I ran HamClock this morning and got a message that there is a new verison. I clicked the update message but the update failed.? I ran BAP and it did not show that there is new version of HamClock but I checked the update box and BAP updated my HamClock to the latest version.??

Re: /dev/ttyUSB0 not responding AND aliases
A-a-a-a-g-h! Finger problem again!? I finally spotted the Rig control option in the Current Configuration.? Turned that on, restarted Pat and all is working! FInally!
However, there is still the gpsd problem grabbing hold of /dev/ttyUSB0.

Re: /dev/ttyUSB0 not responding AND aliases
With a call for help, Kevin VK2CKD suggested using? ? ? sudo lsof /dev/ttyUSB0 That told me that gpsd had a hold of it.? Funny, I didn't install the GPS bit. Anyway, killed that and flrig was happy, so was Pat Menu. Went and found Winlink stations, added their aliases fine.? Stopped and restarted Pat Menu but when I selected one of the stations, it did not put the frequency in the box.? So I entered a frequency and got this:
? ? ? QSY ardop: 7183.5
? ? ? ?2020/09/07 15:03:27 Unable to QSY: Unable to get rig frequency: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532: connect: connection refused
'flrig can change the frequency on the radio.
Further testing showed that fldigi and js8call work fine.? When I rebooted, I had the same gpsd problem.? Killed that and started flrig OK. Pat Menu gives the same error as above.

Jason, ? ?I'm running another install attempt of BAP on a Pi 4 2Gig box.? OS is the recommended Buster package. Internet is wired. ? ?Questions first: ? ?- When the script builds the Ruby gems for gps_client and maidenhead, into which directory are those downloaded? ? ?-? Same for specs.4.8.gz? where should it be placed when it's retrieved from via the Ruby API? ? Again tonight, the BAP script could not retrieve? both gems from the Ruby site.? The first error message included a URL for a specs.4.8.gz file.? As the script kept trying, I was able to open a Chromium browser window, enter the url for specs.4.8.gz, and it was downloaded very quickly. Same for maidenhead.? It appears the problem with the gem download isn't a problem with the gem server, at least not the https port. ---

Re: Linux Distro for Ham Radio
Definitely stick with a flavor of Ubuntu when your starting to learn linux. It uses most of the same programs a pi uses. Also like most have said the Mate desktop environment is also nice and lite if you don't mind old windows styling. Don't feel like you have to stick with one thing either because that's half the fun of using Linux.?
4GB of ram should be plenty for a ham shack unless you want to play with SDR stuff too. Ram is cheap enough that you may as well throw a stick in while you have the cover open. I'd also use a small cheap ssd for the OS and put /home on it's own partition.?

Hi Jason Here it is? However I think it needs enhancement to correct the date in the 7300. Icom put?in a soldered rechargeable battery. To replace it one needs to disassemble the radio including undoing several delicate ribbon cables. ( Poor design) I did see a video detailing how to do this or replace with an AA cell. However squirting a few seconds of Python code via the Pi is more elegant.

Re: GPS and Build-a-Pi V3
TL;DR - no grid in Conky
- gpsd isn't auto-starting even though it's supposed to according to /etc/default/gpsd
- RTC isn't auto-starting (and install menu can't see that it's installed)
? -- I2C is activated and RTC's been installed from the initial menu and 3x from the BAP update menu
- JS8Call Utilities won't save GPS information - it has to be re-connected each time it's started
? -- JS8Call Utilities does get grid from GPS
- PAT shows as active/on in Conky on boot - have to killall to shut it down
Not sure what to do next.? Looks I'll reflash the SD card with a fresh install of Buster, put the Pi on the shelf with the Pi1s and Pi2s, and keep using the Win10 laptop for radio stuff.
Good luck to all.

I ran the install overnight and didn't watch the install process.? It appears the install script failed to retrieve the ruby files a second time.

Bill,
? ?I just installed buil-a-pi on a fresh install of raspbian and got the same problem you did.? I noticed a pair of errors when the build script was running that said the ruby site was unreachable.
? ?After multiple reboots and running the update process on everything, I still had no grid in conky, still had satellites in xgps, and no ruby.
? I ran the suggested tests and fixes in this thread and that resulted in no ruby, no data in xgps, and as expected, no grid.
?I guess I'm going to wipe the SD card and run it again.? Tomorrow.? Today was time lost I'll never get back. hihihi

Hi wheez,
For some reason I'd missed seeing the other thread before typing my reply above. Great work you doing.

Given the troubles I had enabling the hotspot, I used an old Nano Router that I had laying around for use camping where It didn¡¯t have internet access. It allowed me to operate my TS2000 sitting by the campfire or lake. One advantage is I could position the hotspot with a 5V battery physically in between the station in my camp trailer an our spot on the beach.?
This is a similar device a friend just purchase that appears to be similar to what I used.?

VARA does seem to send/receive audio on Pi 4B using ExaGear Desktop running Wine?(though I haven't tested sending/receiving actual signals).? VARA could theoretically be hooked by Pat to send/receive signals, though since the VARA developers aren't interested in Linux.
I think the best bet for getting VARA working on the Pi will be an x86 emulator running Wine running VARA on the Pi using either a custom i/o script (hooking into a command-line version of VARA maybe) or using RMS Express (also running on emulated?x86 w/ wine).
