this is incredible, THank you so much!!!! this is helping so many new hams! and we are all deeply in debted to you my friend!! thanks again for the great work!
An alternative to reopening the terminal window after editing your .bashrc file is to use the source command: source ~/.bashrc (or .~/.bashrc). It re-runs the file and updates your terminal with the new information.
This is great stuff, thanks a bunch! I also have a problem with running findardop when I execute in terminal I get the message "Failed to execute child process "xterm" (No such file or directory) . What have I stuffed up?
One work around that I found for the flashing text in the terminal window when starting Dire Wolf is to use this command line option "-t 0" so the full command to start Dire Wolf looks like this: direwolf -t 0 -p Then follow with the kissattach command as described.
I used your set up for the SD card on my Pi 3, but now that I have an FT-891 to use, is it possible to install the Yaesu drivers since the Pi's card is already configured/written? Thanks
No need to install drivers for the 891. Everything you need is already in the OS :-) I would recommend upgrading to Bullseye if you haven't already and then using Build a Pi to install the apps you like. github.com/km4ack/pi-build
If you don't use a signal link can you use one of the USB audio dongles? With the same steps? I haven't received my pi yet but I am following along to build mine when I get everything and my 891
I am coming to this 3 yrs down the road. I had installed Build-a-Pi successfully except I could never get flrig to connect to the IC7100. So rebuilt the pi and just installed the flrig as per this video. Still cannot connect. Apparently there needs to be a Silicon Labs CP210x USB driver available in order to connect this radio and the pi and is not part of the options when configuring the radio. Is there a way to install this driver to Linux? I was under the impression that when you install the flrig, all these Linux drivers came ready made. Thx for any input. -73 K3PED
So I'm wanting to put a Pi in a pelican case should I run headless or use a 7in display too? Maybe both ? I have an AN/PRC-104 that I would like to run the digital modes. Hmm I wonder if there is ALE link software for the Pi and Linux too. I ordered a Pi 4 for this project.
Really enjoying this series.... excellent. I am having an issue however. When I run 'findardop', I get errors. for example in he script there are lines to download a list of ARDOP stations : pat rmslist --mode ardop --force-download >> $FILE pat rmslist --band 80m --mode ardop --force-download >> $EIGHTY pat rmslist --band 40m --mode ardop --force-download >> $FORTY pat rmslist --band 20m --mode ardop --force-download >> $TWENTY pat rmslist --band 30m --mode ardop --force-download >> $THIRTY which when run gives the following errors: 2020/01/12 20:11:53 Unable to load/write config: unexpected end of JSON input 2020/01/12 20:11:53 Unable to load/write config: unexpected end of JSON input 2020/01/12 20:11:53 Unable to load/write config: unexpected end of JSON input 2020/01/12 20:11:53 Unable to load/write config: unexpected end of JSON input 2020/01/12 20:11:53 Unable to load/write config: unexpected end of JSON input the files are created, but only contain 1 line of date created but no station listings. anybody got any ideas? thx.
That sounds like you pat configure file is corrupt or bad syntax. Run “sudo killall pat” and then “pat http” to see if pat will start. If not, you will need to fix that issue before findardop will run correctly. 73, de KM4ACK
You da man! I must have borked up something while defining rig control or setting up direwolf. I wiped the config, started it over working great now. Thanks!
When logging in to the PI from my Windows 10 computer via VNC viewer, I get a "Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory)" when i try to execute anything on the PI from VNC but don't get it when I am direct in the PI with a keyboard and mouse..
Everything worked great until winlink, kept timing out. But I don’t even know what this all for anyway, I guess it helped with commands since I just got into this pi stuff.
I was trying to connect GPS GLONASS (Model : ESG-GPSGLNS-01, Frequency 1575-1602 MGhz, Voltage 3.0-5.0 V) with raspberry pi 3B+ board but no port was detected and not working. I followed all other instructions and everything installed perfectly. I just stuck in GPS. Please help with some solution. 73 de VU3WTJ
Sorry. I am not familiar with that GPS. This is the one I use amzn.to/2q02bue You might try posting you question on this forum groups.io/g/RaspberryPi-4-HamRadio/topics 73, de KM4ACK
You've done a great service to the ham community with these videos.
Thanks Ed! 73, de KM4ACK

Whattttt there’s already a part 2?! Loving it man, keep it up!
Yep. And part 3 is almost ready :-) 73, de KM4ACK

great help vids...what are you using for logging?
This is great stuff, thanks a bunch! I also have a problem with running findardop when I execute in terminal I get the message "Failed to execute child process "xterm" (No such file or directory) . What have I stuffed up?
See this post for the fix github.com/km4ack/pi-build/issues/34
Great Job Again ! Thank you ! I'm assuming all the steps are the same on Pi3, not just the newest Pi4. 73!
Should work equally as well on the Pi 3 as long as you are running Buster. 73, de KM4ACK
One work around that I found for the flashing text in the terminal window when starting Dire Wolf is to use this command line option "-t 0" so the full command to start Dire Wolf looks like this:
direwolf -t 0 -p
Then follow with the kissattach command as described.
Yes. That will start direwolf in black and white mode. 73, de KM4ACK

The PTT will be different unless it has a VOX circuit. You will either use VOX on the radio (not recommended) or PTT via the cat cable. 73, de KM4ACK
PTT via CAT works perfectly on the 891. No Signalink is needed.

No. You can skip Winlink if you don't plan on using it. 73, de KM4ACK

Just started this project, When I get to the bashrc part my bachrc file is empty but added the lines and it didn't work.
got it figured out...must have been a typo..i have my glasses on now...ha

can you help me find out how to get it to work on a ALINCO DX-77T
I don't own that rig so I can't test. Try posting your question on this forum groups.io/g/RaspberryPi-4-HamRadio/topics 73, de KM4ACK
@@KM4ACK thank you I will and thank you for all you have provided it is helping me also
