Okay, I have been using the signalink with digi modes on my pi4 but now have the digirig. What would make my tuner not kick on when tx with the digirig? Thank you, KG6MTM

Installed way to late at night and fat fingered my call sign on install. Do I need to start over? Or can I change?

I was following Jason's video as he was checking the software to be installed. I checked GPS software to be installed, but when I hit continue, a dialoge asked where the GPPS was connected (it wasn't, only my DigiRig). I hit cancel, and it closed the install process. How do I get back to that? I won't select GPS this time. When I re-ran the GitHub install command, it said there was already a 73 Linux directory in my home folder. I just want to restart the software selection process. Does anyone know the command to do that?

I'm building up another computer for my RV. I've got an RPi 3B+ in a SmartiPi Touch case with the 7 inch touchscreen. I see that 73Linux is a ham package for install. Is that a complete distribution, or do I need to install a basic RaspberryOS first, then do the 73Linux thing? I'm not really finding a listing of what all 73Linux can do for me. I'd like to have things like HamClock, fldigi suite, APRS, and a few other odds and ends. I'm also looking for suggestions for some kind of audio interface and 12V power supply, preferably in a HAT. Thanks for any tips and info. -- 73, Michael WA7SKG "Any day you do not learn one new thing is a wasted day."

This happened both times when trying to build a new system I get the message Grid Square not set in Pat Configure File Run 'pat configure' to fix I set the grid square at the start of the 73 Linux run along with the Winlink password. It got lost somewhere in the install or this message is bogus. Clicked OK to continue Running 64 bit Pi4 system. One of he lines just before this YAD box was: jq: error: could not open file /pat/config.json: No such file or directory Grid Square not set in Pat Configure Distance/Bearings will not be accurate. I did install a GPS by selecting the GPS at the start of the install.

Hey all, Relatively new here. Is there CW Decoder in 73 Linux? Working on my General and haven't had time to start learning CW, but if like to be able to decide what's being sent until I get more fluent. If not, can someone recommend a decent software solution, preferably one that is cross platform. Thanks and 73 KF8COL - Aric

I'm unable to run the browser. Chromium sits there with the hour class, then quits. Firefox ESR runs and crashes. I tried it from the terminal. It said there was a brower (firefox) running and YAAC was controlling it. Inovota Quadra had firefox but it's not even on.

I'm in process of setting up my freshly flashed Pi 4. I've seen info about the PIapp. I guess I will have to look in KM4ACK video for vara fm. 73 Don Poaps New Westminster, BC VA7DGP DATA VA7QU VOICE Winlink: va7dgp@...

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

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@...

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

has anybody found a way for the text to show colors.

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 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

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

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
