Hello Don,
If GPSD is not enabled and I use PBEACON and
digipeating Direwolf is functioning, packets are received?by a
wide variety of stations.? A capture of the sound is below as
nogpsd.m4a.
This sounds ok though I'm guessing your using a Kenwood radio
right?? Why am I hearing a beep before the AFSK-1200bps packet and
then another beep after the packet.? That should NOT be happening.
If GPSD is enabled, and I use PBEACON?and digipeating,
Direwolf packets are in general not?decoded by any system.
?(sometimes one gets lucky but success is at best
intermittent).? A capture of the sound is attached as
gpsd.m4a.
To me, it sounds like you're missing the begining of the packet
here.? Have you 100% opened the squelch on your radio?? This is how
Direwolf is intended to run.?? If this turns out to be your issue,
maybe starting up gpsd and thus powering up your GPS is creating
some interference on the VHF receiver and it's hurting your current
squelch setting.? Again.. open it up 100%.?? Also.. the Kenwood
beeps are there which should NOT be there.
- Rasperry PI 3
- Raspian?with Pulse?audio removed per Raspberry
instructions
- Direwolf 1.6
Please note that the recommendation to remove PulseAudio is no
longer required as this only applied to older versions of Raspberry
Pi OS.? There is an open Github issue on this:
???
Your existing setup should work perfectly fine with it removed but
of you're using Xwindows on this Raspberry Pi and want to use say
system sounds via a different soundcard, things probably won't work.
