run pat winlink as service
I was installing pat winlink, ardop and pat menu onto my lenovo laptop running ubuntu 20.4. Everything seems to work fine. I guess I missed somewhere in Jason's videos how to get pat to run as a service. Can someone help me out here?

yes it will work with the 857 I'm using it with mine. you may have to do the 2 radios 2 fldigi configs. :
see the forum section : /g/KM4ACK-Pi/message/2084?p=,,,20,0,0,0::relevance,,ft-857,20,2,0,78477140
Hope this helps

Conky not showing correct time and date
Conky is not showing the correct time and date. Gpsmon shows correct time/date but Conky shows yesterday about 11 hours off. Time is changing - seconds are increasing.so Conky is reading something.
How do I get this to correct? I have restarted gpsd and Conky and rebooted but Conky still lags by about that much.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

My iPad works great in the field. Here¡¯s the three apps I use:
VNC Viewer
Shelly (SSH terminal program - paid app)
Network Analyzer (two versions, I use the paid version, this is the free version)
The network analyzer app is great for finding devices on a network (as in ¡°where the heck is my Pi?¡± Lol)

Hi Fred, I am using an ¡°Ultimate¡± Rpi 4 as Jason describes in his video. 2 TB SSD drive. ?I replaced my Windows 10 PC with this Pi and it misses a few windows programs but I am 98% happy with it.
For me the decision of alert threshold temp came down to these considerations:
1. Keep the pi as cool as possible - as close to ambient temp as possible, while
2. Considering fan noise
I have a 120mm fan under the pi which has adjustable speed (a PMW fan). I experimented to find the max fan speed where I still can¡¯t hear it. It turns out that results in a pi CPU temp of about 115 F in my case, so I gave 10 degrees of buffer and set the threshold value there. ?The case of the pi feels slightly warm, but not hot.

Thank you for the advice. ?Now just need to get around and do it, ha ha.

You might try creating a .desktop file. Here's an example of the contents: [Desktop Entry] Name=Application Name GenericName=Generic name of application Comment=a comment about the application Exec=/path/to/filename Terminal=true Type=Application --

Re: Have Conky display the last QSOs from CQRLog
Just a note: If you use Conky-Prefs after making these mods, it will overwrite your changes. Be sure to keep a backup of your custom config files :-) Curious to see what you come up with for weather. When initially researching Conky a couple of years ago, I had seen where others had added weather. Here's one example --

VNC itself is the recommended VNC app. So many terminal apps out there. Find one that works and is in your price range (not all are free). I can¡¯t say that I¡¯ve ever used my iPad to ssh to my Pi in the field though.
Any computer, phone, tablet, etc¡ that can run VNC or use some app or terminal program can ssh into a Pi. I use my iPad to connect to my Pi¡¯s hotspot while doing POTA activations.
Is it possible to connect using an IPad and what is the recommended terminal and vnc apps for an iPad?
thank you

S Johnson,
How did you choose the temp of 125¡ã to alert you? I have wondered what temp was too hot for my pi.
Which raspberry pi are you?using?
Thanks, Fred/N7PN
I answered both my questions in original post.?
To turn TEMP indicator red at certain threshold (125 F in my case):
${if_match ${exec /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp | awk -F "[=\']" '{print($2 * 1.8)+ 32}'} >=125}\
${color red}Temp: $alignr ${exec /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp | awk -F "[=\']" '{print($2 * 1.8)+ 32}'} F\
$else \
${color white}Temp: $alignr ${exec /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp | awk -F "[=\']" '{print($2 * 1.8)+ 32}'} F\
${endif}
To show VPN status in Conky:
${font Piboto:size=09}${color orange}VPN:${hr 2}
${color white}${execi 5 nordvpn status}
?
Conky is very powerful and can do alot of interesting stuff.?

Re: FLDIGI won't install - SOLVED

While attempting to install FLDIGI 4.1.19 on a fresh pi this evening I discovered that it failed due to a missing library. If you run into this, run the following command:
sudo apt install libudev-dev
and then use BAP to install FLDIGI again. A bug report has been created so this can be fixed in the next release of BAP.
Thank you Jason! Watching the livestream right now with you & Jason from Ham Radio 2.0 and just found out about this. Nice, as I just did a nuke & pave of my Pi. Doing it the right way from the start. I don't recall seeing this in my email, but I could have deleted by accident.
Thanks & 73.

Re: Errors on USB flash drive boot
Noobs does partitioning differently.
Reasons to do USB:
Performance. USB thumb drives are much faster, especially on Pi4 USB3
Durability: USB drives use different memory technology, and can handle many times the number of read/write cycles than SDCards.
Price: USB drives are usually cheaper the SDCards per GB.
I do lots of support work for some apps on Github, and almost exclusively use USB over SDCards.

Re: Errors on USB flash drive boot
Yes. NOOBS. Because I¡¯m a Pi noob! Newb.?
I didn¡¯t want to do a fresh install, but let¡¯s do it anyway!!!?
I might grab another SD card and just have 2 ?so that way it should be easier. Not sure why I wanted to get the USB flash drive. Stupid me.
Thanks for the help Kevin!

Go for a fresh image. Download the Raspberry PiOS image and put on USB with Etcher or Win32DiskImager (my prefered) or use RPiImager available for most OSs...

Re: Errors on USB flash drive boot
Novel idea. Did it.
Now I got a huge dump of info¡?
Seems to be a kernel panic. ¡°End kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root FD on unknown-block(8,2)¡±.

Then pop it back an the Pi and try to boot.
