Locked Sticky Welcome!!
Welcome! This group is primarily for discussing my scripts and how to configure them for different setups. However, all Raspberry Pi conversation is encouraged. Please be respectful at ALL TIMES. Let's try to help one another out without demeaning anyone. I will jump in and answer as many questions as I can but may not be able to respond to everyone. It is near impossible for me to help setup a radio that I don't own and have no experience with. By building community, others with similar setups may be able to offer a helping hand. This is the purpose of community.

Sticky Fix for Conky background on Pi (Wayland)
From this post - /g/KM4ACK-Pi/message/13625 credit - Robert Nazro These changes should be made in the .conkyrc file found in your home directory. Note the "." in front of the file name. This indicates that it is a hidden file. OK changing the gap-y =10 to: gap_y = 50, moved the conky box down below the task bar. That change along with: own_window = true, own_window_type = 'normal', own_window_transparent = false, own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager,below', own_window_colour = '#000000', own_window_argb_visual = true, own_window_argb_value = 0, Note: I edited the last value to 0 instead of his recommended 15. -- 73, de KM4ACK YouTube | Tip Jar Twitter | Store Patreon

Winlink Express on 73Linux 2
I successfully updated VARA HF and VARA FM on my Raspi 4b/73 Linux using Jason's YT video guide. I was also able to successfully install Winlink Express and VARAC. Both applications start. I still must try them out on my rig once I get the Pi to my shack. This inspired me. I took an old Lenovo laptop that was running Windows 10 and outfitted it with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. For some unknown reason version 24.0x LTS would not install. Oh well. I then installed 73Linux. I had to re-install Ubuntiu because I use a foreign language (German), and 73Linux cannot yet handle that. So I re-installed with the (US) English version. I then had to disable Wayland and enable the X11 graphic display. Then, everything worked fine. VARA and VARA HF installed without a hitch. I then tried to install Winlink Express using the the procedure I used on the Pi. The program actually installed. It will however not start. The mouse symbol rotates for a couple of minutes like it doe for any program that is starting, but then there is nothing. My guess is that some program file(s) (dll?) may be missing in Winlink Express or Wine. Does anyone have an idea what this may be? David

My rig won't work with FLrig 9
Jason, how do you work linBPQ for a Winlink gateway when the IC-2100 doesn't work with FLrig. I bring up PAT, winlink packet modem, and it prompts me to setup FLrig. You showed a radio FT-2890 using a signal link in the beginning of your video. That works off of VOX. Thanks, KM6QAQ 73 Sent from AOL on Android

FT-100 and FT-100D Digital Configuration #digirig #flrig #js8call #pat #vara
Anyone that has an ancient FT-100(D), like me, and DigiRig, running Flrig/Pat/VARA HF, I have listed the settings in the rig so VARA HF will work. FT8 and JS8Call don't seem to be as picky, but they work after applying the settings below. Follow KM4ACK's YouTube tutorial to setup the software. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47SkH0iCEOQ&t=976s Menu 28 AFSK LEVEL: 20 (50 default) Play with to get to max output with as small a Menu 28 number as possible. Adjust power slider in JS8 or FTX to get 3 ALC bars. 34 AFSK MODE: PCK-U (PCK-F Default) 38 PACKET DISPLAY: 0 (2125 Default) 39 PACKET TONE: 1170 (2125 Default) (Must set before 38) 56 SQL/RF GAIN: rF (59L Default) 61 TUNER/ATAS: oFF Front Panel MTR: ALC DNR, DNF, DBP: All off SPL AGC: FST 2.4 Aaron KD6FLM

No Tx when using VARA 12
I am running an FT-100D, Pi4 4 GB RAM, and a Drigirig; this setup has been working with JS8Call for many months. I am having issues getting my setup to transmit with FLRIG, PAT, and VARA HF; eventually, the "connection" times out. I have followed KM4ACK's YouTube tutorial several times and still no go. I did a clean install, twice, of the 64-bit Pi OS as the Pi originally had 32-bit Pi OS. I installed all the previous apps and got them configured, minus CONKY; CONKY will not go into transparent mode, another problem. My last step was to install apps for VARA. FLRIG test button does get the radio to transmit. If there is a post that covers my problem, please point me to it; several searches did not turn up anything. Thanks for the help. Aaron KD6FLM

Starting from scratch again - part 4 9
Hi Folks, I have tried to install '73 Linux' on a new 8GB Pi5. Conky is blank and I cannot access the Pi (or any other device) via VNC Viewer. Even though I have the official power supply (27w) I am getting a message that is inadequate. The SD card is new and a good one. I have tried to be very careful and have installed '73 Linux' on a number of machines in the past. No problems. This was to be the summer computer for antenna experiments. I have used a 3B+ until recently and it has worked grand although as of a few minutes ago I could not connect to my LAN. I am also no longer able to power down normally as in the past, I have to just unplug the psu. Am I missing something really obvious here? TIA, Tryg --

