry I didn't post the whole screen shot.? I have ran the both the wget and the chmod commands listed, the end result was the message I posted.? I believe I may have gotten it running, I found in one of Jason's videos the sudo apt --fix-broken install commands, and I believe it has fixed it.? More testing today.

Thanks for your help.

Re: GPS / winlink issue with 73linux & bookworm 64 bit

 

That did the trick Kelly!! Thanks a bunch!!

Noe the grid doesn't show up in the main menu, but as far as I am concerned, that is fluff. But it does show up in Find Gateways - which was the deal breaker.

So I am going to give my brain a rest and in a day or so post in this thread all that I had to do to get the GPS going in Conky and Pat just in case others run into this

Thanks also to Jason for jumping into the fray as well.

#ARDOP error Build a Pi #ardop

 

I have a Pi5 that I am using to for the Build a Pi.?
I receive the following when following the ARDOP install in the Pi 4 build notes:
wz4ctx@mobilepi:~ $ cd ~/ardop
wz4ctx@mobilepi:~/ardop $ ./piardopc 8515 plughw:2,0 plughw:2,0
bash: ./piardopc: cannot execute: required file not found

What file is it missing?
Up to this point,? I have everything in the notes working, I have a Digirig hooked to the Pi, but no radio hooked up at this point.

Re: GPS / winlink issue with 73linux & bookworm 64 bit

 

Kelly,

Thanks for the input. I rummaged around the pat files and couldn't see which file to make the change. Honestly, I know enough about this to just be dangerous, and I feel like I am very close.

So which file will I find the PATCONFIG= variable in to change.

Thanks in advance

Re: Kenwood TH-D74 bluetooth connection to Pi

 

I went back and disconnected the two bluetooth devices (the radio and a keyboard). ?I also removed the radio from bluetooth. ?(reminder running Raspberry Pi 4, 64 bit Bookworm)

To pair radio, I used the terminal and Bluetoothctl command. ?(scan on, saw the TH-D74, copied MAC address and paired to it, then used the TRUST command for the MAC address). ?Note, in Bluetoothctl, it said it was paired but then moment later said it was not connected, but this did not impact the Trust command and no error messages. ?Exit Bluetoothctl. ?Using "sudo rfcomm connect 0 'Mac Address' 1" ?I was able to make the com port. ?Under the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, the TH-D74 now shows green and is connected.

I can know close the connection, but go back to it by just issuing the rfcomm connect command again. ?TH0-D74 is set to auto connect. ?But.....

I don't seem to be able to get any data transfer between the radio and the computer. ?Radio interface is set to Bluetooth for KISS TNC, radio is in the KISS 12 mode, and packet are being heard by the radio. ?But, when connected to YAAC vial rfcomm0, no data transfer either to or from the radio/computer. ?I did notice that the bluetooth icon on the radio is not blue but gray, indicating bluetooth is not active, perhaps. ?The radio is connected to the computer because if I turn the radio off, the computer "hangs up" the connection. ?I seem to be missing a step. ?Any ideas?

===============

SO it APPEARS that all is well, but I am still getting the same result. That is, when I go into Manage Pat Winlink and try to either set grid by GPS or manually, it appears to have done so but it really hasn't. Evidenced by going into Find Winlink Gateways and do a search, no gateways show up.

Additionally, in the main PAT menu, where the grid is supposed to show up it is blank. - see attached.

One possible clue, during the run of 73.sh? an error was thrown when pat was installed. I was able to capture it:


Reading package lists...
jq: error: Could not open file /pat/config.json: No such file or directory

Mike,

You can manually set the grid in the Pat Configure file. Run:
pat configure
and you will find where to add it near the top of the file. Just be careful in this file as json is very picky about syntax. One comma out of place will corrupt the file. Backing up first is a good idea. To find where your config file lives, run:

Re: Random issues I've been coming across this week - multiple boards

 

Man, I've got 5 Pi4s all running Buster like gangbusters! every time I tried new versions of Raspbian (and especially the 64 bit versions) I had problems like you're having. Of course Buster isn't supported anymore but it's working good for me.

I'm trying three different builds to see what type of board PC I want to use in a go box with a Xiegu G90 as my main POTA kit. All other hardware is a Digirig and the same screen.

First board: Le Potato == Installed their build of Raspbian, then 73 Linux. The first time I try to TX on any app, radio locks up with 0W TX
Second PC - Dell Inspiron I had lying around - Ubuntu 22.04 with 73 Linux - Can't install JS8Call and wsjt-x at the same time due to repo conflicts
Third board - RasPi 4B 4GB with 64bit Raspbian and 73 Linux - Fldigi is extremely slowing down the machine.

I don't want to use a laptop as my main POTA machine, so I'm going to work on figuring out what the issue is with the Pi 4 first. I'm not seeing much about Fldigi slowing down on Pi 4, but I'll throw a separate thread out for it.
