#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.

Re: Help with TNC9k6 setup
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:
# The format of this file is:
#portname?????? callsign??????? speed?? paclen? window? description
tnc???????????? KD0QYN-1??????? 19200?? 128???? 2?????? TNC-Pi2 VHF
#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
#etrunk???????? N0ONE-13??????? 38400?? 253???? 2?????? UHF Trunk East
#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)
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.

Re: Help with TNC9k6 setup
Don,
First, you'll also need to use the raspi-config utility to enable the console serial port, but disable console login.
Run "sudo raspi-config"
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.
Save these and finish.
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.

someone else (?) mentioned wifi/bluetooth on the same freq may be an issue... I'll check as both may have been on.
Power is not a problem. I am using a power/fan hat that is fed with 12V. I am overclocking (2G) and that is working very well. I can run wsjt-x and (at most) using htop - "read" 80-90% CPU, never seeing 100%.
The temp (at most) only went up 1-2 degrees C with the overclock.
Also using 120G SSD as boot device.
I will spec what I am using, if anyone wants part info.
The bluetooth isn't a "big deal" as most of the time I will use it headless. It is nice to be at the radio/computer while trying to make things work.
I need to figure out why my wired LAN is "dead" after moving things in the room a few weeks ago. I see no breaks. I have a tester...

Since both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are in the 2.4 GHz spectrum and the radios are both on the main board, it might be possible that you are having self-interference issues. Turn off the wi-fi and see if you still have issues. I would also be keeping an eye on the power situation. The more things you run such as the Bluetooth radio and such the more current you are drawing. If the power supply you are suing is marginal for the current needed this could be part of any issue.

Didn't have the problem when running LIbreOffice or other apps. Think
it becomes an issue when processor is busy decoding the radio signals.

I have been using my RPi both headless and with a monitor.
When sitting at the monitor, I have tried Bluetooth for the mouse and
keyboard.
I find that both mouse and keyboard get Hung for short periods of time.
I see it when I run wsjt-x.
I have not checked if it happens with a blank screen.
If I use a wired mouse/keyboard I don't see them hang.
Am I doing something wrong?
Are others seeing the same thing?
Not a big deal but it would be nice to reduce USB ports required...

Hi Dave,
"No, I do not wish financial compensation for this. However, I do have a PDF on the desktop called "GIVE BACK' which outlines two charities I support. I would appreciate donations to be sent there. And the image is also QSL ware, so if you like it, send me a QSL card! And if you ever find yourself in Atlanta, GA, look me up. We'll go out for a pint together!"
Where is the desktop that you are referring to? I have looked for it a couple of times and I cannot find it.
73,
Tryg

I got my downloads from the Kilo Prefix ?worked fine
Dave Slotter reported some ArmChair Lawyer Gripes on Git Hub, so he pulled the download off that site until it cooled off etc. ?The Prefix mirrors are various hams allowing him to use their Google Drive for downloads.

Hello again, I have been getting used to things and there is a lot to explore but I am fine with that. I have a fellow ham friend in MA, he just got his Pi4 and is eager to get started. I directed him to the link on but it is not working.? The link that both he and I are getting is in the picture below. Has the d/l link been moved? I am trying to turn as many operators on to this as I can. FYI Dave, it is amazing. If anyone can help with some linkage I would be very grateful. Thanks to evryone that is helping. 73, Tryg
