I am having this same problem also. First time working with "Build A Pi". It either looks like the onboard wireless is disabled. Keeps saying no wireless interfaces available when I go to the networking icon in the taskbar. Any suggestions on where I am going wrong in setting up the Hotspot feature on the Pi? Going to keep at it and will post what I figure out here. Linux is a new path for me at this point.

Re: AX25 + SignaLink Not Keying Radio
Jason,
I tried it in Digital, Packet, and FM. ?Also changed config to reflect 2M=FM, and then =PKTFM to see if it made any difference, and again cycled through every mode. ?I thought I had a lead on it when it was keying up for just a second, but now that’s gone away too and I’m stuck.
Very respectfully,
Grant

Grant, What "mode" is the radio in. I ran into this same situation yesterday with another ham. Windows box, signalink, 857D. He was trying ARDOP but the symptoms were the same. Had red PTT on signalink and no PTT on the radio. We swapped the 857 to "DIG" mode and everything began working. With packet, try "PKT' mode. Forgive me if we have already discussed this. --

That was it, I used my cell and connected to 10.10.10.10 and was able to log in. It's funny something that I know. I forgot. That you for the reminder.?

I'm planning on going mobile with YAAC and MOBILINK Bluetooth. In my home, I have no issues. I'll be connecting to my Samsung Tablet?which has data to pull the?map part of YAAC. I'll be using my Bluetooth TNC. In theory,?the map should load.?
I like to use PI 4 using KM4ACK build. This is my Test PI for Jason builds. For power, I'll be using a 12 v with a USB 5 v plug with 2 12 cigar plugs in the. I'm hoping I don't have any hiccups.
Yesterday my Aprsdroid shut down?because of overheating. I hope PI 4 doesn't have any issues.
I'm hoping my USB GPS dongle will work instead of my static GPS.

Re: AX25 + SignaLink Not Keying Radio
But strangely, FLDIGI will key both Signalink and 857 if I xmit or tune on it.

And now I’m back to the radio not keying. ?Signalink will illuminate PTT to red, but it won’t actually key the radio (for AX25).
Interesting thought. ?I run that command so I can do kiss attach, or I just run Direwolf from the HamRadio menu Jason set up. ?Also, I wouldn’t know where to put it in Direwolf config.
I’m going to look at the kiss parameters… maybe there are some delays that need tweaking? On Jun 7, 2020, at 10:54 AM, Don Poaps < va7dgp@...> wrote:

NICE!! Glad you have it up and running. Yesterday, I ran the new 8gb pi 4 for about 6 hours in the field. Outside temp was 94F. I didn't keep tabs on the temp of the pi but I didn't have a failure :-) I do run a fan on all of my pi 4's which does add a touch to power consumption.
