Re: Unable to run BAP Update tool
Same issue it installs when I try run it get error Failed to execute child process “xterm” (No such file or directory)
This pi does have patch on it

Please send me your FT-891 settings. I am trying to figure out why my Pi's don't work as they should.
As a starter, to help me diagnose my problem, I need your FT-891 settings (i.e.those settings that you have changed from factory settings)?
My hardware setup includes:
1. Signalink
2. USB cable between Pi? & the FT-891
3. Pi 3B or a Pi 3B+
4. FT-891 (Later, I will also use a FT-818)
5. KB, Mouse, Monitor (I will go headless later, using my Chromebook)
My primary interest at the moment is getting WSJT-X FT8 going for POTA portable operation. I have loaded BaPi on both versions of the Pi. Separately, I have loaded WSJT 2.4 and hamlib 4.2 independantly on to the Raspberry OS. This works mostly except power level. BaPi versions won't transmit.
A while back, maybe a couple of years, I had the Pi's going with WSJT/Hamlib.... thoroughly documented. This no longer works with the advent of WSJT 2.4 and Hamlib 2.4. PS: I have been using FT8 every since it came out, mostly in my base station FT-991......still working to this day.
Eventually, I'll get around to using other features of the BaPi system.
Thanks,

Re: JS8Call Audio frustration
Problem Solved (as far as I can tell)
I run JS8Call in SSB mode instead of Digital mode so I needed to change menu #106 "SSB Mic Select" to "REAR". ?? For some reason I think win7 was letting me get away with leaving #106 set to "Mic".
...and for some reason the front mic is still working fine in SSB

Re: JS8Call Audio frustration
&*%@^...? I just tried to edit my last post but managed to delete it some how (try #2) I changed the mode "Settings>Radio>Rig Options>Mode" to Data/Pkt per Benjamin's suggestion and I get audio going to the radio (got a reply to an HB).? BUT... when the radio goes into Data USB mode I get an ugly splatter on the waterfall. Nothing is being transmitted but the radio is sending a nasty tone to JS8Call. Still some bugs to sort out but at least it's progress. Thanks for the help! Fritz NM5XD P.S.? I do have #142 VOX set to DATA

Re: JS8Call Audio frustration
Fritz, try setting VOX to data on the radio menu (menu 142).

Re: FLRiG won't work with IC-7610
#flrig
dmesg produces a lot of output. ?The key is to run the command just after you plugged the usb into the pi. Another command you might find useful is:
ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
Build-a-pi uses these designations for devices. ?Check out the GPS line if you have a GPS on your pi. ?Update GPS does not work if you put /dev/ttyAMC0 in the line. ?It uses the really long reference from the ls command above.
Just a thought.

Hi
I don't know if I ever saw a standard for these power connectors,
sometimes called coaxal
connectors too, but have tested a lot of them and all I have
tested were center positive. So
I just assumed a standard, as usual you mileage may very. So I
always check.

Norrin,
I checked with Powerwerx. The tech guy I spoke with said he
was 99.9% sure the cable was positive center. He felt it was the
standard configuration. Mine should arrive Saturday. If
different I’ll post.?

This is the one i have for the Pi 4....and
with a small mod for the power port, works well...
But i was asking for the Pi3b, i am looking to put the

Re: JS8Call Audio frustration
Trying to do the exact same thing.? So glad to find this thread. Right-clicking the speaker icon on Pi menu bar, though, just gives me 'No audio devices found' Is there some power-up order I've got wrong? My F991-a menu matches the shots above. When JS8Call matches the above, I cannot match the audio because those are not available. Just quit WSJTX (tried it, some problem) and started JS8Call to show my menu. Transmit light started flashing as though I've got two things trying to transmit at once? There is nothing plugged into the front of the radio. Only power, ant, and USB plugged into the back.  ?

Re: Can't get PAT to communicate with a station

So Scott, I did find this in the winlink forums
The items these folks had were simple
1.? A potentially corrupted whitelist
2.? Email address not on the white list
3.? A forgotten forward setup in the winlink settings
I know its a long shot but thought i would put it out just in case

Unable to run BAP Update tool
I have a problem with the Update tool. ?When I attempt to run the process I recieve the following. ? Error: ?Invalid desktop entry file ‘/usr/local/share/applications/build-a-pi-desktop’
Another question: how do I determine the version of BAP?
Take care,

Afterwards, I just needed to use the correct command above to open FLRIG for the radio I wanted to use. This could easily be taken to the next level by creating new menu items in the main Pi menu with shortcuts to the preferred radio.
Jason, could you tell us more. I am a bit lost on how to do that. I will create the two config files, but sure how to manage them. Les WD5BYQ

Re: Solar Data / Conky Install
#bap
I am not familiar with those particular lines but most of the conkyrc files start with a tag similar to?${font Arial:bold:size=10}? set the size to something inline to what you desire, if that tag is missing in the lines you are using, it can be added.

[Edited Message Follows]
After updating .conkyrc with the 2 lines from solar-data.txt, the conky display wrongly increases the font size for the solar data compared to the setting i had for the Conky Display.
So to reset the Conky Display to my liking by running Conky-Prefs. When the Conky Display is refreshed, the modification I just made to .conkyrc is overlayed with an original copy which excludes the lines just added from solar-help.txt
Strange... Any suggestions!

Re: Can't get PAT to communicate with a station
#pat-mail
other than the volume settings on the signalink, which I had pretty dialed in when everything was working, are there any volume controls in the PI that I should look at?? I don't remember having to do anything before, but just a thought.
Also, I have a new cable coming for the signalink to radio....just in case.
