Re: Digipeating fails but Igate continues to function - Windows 7
We have been noticing this on a Raspberry Pi, using a DIO for PTT control.? It happens randomly, but at a much longer timeframe - a couple weeks to a month or so.? The system is remote, so we can't physically?observe it, but we can ssh into it.? We are now logging DW's output, and also monitoring it at another station. Just now I was able to connect to it with APRSIS32 via a KISS port, and it was receiving well and may have transmitted a packet or two from that. In every case, simply restarting DW has gotten it going again.? The RPi itself has been up for a long time, and we don't have to reset it. Erik, WB0NIU |

Re: Periodic audio device statistics
David Ranch
开云体育Hello ? I would argue that it's 99% for sure that if you can't record the audio coming in from the USB soundcard's microphone jack, something is wrong.? I would not worry about Direwolf until you can get it to record the open squelch noise from your RX radio or some other audio source.? Please also note that it's important that you add a decoupling capacitor from the USB soundcard's microphone port to your radio's audio output.? There is a multi-volt BIAS voltage coming from the USB device that can harm your radio if it doesn't have any decoupling circuitry itself.
Please tell us about your setup: ?? - Radio you're using ? ? ? - Are you using PTT or VOX ?? - Specific USB sound card you're using ???? - How is it connected?? Direct to the Raspberry Pi (recommended), connected behind a USB hub (not recommended) ?? - Paste in the configuration of your direwolf.conf file
Yes, that would cause it.? Please read the documentation and complete all of the recommended settings before emailing the list asking why it doesn't work. --David KI6ZHD |

Re: Periodic audio device statistics
Okay...tried the recording and nothing on it. I had tried this before with the same results. I sent the wav file to my PC and it was silent. Other wav files play fine on my PC.
Is it for sure that if there is nothing on the wav file, Direwolf is not hearing input on the sound card. Also, is the inverse true? If there is audio on the wav file, can you be certain Direwolf is getting the audio? This is why I wanted to get the periodic device statistics. Do you have any idea why they do not work? Could I be typing the command incorrectly? At the wrong place? Exactly how do you enable the statistics? "direwolf -a 10"? Could the statistics not be working because I don't have the Direwolf configuration file correct? |

Re: Periodic audio device statistics
I really didn't want to write up all the things I have tried in the last two weeks. Nor did I want to force you to read all of it.
I've been trying to follow what was done in the document at the link below... I purchased one of the sound cards recommended in the pdf. As I said, I'm no Linux expert. I did execute the commands in the document to remove Pulse, but I wouldn't know how to confirm it was successfully removed. I have a degree in electronics and over 30 years of experience in the business so you can get technical about electronics. For things specific to Linux I will need detailed help. |

Telemetry error msg
My first attempt with?telemetry.? This large Direwolf project got me to this point in one day.? Thanks.? Running on a Raspberry Pi 3, Raspbian Jessie. Using SENDTO=RO to troubleshoot. Getting "Found fewer than expected number of telemetry data values." error message. Here's the config: CBEACON delay=0:10 every=10:00 sendto=RO via=WIDE2-1 infocmd="telem-parm.pl K7UOP-1 Temp Batt" And here's the direwolf output: [0.0] K7UOP-1>APDW13,WIDE2-1::K7UOP-1? :UNIT.degF,Vdc [0.0] K7UOP-1>APDW13,WIDE2-1:T#685,57.4,12.5 Note that I'm using raw decimal numbers (57.4,12.5)?for values instead of three digit integers. Also BTW,? the APRS-TW program does not display these decimal values. It shows zeros? (with raw values being the integer of my values). It also indicates 5 analog and 8 digital readings. I also wonder about the decoded?"Ambulance" thing too. I plan to decode my own data so I don't think these are an issue for my purpose. But it would be nice if other programs could see that proper data. |

Re: Periodic audio device statistics

A good step #1 would be to try to record the audio from your Rpi and see if you can play the audio back though a connected pair of headphones, etc. Though more command line centric, you can follow these steps to troubleshoot your setup:

I am attempting to set up a Raspberry Pi 3 as a receive only igate. I am using a Syba USB sound card. It indicates CMedia CM119 on the package. Direwolf will not decode packets. I have tried putting an isolation transformer and also a capacitor to block
the 5 volts at the sound card input, but it did not help. I won't bother you right now with all the details of why, but I suspect the input audio is not making it to the Direwolf program.

I have tried setting up periodic audio device statistics using "-a 10" but the statistics never show up. Not sure what I am doing wrong or exactly how to do this. Isn't it just added to the end of the command when you start Direwolf? I am running version 1.3 and the release notes indicate this is an option in that version. It would be helpful to know if audio is routed into the application and what level it is. I suspect the fact that these reports do not show up may be related to the audio not making it to the program. I am fairly computer literate, but certainly not a Linux expert (and hope not to become one). Thanks |

Re: Direwolf as IGate - Pseudo Kiss port in APRSIS32 Not sending receiving messages.
I want direwolf to hand it off to the?APRS-IS network, which is what I'm struggling with as it keeps trying to send it over RF which does not exist.
APRSIS-32 works fine using?APRS-IS, ?but I don't want to use it like that.? ? |

