Hi David,
? Thanks ! I had it setup this way "ADEVICE -? plughw:1,0"?
Without the dash in the middle made it worked!? I am using it on a Raspberry Pi.
Thank You ! 73?

Hello Juan,

I noticed it says below "Audio input device for receive: stdin? (channel 0)"?

You didn't mention what operating system you're running this on but ultimately, your direwolf.conf file has an error.? For example on Linux, your ADEVICE line should look like:
--
ADEVICE plughw:1,0
--

Your file might look similar but there might be hidden characters, etc.? Try deleting the entire line and re-type it just in case.

What does it mean? Do I need to set it up correctly on the config file so that?
the TX and RX would be on the (plughw:1,0) (channel 0)??

Please help. Thanks! 73 Lot / k6irf

Hi Everyone -?
? I am having problems with decoding packet signals. I already checked the receiver and input to mic in of cm108 soundcard. I can record through it and working well.?
The one I want to check is if I have it correctly setup in direwolf.conf .?
I noticed it says below "Audio input device for receive: stdin? (channel 0)"?

What does it mean? Do I need to set it up correctly on the config file so that?

After you start direwoll but before you run kissattach, please send us the results of the two following commands:

?? ps aux | grep -i kissattach

?? ls -la /tmp/kisstnc

I just tried a couple of times. Only the required software running. Same results.

Hello Alfredo,

How do you extract path information (WIDE, Trace, ecc...) not having the raw packet content?

My script parses the Direwolf STDOUT decoded log.? If the detail is in that log, it tracks it.

The csv log seems to mask the complete path and shows only the last repeater station ("heard" column).

I'm not sure what you are referring to here.? Maybe Ross's Grafana based tool?

Hello Rick

kissparms -c 1 -p w2lk ... did the trick.

Ok.. that means your stack was still auto-discovering your KISS setup.? If you tried your connection a SECOND time, it would have worked for you without this specific kissparms tuning.

I m now able to connect, send and receive email... another problem has cropped up:
***
as root (su):
kissattach /tmp/kisstnc wl2k
kissattach: /tmp/kisstnc: open: Permission denied

kissattach /dev/pts/3 wl2k
AX.25 port wl2k bound to device ax0

Are you sure there isn't an old kissattach process already running?? Some commands to try:

ps aux | grep -i kissattach
ls -la /tmp/kisstnc

Ok.. it sounds like you don't have your Linux AX.25 stack setup correctly.? Once you configured your /etc/ax25/axports file, how are you bringing up the stack using the kissattach command?? I assume you're following the PAT documentation at ?? If so, instead of doing things the systemd way, did you try bringing things up the "Option2: manual" way?? You need to ensure the stack comes up properly and do some initial testing with say the "beacon" and "axcall" utilities before using a higher level applications like Pat.

It seems to me there is some strange permission error going on with kissattach /tmp/kisstnc wl2k. If I start direwolf -p as root, kissattach /tmp/kisstnc wl2k works.

Hello Alfredo,

Thank you for posting your project and it looks like a very nice start!? Along these lines, Ross KJ7GES posted a similar project using Grafanna and Prometheus ( ).? Lots of interesting ways to display metrics, etc.?

To add to the offerings, I developed a shell script that processes the last day's worth of data, parses it out like below and emails it to me.? Not very pretty nor interactive per se but it does help keep an eye on key metrics like "top talkers", etc.

Hello everybody,

first of all, happy new year!

I developed a web dashboard for direwolf. It parses the log file and extracts some statistics.

A realtime traffic monitor is also available.

It's a beta version and every additional test will be appreciated.

Code available here:

You can see the interface working here:

Feel free to suggest improvements and modifications.

I hope someone is interested.

kissparms -c 1 -p "radio" ... did the trick.
I have been able to connect, send and receive email using Direwolf/Pat-AX25

Thanks, Martin.
I'm aware of those restrictions and I'm sure I have crafted the message as per the APRS spec (and your example). I'm using a Raspberry Pi running Direwolf as a TNC for Xastir to send the message to my test system. I did discover a silly error (mixed up my "message_from" and "message_to" variables ) which your example helped me identify. With that corrected, Direwolf is logging that it sees an ack message, but Xastir is not marking the message acknowledged. At this point it no longer seems like a kissutil question so I'll dig into Xastir to make the next bit of progress.

One last question - the remote station (VY1EMO-9) instance of Direwolf? log reports:
ACK message 0m for "VY1EMO-9", BUS
What is the "BUS" part of the message about?

I am trying to get the Pat Winlink client to run under AX25.
I have set up the axports file and the port binds wl2k (port name) to /tmp/kisstnc, but when I try to make a connection with Pat, I get this error:
