Re: starting direwolf errors

Hello Clinton,

I finally figured the issue with the install (updated commands are helpful) but when running direwolf I get the following errors.

For the "original steps" you were following, where did you read those?? Do you have a URL?


My set up is a baofeng UV5R+, RTL-SDR receiver R820T2, raspberry pi 3B+. Thank you for any help, yes I am new to this. The bold are the red error lines

Can you describe your setup?? Since you 're showing two radios here (a Baofeng and a RTL SDR), I hope you have these connected to two different antennas and they are placed far apart.? Unless you're very careful here, you can destroy your SDR if the Baofeng radio transmits into it.


Dire Wolf version 1.6
Includes optional support for:? cm108-ptt
ERROR - Could not open config file sdr.conf
Try using -c command line option for alternate location.

Please show us how you're trying to start Direwolf (the command line) as well as share us any configuration files.? It's clear here that Direwolf cannot find the "sdr.conf" file from the current directory you're in when you try to start Direwolf.


Audio input device for receive: ¨C? (channel 0)
Audio out device for transmit: default? (channel 0)

This looks as if you're trying to take the output from rtl_fm and send it into Direwolf.? That's fine for receive.


ALSA lib pcm.c:2660:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM ¨C
Could not open audio device ¨C for input
No such file or directory

You might be victim to a classic Microsoft copy and paste issue where Windows will translate a "-" hyphen character into a LONGer unicode character that looks similar but it's NOT.? In the command line start up or in the direwolf.conf file, be sure the input is using a real hyphen character.


Exact sample rate is: 1008000.009613 Hz
r82xx_write: i2c wr failed=-9 reg=12 len=1
r82xx_set_freq: failed=-9

Those errors don't look good though maybe not fatal.? Where did you get this RTL dongle?? Not all are equal and some of these are very poorly made, poorly supported, etc.
