Oh, and for those following along at home... The command to transmit a test tone is...set a low power and unused freq. first stop ax25 in /home/pi/bin/ sudo ./ax25-stop then in

I mean I set the Analog Gain to 0db and the Digital gain to around 15db. That gave me a good tone through the HT.

I figured it was something obvious... I still need to tweak the settings, but this is definitely the problem area. So in my case I have to set the Audio to 0db and Digital to a high number.. I can

I'm out of ideas. Please talk to Bryan.

Basil, really! I checked every pin on both connectors while toggling the PTT

Make sure you are measuring the correct pin. Also disconnect the cable from your radio in case it's loading that signal. http://www.wa8lmf.net/6-Pin-MiniDin-Data-Connector/index.htm

Happy that your setup is working for you! Have some fun. /Basil n7nix TG9AOR <qrz@...> writes:

The 6th argument in the axports line is an arbitrary description and will not affect anything, except as a source of confusion. The thing to note is the way the scripts set up ax.25 packet is udr0

Mike, Replying to your last 2 posts Let's just focus on getting APRS working first which may also fix your wl2kax25 problem as well. The console output for wl2ktelnet you previously posted looks OK.

I am checking my configs do to a similar problem...(in a different thread) But in this thread I noticed that Dave Christensen had.. "ax25": { "port": "udr0", udr0 KD7UM-6

So doing some more testing...ran the mheard command and got a surprising result... Now some of these are APRS packets I am sure...but the first one is the station I am trying to reach with the

As far as the GPS goes...it is up and down all the time...I am in a non optimal location...

Basil, thank you for your response. I cycled the PWR slider: no change. I cycled the Output device on my audio tab, from plughw:CARD=udrc,DEV=0 Mono to default, and to Left on the drop down list box

BTW as I always I appreciate the info available...sometimes it is just out of my league... As far as APRS, thanks, I search on aprs.fi and it says doesn't exist in database. I still can't see that

What are you using to come to this conclusion? As root run listen -a to see what packets are being sent. Yet your beacon packet appears in aprs.fi as an APRS message beacon 2020-03-30 11:35:04 PDT:

I fear there are a few threads on this topic, but they are labeled random things. For the record. All transmit and receive in modes not using ax25 work just fine. ax25 reception/decoding works

So things to do to help triage the problem: * Keep a continuous eye on the temperature In a console window cd cd n7nix/debug watch ./pitemp.sh * Using pitemp.sh note the temperature at boot & after

Hmmm... and Pi was feeding the DRAWS card, not visa-versa... but that should not be causing the CPU to overheat! -Jack

Ya that was a little too dramatic. While your RPi is running much hotter than any of mine on the bench @ 69C it won't catch fire. It looks like the "official" operating limit is around 85C and will
