Re: dw-start.sh will not run from crontab
Crontab are used to run programs at specific time.This requires a specific layout within the crontab. So 2 things:1. I'd create a specific crontab bash script and call it only from crontab ???

Re: How configure 991a and direwolf for ISS

Re: How configure 991a and direwolf for ISS

Re: dw-start.sh will not run from crontab
Hi Ian. The Direwolf documentation makes the recommendation as a fail safe for a hung or crashed system. I just took the default to see if I could get things running. I am more perplexed about that

Re: dw-start.sh will not run from crontab
An easy check for RF is to dial down the power as low as possible.Most "big rigs" will go down to about 5 watts and ground as you say.If the PTT works okay at 5 watts, you know that is the problem. If
