Basil,

Thank you. I do not know enough about networking to know I could actually do that.

Why don't you use some non-routable address from 192.168.0.0 address

Do you have any suggestions on the IP Address for PAT with the DRAWS.

When I enter 0.0.0.0 I get an error when starting PAT (address already
in use).

When I enter 0.0.0.0:8080 in the browser, I am given the DRAWS Manager
web interface page when 0.0.0.0 is used in the config.

The same results are received when I use localhost in the config
(address already in use and same web page).

I am connected directly to the Pi as I would be in the field (upcoming
exercise).

Scott,

Thank you. That is what I was going to do next. But was not 100% sure. So I stopped and asked the question.

Networking is not my IT strong suit. I am an application programmer generally speaking.

My next thing to learn is how to create a desktop icon to run pat http.?? I also need to double check the ARDOP install.?? It is included in the DRAWS package but I an not sure if it is fully setup and available to PAT.

I will need to watch your video again to look at the connections to radio. I will using an FT-897.

Re: Setting Up #PAT with the #draws #pat

DRAWS™ Manager does not need to run all of the time.  It is a setup tool, then you can shut it down. 

sudo systemctl stop draws-manager

and to prevent it starting up on next reboot

sudo systemctl disable draws-manager

Or you can move it to a different port, as documented here

# If you want to set the port, edit /etc/default/draws-manager and add a line with the port number, e.g. PORT=80 (it defaults to 8080) 

And restart.
 
sudo systemctl restart draws-manager

Re: DRAWS and Allstar?

John D Hays - K7VE
 

DRAWS™ CODEC is available under ALSA (and pulseaudio), anyone who wants to try this should look at chan_alsa and app_rpt 

Can app_rpt do PTT and SQUELCH DETECT using Raspberry Pi GPIO pins?

On Tue, Jun 4, 2019 at 9:25 AM Steve KC1AWV <smiller@...> wrote:
So, I've given this some more thought. you could probably do this through chan_alsa, chan_oss, or chan_usrp depending on how DRAWS configures its sound card.

Easiest would be GNU Radio USRP, the set up would be similar to that as DVSwitch.

The issue I see is not with the Allstar distribution, but rather getting DRAWS to show up as a compatible device for app_rpt.

Agreed.  This is essentially what I was asking.

In the same location, my ID-51p2 takes significantly longer.

If the antenna has a good view of the sky, the first startup can take a while. 

You can also restart the gpsd

sudo systemctl stop gpsd
sudo systemctl start gpsd

You can also stop gpsd and.
