Argon One case and poor WLAN
as the WLAN using the Argon One case is very poor, I want to use a USB WLAN dongle. What do I have to do, that I can use the WLAN dongle for connecting to local wlan and also running as accesspoint instead of the build in wlan of the raspi 4

Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed
Hello Jason:
I loaded the 64-bit OS and then ran the BAP beta installation as per your directions. Pi4 2GB and a 32GB SD Card.
I installed all of the apps on you test list and ran them after install; all seemed to install and run correctly.
Two notes:
1. During the installs the Update box had many "Warning" entries in purple. I assume you know about these.
2. The TQSL application said there was a newer version available, even though BAP Update said latest version installed.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for all your work.

? Hello all, Well I am a newbie to PI..? ?First Off I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this huge project!!! Especially Jason for for taking so much time and effort to make all of the videos and scripts need to make this all happen!!? I am running the ultimate pi for hardware, as suggested in the video. I have debian bullseye loaded and running.
I get to the build a pi script and I get a flag saying my user name should be pi.? Somewhere I filled in the blanks and put in a username.? ? How do I fix this?? ? ??
? I do plan to run this machine headless and may run into problems.... The tablet I plan to use is pretty old but still works, with this said my tablet is to old to run the VNC viewer recommended here I have installed OMX Remote.? ? If there is a better one to use I would appreciate any advice.
?At this time I will let this soak until tmo.
Thank you in advance for the help.? KF0EXO? 73

Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed
Build-a-pi install ran smooth on a new 64bit OS installed on a 64Gb SD card.? The Raspberry pi 4 w/ 8Gb on board memory.
I have tested the following:
FLrig - set up and worked
Fldigi - set up and worked (using Flrig for rig control)
JS8Call - set up and sent out Heartbeat (using Flrig for rig control)
WSJT - set up and made several FT8 contacts (using Flrig for rig control)
GPS - worked using USB connected GPS and posted to Conky with correct Grid.
GPS - worked using iphone with GPS2IP app and posted to Conky with correct Grid.
Conky OK
Tested PAT Menu with the following results:
?- ARDOP modem - got "Modem Failed" message.? But it did start Pat Winlink.
?- Packet modem - modem started ok.? it started Pat Winlink and was able to make connection.
?- Mobilinkd (Beta) - Using a Mobilinkd TNC3 started the modem OK but did not start Pat Winlink.? ?I stopped?
? ?all modems and then selected Packet modem so it started Pat Winlink.? Then went back and stopped all
? ?in the Pat menu.? Then selected the Mobilinkd (Beta) and it started the TNC3 modem.? Then went to Pat?
? ?Winlink and selected X.25 and connect.? Worked fine and pulled down received message (the one I sent out?
? ?when using the packet modem.
Jason - Pat Menu Mobilinkd (Beta).? I went back to my old build-a-pi on 32 bit OS and found the same thing.? That it did not start Pat Winlink.? So it is not in the 64 bit build-a-pi build.

Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed
I had installed the 64-bit OS a couple of weeks ago and ran BAP.? Flrig aand fldigi did not install. I hd to indtall js8call twice to get it to work properly.? Several attempts at BSP update failed to get flrig installed.
WIth the new BAP, I moved the old directory aside and ran BAP again.? It detected the programs that I had already installed. I tried flrig and fldigi again, with the same result - not there.
Is there somewhere in the log that I can look to see what the problem is?

Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed
I'm not beta testing but running bullseye 64bit on rpi4 and rpi3 running fldigi and pat winlink. I haven't tried packet yet or any other modes. My gps isn't working on it yet.

Re: Pros and cons of 64 bit build?
I currently have a 64bit build of raspberry pi os on my 8gb pi 4. I believe it is a bit quicker than the 32bit version was. Install size of base system isn't much bigger if any.
I I haven't done any benchmarking tests but it feels faster to me.

Kevin,
Thanks for the detailed log. I'll take a look at VNC viewer this afternoon and double check the link that BAP is using to download.

Crontab is your issue. Run this command: crontab -ePick nano if you have never used the crontab editor before. Now delete all but these two lines
#Winlink Gateway Auto Start at Boot
@reboot sleep 20 && /usr/local/bin/gateway-start
Press ctrl+s to save then ctrl+x to exit. Reboot and you should be in business. --

Pros and cons of 64 bit build?
What might we expect the pros and cons of a working 64 bit build to be?
Faster? Smaller?
Faster, bigger?
More efficient memory use?
Would appreciate comments of those that might know!
TY

Thanks for the response, Bryan.

32-bit.? I tried 64-bit before BaP v3 came out and really had a mess.? Things may have settled with Bullseye 64-bit by now.

Re: sound settings in raspberry pi 4 and in wsjt-x
#wsjt-x
#flrig
Hi Doug, I have a G90 that works well with WSJTX. Unfortunately, my connection does not include a digirig or the Xiegu C19, so these settings may not work for you. I run a line from the ACC jack that splits in two and goes directly into an inexpensive usb sound card connected to the PI. I primarily use Pat winlink, JS8call and WSJT-X and don't make any changes in between.? My settings on the G90 are:
Mic gain 10
input line
AGC off
aux in 8
aux out 15
The Pi pulse audio volume control is set to 56% on my soundcard input and 51% on output.
?
Hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else you need.

I was having trouble with not being able to access VNC and the system seemed to have frozen several times over the first week or so of install. A restart would fix it. But I came here to let you know that I have applied all available updates and have not had any problems with the system or any applications that I use for at least the past 5 days now. That said, I only use Conky, JS8Call, WSJTx Flrig and Patwinlink. Most of my SDR stuff is on my Windows machine with a different radio. I am on 32bit Bullseye.

Hi Dan
I don't think I can help, but a question, is this on a 32bit or
64bit system?

Am I the only one struggling with Bullseye?? Setup: RPi 4, 8GB.
Eviciv 7" touchscreen/case + VNC.
It seems like every time I turn around, something stops working.?
Right now, it's screen blanking on the physical device.? For the
time being, at least, while configuring and testing, I turn off
screen blanking while I do most work via VNC.? The screen was
staying on until, after a couple reboots, it started blanking
after awhile.? Sure enough, the switch in RPi Configuration (GUI)
was turned back 'on'. Turned it back off and went back to work.?
Online research shows Bullseye has been plagued with related
trouble for months.
Today, the "switch" is still off, but the screen is still blanking
and the touchscreen is unresponsive.? Reboot and the physical
device (display, touch UI, and BT keyboard) works fine until the
screen blanks.? VNC continues working, regardless.? I'm confident
that the physical device is stable because it's completely stable
upon a new OS flash.? Yesterday, CubicSDR with an RSP2Pro suddenly
(and again) broke while I was working on something completely
unrelated and seemingly innocuous.?
I'm becoming convinced that Bullseye, components, and applications
are not sufficiently stable for the appliance-like functionality
that I'm seeking.? Not being new to Linux (25 years) or RPi
"appliances", I'm really getting frustrated trying to get a basic
set of BaP functions all configured and running stable.? Past
experience suggests this isn't a hardware issue.? Even doing
(semi-) regular SD card copies for system snapshots, I've had to
start from scratch a couple times.? The SDR setup went kaput
yesterday right after I started seeing "updates available"
although I didn't install anything.? At this point, I'm going to
have to turn off all updates and maybe even disconnect the network
altogether.
Anyone else seeing similar?

Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed
I'll just toss my "Installed everything with no problem" in there as well.
I don't have a radio currently to hook up to, but will be trying them with wfview on a remote station as I was using the previous 32 bit build that way. No hiccups during install at all.

Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed
I was able to install the entire BAP package. Now to start actually trying out some of the programs...
Nice job...
