73 Linux questions
Greetings: Two questions regarding the updated 73 Linux build: 1. Does it support Bookworm64? 2. Does it have the ability to distribute the audio input to multiple applications simultaneously? For example, the ability to run fldigi, JS8Call or other apps at the same time? ( Sometimes this is called bi-mode or tri-mode operation) If it can support multiple audio streams, what apps on the menu do you install to accomplish this? 73, Mark WA0ZIG

Conky location issue

Built a 73linux load on a new pi5 and the Conky window overlaps the uper task bar. Is there an entry in the code that will move the box down? The ALTor CTL and mouse drag do nothing. Thanks. -- Bob Nazro, W1RPQphone: (860) 941-7993 bnazro@...

pi5 73LINUX Conky box too high

I built a 73linux load on a new pi5 and the Conky box overlaps the task bar at the top. Not sure where I can change the code to move the box down. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bob, W1RPQ

My old PI3 failed after many years of good service. So I purchased a new pi5 (4 GB version) and installed Bookworm 64 bit version, bit of a nightmare not much worked. Now I have switched to 32bit, also switched to X11 backend, had some GPS issues but have resolved them. However I just get a black box on the RH side of the screen where conky should be, I have looked at a few posts, but so far have been unable to get it working. Should I go back to an older version of the o/s (this doesn't fee like the right option) Is there a guide anywhere on how to fix conky? I am going to be mainly using WSJT-X and Pat are there any know issues with these? Thanks and Regards Paul (M0PJA)

HOWTO digipeat with Mobilinkd TNC3 and RPi Zero 2W?
20
I was inspired by the video "Portable Digipeater Build with a Pi Zero 2 W" to build my own portable digipeater, but I want to use a Mobilinkd TNC3 rather than the Digirig for the interface to the radio. The videos that I find on the web all use GUI clients (YACC, Xastir) to set up a digipeater with the Mobilinkd TNC3. Is there a non-GUI APRS client that can be used to build a digipeater with a Pi Zero 2 W and a Mobilinkd TNC3? Tnx, John WX0M

Hi, I have some trouble with direwolf, digiriglite on a Raspberry Zero2 When I try to transmit, the red led on the digirig lights on, but the HT does not transmit. Receiving works (sometimes) My direwolf.conf is straight forward: ADEVICE plughw:3,0 CHANNEL 0 MYCALL DF6PA-14 MODEM 1200 GPSD PTT CM108 AGWPORT 8000 KISSPORT 8001 TBEACON DELAY=0:30 EVERY=2:00 VIA=WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 SYMBOL=car comment="DF6PA test" First I thought it might by a sound level issue. So I used alsamixer: (see attached screenshot) What did I miss? Same DigirigLite, same cables, work great when using APRSDroid on Blackview. mobile-phone Every help is welcome 73, Stephan, DF6PA -- Stephan Forth DF6PA Mainz Germany

direwolf: Sound device changes at reboot or when soundcard is detached an reattached
5
Hi there sometimes when I reboot my pi, die address of the sound device changes from let's say: 1:0 to 2:0 or 1:1 So I always have to edit the direwolf.conf file to adjust the ADEVICE settings after a reboot or a soundcard removal. I know there was a video from Jason which dealed with that problem and give the soundfile a name. But couldn't find it. Thanks for your assistance. 73, Stephan -- Stephan Forth DF6PA Mainz Germany

Pi3 to Pi4
5
Greetings- I know the Build-a-Pi was orphaned for 73 Linux, but I have put a great dela of personalization into my current BaP setup on a Pi3. I recently acquired a Pi4, which I know should give me the added benefit of being able to load VARA. So, I simply moved my SD card from my Pi3 to my Pi4, but when I run the BaP updater to add VARA, it doesn't seem to recognize that I am now on a Pi4, and it won't let me add VARA. Is this expected behavior? Do I need to reload BaP (or switch to 73 Linux) and then go through the process of rebuilding my BPQ node and configuring direwolf, etc? Thanks for the help... Adam, KM7N

WSJT-X on Raspberry pi 5
I have been following this group some time. I have very little experience with RPi Linux so I was using 73 Linux. I have been trying to get WSJT-x functioning on my 8gb Raspberry Pi for about a year now. I was excited to see the recent 73Linux actually loading the program. But it was a beta version that went away on 1/15/25. Can anyone direct me to a site that can help? Dave Dave Hoxworth 1700 Stonehedge Findlay, OH 45840-7728 Cell 419-306-5013

