So.. just to followup..? ?No, Pat would not connect using "USB" on the 891.? It has to be "PKTUSB" to work correctly.

Thanks Jason for everything you have done.? The latest version of Build-a-pi" works great!? Much better then the first version.

Kudos!

OK...? ?I upgraded Pat Menu using the Build-a-pi utility (I was running 2.2.0). I've not edited the PTT setting (thank you!).? One more question.? When I was looking at the PAT Menu settings, I noticed that there is a config file on my machine with you call sign as part of its name (891.km4ack.config).? When I examined the settings in that file, I noticed that in the "HF Mode for Radio" it has "PKTUSB" as the value".? The default config lists "USB" as its value.? On the 891, I have to set its mode to "Data-U" or "Data-L" in flrig (depending on 20M vs 40M) to have FT9 and JS8CALL work.? Should I leave the default as "USB" or do I also need "PKTUSB" as the value?

Thanks and sorry for the million questions...

Thinking about it, you might have better luck than first thought. If you use the Debian distribution and all of the package installs (any apt or apt-get commands) use “generic” package names that don’t contain “armhf” then you will be very close , if not fully successful.

I don’t use Debian to be able to test but would be interested in the results of any attempts!

Which version of Pat Menu. Latest is 2.2.1. Use the update icon from the main menu to update. Pi Menu>Preferences>Build-a-Pi

Let me know if that doesn't work

Thanks fro answering so quickly Jason.? Following your instructions, when I get to the "Manage PAT" window, there is no "Set ARDOP PTT" menu option.? There is:
Pat Login-Logout
GPS Grid Update
Set ARDOP Speed
Delete Alias
Backup Emails
Restore Emails
Backup Pat Config
Restore Pat Config

Neither "Set ARDOP Speed" or "Pat Login-Logout" have an option to "Set ARDOP PTT"

What you are asking about is a more advanced setup. Are you using two sound cards and two radios connected to the pi at the same time? One for HF and the other for 2M?

It was probably errors during the FLDIGI suite build. I can't explain them but the seem to have no effect on the pi.

Probably not going to work. The pi uses an ARM processor and your laptop probably uses an x86 processor. Sorry.

Assuming you are using the sabrent sound card or similar, open pat menu. Choose Manage Pat Winlink, and then choose Set ARDOP PTT. Change this value to TRUE. This will give you CAT PTT for the 891. If you are using a signalink or similar sound card with VOX, you shouldn't use this method.

I’m running the latest pi-Build version and everything is working perfectly except Pat using ARDOP. ?When I initiate a Pat Auto connect, everything starts up and the script try’s to connect to various stations, however as I watch flrig, I never see it keying the rig (FT-891). I’ve looked in the Direwolf And Pat configs and all seems correct.

Can anyone suggest what else I should be looking at?

Interested in your progress!

I have two Pi TNCs and need to get them going!
One is the last of the TNC Pi's from?coastalworks? before they closed. The other is a $50 kit from Utah that works standalone or on a Pi. It almost works.?

And then there is the sound modem approach without a TNC! ? I don't know which way to go

It would be nice to get them going with Jason's build.?
I have an idea it probably works without a TNC

Help, advice appreciated!

Now that would be a big learning experience! I call it the P&Ming. (plagurize & modify). ?That's my way of learning.
Going to be interesting to see the results.
W4GHV?

Strange. Using the PC disk image program I found I had to create a blank file ?(backup.img) on the PC BEFORE running the program!
It would not let me create one.
Once done, it did read the SD card and make an image OK.

I'm thinking the easiest backup would be a 32gb thumb drive left in the Pi and doing a zipped backup to it with a cron job.

I had difficulty using the normal SD copy utility. (wouldn't fit).

I'm not a command line guy, but think I need to use gzip and dd to do it. Time for Google.

Thanks again to Jason.

Wow, I got a ton of errors, some in color, some not during install.?
But it finished and at comes up OK.
I haven't started testing it.
Is this normal?
It's an amazing effort, hats off to Jason!
When I make a minor change to my Pi's, I land up locking it up and have to re-flash and start over.

Really enjoying learning Linux from Jason more than hamming it up with the software.?

I have a couple of PAT questions.

1) What are the steps needs to start BOTH ARDOP for HF and DireWolf for 2m packet so the station can receive email at any time on both sides of frequency spectrum?

2) What are the commands to note which ( mheard ) statations are digipeaters and then introgate what stations the digipeaters hears?

3) Using results from #2 above, what are the commands / setting to send to a station I cannot hear but a share Digipeater does?

Jason,

Another observation...and I think this was the ultimate cause. My rc6 kept toggling between auto hotspot connect and wifi. THat's why I kept loosing connection. Not sure why since my BAP2 didn't have this problem with the auto hotspot enabled. I disabled on BAP v3 and have no further issues.

I uncommented the PTT line for use with the Sabrent sound card. Hopefully that SD card will arrive today :-)
