Re: IC 705 gpsd and FLRIG conflict.
That got it thanks. All working together. Still don¡¯t have it posting Gridsquare to Conky but I just can run cgps command and it¡¯s available.? Enjoying the Build a Pi ?and learning! Thanks again, Paul?

Hi,
I¡¯m new to the raspberry 4 and build a pi. I have most everything working bit grid square on Conky. The GPS works off the IC-705 only by itself, this was confirmed by gpsd check. If it¡¯s running I can¡¯t operate FLRIG or VNC. I have to turn off the 705 reboot raspberry then turn on 705 after the raspberry is on, then GPS no longer works and FLRIG and VNC operate fine.
this group has helped immensely getting up and running, Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem. Thanks!
By running: ls /dev/serial/by-id/you will find there are two listings for the 705 which are something similar to: usb-Icom_Inc._IC-705_IC-705_12007996-if00 usb-Icom_Inc._IC-705_IC-705_12007996-if02 The one that ends in "if00" is the one that should be used in FLRIG and the one that ends in "if02" should be used for the GPS connection. This will avoid the conflict. First use the GPS update tool and set the GPS to the one ending in "if02" and then configure FLRIG to use the other one and you should be good. --

I'm using the 2.0 ports due to the issue with the 3.0 I'm guessing the same thing I'll get another ordered and see if that changes anything? thank you for all the help?

Re: flrig setup with Kenwood TS-2000
Tom,
I bought the cable off of ebay. Please see the attached photo.

What cable are you using between the your Signalink USB and your TS-2000? Is my assumption correct that it connects to the COM port on TS-2000? Is the cable commercially available or did you build it?
Thanks again.

Since you says that you have never seen the blinking green light even when outside, there is certainly an issue with the GPS. Are you using a USB 3 device in one of the USB 3 ports on the Pi? This is know to create enough RFI to jam the GPS If you aren't using USB 3 and still can't get a lock while outside, it's possible that you have a defective GPS unit. --

I solved the issue by re-installing Hamlib and now Fldigi, WSJT-x, JS8CALL and Pat applications all work using Flrig. I am assuming that something had gotten set wrong in the Hamlib config files and that a re-install corrected it Thanks, George AK4NG

Yes sir thats the one I have.?

Re: BAP 3.1 Patch screen multiple patches
I have a couple other patch tool ideas but don't have a github account, so will note them here - low priority, just ideas:
1. Check for existing successfully applied patches on a system and discontinue displaying them on the list in the update tool
2. Close the terminal window spawned by each patch once the patch is fully applied
3. Remove the test patch and then, if there are no non-applied patches for a given system, display a message like "You are up to date with all patches!"

It could have something to do with the way you fixed your other issue. Since I don't know specifically what you did while manually editing things, I have no way of know the current state of the Pi. It might be best to start with a fresh build and not manually edit the files but use hotspot tools to manage the hotspot. --

Let's make sure we are talking about the same GPS If so, you should see a green blinking light on the GPS unit once it has a lock. Software on the Pi (installed or not) will not have any impact on the GPS unit getting a lock. If you don't have the green blinking light, the Pi will never get a grid because the GPS doesn't have a fix on the satellites. --

Re: FLRIG loses connectivity with 891

Ok did the patch for hamlib. It installed
I restart rpi And start flrig Then i started pat menu and start ardop modem. Ardop off red turned to ardop on green Rigctl off red went to rigctl on green
But then i went to mailbox. Select a sysop and freq changed but end up with qso failure and line through freq
I did also rigctl -vvv -m 1 f Screen message as follows Opened rig mode 1 ¡®Dummy¡¯ Rigctl_parse: rig not open¡trying to reopen Rigctl_parse: RIG EIO? main: i/o error main: rig_close retcode=-1 main: rig_open retcode = 0
I then realized i started flrig with old hamlib? I loaded any radio in and then re added icom 7100. Enter init and i tried pat menu again Start ardop modem Rigctl on green Select sysop Freq select And ready for qso And all 100% working now
Thanks Jason for walking us through step by step. Much appreciated
Only qsstv that still have a problem with ptt but that is a qsstv issue after they upgraded. They must still sort their version out Greetings from the Namib

What is interesting is that wsjtx, flrig, jtdx,js8call and cqrlog all work. But i think they have hamlib as part of them package and not looking at external hamlib maybe?
When i start pat menu and it ends with pat mailbox running then in black screen in mailbox the following
Unable to get frequency from rig my-rig : dial tcp 127.0.0.1:4532: ?connect : connection refused
Should rig my-rig not have a name pointing to what radio i use. Like icom 7100?

This is a pretty old version of hamlib. 4.3 is the latest version. You might try updating to a more current version. You can use the BAP update tool to update. Both of you should run the following command: rigctl -vvv -m 1 fand see if you get any errors. ? --

Here is what I get:
pi@AK4NG-pi4B:~ $ rigctl -vvv -m 1 f
Opened rig model 1, 'Dummy'
rigctl_parse: rig not open...trying to reopen
rigctl_parse: RIG_EIO?
main: i/o error

I just remembered the other thread where you had trouble with the WiFi. If you used hotspot tools to disable the hotspot, this would explain the hostapd.service not being available. --
