Hello Jon,
I have a node set up at my house, on an antenna in the
window, and it connects just fine via USB to APRSIS32 running on a
Windows 7 box. It presents as a KISS serial modem. I have the LoRA
radio set up for approximately 1100 baud to maximize the range.
Like you and others have discussed, it'd be great to plug at least
one of these into a RPi running direwolf, and get "cross-band"
connectivity. Couldn't I set up direwolf to recognize a kiss
connection from a serial port within the same RPi, and pass
packets between the LoRA radio and the radio natively connected to
direwolf?
This won't work as Direwolf an KISS TNCs effectively create
duplicate functionality.? There is no way to decouple the APRS stack
from the KISS-TNC functionality in Direwolf.? Instead, consider
using some alternative APRS applications under Windows that support
a KISS TNC such as:
?? - APRSIS32
?? - YACC
?? - etc
