Re: PiGate possible with TNC-Pi9k6 and BF HT?
|
If you like being frustrated, keep trying.? :)? I don't know how many people have come to me to get these radios to work, and nearly all have given up and bought a better radio.
It *is* possible, but these radios just are not designed for digital and many times just won't work.? I have two that I have experimented with.? One works OK, the other just sometimes refuses to work for no reason.
As has been mentioned, turnoff everything in the menu system that can be turned off, and set everything that has a value to zero.? Then perhaps it will work.? Eventually you will buy a decent radio and the world of packet communications will open up to you.
Good luck!

I've built a PiGate following Mark Griffith's excellent instructions and thought I'd take a shot to see if a BF-F8HP was capable of connecting with local RMS stations. So far I am unable to connect (time out errors in the log file) though I hear packets being sent... Does it require particular TNC settings (ie transmit voltage) or radio settings? Or am I just being silly in trying with a cheap 8 W radio and a modest antenna?
