Re: Anyone Successfully Running NOAACAP?
Hey Jon -?
Thanks for your note.? I've searched everywhere to no avail.? I must've installed NOAACAP wrong.? Glad you were able to make your stuff work and create new things!? I'll keep banging on towards a resolution.

Re: Anyone Successfully Running NOAACAP?
Hi Chris,
I have NOAACAP running on a RPi, configured to send out info for my county too but only for my own learning & enjoyment.? The experience helped me become bold enough to create new scripts called by CBEACON that retrieve & send out other unique free-text data, which was what I was aiming for.
I would suggest starting in the following directories:
noaacap.conf should be in /etc
direwolf.conf is probably in the home directory of your user account, and you've probably edited it before. ;)? The cd command by itself should take you there (i.e., $ cd).

ahh thank you! I was able to turn off the beep for this.
Can it be filtered out in direwolf?

Anyone Successfully Running NOAACAP?
I have been trying to implement NOAACAP into an instance of Direwolf
installed on an RPi for the purpose of IGating severe WX warnings for my
county. I'm currently setup as an RX only node. The installation of the code went fine. Where I'm getting
jammed-up is finding the following two files to edit per the
instructions:
"direwolf.conf" and "noaacap.conf". I have GREPped until my eyes bled and
I can't find them. Any guidance? Feeling sort of dumb, here.
=> DIREWOLF CONFIGURATION <==
Add a line similar to the following to direwolf.conf:
CBEACON EVERY=2 VIA=WIDE2-1 INFOCMD="/usr/local/bin/noaacap.py"
==> NOAACAP CONFIGURATION <==
Edit /etc/noaacap.conf:
Do not remove the [noaacap] section header.
Many thanks in advance and vy 73,
Chris - W4LUC

Thanks for the follow-up. What VNC server were you using previously??

Re: Linux/Ubuntu iGate does not work - Windows works
Hi,
Mystery solved. The 'sendto=IG' option was missing from the 'PBEACON' configuration line. Interestingly, Direwolf on Windows was missing that option too but was able to send the updates regardless.
Lesson learn: given the same software version and configuration, behaviour might change based on OS..
The "input level too high" log message, it was Direwolf complaining while no input was provided: no SDR-sharp was running when I captured the log. My bad. Once running the message disappeared.
As a side note - but this is a topic for another time - rtl_fm doesn't seem to work on Windows (I was made aware of those rtl-tools porting on Windows very recently). It could be that the Direwolf configuration has to change to accommodate for a different input. It could be that the the PPM error correction isn't quite right - rtl_test doesn't seem to have the -p option on Windows - and honestly the laptop is different, that means the PPM error correction I have on Ubuntu most likely doesn't work for Windows.? I haven't investigated too much as I am happy to use Ubuntu as my primary iGate.
Thanks both for your suggestions.
M.

Re: PTT config for Yaesu FTM-200DE
Thank you for your clever answers and help, I will read all of them slowly and check the different options shown.
By the moment, I am using a FT-817ND (which is the one I like to free for SOTA) and found the equivalence between the 2 rigs' data connector pins.
The FT-817 is working now for several years with an "U5 Link box for Yaesu" and I am currently waiting for the 10pin connector to arrive.In the meantime, I'll try your options.
If all works ok, that's the way it will remain. Otherwise, I'll try another solutions. I'll tell you how it all goes.
Actually, the final goal is to have Direwolf running as now is, on ver 1.6 under Debian 10 on an I5 PC. (I prefer much this than having it running under Windoze)
Thanks all you again!

Re: Linux/Ubuntu iGate does not work - Windows works
Hello Mau,
Are you saying that the Direwolf logs from both Windows and LInux
are effectively identical?? If so, that would be strange.?? For
the "Audio Input level too high" issue, how are you connecting
your SDR from Windows?? Are you using the rtl_fm command line
program just like as described here for Linux?
? Section 9.1.6.2 in the Direwolf User Guide
??? or
?
??
Next, try turning on Igate debugging in Direwolf to see why
the Linux version doesn't seem to be sending updates:
?? -di
or
?? -dii
You can see what other debugging options are available by seeing
section 9.16 Command Line Options in the Direwolf User Guide.
If things still look ok, consider installing tcpdump on the LInux
machine and before you start Direwolf, run the following command
line:
?? sudo tcpdump port 14501
In a different window, start Direwolf and see if your computer
brings up a three way TCP connection to the remote APRS-IS server
AND sends a beacon packet

Re: Linux/Ubuntu iGate does not work - Windows works
I can't say much about the logs, but the "Audio input is too high" message can be fixed by either:
Reduce the output (speaker of Audio-out) of the radio - volume control
if setup that way, or resistor network? (or variable resistor), OR
(the easier way - if available) reduce the Mic gain of the sound card.?
Since it wants the value to be about 50 and you are at 195, you should
probably try to reduce it by quite a lot.
You don't provide much on the radio to sound card interface.? HT audio out tends to be quite high and controlled by? the volume knob. Data audio outputs are typically quite usable straight out of the radio.

Thank you all,
in fact I was trying packet in connected mode at 9600 baud, and it did not work. Then I discovered that?
one radio had the tones on. When I put it off I got connection, However I did not notice problems at 1200 baud,

He wasn’t asking specifically about APRS, DireWolf is also used for connected packet extensively these days. ? Brian N2KGC ?

Hello folks,
can you confirm that transmitting sub audio tones will spoil the communication, at least at 9600 baud?
That's what I found and is probably well known.?

From time?to time I get a pop up on my FT5 from my direwolf igate/DiGi that has? OM>(callsign) It won’t log to my station list or message list on the radio.
