Oh, can't you set a negative transmit hang time for this?

I'm using DW with a USB Echolink adapter on an HT. Essemtially it is a
USB soundcard and keying circuit on a dongle.
Yes, it works... BUT
The radio stays keyed longer than I'd like. I could miss packet
responses. I wish to use it with both APRS and connected packet.
Are there settings to change the transmit to receive delay?
Thus far, I have found none.

Re: Transmitter stays keyed too long. T/R Delay rime
Hello John,
Which HT are you using?? Though HTs will work, their TX keyup
times can be pretty slow (250ms+).? Settings in the direwolf.conf
file for TXDELAY (time Direwolf waits after the PTT signal has
been given before it starts playing the AFSK packet sounds) and
TXTAIL (the delay after the AFSK sounds are complete before it PTT
signal is removed).

David certainly knows the ins and outs of Dire Wolf better than I, and he recently recommended something to another operator that I wasn't aware of - which is pretty slick.?
A video is worth a bunch of words. . I don't have one set up.

Hello Alex,
So it sounds like you want to display various stats from the APRS
world onto an LCD display.? That shouldn't be too hard to do.
?? - First, you need to get a display.? The HamHud seems to use a
16 character x 4 lines display but there are LOTS of alternatives:
? ? ? - 16x2 LCDs: might be too small -
???? - 20x4 -
???? - There are lots of full color LCDs out there too (3.5",
4.0", etc) but maybe they won't be readable enough for your
installation
For example, here is a 20x4 project that's well documented:
??
Once you have the display working, I imagine parsing the STDOUT
output from Direwolf won't be too difficult

My RPi and RTL dongle iGate is really working well. It
has taken a bit of sorting out after I tracked down a
problem with a knackered SD card but it is perfect now.
One next step for me is to get some kind of output to a
screen. I don't want to just output the console as it is
but would like the data to be cleaned up and displayed
nicely on an LCD. I have no experience with this kind of
thing so any pointers would be appreciated. I've heard of
something called
and that kind of output is what I'm after. If that gives
you a clue.
After that it'll be weather data, but that will be another
day
Thanks
Alex, g7kse

Re: Packet Terminal Program for Droid, etc.
Nope. APRS, though.
Just Lynn's (KJ4ERJ) . recently under development.

All,
Anyone here ever seen the equivalent of a packet terminal program for
portable tablets, phones and anything else that uses one of those
Bluetooth TNCs?
Thanks.

Re: Recommendation for console APRS client?
Hello Steve,
Well, I have no idea how you would display maps in a textual view.?
Going the GUI route:
?? - N7NIX DanTracker : medium weight messaging client via a web
browser (local or remote) but currently doesn't have maps
?? - YAAC : medium weight Java program that can run locally
?? - Xastir : heavy weight client that can run locally via Xwindows
- feature packed

Hi,
I'm using Direwolf on Debian and wonder if there's any
text client (for Linux) that would show general info,
maybe even crude maps :)? If there is such a beast I would
love to hear about it.

I don't see why it wouldn't work assuming this is a
quality board.? Few thoughts:
?? - The PINE64 specs look impressive but there is more to a board
than performance.? It's the support and the community behind the
board that counts too.? The Raspberry Pi community is amazing and
it's constantly updated and maintained.? You cannot say the same
about some of the other "higher performance" SBC products out
there that have been quickly deprecated in favor of their newer
board (to only get deprecated).? This is the new IoT model and in
my opinion, it's an emerging disaster.? Hopefully the Piine64
people won't be like this but only time will tell.
?? - Since this board looks to be able to run various Linux
distributions, you should be able to compile Direwolf without too
much work.? Those steps are fully documented in the Direwolf User
Guide
?? - One risk here can be the compatibility of the soundcard on
this SBC with Direwolf.? Direwolf is known to have some
limitations with some soundcards on the Raspberry Pi so I would
assume the same risks apply here.? This is easy fix though with
adding an external $7 USB sound device
