New Member Question
Hi Folks - new member here. I've had several RPis over the past few years and gradually grew away from them, mostly due to unreliability. They seemed to go off into the weeds when left on for days at

Re: Current List of known-working handhelds for 1200 baud TNCs?
Not a handheld, but I use the Leixen VV-898 mobile Easy to interface, easy to mount, low current draw, good sensitivity, relatively cheap.

using adafruit PiTFT for mobile ops.
Has anyone used a Pi with the adafruit PiTFT for radio display. I would like to operate mobile with my FT818ND. However the radios screen is too small to be used safely while mobile. I am currently

The Baofeng uv-5 is ¡°good-enough¡±¡ªfor me. And ¡°relatively cheap¡±¡ªfor me. The specific model is Baofeng UV-5RAX+ Unsolicited info: The gateway is 5 miles away. I hope this helps.

Re: Current List of known-working handhelds for 1200 baud TNCs?
As I alluded to in my initial post, for the Baofeng I have a custom PTT/audio interface that includes transformer audio isolation, a FET for PTT, a USB sound dongle, etc., and a PTT TOT and reset.
Re: Current List of known-working handhelds for 1200 baud TNCs?
Oh well let me step in it. Perhaps the cheapest radio interface which includes programmatic PTT control and works with Dire Wolf appears to be the DINAH AllStar designed interface. Assembled with

And also the NINO-TNC.? Much less expensive than the DRAWS hat if you don't need all the features... And the NEXUS DR-X which still requires a sound card and direwolf, but will control 2 rigs

Re: Current List of known-working handhelds for 1200 baud TNCs?
There are also purpose built HATs like https://nwdigitalradio.com/products/draws%E2%84%A2 that don't have the audio transformer issues (especially when you want to move beyond 1200 baud). -- John D.

Re: Current List of known-working handhelds for 1200 baud TNCs?
A signallink will work, but is pricey and uses an onboard VOX approach. There are cheaper interfaces which use the CM108 PTT control which is supported in Dire wolf and provides programmatic control

A SignaLink works fine. You'll need to read the docs to find out how to setup the device name. MarkKD0QYN? On Mon, Jan 17, 2022 at 1:35 PM, Don Rolph<don.rolph@...> wrote: An interesting

Re: Current List of known-working handhelds for 1200 baud TNCs?
An interesting question. Some assumptions: - you appear to be focused on Dire Wolf - it seems you are focused on Raspberry PIs We can state up front that the internal sound capability of th

Re: Getting the Pi to get accurate time for XSJT-X
You can get even better time accuracy if the GPS support PPS and you have it hooked up to a GPIO on the Pi. Adafruit and NW Digital Radio have HATs that support it. -- John D. Hays Kingston,

Re: Getting the Pi to get accurate time for XSJT-X
In my shack, I have an RPi with a hardware RTC, running weewx and direwolf, and using a serial GPS with 1pps output connected to the RPi serial port, then gpsd and ntp. Keeps excellent time

Current List of known-working handhelds for 1200 baud TNCs?
I occasionally build porta-digis that need to fit in things like ammo cans and can run on a SLA battery and 10-20 W solar power for indefinite periods of time. This means no mobile radios as their rx

Just to close out the thread, Charles mentioned he's using the HamPI distribution (in his first message). The HamPI distribution is configured to start /usr/sbin/ntpd at boot (via systemd starting

TNC-Pi9k6 - Component Shortage Notice
Just a heads up for those thinking of getting a TNC-Pi9k6 TNC.? The Teensy 3.6 controller has been out of stock for some time.? The 3.2 probably won't be in stock until June.? I have 19 - 3.6's

Another option for NTP is the chronyd program. A GPS can be added for a STRATUM 1 time source.

I'm totally new to the Pi computers, but look at the NTP client for the Pi... This comment thread might be useful:?
