Thank you for the reply.
I've given that a go before though I may have missed what I was looking for and I don't think I realized it was the official Direwolf howto guide so let me give it a go again and see what I can get done and get back to you.
Regarding operating on the FT857 while operating VHF APRS it's very likely I'll have something like JS8Call or WSJTX or FLDigi going on the FT857 while the 300DR is doing APRS.
Basically they'll be handled by different applications at the same time though I'd like to be able to switch it up when and if needed.
Such as putting it in a APRS bridge or something of the sort. Bridging VHF to HF such as in the situation of being unattended for any reason there by allowing a local station to reach far away stations and visa versa while off the grid.
This would be a just in case situation
Being able to have a application like YAAC monitor, send and receive messages at the same time would be handy as well with both.
Basically it's a contingency plan, just in case.
For now I'll start with just the 300DR, make a backup of the config then try other options.
Baby steps, get it working then go from there.
I'll report back if I start racking my brain against the wall.
