Well, I'm sending out APRS text messages just fine as well... Screenshots attached.

How do u have direwolf setup for the ptt line /devttyusb0??

Scott,

Sorry about that. ?I have it set up as:
PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532

Very respectfully,

Grant

Ok the 4532 port u have is that something you created or what is that ???? I'm new to this Linux stuff my dad would say I know enough to get myself into trouble that's me

KM4ACK actually had me put it there. ?I think it works too because I can transmit APRS texts via dire wolf and Pi APRS

That statement (PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532) points to hamlib. If you run rigctl -l | head you will see that we are pointing to rig 2.

Happy to report that it's an antenna height issue! ?I went to the site of the gateway, transmitted at 5W, and it worked flawlessly. ?Backed it up 5 miles, then 10, and kept increasing power. ?Finally lost connection a few miles from my home (total distance is 17 miles). ?So, I either will get a VHF radio amplifier (pricey for 160W!); or ask HOA if I can somehow put an antenna on the roof. ?:)

Jason, THANK YOU for all of your help these past several months!

OUTSTANDING!! Glad you confirmed it is working. I got the test message :-)

If you have the ability, you might try HF/ARDOP to overcome the line of sight limits of 2M.

Grant,

Can u? send me the pin out for ur 857 the 5pin to audio connection I may end up making me one

Scott,

Attaching the pinouts for data, and also cat if you need it. ?My audio cables go to the data. ?I'd recommend using Les at - he's made a number of high-quality cables for me.

Here's the ?if you want to make your own.

?should also work.

Give me a shout if I can help further.

All the best,

Grant

Where do the rig control tied at on the pi

I do have a rig control cable, yes, that runs from the pi to the 857 (through my YT-100 tuner). ?This is the cable I use:?https://www.amazon.com/Valley-Enterprises-FT-100-FT-817-FT-857/dp/B0035DV1ZM

Ok thanks
I'll keep you posted on what I do about the cable looks easy to make...

Hey got a question which cable for the 6pin mini din did u order from ham made parts the data port I'm am not seeing what I am looking for any help would be appreciated

If you can't readily find the cable on HamMadeParts, recommend you email Les and ask him to build you a custom cable. ?He'll respond within a day and based on what radio you're using, and for what purpose, he'll identify exactly what you need.

Grant, what did you do to solve the PTT error?
