Re: New modem and Hotspot tools issue
I have. If I turn it off and back in again it recovers the normal WiFi signal for a while then reverts back to the double arrows. Occasionally it will drop all together to the arrows with the red x¡¯s then say no WiFi devices available. Like it forgets it has a WiFi module. On reboot it comes up normal for a while then goes back to double arrows.?

I ran into a weird GPS issue during field day. The GPS was working fine. I had a lock and everything was good on the pi. Next I plugged in an external USB thumb drive (something I normally don't do in the field) and the GPS stopped. Not sure what's causing this and I hope to dig into it later this week. The external thumb drive is only a data drive that I use to backup the home directory. The GPS didn't start working again until I removed the thumb drive and rebooted the pi. I have been able to repeat this again and again. Try unplugging all non essential USB devices and see if this helps. --

Re: Hamclock Update fails
Try using the BAP update script to update Ham Clock. Even though it doesn't show it needs an update, put a check mark beside hamclock. This will force it to update the app. It will also give you the option to change the install size. --

For my pi's that use the , I use this case and leave the top plate off. If anyone else has found a case that actually fits, I would love to hear about it. --

In following the Build-A-Pi setup, I notice that the basic case does not work with the power hat.
What other cases has this group selected when using the power hat?

Re: New modem and Hotspot tools issue
I'm just reading about this issue Michael. sorry if this seems simplistic but have you clicked the double arrows and a dialogue should appear that says "Turn on wifi"?

Hi all,
Any ideas on how to get the Kenwood TH-D74 sending and receiving email messages with Pat? It has a KISS TNC built-in...

Re: New modem and Hotspot tools issue
Fresh Flash of Raspbian OS, set localization options, NO Build a pi....let it sit for about 30 minutes...Double Arrows are back!
Obviously has nothing to do with Build a Pi. Either it is something hardware related to the pi itself or it is my new router forcing something.
Guess I will just have to live with it for now.

Opening Hamclock (ESPHamclock), it notifies that v. 2.47 is available, and asks to download it. This update fails with an overwrite error. I know why this is happening, since the BAP puts the program in a different location than the developer expects ( /pi/ESPHamclock ). Running BAP does not show that this program needs updating.
No biggie, I am sure that you have bigger fish to fry, but ............. :)

My issues are identical! I did check, and i ran both systemctl is-active gpsd systemctl is-active chronyd, and they say active. When I run gpsmon -n? it shows no satalites. Yet I do have a steady blink on the gps unit. I am totally flustered. Were in is sitting I ussually pick up quite a few sats. Now if we can find a solution. Stell works with the PI3. I did an install that had other issues with the 4, but the gps was fin. Rather than try to find the issue, I decided to start over, and now everything else is fin but the GPS???

Re: New modem and Hotspot tools issue
Thank you for the suggestions. I have gone to a back up sd card first to see if something has been corrupted in the card. I had to use Jason¡¯s nuclear option on the other card to get the flmsg to update using build a pi. I do not recall how long after that I got the new modem. I will try the update_config=0 next if this doesn¡¯t work.?

Has anyone used the Pat menu on Hampi W3DJS raspberry pi image?? I try to run it, the hourglass spins but the pat menu doesnt come up.
The only thing I've done to the image is remove pulse audio for a bluetooth speaker issue.
Any ideas what I can try? The pat menu videos look to show clean installs

Couple suggestions for you:
First, delete the duplicate entries in wpa_supplicant.conf.
This can confuse the Pi.?
Second, try changing the line update_config=0 so your file looks like below. I¡¯m wondering if the system feels free to try to change its networking config on the fly.?
Also, when the network is down you can try to run the ifconfig command and post the results.
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=0
country=US
?
network={
? ? ? ? ssid="CenturyLink9131"
? ? ? ? psk="****"
? ? ? ? key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
One caveat, update_config=0 May cause an issue with hotspot tools.

Re: unable to resize update window for build-a-pi
Joe, Thank you very much for your helpful reply.? That did the trick.? I have now added your suggestion to my "to-do" list of building a pi.? New and still learning!!? Thanks. 73, Paul? (NC9W) ?

Did you change the resolution in in raspi config?
Sound like you need to run the following:
sudo raspi-config
select advanced options
select A5 Resolution
select your desired screen resolution ( I change it to 1920x1080 but you may want something different depending on the computer you are using to VNC with).
reboot
BTW
When I set up my Pi I do it headless.? After copying image to the sd card, I add two files to the root of the sd card.??
ssh (to allow me ssh access)
wpa_supplicant (configured for my network to set up my wireless network)
When I first ssh into the Pi I run raspi-config to do some basic setup including turning on VNC and adjusting screen resolution.? Then I can use VNC from there.
Good luck.

Re: New modem and Hotspot tools issue
Lots of research seems to be a sampling of this issue going back several generations in various forms.
My hypothesis...something on the network is fighting the pi for the address. I have set a static ip address to 192.168.0.230. This was the address before the new modem. So far it is stable for nearly 1 hour. I won't call it solved yet but it is looking? promising.

additional info that may help... ?
I was having problem with the GPS using an open case. I changed to a metal case and the GPS worked.
I had a wired LAN "break" that I fixed... NOW, with the wifi off I am able to use the open RPi (no case). The RFI from the computer may be the wifi not rf "noise".
I guess for $10, the GPS is not the top of the line. Yes, I have used one with my laptop for years portable, but the wifi was not used. If I had wifi I would get my time from the NET - not the GPS... I guess "it" is telling me to get out of the house and operate portable, away from wifi...

RFI "issue"? ???
Problem using the "standard" GPS with my stacked (open) RPi. I think the same problem will happen with plastic cases.
Not a build-a-pi V3 issue...
I re-mounted a RPi into a metal case with a heat sink and small fan and the GPS works...? You, decide...? It would not work before, window or not (open case).? I have a metal case with plastic top/bottom that had problems, too.
It runs about 10C hotter, though.
Day, two...? More testing.? moved the GPS from the south window to the West window.? More sats.? It will work with GPS in the middle of the room (just not well).? A full metal case made a big difference.? With the open RPi, the GPS won't work (window or not).
Is your RPi case metal?

I installed the following using the "Build-a-pi" script:
FLRig

WSJT-X
GridTracker
ARDOP
DireWolf
Hotspot Tools
JS8Call
Pat Menu
Pi-APRS
Xaster
The script ran without a hitch and other then some stupid user configuration fouls ups on my part, the system is working pretty much as Jason intended. Here is my problem.
On occasion, the GPS just stops working.. for no reason.? When I reboot the Pi, its not even recognized by the hardware.? I disconnect and reconnect it.. No Joy..? I connect it to another older Pi3 running an older version of the Build-a Pi script..? and the GPS works fine. Once it starts working on the Old Pi... If I disconnect it and reconnect it to the new Pi4... It starts working again.? I have had it running for about 12 hours now and its still going... But sometime today..? It will stop and I will experience the exact same thing as described above. It's happened three times now over the past 5 days, exactly the way I described.
I'm baffled ...? ?I've order another new GPS, just in case its hardware related.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?? BTW, almost everything else is working perfectly
