I’ve never had any luck with any Chinese radios using VOX and anything packet, although the UV-5R and md380 are the only ones I’ve tried. I ended up using my tnc-x TNC and creating my own cable. This worked great when I tried using Xastir but I haven’t been able to do anything packet related for some time now. If a hardware TNC is feasible, here’s the instructions to build a proper cable:

Have you seen the digirig sound card? It relatively inexpensive and works surprisingly well with a Baofeng.

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

--

In the direwolf.conf file, you need to add this line to the PTT section (line ~184)
PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS

--

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.

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,

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.

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.

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,

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??

Had this WiFi problem too. Found on internet this blog.?
Looks like a bug in the Argon design. I contacted Argon and they confirmed a WiFi problem and will send me?
replacement parts. Still in backorder...

If you are using bullseye, in preferences, under headless, there is screen size. The default is none. Choose your screen size on the pi that you want to vnc into.

This ia a change fron buster. I stumbled upon it as I was trying to vnc into my pi's.?

Hello Dave

the user name should be just "pi" with a password of "raspberry"? unless to changed it when you VNC into where it asks for username and password there should be a box just below password the says remember

password comes in handy

Hey Mike! Nice to catch you around again!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll suggest changing the SSID.

Hi Jason,
So, I am using a Yeasu FT-8800 for 2m and IC-7300 for HF.
I can receive packet info on the APRS frequency on my 2m with pat http and direwolf running.

For 2m, I open Direwolf and terminal window with pat http, then I go to browser and open localhost:8080
I don't know if I have a port number misrepresented somewhere.? I try to send using ax25 but it will not connect.
I will double check that I have AX25 installed.

For HF, I open ARDOPC and ARDOP GUI, I open terminal window and pat http.
Open browser and localhost:8080
I try to send using ARDOP, but it does not engage the radio.? I think I may have port number or something not correct for the Pi to talk to the radio.
FLDigi works just fine on the HF side.

I know it is going to be something simple that I am overlooking.

Thanks in advance.
