Hi Anrew,
I have paired my device(s) to my computer but I still can't see any rfcomm devices in /dev directory. I will try them both again today and see what happens!
BTW the same devices work flawlessly in my Windows 10 computers when I use APRSIS32 and they are recognised as Bluetooth devices not as Serial Devices by the OS.
So I can fo APRS using APRSIS32 just fine.
YACC on the other hand expects to see a COMport and each one of these devices create 2 COMports in Windows 10. No matter which one of the two I try to use, YACC cannot see this COMport.
After you have paired the radio with the Mint computer try running:
hcitool scan
which should show you the mac address of the controller in the radio. Next run:
sudo rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm1 <MAC_ADDR>Now you should be able to see rfcomm1 when you list the /dev directory. Use /dev/rfcomm1 in YAAC.
I don't have a D74 to test with with but this is the method used with the Mobilinkd TNC which is also Bluetooth.
