Hello Clinton,

I finally figured the issue with the install (updated commands are helpful) but when running direwolf I get the following errors.

For the "original steps" you were following, where did you read those?? Do you have a URL?

My set up is a baofeng UV5R+, RTL-SDR receiver R820T2, raspberry pi 3B+. Thank you for any help, yes I am new to this. The bold are the red error lines

Can you describe your setup?? Since you 're showing two radios here (a Baofeng and a RTL SDR), I hope you have these connected to two different antennas and they are placed far apart.? Unless you're very careful here, you can destroy your SDR if the Baofeng radio transmits into it.

Dire Wolf version 1.6

ERROR - Could not open config file sdr.conf

Try using -c command line option for alternate location.

Please show us how you're trying to start Direwolf (the command line) as well as share us any configuration files.? It's clear here that Direwolf cannot find the "sdr.conf" file from the current directory you're in when you try to start Direwolf.

Audio input device for receive: –? (channel 0)

Audio out device for transmit: default? (channel 0)

This looks as if you're trying to take the output from rtl_fm and send it into Direwolf.? That's fine for receive.

Could not open audio device – for input

No such file or directory

You might be victim to a classic Microsoft copy and paste issue where Windows will translate a "-" hyphen character into a LONGer unicode character that looks similar but it's NOT.? In the command line start up or in the direwolf.conf file, be sure the input is using a real hyphen character.

Exact sample rate is: 1008000.009613 Hz

r82xx_write: i2c wr failed=-9 reg=12 len=1

Those errors don't look good though maybe not fatal.? Where did you get this RTL dongle?? Not all are equal and some of these are very poorly made, poorly supported, etc.

Hi,

I’m using the command line from the powerpoint

?

For the original steps I was using the powerpoint from direwolf

?

I have the the baofeng and the rtl-sdr connected to 2 different antennas, the radio antenna is in my garage up about 9 feet and the rtl-sdr is in my office up about 4 feet, I will eventually move them but I am trying to get this set up and going first.

?

To set up the rtl-sdr in raspberry pi I put in the following commands from the powerpoint:

?

?

I think I have another rtl-sdr in my stash, I’ll find it and see if that helps.

?

I did paste the command above to start direwolf, I’ll type it in and see if anything changes

?

I did try the command grep “Dire Wolf DEVELOPMENT” src/direwolf.c but that only returned the line

Grep: src/direwolf.c: No such file or directory

?

Thanks again for your help

Hi

I typed it in and I didn’t get as many errors but it freezes up and doesn’t return the command prompt, plus I don’t see it listed on the map

It still cannot open the sdr.conf file, in bold (red)
