Re: Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig
Bobby, I am using Linux Mint on a desktop PC. I figured my config would be different from yours. So when you select a station does your frequency change to that selected station.?
I am using flrig. I have used flrig to control an ic 7300 and I am currently using flrig to control a xiegu G1M. Did you select the box for rig control when you did the installation. I am guessing you are using 73 linux. If not I can setup one and see what errors I encounter.?
To be clear I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 for this project with the latest x64 RPI OS. My radio= G90 with a digirig
I just attempted this on my Raspberry Pi 5 with the latest x64 RPI OS and fresh install. I encountered the same issue.

Re: Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig
Off work trying to figure this out again... I really do appreciate everyone's help! I did miss the comma after "true" but that didn't seem to change anything. I tried your config but it wouldn't work on this machine.
I definitely have rig control with FLRig and my sound card (digirig) is configured. The Pat mailbox status is: dailing... but nothing happens. I have the same issue with winlink! I can tune in vara hf with winlink but it hangs on sending, too. A few questions: What OS are you using? Are you selecting the G90 or 7200 for the radio in FLRig? Are you using a digirig?

HDMi output resolution not compatible with 32¡± Vizio
My plan was to hang a 32¡± Vizio TV in my shack and run HamClock and other programs. The Raspberry Pi output to a 42¡± worked just fine, but when I set it up with the Vizio 32¡± the image I guess was too big and ended up being crooked on the screen and the top menu was nearly completely obscured. I be,I¡¯ve there should be a solution to this but as a Linux newbie I don¡¯t know how to fix it.

Looks like you just need to change rig ptt_ctrl to true.

Re: Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig
Pat won't let me get past connecting to test any. I'm using the most reliable gateway that I use on my Windows machine fine. I'm actually hitting it with my rain gutter for an antenna on winlink on windows.

Re: Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig
If you can test it on an 80m gateway or any gateway that you know for sure you can reach would be much better. I'm not sure what transceiver?you are using but your audio?levels are important in the vara sound settings. Are you seeing the waterfall on VARA modem transmitting and receiving. Also have you changed any configurations in the terminal using?pat configure.

Re: Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig
Thanks, Kyle
That was my issue getting connected, it was in /usr/bin not /usr/local/bin.
Now that I am connected with the rig it does change the freq, however, it just says "dialing..." and doesn't do anything. I can tune in Vara HF... This right where I got with winlink, too. Any thoughts?

Re: Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig
Hi Bobby,
I had the same issue. What I found in my case using Linux Mint was in Pat menu under Settings/Config - current configuration - the rig control command location was
(? /usr/local/bin/rigctl -m 4 ). I changed it to ( /usr/bin/rigctl -m 4 ). In my case it was not under the local directory.
?
Hope this helps.

73Linux Build & Fetch Solar
I recently pulled a long forgotten Build-A-Pi (3B+) out for some updates and noticed 73Linux is the new format. Decided to just do a new build. Install & updates went off without a hitch. As I was wrapping up I remembered there was a way to add solar data to the Conky pane. Followed the video on Youtube from 12/22/2020 as I didn't see an updated version. Ended up with two issues...
?
First, when I manually run fetchsolar in the terminal to initially populate the fields I see the values plus some empty boxes:
?
Second, even though I added the new/related crontab entry, these values don't appear when the Pi boots up.
?
Did I miss a step or two? Thanks.

Re: Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig
One more thing.? I'm not running the 64 bit version of the OS.? I don't think it's ready for prime time.

Re: Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig
Hi Bobby,
This is how I set up my G90 to work with VARA
?
1. Installed the latest firmware for the g90.? This should be 1.8 for the display unit.? This allows you to switch to upper side band digital (U-D) [might be in 1.79, not sure]
2. Install FLRig
3. Install hamlib
4. Install VARA
5. In the config.json file ($home/.config/pat/pat.json) I changed "myrig" to "FLRig"
?
Once that's done you're ready to start in the following order:
?
FLRig (assuming you have configured it for the G90).
In a terminal window type in rigctld -m 4
Bring up the pat menu
Top menu choice is to start/stop modem, choose that one
Go to start VARA HF modem, choose it
Browser window should pop up.
?
Hope this helps.?

Pat connection fails. Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig
Greetings,
I have been attempting to get winlink and vara hf to run on my pi 4 with the lastest x64 RPI os. Rig control works fine (Flrig), I can tune in Vara, I can use WSJTX just fine. When I try to connect to a winlink HF vara everything goes fine, except at the end it just says connecting and no rig control happens, then it does nothing. So I gave up on winlink in wine and am now tying Pat with KM4ACK's Pat menus. Once again everything is working fine, my sound card is set, Flrig is working, and I have CAT control enabled in the config. Once the html launches the browser, I receive the error below. I'm using a digirig with a Xiegu G90. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Bobby W6IWN
