Won't Send email to WL2K via RF Packet

Ron Melanson All Messages By This Member #409 Moving this topic over from the D-Rats Training thread... The gear I have: IC-880H, TNC-X, Mac Host, D-rats client. Brief re-statement of the problem, D-rats fails to Send email via WL2K using RF with TNC-X.? I have double checked everything: Active Winlink account, mail via internet through WL2K works fine, proper pre-fixes on To: and Subject: With the radio tuned to the closest Winlink station, I do decode their announcement "Winlink 2000 RMS Packet Station - Kensington, CA."? This confirms at least that the TNC can receive, decode, and pass the bytes up to D-Rats for display on the Chat window. When I compose an email, with the appropriate To:WL2K:email@" and Subject:"//Wl2K R/ foo", hit Send then again Send/Rec -- NOTHING happens.? I have also turned off my Tx Blocking, Squelch up -- still nada...? I think this is the crux of the problem -- no indication of a transmission of any kind.? I'm thinking that once I hit Send/Rec D-Rats should attempt a connection to the RMS station but there is zero indication it is even trying.? I do know the radio does transmit automatic GPS-A messages, I do know that I can transmit via chat on FM with the TNC.? D-rats just does not want to give the RMS station a try. I have the Radio setting as follows, the Driver as noted by D-rats looks odd to me. Radio: ? TNC ? AX.25 ON ? Port -> tnc-ax25:/dev/cu/usbserial-FTXXUK9J:0: 1200 ? Raw Text ON I tried 1200 both 9600 baud, I tried the cu. and tty. driver versions. What strikes me odd is the Port numbering at the end of the drive ...9J:0:, that :0: bothers me, although receive works hearing the RMS station.? Just looks funny.? I did see a posting where someone using a RPI had to delete an extra colon in on eof the D-RATS hidden config files. Any ideas?? If anyone out there has a MAC + TNC-X RF/WL2K working I'd love to know how you have that set up. 73 ron
Ron Melanson All Messages By This Member #410 A clue!? Hidden files OFF, found D-rats debug.log.? Extract from that log and Call Trace Back shows an error of interest. Looks like I am missing lzhuf? Or the directory structure for d-rats failed to build properly. IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Applications/d-rats-daily-02232012.app/Contents/Resources/libexec/lzhuf' Any suggestions? ron

Apparently, when the program installs, it doesn't install the same way every time.? Mine didn't install with the correct or consistent directory tree, then after removing everything, it finally did a clean install.?

Ron Melanson All Messages By This Member #412 Well I think your onto something Jim. I did unhide hidden files and found a debug.log file. Of interest was the following error message. IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Applications/d-rats-daily-02232012.app/Contents/Resources/libexec/lzhuf' Indeed, the sub-director /libexec is missing and therefore so isn't lzhuf and anything else that was supposed to be in there. So I should just give a re-install another try.? ALthough this has to be at least the 2'nd attempt and on two different Mac's. ron On Monday, September 15, 2014 11:15 AM, "'James R.

Ron Melanson All Messages By This Member #413 开云体育 I think this is now a problem understood but not solved :-( Simply put, I am missing the essential "lzhuf" compression algorithm to support the Winlink B2F protocol () :-(?? This should be in the directory /libexec/ but that is missing in action. If there is anyone out there on OSX successfully sending email via RF/packet to Winlink you probabbly have /libexec files on your system.? I would greatly appreciate a copy of what you have in that directory, esp the compression algorithm lzhuf, but there may be more files of need :-\ If anyone out there has what I need, drilling that out of OSX is not that simple :-( You will need to launch "Terminal" cd to root then cd to the path above.? Any takers I would be delighted to walk you through this ;-) 73 ron IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Applications/d-rats-daily-02232012.app/Contents/Resources/libexec/lzhuf'

Hey, Ron. I would try and fetch the source, extract and move the binary to the proper location. wget && tar -zxvf d-rats-0.3.3.tar.gz && mv d-rats-0.3.3/libexec/lzhuf /Applications/d-rats-daily-02232012.app/Contents/Resources/libexec/ In theory this is all one command you can run from the terminal. You might have permission issues with the last line and need to do only that one as root... I don't really know OSX. Hope it helps. Scott

[email protected] #667 Did you ever find a solution? I can see that lzhuf is missing from the installation, but I cannot follow the wl2k.py code well enough to find where to copy it TO. wl2k.py calls p.source_dir() when looking for lzhuf and that resolves to "." (current working dir) which is not terribly helpful. I am on Linux here.
Don Poaps VA7QU All Messages By This Member #669 Mitch I'm not a linux guru but would the guys from Linux_Rms have an answer. I wonder how this would work as I run a winlink gateway using BPQ32. and D rats thrown in the mix. I can use AWG and UZ7HO Soundmodem and use the port 9000 for example. I'm curious if the data can be imported into BPQ32. Msg, and conference bulletin could be read via D-rats. Similar to what Outpost does.?
