I¡¯ll preface this with ¡°no¡± is a complete response. :) If the answer to any of the following is ¡°no,¡± that¡¯s fine. I give that answer out a lot.
Also, I¡¯m not sure if this is the correct forum for making and tracking requests like this. If it is not, please advise and I will request in the appropriate location.
?
In addition to being an amateur radio operator, I am also a SHARES member. On my Mac using AppleScripts, I have written two scripts - one for "Pat_Amateur" and one for "Pat_SHARES." It involves having three .json files - one for my amateur call (w4jbb.json), one for my SHARES call (nnb4jb.json) and the normal config.json file.
?
When I invoke "Pat_Amateur," I copy the w4jbb.json file to config.json and when I invoke "Pat_SHARES," I copy nnb4jb.json to config.json. While it took me a while to figure out *how* do to this because I'm not a coder, it now seems trivial.
Other parts of my scripts start Terminal and rigctld and the pat web server. I then start VARA HF (using CrossOver) of which I have two instances - again, one for my amateur call and one for my SHARES call (I probably should have just had one instance but we don't use CW ID in SHARES on Winlink and I couldn't figure out how to turn that off using one instance of VARA-HF in CrossOver).
Item Request #1:
Would it be possible to do something similar using Pat Menu in 73Linux?
Using Pat, I *really* miss the address book and I have *no* idea how to set about doing this in AppleScripts... I don't even know where to start.
Item Request #2:
Would it be possible to add an address book using scripting in Linux for Pat Menu? I did ask on the Pat group if an address book had been... ahem... addressed but I have yet to receive a response.
Item Request #2.5:
In lieu of #2, could you add a script to Pat Menu that invoked ICS 213 with specific addresses already filled in and then I fill in the pertinent information for a Net Report? (That may be a big ask. I know in RMS Express, the ICS 213 form, once filled in, remembers previous entries in those fields. It may be the same way in Pat. Yesterday was the first time I'd filled out ICS 213 using Pat).
Item Request #3:
In addition to getting a weather report via GPS, could you add a button that just used GPS coordinates if known? That may be there but I've somehow missed it.
