I thought I would ask this question here to see if anyone would be able to help me learn a bit of scripting for our beloved Pi..... Two items : 1) I have created a script (Get Mail from CALL) and would now like to have in Icon on the Desktop or create Menu location for it (Main > Mail Get Mail from CALL) 2) I need help getting script to run mheard udr1 command, display the call signs only in a tabbed format 5 wide by rows needed to show all results Prompt me for call sign from above display then execute wl2kax25 -c %CALL% -V where %CALL% is the entered value for the keyboard. I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide. 73s, Ed, KD9FRQ

Re: GPIO pin control, simple applet exists?
Interesting thought - it¡¯s a push-button switch. ?I¡¯ve got a spare board so I can certainly try it. ?I¡¯m a noob when it comes to that kind of stuff however.

The relay I use needs not just a gpio pin, but also 5v power to function. So the pi can cut its power, but it cannot turn it on (I'm going to use a separate esp module and relay to do that in my project).
That board seems to have everything exposed, can you not just bypass/jumper the switch so it is always closed? So right now the pi won't turn on if the 12V plug is energized (no
power --> power) like if you were using the 5V port on the actual Pi
board.? You have to use the button or a IR remote.? I was wondering if
your GPIO endeavors were able to find a solution to this.

In my testing of using ARDOP, I am still strugglign to find a station with which I can connect.
I have run through the list available in the Pat Menu Gateway look up for my Grid. I have testing 40m.
The PC based version via WinLink shows a list of stations and some signal strength/quality chart to show a list of stations try.
Is there a list like this available in Pat system to aid users?

Re: Problem with rsnapshot
I had formatted the USB drive on Windows.? I reformatted on my Pi (that was a challenge) and had to change permissions to allow all write (another challenge), then it seems to be working.

KM4ACK,
I am using the Pat Menu to find stations. I do have FLRIG running. When I use Pat to try to send, I enter the Call in the require box and the
Dial Freq noted from the Pat Menu Gateway Look up in it's box.
Pat or FLRIG is changing the freq on the rig appropriately to the Dial freq.
I will keep trying 40m.? I do not have an 80m antenna up (yet....).

Ed, You can use Pat Menu 2 to locate ARDOP stations (Find Winlink Gateways) on each band/grid combo. There is also a column in the search results that indicates the distance from you. Personally, I have better luck on 40 & 80M. Time of day dictates which of the two I use. Also, if you are using rig control, you might want to take a look at pat auto connect built into Pat Menu. --

Re: Problem with rsnapshot
More than likely you have a permissions problem with the usb drive or the format of the drive is giving errors. Try formatting the external drive in ext4 format and it should resolve the errors. --

I just tried to do this based on the video, but ran into a problem. I set it up, and ran it the first time to a USB stick. Fine. I ran it again to test, fine. I added a file and ran it again. I got pages of errors.

I do not understand your reply.
Are you saying that ARDOP does not work
when the configured for an RMS Gateway?
Or are you talking about the new Buster
OS that is enumerating the Sound Card differently?
