Don't worry Glenn, it's perfectly normal for the U-blox-7 GPS to stop working EVERY time you reboot the Pi.

In all your videos you get the device name of the KISS TNC for entry in the Xastir Interface Control dialog box.

Marty,?
It is a 4 gigabyte model, but that would be good to check for other?models!
Results: I ran the BAP script again and, seemingly, all the applications installed.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in to help!

with only 2GB of memory you will have
to increase the swap space to get Fldigi to complete its build.
Maybe some of the others also.
I know on my HP running the e86 Raspian OS I had to increase the
swap to 2048.

Hey all,
If you are needing extra voltage from your power mini, I sort of have a work around. I only use one of my powerpole power out ports for my radio. So, to power my laptop or pi (or just charge my phone) I made a powerpole to cigarette lighter (12v) port connector. Then, I found a dual usb C car adapter that supports up to 36 watts out. Even hooking up my computer and phone, I can charge both while running 100 watts output on my radio.
If anyone has a better solution, I am definitely all ears!
Jim
The POWERmini2 User Guide that came with my unit is Copyright 2021.? The Specifications Sheet on Page 13 lists a USB output voltage of 5.2 volts with a USB charge maximum output current of 4.0 amps.? Footnote 5 on the current specifies that "Exceeding the maximum current for USB will result in the output being disabled.? Disconnecting the device from the USB port will re-enable the USB output."

Re: Might be a dumb question....

I did go through and try three different installs. On the last one I did the manual checking as you suggested it still had the same result.
Thanks for the report. I'll look into this. Have you tried manually placing check marks by each app? Did they install correctly for you?

Which version of BAP are you running? There was an issue back in February that was causing WSJTX to not install correctly. ? --

Might be a dumb question....
#rpi
So I am trying to install build a pi on a fresh install of Raspbian (on a RPi 3 B+). I run the script from GitHub and input my call, plug in the GPS, hotspot info, etc. I click "check all and continue" for all software packages. Problem is, when I finish with the install, most of the software did not install. When I have done older versions of BAP, they have installed all.?
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Yes, I should have copied that as well. The article in the link mentioned that. I played with a number of things in config.txt to get the display the way I wanted with VNC. ? -- Al AE2T

Re: U-Blox7 GPS doesn't appear to be working.

Hi Jason,
I have noticed that the GPS/GLONASS direct USB
mount dongle is clearly weaker than the G-MOUSE RoHS IPX6 magnetic
mount GPS and the GlobalSat BU-353-S4 USB magnetic mount GPS
dongles.? Watching <CGPS> over time on a Pi-4-B the GLONASS
has flaky difficulties when plugged directly to the USB port,
dropping in and out and in continually, where the other GPSes are
not flaky at all.? I tried the GLONASS on a two foot USB extension
cord inside the house on my Pi-4-B and it, though still a weaker
GPS receiver, did not flake out and came up quicker.? The GLONASS
is not at all flaky on any of my Pi-3-Bs and maintains and
maintains 7 to 9 satellites inside the house, whereas on the
Pi-4-B it receives 4 to 6 satellites.

Yes, blinking steadily like it did when it was working
in Conky.
ok. let's see if the pi is getting the data. In a terminal, run:
cgps
and verify you have GPS data. Provided you do, run this command
next:
~/bin/conky/get-grid
and see if it returns your grid square or produces errors. If it
give you errors, please post them.

I have a D710. I use the comm port in the head of the radio. I use RT system?usb 6 pin din. You will need to find the /dev/ttyUSB?? and put these in YAAC or Xastir.Set up the APRS program for Igate.

Jason, Thanks for your wonderful videos. With zero experience I have my Pi running through a VNC. My main purpose for this Pi is to create an I-Gate?for my Kenwood D710G as a APRS radio for the QTH. I was wondering if I still need to install Direwolf as this radio already has a TNC or can I connect it with YAAC or Xaster? If so, would YAAC be better?
Thanks?for your support
