Hello Shimniok (no call given),


?
Config file, line 58: GPS must be configured to use TBEACON

I assume you've configured a Tracker beacon (tbeacon) in your direwolf.conf and also configured the use of your GPS using either the GPSNEMA or GPSD keywords.


But on direwolf-1.2 -- using the very same config file -- no such error and, in fact, the older version happily beacons the gps-provided position as instructed by the TBEACON statement.


Looking at the older Direwolf 1.2 Raspberry-Pi-APRS-Tracker.pdf documentation, this GPS support is via gpsd method ONLY.? Unfortunately, it seems the TBEACON there assumes that things just work vs. modern version of Direwolf requires that you specify which GPS method you want to use (GPSNEMA - aka direct serial support or GPSD via the daemon) in the direwolf.conf file.? This is obviously a change in behavior from a configuration point of view but I don' think this is a big deal.


Any ideas what might be amiss? Possibly a bug? Thanks!


Please update your direwolf.conf to reflect how you want to use your GPS and let us know how it goes.
