Any suggestions for troubleshooting or alternatives would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help Spence.? What is strange is that today, after the pi-5 was set aside over night, I seems to work fine.? I was able to get your Email and am about to send this on the Pi-5.
I hope the intimation here is what you wanted.? I is what I have this morning with the Pi-5 working.? There is no 169.24.XXX>XXX address.
$ sudo ifconfig

TX packets 569 bytes 108931 (106.3 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

I'm not sure this information will be useful as the Pi-5 seems to be working right now.

If I hold down the shift key and use key to reformat the SD card and then let it boot it works FB.
However, after I shut down the Pi and later boot it it can't find the internet (although the terminal does download very slowly).

The RWS project allows anyone using an HF radio and a computer to access the internet from anywhere if needed, either because of an emergency or if you simply go somewhere that doesn't have internet. The current implementation of the server uses the VARA modem, which is free, though the uncapped speed version costs $70. (But, if you call CQ and a server with a licensed copy of VARA answers, there won't be any restrictions, and vice versa for any unlicensed server hosters) The server has a lot of built-in commands which allow you to:
- View a website (either in plain text or raw HTML)
- Perform a quick search
- Get the weather forecast for a given city + state
- Download a given URL (download is encoded into base64 to allow download through text, instructions for how to decode are given alongside the download)
- View and create threads and comments in the community section of the GitHub of the project
- Print server info, logs, and global active servers
I've read Part 97 of the FCC and I've made sure my server is fully legal. My end goal for the project is to have hundreds or thousands of servers hosted around the world, which would allow coverage for almost everyone on Earth. The server and instructions for how to host your own are listed at the GitHub: To connect to a server, make sure you have VARA and VarAC installed. Once those are installed and working correctly, go to 14.110 MHz USB and call CQ. (Both 500 Hz and 2300 Hz bandwidths are supported.) Wait for at least 2 minutes. If a server has heard you, it will call back and try to connect with you. The list of commands and other instructions are sent once you're connected. I need testers and server hosters to properly see if the server will work correctly in the real world! If you aren't using your radio at the moment, and if you have a computer connected to the radio, you can get the server running in 10 minutes and just let it sit in the background, waiting for a connection, with no further hassle needed. If you want an external helper for dealing with the downloads and base64, KC3VPB has created a helper that can decode base64 automatically and save it to a file. For more info or if you need help, email me: jpradiophone@...RWS Discord invite link: https://discord.gg/muYEBCjqsM

Hey Bill,
Glad we could help.
There are also a bunch of .tcl files associated with the PHP web stuff.
They are located in /usr/share/svxlink under events.d and modules.d
I seem to remember having a similar problem with web settings not getting saved.?
There is an openrepeater forum located at:
Aaron (N3MBH) and Dan (KG7PAR) are very helpful in answering questions.
Your W8COD QRZ page is very interesting.

Hi Gregg,
You conf file example helped me figure it out.
Apparently, the web interface in NOT updating the TIMEOUT value in the port setup.
I manually edited the file and set the timeout to 15, saved and rebooted.
Sure enough, the controller timed-out and the PTT line dropped after 15 seconds.
After playing around and testing with different values the timeout does work as expected if you manually edit the config file.
Now to look at the PHP/JS scripts to see why the timeout value isn't saved from the web interface.
So anyway, the TIMEOUT is now set to 150 seconds (2-1/2 minutes) and working great.
I appreciate you and everyone else that took the time to answer my plea for help.
For anyone interested, I am the Chief Radio Operator aboard the American Submarine USS COD SS-224.
We operate on the ham bands using the call sign W8COD.

Scroll down about half way through the page for links to some really cool pictures and videos.
Again, thanks for all the help.

The touch command followed by remove-purge fixed the problem and I’ve been able to install all of the updates. Thanks for your help!
