Re: Testing AX.25
#draws
Here, specifically is what I'm getting while following the "Testing AX.25" section of the "Verifying" step of Getting Started. I don't understand why these commands are not giving any response. Is the output of mheard different from the tail command for direwolf? The stuff up at the top is the output of the tail command.
Apr 13 16:37:12 ke7rgpi direwolf[325]: Digipeater MISION audio level = 11(12/6) [NONE] ::|||||:_ pi@ke7rgpi:~ $ ax25-status pi@ke7rgpi:~ $ netstat --ax25 pi@ke7rgpi:~ $ mheard pi@ke7rgpi:~ $

Testing AX.25

I made it through the verification process and everything worked as expected except for the AX.25 tests.
ax25-status command gave the expected output but netstat --ax25 did not populate any sockets and mheard did not populate any calls. Direwolf is receiving according to tail -f command and is transmitting test beacons. Just wondering what if anything this means or if it is a concern. Lol, my first position beacon put me in the San Juan Islands... I wish! I fixed that. TIA, David, KE7RGP

I messed up the file name. The extension should be .pcap (tcpdump
formats the file appropriately for Wireshark to digest)

Re: 'sudo apt-get upgrade' possible?
I would hold off, the latest release has been out less than a week. On the other hand, if you have second SD card of the same form factor, you can make a backup of your current system using the utility in the menu system.

Hi,
The last time I did a 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade', I bricked my system so had to re-do the overall setup. I would like to update my system, but I do not want to re-setup eerything again. Is it currently ok to update the system? 73 de Christof

Re: DRAWS + FT-891 + WSJT-X/FT8
Yep… good contact and you went “automagically” into my HRD logbook here. Not too shabby. There was a lot of nearby traffic so I was afraid it wouldn’t go through. Enjoy the DRAWS hat… I have two here, one of the initial early experience release units and one I received about a week ago. The older one is in dedicated Xastir service as my digi/gateway (kd4iz-3), so the new one is going to be used for all my portable unit experimentation. My side of contact was made with the IC-7300 @80W and a GAP Titan vertical dipole. Terminal was my Windoze workstation… this time – no DRAWS (sigh).

I was looking at the menus last night and it was getting too late for me to spend much time on it.
That's great info you got form Yaesu, i was thinking of doing the same today. Maybe you get to figure out the right filter settings for the rest of us now too 73 ;)

Re: DRAWS + FT-891 + WSJT-X/FT8
Yes that definitely looks like a narrow filter on the 'data' setting. The calculation (which is also built into DRAWS™ Manager - http://localhost:8080 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5C3cWVVz_A ) is for the transmitter side of things and has nothing to do with your received audio. In DRAWS™ Manager -- use the Input from Receiver "Analog Gain" control. Actually this is usually very tolerant, and since you get lots of signals on USB, it is probably fine -- again, this looks like a filter problem.

Steve,
Looks like you have a very narrow filter width defined in the radio? Can you open that up?

From: main@nw-digital-radio.groups.io <main@nw-digital-radio.groups.io> On Behalf Of Steve McGrane
Alright, making progress left and right today.
Turns out my input audio levels are too low. I get to decode some signals, but not all of what is out there. I'm currently getting about 2 or 3 signals per cycle.
I followed the steps in Brian's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxWiDYMcRn4) where he uses alsamixer to set levels. LO is at -6.0 and PCM is at -11 and that is where my ALC starts to move.
The signals coming in are not great and my waterfall looks like its been truncated:
I called Yaesu tech support and they actually didn't have a reference for this input (-1 for Yaesu!). But they told me no more than .5 volt and the recommended setting is 100mV
Using Brian's spreadsheet I get
for .5 volts I get -3 for .1 volts I get -17
Neither of them improve the results or the waterfall.
For reference when I have the rig set to "USB" this is what the waterfall looks like and I get lots of signals in:

Dave,

A short answer to your question. In your case with the ICOM products you are %100 correct in that most of the things you want to do are embedded in the radio. However, you are limiting yourself in many other opportunities. The DRAWS hat provides you with two interfaces to work with along with a much more capable CODEC for a stunning variety of other applications and modes. It is an experimentation environment ripe for you to go and expand your horizons. Hope this helps... 73 de Steve, N9VW

Re: DRAWS + FT-891 + WSJT-X/FT8
Steve McGrane <temporarilyoffline@...>
So that is really interesting. On my working setup I made a few contacts on 40m last night. This setup uses the radio in USB mode, not Data/Pkt. When I switch DRAWS to Data/Pkt I am able to transmit and my signals are heard, but I no longer can decode any signals. So I can have one, but not the other. Still stumped, but maybe that is some progress in there? Purple is from 40m on the working setup from last night, Yellow is from today on the DRAWS on 20m. No receive on DRAWS

To add some context to my comment - i've got a huge amount of interference around my home so just getting anything workable is a near miracle for me. I need to understand the signal processing options of the DRAWs better but just using FT8 and i was doing the same with WSPR, i'm getting what i consider to be successful transmission (but my bar is low, no doubt ;) )
