Re: Trouble with EFHW kit
#efhw
I would think that you did make an error in winding. Mine was better then 1.5:1 on 40,20,15,10 AND 12 meters. 12 was a pleasant surprise. It¡¯s a great kit and works perfectly with the SOTABEAMS Traveler mast in an inverted V.?

Using WebRTC on pi 4 with windows voip (IC7300)
I am trying to set up WebRTC or similar to communicate voice (I have FT8, WSJTX, and JSCALL working) over IP.? I have a pi set up running for my IC 7300 that I would like to remotely key VOICE using IP.? Has anyone here in this group got this going.? I'm trying not to have to have to purchase/use RSBA software. I can ssh, forward X11, and vnc the pi.? Anyone?

Re: Trouble with EFHW kit

I think I have found the error in my winding. I will attempt a correction - if I can remove the hot glue ;-). For my information, about how long is the wire that comes with the kit? Thanks again for a very nice kit.

Re: Custom forms in flmsg unreachable in browser.
Your best bet is the check with the developer of FLMSG /g/linuxham/topicsI haven't used FLMSG in a LONG time. --

Re: IC-705 RPI4 Bullseye JS8Call
#IC-705
It doesn't seem as though the Pi is "seeing" the sound card in the 705. What do you get if you run: arecord -l

Have you seen the digirig sound card? It relatively inexpensive and works surprisingly well with a Baofeng. https://digirig.net/ ? --

I have no experience with the 8800 but PTT may be the issue. Which sound card are you using? If it's the Signalink, then the Signalink will handle the PTT for you as it has a built in VOX circuit. For the 7300, you probably need to configure ARDOP PTT in the Pat conf file. Did you use Build a Pi for this build? If so, you can use Pat Menu to enable PTT for ARDOP. It is under Manage Pat Winlink->Set ARDOP PTT --

Re: BAP, Direwolf, Digirig and Baofeng PTT setup?
In the direwolf.conf file, you need to add this line to the PTT section (line ~184) PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS --

Re: PAT on a Pi with IC-705 error
#pat
You have a couple of issues going on here. Do you have FLRIG running? Build a Pi is designed to use FLRIG for rig control. Did you install ARDOP & the ARDOP GUI? --

I haven't started testing with the 64 bit OS yet but hope to get to it later this week. Currently Build a Pi only officially supports 32bit. --

Re: Trouble with EFHW kit
#efhw
Just build the KM4ACK EFHW today and threw it up in a tree, about 35 feet, sloping to ground. Put an SWR meter on it and found the lowest SWR I can get is 2.3 and that is at 6.8. I tried shortening the antenna by about two feet, wrapping the excess around the antenna. Almost no change in the SWR, still about 2.3 and that is at 6.9, Before I tear out the transformer and rewind it, could anyone suggest troubleshooting tips? Continuity checked out.
Thanks,
Phil, K3UT
Can you post a pic of your toroid please? If the dip is at 6.8/6.9, the wire is still too long. Extra length is shipped with each kit to allow for minor mistakes. --

VARA isn't available for Pi OS yet. There are some guys trying to get it working with Pat so hopefully we will see that support added in the future. --

Re: Yeasu ft2dr into a pi zero question?
You can use Pat Menu & Pat winlink for Winlink emails. For APRS, you will need to look at an application like APRX. Direwolf won't work with the Mobilinkd. Direwolf is a software TNC and the Mobilinkd is a hardware TNC. --

PAT on a Pi with IC-705 error
#pat
Running PT on a Pi 3B+ ... and an IC705 (with address set to 94h to match 7300).? Pi on wlan to home network with VNC to access Pi screen. Everything looks good up to trying to connect.? Always get this error message (with different dial frequencies depending upon selected station):
2:20 ic705 ready. Dial frequency is 3.595.00 MHz.
2022/02/13 20:42:20 Starting HTTP service (localhost:8080)...
2022/02/13 20:43:23 QSY failed: Unable to get rig frequency: read tcp 127.0.0.1:42802->127.0.0.1:4532: i/o timeout

Any ideas would be appreciated,

Re: Trouble with EFHW kit

My 80m EFHW is 134' with 49:1 unun and I get about 1:2 SWR. Mine followed a different plan and I use a nanovna to measure its SWR. I have good SWR on all ham bands except 160 and 6 meters.

I created a new 64bit Bullseye install last night and ran BAP (3.2.2), I installed WSJT-X, GridTracker and Hamclock. WSJT-x configured and running fine, when I try to run GridTracker from menu I get the error in the attached image. I checked and the /home/pi/GridTracker directory exists and the GridTracker file in the directory is marked as executable, also see second attached image. I am stumped on this one.

Will you be adding vara-fm to build-a-pi?
?Thanks?

I too purchased it for HF.? Maybe if enough of us cash paying customers let the developer know that we would like it for Linux he might listen??
