Re: Very New to Pi etc - FT-891 no xmit with wsjtx using flrig
First I'd make sure my soundcard input and output are set correctly in wsjtx and js8call. Are you seeing activity in your waterfall? If not,? definitely check program is pointed to soundcard. Also, since you never used this setup, could be a cable issue. Your audio cable from your soundcard is going to the data mini din connector in the back of the radio, right? Another thing, the 891 settings can be very confusing and a lot of people have issues with them. Jason posted a link not too long ago to another hams website that he used to setup is..might want to look for that one.?

Doesn't sound like a "Linux" issue per se, just sounds like something is not configured correctly for your setup or even an issue with your cables or interface.

I got a complete 5.0 BT USB plug-in that works great for my older R Pi2B+ at a Radio Shack Associate Store ... It may be on an online store .... I have not checked .... for me it is a short drive away to RS store =)?? I got it over 18 months ago and I do not have a part number to give you =)

Re: Pat Winlink latest update
Yeah. I tried reinstalling the forms and nope. We¡¯ll have to wait until the developers fix the issue.

Re: Timing for FT8 and other digital modes
Jim, if you are getting your GPS coordinates correctly then go to the ¡°time.is¡± website and it will tell you if your system clock is accurate. ?Assuming you have a working internet connection of course.

Pat Templates 163 - Stuck in reboot
Hello everyone,
So I updated the templates in Pat this morning in order to update the Severe Wx Template to get working. After the update I didn¡¯t see the template I Pat, so for giggles I decided to reboot my Pi4 (8GB). After not being able to connect to it via VNC after I thought plenty of time a lapsed, the VNC connection would time out. This happened several times. So I connected the Pi to my HDMI TV and it goes through its thing, but stops at the rainbow screen. It¡¯s been sitting there for a long long long while.
I¡¯m wondering if the new Pat template update did something to my Pi since it has been working for weeks now with zero issues. I only go in to use Pat every few days and I disconnect from it. This update was the only thing I¡¯ve updated ?since BAP 3.1.0 came out.?
OR is this just a coincidence in timing???
Any ideas???
Thanks & 73.

Your system should be pulling time from the GPS if you don't have an internet connection. --
