Basil,

Start from a clean install.
# I started from scratch new, clean install and new out of the box Draws Hat

Editing any configuration files is
discouraged until you can confirm things are working. In your case
/etc/ax25/axports file has been manually edited and is misconfigured.

The /etc/direwolf.conf file may also be manually edited and misconfigured.
# No editing has been done to any files 

1. Check cable to radio. Is it a custom cable? In your case you should
be using the left hand mDin6 connector.

# I used the pin outs for the mini DIN 6 connector from this file https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/udrc/files/DRAWSTech.pdf 

I wired my IC-F521 DB9 ACC input using the pinout above and I do recall the pin layout didn' match and that was my rookie mistake not investigating that!

However this seems like where I might have gone wrong, not  having any "HAM" experience my commercial radios don't use mini DIN connectors, so I checked online and found this:


Please confirm the later is correct.

2. Radio turned on?
-When running scripts btest.sh or measure_deviate.sh
# Of Course, But I understand the question

3. Does you radio indicate that it transmits when running either of the
above scripts?
#NO! it does however TX/RX when I use the mic input which I removed during testing

4. Does the transmit led next to the mDin6 connector on the DRAWS card
come on when running either of the above scripts?
#NO!

5. Tune an HT to the same frequency used by your radio attached to the
DRAWS card. When running the measure_deviate.sh script can you hear a
tone?
#HT?? can you use generic terminology and elaborate, I have not run Measure_deviate.sh

Either start from a fresh install (recommended) or fix your /etc/ax25/axports file.

Mar 19 19:38:04 ASAwizard bash[564]: kissparms: invalid port name - udr1
# I have a fresh install see below

You said that you did not see any console output from the listen command
yet your direwolf log file sees your beacon test output:

Mar 21 15:08:12 ASAwizard direwolf[479]: [0L]KO4BCZ-11>APUDR1,WIDE1-1::KO4BCZ :21 15:08:11 EDT KO4BCZ mesg_beacon test from host ASAwizard on udr0 Seq: 21

This indicates some ax.25 misconfiguration. Note that if you just follow
the "Getting Started" guide you should NOT have to edit any
configuration files
# with my fresh install i did see out with listen -at
#What indicates ax.25 is mis-configured in the lines above? 
# I did NOT and Have Not edited any config files;
#see my outputs from the fresh install:
