cd n7nix
git pull

./bin_refresh.sh

This is exactly right. This will get almost all of the contents of the
latest image. I try to keep everything updated via scripts. If you are using
some of the HF programs you should also do:

cd
cd n7nix/hfprogs
./hf_verchk.sh

# To do the actual update add a -u
./hf_verchk.sh -u

# For the NWDR18 image at this time everything is current.

cd hfprogs/
./hf_verchk.sh

js8call: current version: 2.2.0, installed: 2.2.0
wsjtx: current version: 2.2.2, installed: 2.2.2
Library: libflxmlrpc IS loaded.
flxmlrpc: current version: 0.1.4, installed: 0.1.4
fldigi: current version: 4.1.17, installed: 4.1.17
flrig: current version: 1.3.53, installed: 1.3.53
flmsg: current version: 4.0.17, installed: 4.0.17
flamp: current version: 2.2.05, installed: 2.2.05
fllog: current version: 1.2.6, installed: 1.2.6

Everything that makes sense to get from the Debian/Raspberry Pi OS
repositories I do. For most of the HAM programs I try to use their own
repositories since they are generally not maintained in the Debian repo any
way.

My image started out as NWDR16

I have been using the commands below after each release announcement.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
cd
cd n7nix
git pull
cd config
./bin_refresh.sh

After running these commands I am running the equivalent of the NWDR
released software?

Just want to be sure that I am doing it right.

Thanks,
Daniel VE3NI

I won't discourage someone from installing the latest version of some
tool but a lot of time has gone into making sure that what is on the
image actually works. I don't have time to support anything other than
what is on the image. Perhaps someone else on the forum can help.

To be clear many/most of the HAM apps on the image are the latest
version and there are scripts on the image to keep them that way.
I used to use the latest version of nodejs, been down that road and
currently don't want or need to do that.

You should confirm that your image started out as NWDR18:

head -n1 /var/log/udr_install.log

2020 12 04 13:45:55 PST: SD image version: nwdr18

Also:

aplay -l
showudrc.sh

Did you follow the getting started guide?
