Jason, I have never written before although I have tried your scripts since the first. I always thought that since I have a IC 7100 that that is way PAT didn't connect and why packet didn't work at all. I have come it understand that some of it was me in not understanding the relationship my pi has with my radio. I have always been able to get fldigi to work but your script never set my sound card up correctly. any ideas.?

Hi Wally
Describe what is happening a bit more and we may be able to help.? I also have a 7100 (as do several on the list) and I do have winlink working on HF.? I have to tried to use the 2M packet portion.? I did have a bad experience with Pulse audio and therefore I do not use it now.? So tell explain a bit more about your issues and I will see if I know the answer.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I've been busy. I will do a fresh install tomorrow with bap on bullseye and give a full response.? Did you say you didn't change the sound card? Wally

I have installed a new bullseye and put bap on it with hamlib, ardop ardopgui, direwolf, ax25, pat, patmenu, conky, gridtracker, hamclock, packetsearch, gparted, telnet, and vnc the first time. When I ran ardop modem and tried to connect it didn't.? Mw radio was on to a correct freq of an ardop station relay station. I was trying to Connect via ardop. Station was highlighted in red with a line through it. I checked that my sound was pointed to usb codec. I ran aplay -l which shows card 3 subdevice 0. Direwolf.conf shows adevice:3,0. I am now install flrig on the second run of bap with gridtracker correction enabled. Connected flrig to radio via cat control. Tried ardop, required flrig. Access station now green. In setup told conkey to use flrig to dial, not using radio at all. Everything looks right but nothing works. Even tried packet. Nothing keys radio. Wally?

Open Pat menu and click on Manage Pat Winlink->Set ARDOP PTT. Set this to true. Also in Pat Menu setting, verify that you have rig control set to "yes" ? --

Ok. That worked for ardop. At least the radio keyed. I was unable to make a connection at the time to my station of choice. Packet still doesn't work on 2 meters. The radio will not key.

I just figured something out with packet not working on 2 meters.
By way of background, I have two mostly identical setups. One is my "go frame" and the second is a permanent install in my Jeep.
What is common in both installs:
Yaesu FT-857D
LDG autotuner - uses CAT control @ 4800 baud
BAP with Buster build & older version of KM4ACK scripts.
GPS unit
What is different:
The go frame uses a signalink.
The Jeep install uses a cheap USB audio device.
=================
The go frame with the Signalink works fine on Ardop / Winlink, Packet / Winlink, xastir, WSJT-X you name it.
The jeep install worked on WSJT-X Ardop / Winlink
But not on Packet / WinLink or Xastir
=======
What I ended up doing to get things going in the Jeep:
Edit /home/pi/direwolf.conf and add the following:
NOTE: These are MY settings.
ALSO NOTE: my LDG autotuner reuqires a baud rate of 4800
so that is what I have to adjust all CAT control to
PTT RIG 122 /dev/ttyUSB0 4800
------
The above line tells direwolf to use hamlib. I am using an older version of hamlib to which the FT-857 rig number is 122. The new hamlib has the FT-857 as rig number 1022
/dev/ttyUSB0 is where my FT-857 CAT port yours might be different.
The last number, 4800 is the baud rate I have to set due to my LDG tuner.
I still have to use Flrig before starting the PAT menu, but now everything works.
Hope this helps!!

OK I just discovered something that might help. First by way of background. I have two nearly identical BAP setups. Here is what I have:
What is common to both setups
FT-857D
LDG autotuner - Uses CAT control @ 4800 baud - more on this
Rpi v3B running Buster - not quite ready to upgrade - I like to let others figure out upgrade problems :)
KM4ACK install, but not the latest
--------
What is different:
Setup #1 - Go-frame: Signalink for sound card
Setup #2 - Jeep install: cheap USB sound card
============
Here was my situation. With setup #1 (go-frame) everything works. WSJT-X Winlink with Ardop and Packet, and Xastir.
With setup #2 (Jeep) the only things that would work were WSJT-X, Winlink with Ardop.
Things that didn't work in the Jeep: Xastir, and Winlink / Packet
This is what I did to fix the issue in my Jeep:
Edit the /home/pi/direwolf.conf file
Add the following line in the PTT area
PTT RIG 1022 /dev/ttyUSB0 4800
This line tells Direwolf to use hamlib for PTT.
Rig number 1022 is for an FT-857 <--- NOTE the rig number is for the new version of hamlib
/dev/ttyUSB0 is the CAT port to the rig
4800 is the baud rate to the rig
In my case, since my LDG tuner only works at 4800 baud, I am stuck with that.
Even though Direwolf is told to use hamlib, I still have to run Flrig, but it all seems to work for me now.
Hope this helps!

Take a look at my post on getting VHF Winlink working on the IC-7100:? /g/KM4ACK-Pi/message/5780?Maybe something there will help. Julian

This line tells Direwolf to use hamlib for PTT.

/dev/ttyUSB0 is the CAT port to the rig
4800 is the baud rate to the rig
If you used a later version of BAP to install, another option is to look for these lines in the direwolf.conf file: #Uncomment line below for PTT with sabrent sound card #PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532 and uncomment the second line: #Uncomment line below for PTT with sabrent sound card PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532 It works the same as what you did above but isn't radio specific. Rig 2 sends the commands to hamlib which when used in conjunction with Pat Menu to start the modems forwards those command to FLRIG. A bit convoluted but makes it easy to swap radios. All you need to do is setup FLRIG for the new radio. There is a way to configure FLRIG to use two different radios on the same Pi. https://youtu.be/TgnhbT49DFM --

I have been trying to get my IC 7100 to make a PAT connection on HF and a packet on VHF. I haven't tried UHF and I don't see why I shouldn't be able to make winlink connections any further. I have succeeded with your help? Thanks very much.

I have successfully got my 7100 to work with PAT and winlink. Thanks! Now I have been trying to connect my FT 2900? to PAT via a USB signalink. It broadcasts but I get a "CONNECTION REFUSED" error. I am not using rigctrl and my winlink password is correct. Also when I installed PAT and ax25 and Direwolf, I didn't install arpdop but PAT config has it configured. How can I get ardop removed from the config, how can I get the connection refused error cleared and how can I remove BAP and start again with the correct config without having to wipe my microSD card every time and start fresh? I have an ssd card that I am waiting to put into play on this pi.
Thanks in advance, Wally K7TUK

It doesn't make any difference that ARDOP is configure in the Pat config file. This is only used if you start the ARDOP modem with Pat Menu. If you are starting the Packet Modem, the ARDOP information is ignored. Is the "connection refused" coming from the remote gateway or are you referring to rig control? --

Yep, PEBCAK reared its ugly head again and let me know it is alive and well! I checked arecord -l, the result was (3 0), opened direwolf and verified it was pointing to (3,0), all "#" were still in place for vox, opened PAT and restarted packet modem. It came up service denied, no rigctrl, service restarted and listening on ax25. Selected connection and clicked start. No connection made - timed out. Turned on 7100 to same frequency? and clicked start on 2900. All good. Started PAT on 7100 and clicked connect, turned off signalink so they wouldn't connect. 7100 connected to gateway. Turned off 7100, turned up power on 2900 to about 35 watts, clicked connect. Connected to gateway. Sent test email to myself, worked. Prime example of PEBCAK. PROBLEM EXISTS BETWEEN CHAIR AND KEYBOARD. if possible I would like away to remove uneeded apps from BAP other than sudo apt remove ????

At the moment there is no uninstall for apps installed with Build a Pi ? Glad you got the other issue resolved :-) --
