Re: Transmitter stays keyed too long. T/R Delay rime
I would agree.... 1500ms is terrible and I can't
think of a reason why someone would design in such a huge delay
into their product!

1.5 seconds is an eternity.? Even lousy HTs
can T/R switch faster than that.? I would investigate
getting that shortened.

Thanks.. I'll give that a shot and see.... my adapter, though, looks
like it has a TX to RX delay that's set to 1.5 seconds. The RX to TX
time is good.
I *can* also use my Rigblaster Nomic with my IC-2200H, (which I actually
do all the rest of the time) so there is a definite way for me to be on
packet. I'm just playing with HTs.

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).

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.

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.