Re: Direwolf as IGate - Pseudo Kiss port in APRSIS32 Not sending receiving messages.
开云体育You need to make a decision -- do you want direwolf to communicate with the APRS-IS network, or do you want it to hand off to APRSIS-32 and let APRSIS-32 handle the connections to the APRS-IS network? I would suggest the second option, in which case this becomes an APRSIS-32 issue, not a Direwolf issue. There is a good support forum for APRSIS-32. 73 de Matt VK2RQ On 26 Jan 2017, at 8:15 am, dale.robins@... [direwolf_packet] <direwolf_packet@...> wrote:

Re: Direwolf as IGate - Pseudo Kiss port in APRSIS32 Not sending receiving messages.
Hi Matt,
AGW/KISS is set up correctly in APRSIS-32 I am actually receiving messages, if I disable Tx then it won't try and tell direwolf to send the message or ack, how do I get direwolf to treat anything sent over the KISS/AGW port to send to an via the APRS-IS server. |

Re: Direwolf as IGate - Pseudo Kiss port in APRSIS32 Not sending receiving messages.
开云体育Configuration will be in APRSIS-32 -- you need to set up the AGW port that faces your direwolf modem to handle messages and to enable TX (although if you don't have a transmitter connected, better to leave TX disabled in the APRSIS-32 settings). 73 de Matt VK2RQ On 26 Jan 2017, at 7:23 am, dale.robins@...

Re: Direwolf as IGate - Pseudo Kiss port in APRSIS32 Not sending receiving messages.
David Ranch
开云体育Hello Dale, ? Which version of Direwolf are you using and what OS are you running it on?? Are you using PTY-KISS, TCP-KISS, or AGW?
In this configuration, are you IGATING from Direwolf or from APRSIS?? If you want messaging, I recommend you disable the Igate functionality from within Direwolf and do it from within APRSIS32.
Make sure that the callsign configured in Direwolf is DIFFERENT than in APRSIS32.? Again, disable IGATING from within Direwolf and only use it as a KISS or AGW TNC.
This might be a configuration issue but as mentioned above, just use Direwolf as a TNC and I think you're issues will go away.? This is only required since you want to support APRS messaging which Direwolf doesn't offer a direct interface to do today. --David KI6ZHD |

Direwolf as IGate - Pseudo Kiss port in APRSIS32 Not sending receiving messages.
I have direwolf set up as an IGate and using the Pseudo Kiss or AGW setup on my APRSIS-32, Data is being sent to APRSIS-32 and can see all the stations my Rx only IGate is picking up. I have 2 issues: 1, Any message being sent to me does not appear on APRSIS-32 nor does it send any ack packet. 2, Any message via?APRSIS-32?I send shows on my direwolf console shows direwolf trying to send it as a radio packet, however I have no Tx capable radio attached and is Rx only. Is there a config I need to add or change for KISS/AGW to enable me to use a client attached as described. |

Re: RPI, Direwolf, RTL-SDR dual frequency receive

Hi David,
?
Thanks for the RTLSDR-Airband info.? I will play with
it.? Maybe there is an easy way to interface it with Direwolf.? I have
play before with other RTL-SDR software like aisdeco to decode ship beacon on
two frequencies and acarsdeco to decode airplane messages on 3
frequencies.? So, thought it should be possible to decode 2 or 3
frequencies within 2.4 mhz.

Re: IGate not sending rx data, only beacons
The APRS-IS servers remove duplicates. ?If multiple IGate stations submit the same packet, only the first one is retained. ?If some other station sent the same information a millisecond sooner, the duplicate that you send later is not kept. ? That could explain why your information is not showing up.
This document gives more information about how it all works. ?There are troubleshooting tips at the end. ?Specifically, you could use the "-di" command line option to see what is being sent to the APRS-IS server. ?You will need to use direwolf version 1.4 for all of the features mentioned here. |

Re: RPI, Direwolf, RTL-SDR dual frequency receive

开云体育Hello Jose, The rtl_fm tool only allows demodulating one frequency at a time but I recently came to learn of .? This software can support 8 "slices" per SDR dongle and was designed with the Rpi in mind.? --David KI6ZHD On 01/23/2017 08:15 PM, Jose Ng

RPI, Direwolf, RTL-SDR dual frequency receive
Jose Ng
I installed Direwolf on a Raspberry Pi with RTL-SDR and can decode APRS packets OK with the command: rtl_fm -f 144.39M - | direwolf -c sdr.conf -t 0 -r 24000 -D 1 - Is it possible to have a dual frequency receive with the RTL-SDR? I tried this command for dual frequency received but the program quits with message End of file on stdin.? Exiting. rtl_fm -f 144.39M -f 145.01M - | direwolf -c sdr.conf -t 0 -r 24000 -D 1 - Jose / HP2AT |

Re: IGate not sending rx data, only beacons
Keith,
I put it on another device earlier (o2 Joggler) not sure if anyone has used one of these but thought it would be useful as I can put a map on the screen. I feel a bit of an idiot here as a friend pointed out that looking at my own raw packets won't show what I've actually heard or put through the igate. Only any thing I've directly sent like beacons. And the Magenta text doesn't show when relaying heard stations to the igate. I looked under?
? I've used APRS for a while on a Mobilinkd TNC2 and a Kantronics KPC-3 but IGate is new to me, but now it's starting to make sense. |
