For some reason, I can not see the bottom of the config window for Pat Menu.? This is the only screen that appears to display longer then the desktop can display. Basically, the bottom is cut off and I can not see the buttons or the last few fields.
I've tried to change the resolution of the display w/o luck.
I'm using a RP 7" screen. Is there possibly a setting in the terminal that would fix the issue?
Thanks for the help

Re: SCU-17 Behind The Raspberry Pi?
Care to enlighten the rest of us that are having difficulty getting it to work? Any particular steps to get it to work, like having it recognized by linux and how to change the port and/or port settings? Any help would is greatly appreciated. I have mine plugged into a 8-port powered usb hub. I see 2 different entries when I use the lsusb command. Not sure which one is which. I do need the port numbers for CAT and PTT but don't know how to obtain them.

Re: SCU-17 Behind The Raspberry Pi?
Hello Pete
Yes, I use a SCU-17 with both the Pi 4 and 3A+ connected to a Yaesu FT-891 and FT-817nd. Works very nicely with wsjt-x and fldigi.

Re: Help with TNC9k6 setup
Depending on which board you purchase the appropriate firmware is pre loaded.? For instance if you get a TNC configured with the Raspberry PI headers then it has firmware loaded to interact with the PI using the GPIO pins set aside for serial communications (19200 baud btw).? If you get the "stand alone" TNC then the firmware loaded is for that specific configuration.
I have tested our TNC's with Mark's PiGate image and I don't recall having to change any settings.
One other item.? You can find pre-compiled binary's for the TNC9k6 on our site:?

Re: Help with TNC9k6 setup
Don,
If you will be using the PiGate image, there is nothing for you to do except plug the TNC into the Pi, load the image to an SD card, insert it about boot.
I don't know how the TNC-Pi9k6 from WVARC comes configured, you should talk with them, but the procedures to setup the board in the doc I attached are correct.? I don't currently support that particular board, but probably will in the near future.

Don,
If you have the latest Raspbian Buster installed, AX.25 is already there and ready to go.? However, you need to edit a couple files to get it setup.? The PiGate software does this for you, but if you want to do it yourself:
Edit /etc/ax25/axports
It should have some lines in there like this:
wl2k VA7DGP 1200 255 7 Winlink tnc?VA7DGP 19200 128 2 TNC-Pi2 VHF
# The format of this file is:

#uhfdrop??????? N0ONE-3???????? 9600??? 128???? 2?????? 443.425MHz+ 1200baud UHF Drop
#hfdrop???????? N0ONE-5???????? 9600??? 32????? 2?????? 40m HF Drop
#wtrunk???????? N0ONE-11??????? 38400?? 253???? 2?????? UHF Trunk West

#axudp????????? N0ONE-8???????? 115200? 253???? 2?????? Linux (AX25<->UDP)
Notice that I changed one to have a port name of tnc, and added my call sign and a speed of 19200.? This is for the TNC-Pi.
Then edit /etc/default/ax25
There are three settings you need to change:
AXPORT=tnc (or whatever you called it)
HBAUD=19200
DEV=/dev/ttyserial0? (you can also try /dev/ttyAMA0)
I didn't have this file in /dev/default/ac25
I added?
AXPORT=tnc HBAUD=19200 DEV=/dev/serial0
as seen on my PI
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /dev/serial* /dev/serial0 ?/dev/serial1 pi@raspberrypi:~ $ Just for verification?
Don
Save both these files and run the command "sudo service ax25 start"
Then run the command "sudo service ax25 status"
You should see the service status and there should be a line saying it is loaded and active.
You can also run this command to see if kissattach has been successful:
"sudo ps -ef | grep kiss"? and it should return a line of two showing kissattach has been run on the serial port.
Now, pat or APRS will be able to connect to that port,? /dev/serial0, and access the KISS modem.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
NOTE: This is for Raspbian Buster.? Any other version may have the files in a different location, different file names, or different entries in the files.

The board and procedure to build it is a little different than the other people selling this board, but the firmware configuration docs are still correct. I'm getting ready to make a change in my website to reflect that the TNC-Pi9k6 is the choice for both the PiGate and PiGate RMS devices.? Is is a drop-in replacement for the TNC-Pi2.? I'm not too happy with the progress MFJ is making with building the new TNC-Pi3 board, and the West Virginia group that is now selling the TNC-Pi9k6 as an assembled board has a great price, which is probably going to be close to what MFJ sells the 1200 baud only board for. Here's my web site in case you are interested in using your Pi and the TNC for communications with Winlink2000.  ?

Let me know if you have any more questions. On Friday, June 26, 2020, 6:58:46 AM CDT, Don Munson <w4gfq@...> wrote: EXCELLENT!!? ?

I am going to presume that somehow the putty connection to the pi was using the serial port?? Although how it still connects (as does VNC) confuses me ¨C but no matter. ? The obvious next question is where do I go from here for reading about how to configure and use this board? ? Don, W4GFQ ? ? First, you'll also need to use the raspi-config utility to enable the console serial port, but disable console login. Then go to menu 5, Interfacing Options, then menu P6, and disable the login shell over the serial port. On the next screen, keep the serial port enabled. Now try "sudo pitnc-getparams /dev/serial0 0" This works the same with the TNC-Pi2 or the TNC-Pi9k6 and will be the same with the TNC-Pi3 once MFJ starts selling them.

when I run the ./pitnc_getparams /dev/serial0 0 - I get the notation that RPi is using Serial 0 then Com Open Failed: permission denied.
I'm at a loss.? Searching here provides a slew of comm errors dated years back that are not trying serial but? ./pitnc_getparams 0 0 - when I try that it defaults to a TTY device (AAM0?) and simply repeats "retrying" which purportedly means a configuration issue.? But what configuration it is straight out of the setup - I've tweaked nothing in the RPI configuration.
Help?

Hi John,
it is the generation 1, I suppose. It has the little connector for the GPS on the same side as the 6-pin connectors. Order number 5482, Nov. 19th 2018