Anyone running 73Linux on Ubuntu 24.04?
2
Ubuntu is suggesting that I upgrade to 24.04...... I'm happy where I'm at on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS running on a 10 yr old ex-windoze machine, so I don't want to upgrade unless it's a sure thing. Using it for Pat Winlink/Vara HF only. Only thing is that I don't get the rig frequency to report into the Conky window, but that is not really a concern, the rig control works as expected otherwise. On a somewhat related note, just FYI I'll throw this out there... On a Pi4/32 bit, the Pat-Mailbox/Vara HF is timing out in the action>connect to remote node>select target..... very hard to get to the point where I can select a node and connect. But, on the good side, running Direwolf/Xastir is very responsive and useful. I noted during the install on the Pi4/32 bit, that I had to load Vara HF from the Pi-Apps menu, and that Vara FM was not available to load. Interesting. I'm able to run both VARAs on the Ubuntu ex-windoze machine. Oh well. I wonder if trying Pat-Mailbox/Vara HF on a Pi 5 (32bit?) would work better? I recall reading that the CPU benchmark for the Pi5 is not substantially greater than the Pi 4 that's why I'm asking. 73 Jim W0JPO

Running Linux 73 and Conky covers my taskbar. How do I lower Conky? Using the Conky prefs in Preferences only changes the size, but not the location.

#aprs #bap Correct where to get APRS passcode
#bap
#aprs
I have noticed that the $HOME/bin/webchat/config/aprsd.conf file has a comment on where to get the 4-digit APRS passcode (hash from the license callsign -minus the -ssid) # APRS Password Get the passcode for your callsign here: # https://apps.magicbug.co.uk/passcode (string value) #password = That URL has been disabled. Please change it to: https://www.iz3mez.it/aprs-passcode/ and please revise any related template .conf files and instructions. I am trying to write instructions for our group on how to pass APRS text messages to AREDN Please be more explicit in the readme for https://github.com/km4ack/webchat and related scripts (BAP) that before running the $HOME/webchat/install script, that direwolf flrig and hamlib need to be installed and the related .conf files need to be edited for the install script to run correctly.

New install issues Rpi 4
8
I decided to update my old Buster install of RPi OS and install 73Linux anew. I did overinstall 73Linux over BAP and this seems to work just fine ¡ and Conky shows correctly. So flashed a new SD card with 32-bit Bookworm and then a full install of 73Linux. I see Wayland is installed by default. And I immediately see the black box of Conky ! So I spent some quality time reading comments ¡ and more comments ¡ for hours. I managed to use Wayland and add a line or so in conkyrc to get now a transparent nothing box. I can tell something¡¯s there as when I right click in it I get the expected nothing ¡ but nothing shows. At wits end now. Is there a proper order to installing all this or magic incantation to get this in particular to work ? I¡¯m at a point where I can just start over and try again. 73, Jamie WB4YDL

I attempted to do the Winter Field Day Challenge but only had 50% success. I posted my position via 2 meter packet repeater. I received an acknowledgement of the position report via my own email address but nothing on winlink. I checked back a few hours later and sent an Inquiry request for WL2K_NEARBY. I never received an acknowledgement nor any did I get any report back. I tried a few times for the next couple of hours and same result. I even by-passed the radio and used telnet, with the same result. I did notice that I can send email from winlink but it appears that I cannot receive anything. I have my own email address listed as allowed in the Winlink system (logged into my winlink account and verified this) but if I sent an email to winlink it never shows up. Are there other settings I need to check? Thank you. Larrie AF7NU

One last try before I literally shoot my pi 3
18
So for years I have owned this useless little box. I have watched the videos and have tried multiple times to get this to work with a radio. Any radio. Do anything other then waste my rime and develop and anger issue that will make a therapist rich. at this time I simply want to connect my fr8900 to the po and run some kind of irlp program to put activity on my repeater. Tried ham voip. Installed it and then nothing happens. No screen to go anywhere to go online no connections. Dead. tried all star thing and my repeater can¡¯t do that due to a very specific controller I am using. so what else can this useless little box do other than waste time. I had the original pi os a long time and then support went away for it. So what can I do with this to allow me to connect to a radioto use the pi3?
