Pat WinLink setup not keying my FT-dx10 via FLRig #flrig #pat-mail

 

Has anyone solved the pat Winlink PTT via flrig.?
I have flrig configured for my FT-dx10 (selected hamlib version 4.2? FT-dx101D Stable).
It works on WSJT-X, fldigi, js8call selecting FLRIG FLRIG.

I followed all the KM4ACK tutorials on Winlink on RPi.?
Pat-Mailbox works on telnet.? On ARDOP it doesn't key PTT.
On the piardop terminal, I get Input peaks.
The Pat-Mailbox connects OK in telnet - wl2k.
ARDOP connect gives the following:
ARDOP TNC (ARDOP TNC_1.0.4.1j-BPQ) initialized
Unable to set PTT rig '/usr/local/bin/rigctl -m4': not defined or not loaded

I must have an error in my pat configure.? I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Same story on my IC705 (working for FT8 & JS8Call via FLRIG). When ARDOP GUI shows PTT, the IC705 does not PTT. That said, works fine in FT8 (ptt). Both via FLRIG.
 

Did you turn PTT on in PAT Menu? Make sure PTT is set to ON.

If you think you have an error in the config file, use pat menu, setting / config, Create a new config file.??

This option will help you rebuild what you need.

This from the FAQ - I'll try it later.?

My pi won't key the radio with Pat/ARDOP

If you are not using a sound card with VOX (ie. signalink) then you may need to enable PTT in Pat Winlink. Open??and choose Manage Pat Winlink. Next choose Set ARDOP PTT. Set the PTT=true and try the connection again. It this doesn't work, try the??or?.

Russ,

Reading what you describe as your setup and looking through your file, I?think you have some errors.? Rather than attempt an off line fix, here is the file i used with my 7100, I never connect direct only use FLRig so my file is a bit simpler / shorter with just the one radio.? I did put your prefix information in the first few lines.

Thanks!!!? I changed my pat configure as you suggested and now PAT/Ardop/PTT works through FLRig on my FT-dx10.
?Made my first successful WinLink connection today to KL7RI on 40m.? Another hurdle cleared.

There's a finite number of problems in the universe, only n-1 left.

Hi,

I just ran this the same problem my new FTdx10 and a fresh install of BAP. ? From the last message, it was not clear what the fix was until I compared my config.json to Terry's configs values. ?The main fix was to change the "ptt_ctl" false to true after/in ?"my-rig". ?I also increased the "500" max bandwidth to "2000". ?

After seeing the needed changes, I now recall Jason noting something about changes two changes in the past. ?I also changed the pat http host and port so that I can connect to it from another computer on the same local net.

The values for bandwidth and PTT can be set in Pat Menu as well. Open Pat Menu -> Manage Pat Winlink
Set ARDOP PTT - True/False
Set ARDOP Speed - 200/500/1000/2000

The address was changed to 127.0.0.1 in a recent version of BAP as a security concern was addressed.
I typically always change mine to 0.0.0.0 but agree that this should only be done if the operator understands the lack of security.
