Bob I have been had more than once with the underscore. Depending on
what you view it with, printed or on a screen, it can disappear! I
found that the disappearing act is most vulnerable on a screen,
the cursor can hide it. There are some other, what I call nuances but an experienced
Linux programmer calls "notation conventions" in Basil's
instructions. I am not an experienced Linux programmer and if I
repeatedly try a command and get stumped, sometimes I trying
variations of the commands until I get it to work. Many times I
have to walk away and come back later. The red tilde is still a
mystery for me and if you print the instructions the red tilde
show up as a mere suggestion, it is really hard to see. I found some other anomalies in getting FLDIGI to work that are not shown in the instructions that I will try to get clarified by Basil but for now I have it running without issues but also not as the instructions tell you. I hate to burden the guy with "MY" concerns or problems when there are many guys wrestling with stopping direwolf and ax25 or just getting the image core verified. If you venture into fldigi and run into problems let me know I have some minor changes that worked for me. 73 K3JV Joe

Budd, If you have the GPS attached as a refclock, and it is active, it is actually a better time source than the Internet ntp servers.

Re: Unable to resolve hostname with RPi Draws
Use the program sudo raspi-config to set the hostname, and then reboot.

My experience with NTP service is that you need to keep it active. IfIt's a little confusing because the DRAWS image uses chronyd for the NTP service and NOT ntpd. So there are 3 situations: No gps antenna No Internet connection No gps antenna or Internet connection I have a script that dumps the world for chrony here: n7nix/gps/verify_time.sh It's also good to see how many satellites the gps is picking up with: gpsmon Usually if your clock is off by a lot & you are connected to the Internet you can kick it in the butt as root with: chronyc makestep /Basil Budd WB7FHC

Re: Unable to resolve hostname with RPi Draws
I think I screwed up during installation of draws beta 6. At one pointUsually get this symptom if you set the hostname then do not do a reboot. See instructions here: https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/udrc/wiki/DRAWS%3A-Getting-Started Note the "Now reboot your RPi" after you run ./app_config.sh core What do you get when you run: hostname if you do not get 'bobspi' then reboot & type: hostname again. when I enter commands in the terminal. I am not sure what problemsas root run: chronyc makestep Then send me the output of: cd n7nix/gps/verify_time.sh /Basil

My experience with NTP service is that you need to keep it active. If you
let it set the clock on the Rpi and then keep running without the internet
connection the time on the clock gets pretty far off quite quickly. Like one day
later it is way off.

Subject: Re: [udrc] Setting up auto time with draws
gps As has been discussed
previously. NTP services like chrony slowly adjust the system clock based
on information obtained from both ntp servers and refclocks (like the GPS and
PPS).
Basil has created a script
that verifies time at ~/n7nix/gps/verify_time.sh
The command line to do a quick
update of the clock is: sudo chronyc makestep
You can verify your clocks
with: chronyc sources -v
The battery backed RTC in the
GPS must be set by the GPS once it has acquired the time reference from the
satellites.
In my opinion, NTP time
synchronization works best if the computer is not powered down and the Raspberry
Pi is well suited to continuous operation at low power consumption. With
the computer running continuously the chrony daemon can keep the system clock
well synchronized whether using the GPS/PPS and/or network connections.
(It ignores sources that are not reporting or are way out of
sync.) On Wed, Dec 26, 2018, 16:16 Art - KC7SDA <nouse4anick@...

Unable to resolve hostname with RPi Draws
Bob Orrett <boborrett@...>
I think I screwed up during installation of draws beta 6. At one point I was asked for a hostname. So I made one up and entered "bobspi". Now I am often getting
"sudo: unable to resolve host bobspi" when I enter commands in the terminal. I am not sure what problems this may be causing but I have been unsuccessful at getting gpsd to set my system time after a reboot and this host name problem may be the cause. I dont know. Do I need to fix this? How do I fix this? Bob ve3obo, newbie to RPi and linux

Re: Link to DRAWS image not working?
Julie,
You may have gotten the wrong URL. I get a 404 error too. The URL I am using is udrc@nw-digital-radio.groups.io and I also prescribe to the message streams.I think that the beta6 image is on Git-hub but I haven’t taken the time to go out and look for it yet. It has been a busy day for me. I will get to it later this afternoon.Tom

So, in the majority of whatcom county, from my understanding almost everything is handled via fsq, I think a few other modes are used for transmitting data however I don't think ampr (44 net) is used as much (or at least i've not seen it in any discussions on the MT Baker digital group). also, the thing to keep in mind is that not everyone is going to use this board in the same way (I don't ever think i'm going to do an rms gateway or winlink on my setup), it might be a good idea to do groups for what people want to do (ie aprs with fldigi for example, or aprs with winlink and rms gateway and bbs)... this way people who want to only do a few things (like aprs and fldigi) don't have to wade through the more in depth/specialized options (ax.25/rms/winlink/etc) that they probably will never need or want

I'm assuming you did the chrony and gps install as described in the wiki?

Hi Ed,
We don’t know yet.
As an owner of one of those radios, I am trying to figure out if this is the case. You may or may not need something else. Hope to have some answers fairly soon. NW Digital does not have models of every radio to test, so our “user experience” will hopefully help them with the growing pains.
Don’t let our (early adopters) mumbling distract you. I will be the first to tell you that I could be way off base on my guesses. Probably am.

I have an older FT-450......and my DRAWS will arrive as part of the next batch......
Are you saying that I still need some additional equipment to go between the RPi and the radio along with the cable that goes from DRAWS to the radio?
Ed Bloom, KR9FRQ Sent from Webmail access
-----Original Message----- Hi Jack, the ft-450D is the new version and it has the same issues of being over driven. Tigertronics used to have you put a resistor inside the signal link box to cure it on the audio out line. But they no-longer have that mod on their website. Folks were ruining the socket inside. I have one Signal Link that I have soldered the mod inside it, as over many years or reconfiguring for different radios with resistor and wire jumpers, I ruined the socket. Now I have 2 signal links and 2 Yaesu SCU17s which add CAT control lines as well.
