Trouble connecting to APRS2 using direwolf.conf & HT on Rpi 3, decodes beacons well though....
|
Hello,
Last year I built an iGate using an RTL-SDR.com dongle. It stopped working a little while ago when I ran a Linux update, so I decided to start over using an Rpi 3A, a Sabrent soundcard and an old Alinco DJ-190 HT as the radio (with the intent of making it a digipeater in the future).
?
I have Direwolf running, the radio works well, and I am decoding many more beacons than the SDR did, however the initial screen for Direwolf does not have a login to the APRS2 server after the "KISS TCP client" line.
?
According to the pdfs everything is configured correctly, HOWEVER everything I can reference on the interwebs is in reference to using an SDR for the iGate, and therefore using sdr.conf to configure it. I do also have my login details in this config file, but this seems to not help. It is my understanding that for use with a radio and soundcard I should use the direwolf.conf file, which has more options.
?
Thank you for any input,
KK7BCO |

Robert,
The conf looks correct. I am able to ping the server, but not able to log into it using telnet from the terminal. I have double checked my pass code also.

Hi all,
The line wrap was just how it copied here, there is no line wrap in the conf file.
?
I added the SSID to the IGLOGIN, though I did not see any mention of adding the SSID in this manner. I have not added it to my call in this field because the pass code is for the call without SSID...
?
This change has made no difference.
?
I am able to ping from the Terminal successfully.
?
Launching DireWolf from the terminal generates a log that reflects exactly what the app displays, with no additional errors. Even with increased verbosity.

Rob, I have now tried both versions, with IGLOGIN-10 and IGLOGIN... No difference even if the former is wrong. As stated, running DireWolf from thecommand line generates a log which reflects the main app window, with no additional information. I still have no idea why I can ping the server, but am unable to log into it though DireWolf or running Telnet in Terminal. 73 Tobias Feltus Polymath (but incapable of simple arithmetic) |

Rob, thank you for the detail. I have made these changes to the conf file, and shall let it stew (have to run to work. And by run, I mean ride my bicycle)... It is decoding, but I don't believe it has connected to the server yet. I se W7MOT-3 is always the first station I decode, which looks like a club station. Anyhow, I shall report back. 73 Tobias Feltus Polymath (but incapable of simple arithmetic) |

Rob, et all.
?
Confusion continues.
?
On page 112 of the pdf manual for DireWolf, the coordinate formatting is shown to be valid in a multitude of manners, including the negative value. No mention of a maximum character number.??
?
So, I started with a new Conf file (made a copy, copied/pasted content from the Github) and went through making the minimum necessary changes, and replaced the PBEACON with exactly what Rob suggests. Still no update on Aprs.fi, and still good copy/decode within DireWolf console.
?
I had launched direwolf with the -di, but I am unable to find a log file.
?
Should I try just making a conf file that only has the needed lines? Is it possible that DireWolf is pulling poor settings from elsewhere?
?

1. See below. There was some odd stuff on the github text which I commended out, some beaconing at the very bottom.
2. Confusing... From Terminal if I type "direwolf -di" the Direwolf application launches in the Terminal window. Is there another entity which is called Console which I have never noticed before? No error messages are displayed in the Terminal/direwolf thing that I see.

The Terminal window goes from black background Terminal goodness to white background Direwolf. Splash text appears?ending with the KISS TCP on 8001... Then it shows decoded APRS messages as they come in. On Mon, 28 Oct 2024 at 21:33, WB2OSZ via <wb2osz=[email protected]> wrote:
