Re: How configure 991a and direwolf for ISS
I just stumbled on something else. Using PTT /dev/ttyUSB1 RTS does key and unkey the 991, but only on sideband, LSB or USB, not FM or AM.

Re: How configure 991a and direwolf for ISS
Does RIG 135 refer to the 991a. Is Direwolf addressing hamlib? I will give it a try. This is how the 991a is set up for WSJT-X. WSJT-X will key the radio in 2 meters, and HF. T

Re: How configure 991a and direwolf for ISS
I think this discussion has been swirling around some vagueness but the way I read it, you are using CAT-based PTT control with Fldigi and WSJT-X and *not* a serial port's RTS signal for PTT. Having a

Re: dw-start.sh will not run from crontab
Joe, Run the exact command from a terminal (replacing /dev/null with a file) and see if you get the same error. i.e /home/pi/dw-start.sh >/home/pi/output.txt 2>&1 What is on line 1 of dw-start.sh? Ian

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

Hi Rob No...I was primarily directing my comments to Rick Hatton....sorry for any confusion. BTW, the FT991a is very easy to interface to, requiring only a usb cable.? So, while you can create a

Hmmm...what HAMLIB version are you using? Also, are you using feritte cores on your USB cables, rig properly grounded, etc?? If not, the RF from the rig can produce unpredictable operation. K

Re: How configure 991a and direwolf for ISS
The only thing that should be using ttyUSB1 or 0 is whatever ham software I am running at the time. They are virtual ports generated by having the 991a plugged in to the USB port. Thanks
