Re: using BAP with Easydigi modem and Yaesu FT-1500; Patron

 

Jason,

Does BAP rely on VOX to key a transmitter (at least in VHF FM)?? The configuration menu(s) have a section for PTT.? Does this send a signal to the USB port to key the transmitter?? If so, there probably is a way to do this.? I will continue to try to find people who have successfully implemented it with BAP and the FT-1500/FT-8900.

I don't want to use a Signalink as it is too big for the physical package I am trying to build.??

Thanks,? Alan K6ZY

Thanks for the reply Jason. I have the software installed and should have my gos dongle tomorrow. I figured that was why it showed an error where the grid square normally would¡¯ve be on conky.?

Hey Bryan,

This page has some help for 7300 owners. Scroll down to the section that reads "Can you help with radio X". There's a great How To for the 7300 written by another Patron.

The grid will display in conky once the GPS has a lock provided you installed the GPS software.

Alan,

From a quick search, it doesn't look like that rig is supported by FLRIG or rigctl. You may have to go with a sound card like the Signalink that has a VOX circuit built in that can key the rig. There may be other options that a FT-1500 owner can point out that I am unaware of.

Is there VOX. As far as I know there's no vox in Easy Digi keyer

Re: CHIRP not updating, BAP 3.0.2

 

Kevin:

As I understand it, BAP can tell if some apps need an update, but not all of them.? If it can't it just says INSTALLED.

But if you fire up an app and it says it has a newer version, you can update it with BAP by putting a check mark next to it.? That will do an unconditional update.

I have the pi4 running v3 of pi build. I am having issues trying to get the 7300 to communicate with the pi. I know it¡¯s a user error(id10t code)lol. Any help would be appreciated, any things to check kinda stuff. Also on a side note how can I get coney to display my maidenhead grid? ?





BTW Jason,KM4ACK you have impressed me enough that I have set up an account on Patreon!
Re: Hotspot not working

 

You need to join the Raspberry PI. on the same network. log into 10.10.10.10 with wifi and VNC into 10.10.10.10. It works as I use it out in the car.?

Jerry,

Please run

When you say you are not getting the Pi showing up, do you mean a new SSID is not available? You will not be able to connect to 10.10.10.10 using VNC until you connect your device to the Pi hotspot and use the password you input during setup.

Re: CHIRP not updating, BAP 3.0.2

 

Opening CHIRP I get a message that a new version is available (20200718), and that I should update as soon as possible. The installed version is daily-20200710. Same thing on the 4gb Pi4, except that installed version is daily-20200711. Ran another update using BAP on the 2gb machine, no change.

Off to church, I will check back in this afternoon.

Jerry,
Open Chrip, choose Help->About and verify that Chirp is/isn't the latest version. This will help me to try and pinpoint the issue. It could be that the latest version truly isn't installed or it could be that the portion of the script that checks what's installed against the latest available isn't working correctly. Still trying to replicate this issue on my pi.
