I just put 73Linux on a Pi and was hoping to see the cool 73Linux wallpaper - like BAP project did.
I saw the 73Linux wallpaper on KM4ACK YouTube vid and I 'have to have it'? Hi HI
Anyone know how to get to the wallpaper?? TIA es 73 de KI7IF rick?

I checked all settings, TX was enabled, radio is connected to computer, packets are being decoded. But still no transmit.

So, I installed XASTIR and connected D74 to it via bluetooth using same rfcomm0 port. It does transmit. I sent messages to WXBOT and to ANSVRV for aprs thursday and got back responses.

Quit Xastir, started YAAC again. Connected for rfcomm0 right away, bluetooth icon is blue. Now, it does transmit, both beacon and sending messages. No idea what the what may have changed. The real test will be if I can get to work tomorrow.

What's the YouTube link for the video?

Messages should be transmitting if you enabled TX in the serial-tnc port. Double check that the port is NOT red. If it is, that indicates you have a config issue. Is the Bluetooth icon on the radio lit up blue?

For beacons, configure it under the beacons tab in the expert setup dialog.

Just watch Jason's video on connecting up the D74/75 to YAAC. ? I have the D74 and the instructions worked and I am receiving and mapping packets. ?I initially had problems getting GPS data to show up. ?On the D74 in the GPS setup, item 405, PC output needs to set to "on". ?After that, I started to see GPS data when I ran cgps. ?Interestingly, when I ran cgps, the left side has my lat. and long data, altitude, and grid square, but no satellite data is displayed, even after the radio been on for an hour. ?Not sure if the D74 just doesn't have a complete lock - the gps icon continually flashing. ?But, seems to not be causing any problems (Conky picks us the grid square data from it).

One question I had is enabling transmit. ?I configured the rfcomm port to allow enable transmit. ?Is there another setting somewhere that I am forgetting. ?Right now if I click on the Beacon icon or send a message ( such as to WXBOT), the view raw packets indicate the program does send the packet but the radio does not transmit.

Hi All,
? I originally installed 64bit Bookworm, but with I had problems so I went to the 32bit Bookworm. ? For the most part, 73Linux installed except for VARA and some PAT configurations. ?To install VARA, I followed previous suggestions using Pi-Apps for Box86 and Wine. ? After which VARA would install and run but there was no rig control (using PAT Auto Connect PAC). ?I normally use FLRig and rig control did work for programs like js8call or fldigi. ?But in?running pat auto connect I noticed the error message "rigctld: symbol lookup error: rigctld: undefined symbol: network_multicast_server"
? While rigctl would run I found that rigctld would not.

It appears that the default 32bit Bookworm install includes a version of hamlib which conflicts with the 73Linux install of hamlib.
?If you have this problem then try my fix below: ?
? ? [1] "sudo rm /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libham*" ?or move to a tmp location.
? ? [2] Run 73Linux and re-install hamlib. ?The new compiled rigctld will now work.

And now VARA and PAT Auto Connect is all working well. ?I hope this helps someone.

Thank you Kelly. I will try this.

Thank you Steve - i found TimeFudge - referenced on W9MDB's QRZ.com page. I think that may be what you are referencing. I will take a look.

I remember seeing a clever bit of software that watches the WSJTX receptions from the last x stations, interpolates your time offset from their average, and sets your computer time to that result. Supposed to get you close enough to operate WSJTX without need for Internet time or GPS time. I never used it myself but search for it, might ge good to have as a backup service on your computer anyway.

sudo apt install ntp will get things going?

Aha - I am running timesyncd (I think) and don't have ntp on this RPi. I will need to find a few more wits before going after changing from timesyncd to ntp. But this suggestion - and sorting out the subtleties of ntp so I can switch back and forth between using this RPi in my base (a travel trailer) and using it as a portable rig for POTA on the go.

Thanks again for your timely suggestions.

BU-353 GPS puck receiver

Thank you Michael - I will look at BU-353 GPS puck receivers - they may be a better solution inside my Airstream trailer (or may be useful enough that I should run the puck outside). The use case I have at the moment is when I leave the confines of my Airstream - take my radio portable and operate for a few hours (POTA) off the grid. In that case I only need to grab the GPS location and time at the beginning of the session. Sending the data from my iPhone seemed like a great quick solution. GPS2IP seems to (almost) do the job - successfully sending the lat/long. But the more important function I was hoping for was setting the time (which the iPhone always knows) on the RPi.

I hate to add another device to my deployment (like a puck) but that may be the right solution.

Setting time by hand works (but is tedious to get it close enough).?

one option is setting ntp to use gpsd, details on needed changes here?

-k

Kelly - thank you.

I had set up GPS2IP (iOS application) with what I believe was the default port of 11123. I did not have the OPTIONS entry - and added that. In GPS2IP i have selected NMEA Message types RMC, GGA and GLL.

The lat and long are displayed correctly when I run cgps. And the location is displayed in CONKY. The correct time is displayed in cgps - but the time displayed in CONKY or using the date command is incorrect.?

Note that the above is when I am operating with the RPi as a hot spot - and have no internet connection (with internet connection the RPi syncs time off of the internet).?

I found these commands I can issue - but this results in a time setting off by 2 seconds or so. I need more accuracy to dependable run wsjtx.

GPSDATE=`gpspipe -w | head -10 | grep TPV | sed -r 's/.*"time":"([^"]*)".*/\1/' | head -1`
sudo date -s "$GPSDATE"

It seems like there should be a way to have the time set from the gps data.

Okay Kelly you gave me something to search for, I have a little reading to do and I'll hopefully figure it out.
Thank you.

Ran "groups" and I see me listed.

add yourself to the dialup group??

I figured this might be a good place to ask this.

On my Linux Mint laptop, every time I want to enable CAT control for JS8, WSJT, FLDIGI, etc, I have to open terminal and enter " sudo chmod a+rw /dev/tty..." replacing the "..." with whatever serial device ID like USB0 or ACM0. I can't remember how I learned this trick, and honestly don't have a clue what it means. Is there some way to make this permanent?
I hope my question makes sense.

I don't know if this helps but VARA works well on my 64bit windows system working with winlink.