Cant get 73 Linux to run
I bought one of the WOWE mini computers like Jason has the video. I did everything git hub to KM4ACK, copied the install commands and even went back and installed git. It all finished and just set there nothing came up for me to enter my call sign. I came out of terminal mode and just have a Linux Mint screen no evidence of 73Linux ever touching it. What now? -- Mikeal Hughes, N9GI GROL, Comptia A+, Comptia Network+, CEH, Security +, MOS Mikeal Hughes & Associates macmikeal@... Cell: 815-546-1867

73Linux - can't get packet to work 3 #rpi #winlink #73linux #digirig #direwolf
Good evening, I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running the latest Rasberry Pi OS. I am using a Digirig with an AnyTone AT778UV (No CAT control). With my Windows 10 laptop, I am able to get Winlink Express to work and send/receive Winlink emails. I have installed 73Linux and I am not able to get it to work. The error message I get is "Unable to establish connection to remote: No AX.25 ports configured" Thanks 73

Problems with fresh install of 73 Linux and WSJT-X through digirig no TX power likely sound settings related 2
No transmit power with WSJT-X on RPI 3 running bullseye using FT857D and Digirig , I believe it's low/no input into the RPI but can't seem to fix it :( I've been using my laptop with WSJT-X with no issues, I wanted to setup the RPI so I could run FT8 without having to be in front of the rig. The RPI3 has a fresh install of 73Linux over the stock OS. FLRig finds the radio and cat control and PTT tests both check out ok. I have adjusted the RF gain and have no problems with RX audio I am able to RX and decode but when I go to call CQ or make a QSO the radio goes into TX and I see no output power on the tuner. This leads me to believe that there is a problem with the audio exiting the RPI headed to the digirig. I had TX power once briefly when tuning. I have opened alsamixer and turned off any muting I can find and turned the gain down to zero to boost the levels. Something is missing though...

12 volt to 5 volt converter 10
Anyone have favorable experiences with any of the 12 to 5 volt @5 amp converters that are out there. There are a bunch of them on Amazon but the reviews are all over the place and indicate issues depending on the end use. I'm building a Pi5 for of grid use. Thanks, Greg NZ6E

Update to the YAAC & Dierwolf 6
I'm trying to figure out why YAAC can not pick up Localhost:8000. The Port been selected in the AWG setting in YAAC. In the Dierwolf Config AWG port is 8000, kissport:8001.

64 bit software
Is there a list or repository showing the 64 bit software for the Raspberry pi 5 and bookworm. Doesn't make sense running 32 bit when you have the additional horsepower of the Pi 5 and 64 bit Bookworm. TIA Greg NZ6E

QUESTION regarding Dierwolf and YAAC
I'm in the process of setting up Dierwolf and YAAC. Dierwolf if I attempt to start in terminal errors out. I know Jason KM4ACK has done script in downloading etc. I have added my call, PTT cm108. When I go to setup for AWG. I think I answer my question. I should have check off Pat Menu I think?? I'm doing this remotely using Anydesk. My screen is small on my laptop and my main monitor is in another room. Back to figuring it out. 73 Don Poaps New Westminster, BC VA7DGP DATA VA7QU VOICE Winlink: va7dgp@...

73Linux and HSTools 4
Hi, I am new to this topic but I was not able to find HSTools in the latest BuiltaPI aka 73Linux. I decided to refresh the install on my PI4 and I quicky discovered that that there is a new distribution called 73Linux. This is fine but, the key component HSTools seems to be missing. I have run the installation command just for the HSTools and then I manually added the HSTools to the menu. However, when there is no WiFi signal available the AP on the PI does not start automatically like it used to. Which turns the entire installation useless outside of the house. I wonder if I did something wrong or perhaps this is a "feature" or a bug. Thank you for your help! Tom

TS-2000 PTT Setup Issues 6
Folks, Laptop with Linux Mint and 73 Linux installed. Pre-mobile Digirig interface kit. I’ve set up my Kenwood TS-2000 many times before on Windows computers and with Build-a-pi. I have it working fine for CAT control - changes frequency, rig control, but PTT is giving me fits no matter what setting I try. It typically likes +12v RTS but now that turns on transmit all the time. RTS/CTS isn’t friendly to it either - locks up FLrig. I’ve been shutting off the rig to try and reset that. Most of the time I’m having to reboot as I don’t know something similar to task manager is a thing in LM. Curious if anyone in the community is still running a TS-2000 and has found a solution. Thanks, KM6QAQ 73
