Time for an update. I tried every combination on wsjtx for PTT on my Yeasue FT-847. No joy. So I went to rigctl direct. when I just use command uppercase T, the 847 beeps twice and the led display

Chuck -- how long do you leave cgps or gpsmon running (in case of loss of satellite data and the GPS is cold starting)? -- John D. Hays Edmonds, WA K7VE

Thanks John! Private reply sent with three attachments. 73, Chuck

Hi Chuck, If can boot up on the 12.2V supply. Open a terminal, and run bin/showudrc.sh and capture the output and forward it, this will provide some diagnostics for the team to look at. If it turns

I am having two issues with my new DRAWS hat (an early adopter version recently received, early April). The RaspPi boots normally when I power it via the DRAWS hat using a 12.2 VDC source, but when I

The GPS receiver has an auto switch Bias TEE for an external Antenna/LNA. They’re in stock if you want tp buy one. Go to the shop page on the website. Bryan K7UDR

John and John, Thank you for getting back to me. No I havea not had a chance to chase this down. My shack build is taking up alot of time. Im buiilding the shack in a RV Toyhauler that is why the Draw

I believe its just not keying the PTT. Im only using the data 6pin mDin. If i add a cat ctl cable it should fix my problems. i thought i could just use the data cable, but thats to much configuring

OK, I am starting to understand it. Sorry, i am new to HAM and very new to the whole digital side of things. Its a learning curve and I am taking it on head first. hah Thanks John for the help and

Did you use DRAWS™ Manager to set up the ports? Is it keying? Are you getting audio out? What are the symptoms and configuration settings?

No, an antenna is required, via the SMA connector.

Is there an on-board GPS antenna, or is an external antenna necessary?

If the program doesn't provide GPIO keying, then you have to use CAT or maybe VOX keying. (Fldigi and direwolf are examples of programs with GPIO PTT keying)

I only have the 6pmDIN connected from the DRAWS to the data port on the radio. Do i need a cat control cable also??

AX.25 is working with YAAC. I am able to send and recieve packets. But when i try digital modes, WSJTX and FlDigi, i can only recieve. I did stop AX.25 and still nothing. Any ideas on things i can

Are you selecting CAT for PTT, then activating hamlib to perform CAT? Except in fldigi where you can select GPIO for PTT. Don't let Linux throw you, the applications perform the functions regardless

I'm having the same issue, all-though,i am running an FT-857d. I am fairly new to linux and all, byt i have a good understanding. Have you figured anything out yet?? Justin

I have my draws working with direwolf using left port and aprs. I next wanted to try FT-8 with the same radio the FT-847. I did get some receive data decoded but have yet to be able to get the PTT to

Bryan, Thanks for letting me know that the cases are available for order. I just placed my early-adopter order for one! -Dave W3DJS

Hi Jack, Early Adopter Aluminum Cases are open for order until the end of April. They are $15. Estimated ship date is late May at this time. Bryan K7UDR
