Gotcha. That script is almost six years old now. Lot's of changes since then to Pi OS and probably why it isn't working. Here's a much more recent guide https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-rtc/

It was from your old video on activating the RTC a few years ago . It was at your github page ¡/pi-scripts down to rtc.

Re: New install BT Mobilinkd TNC3
Thanks Dominic ! I¡¯ll try that. In reading more, looks like I need to add an ¡°overlay¡± for the device.

Using `rfcomm connect...` is practically the same, but you may need to
leave the terminal window open and quit with `CTRL+C` when you're done
with the connection.

First off, I reviewed Jason¡¯s YT video on the TNC3 and the updated PAT
Menu - about 2 years old - and the older (pre-PAT Menu) video using a
TNC2 - about 5 years old.
Going to PAT Menu -> start/stop modem -> Start Mobilinkd Modem BT. Get
connection successful. Clicking Start Mobilinkd Modem BT again (as
required) does NOT give a connect and HTTP. It restarts the first
dialog - endless loop..
I tried to do the older method with copying the MAC address with
hcitool scan and then running rfcomm connect an I got a permission
denied for connect.
I tried going wired to the TNC3 and it worked flawlessly.
Any help appreciated. Going to stop here for the day - not tackling
VARA until later !

Re: New install issues Rpi 4

Hello:
New install of RPi OS - now trying to run Jason¡¯s RTC script. I2c is active but when running the script, it always states ¡°Please enable I2C interface ¡¡±
I¡¯ve armed I2C in RPi config and even run dtparam i2c_arm=on - all looks good. What¡¯s missing ?

Re: New install issues Rpi 4
I also installed Bookworm on a Pi 4 recently (a fresh install, not just updating), then installed 73Linux. Mine was for 64-bit Arm though, not 32-bit. Things generally went very well, but I did have 2 problems. One was Vara, which I asked about in this forum, got some suggestions, and now I have the modem (VaraHF) working but not VarAC. The other was conky¡¯s solid black background. I also spent alot of time trying to make the background transparent, without success. So I just adopted a nice James Webb telescope wallpaper with black space image and the conky background blends right in. I live with that.?
During my investigation I found there is alot of complexity in Linux GUI processing, with dozens of window management choices, things called ¡°compositors¡±, and other software layers. This means the potential combinations are very high, making a search for answers complicated¡ª does someone giving advice really have the same combination as you do??
Someday when I get more timeI may dive in and learn much more about Linux GUI processing than I want to.?
Not a very helpful post for you, other than to make you aware the solution is much more complicated than simply adding various lines into conky¡¯s config file.?

Re: Portable Digipeater GPS Issue
I have my Pi as a stratum server for NTP time and FT8 and using USB make sure your config is correct.?IE: "sudo nano /etc/default/gpsd " ?For my my GPS is /dev/ttyAMC0
You have to define your device in GPSD first.? This is what my file GPDS looks like.?
# Devices gpsd should collect to at boot time.
# They need to be read/writeable, either by user gpsd or the group dialout.
START_DAEMON="true"
USBAUTO="no"
DEVICES="/dev/ttyACM0 -s 115200 /dev/pps0"
GPSD_OPTIONS="-n"
GPSD_SOCKET="/var/run/gpsd.sock"
Start Daemon? command makes sure that GPSD starts when the Pi is rebooted.??
USB Auto is where the Pi recognizes the USB device automatically.? In my case I have it turned off
I specify that the my GPS is on AMC0 in my case and -s is where I tell the pi what comport speed the device is, IE: 115200.??
GPSD -n = no wait for the client to poll GPS (starts spitting out GPS data immediately) GPSD Socket = the socket GPSD for the system.?
Hope this helps 73's?
Rob? K9SAT
Which GPS are you using? What does your /etc/default/gpsd file contain? With the GPS connected, what does it return when you run:
?
ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
