Hi, all. Included is the output from showudrc.sh. I was concerned that I had a problem with my image perhaps, but I own a second DRAWS, and it shows up just fine. Thanks for a great product, and for

I always recommend using a Radio’s internal sound card over any external interface. On my home rig I have a TM-V71 and an Alinco 235 connected to DRAWS doing packet. I’m moving to the IC-7300 for

I've had the 991A for about two years now, really like the radio. Frankly, the 991A was not top of mind for connecting to the Pi as I already have a battle-hardened digital setup in place for windows

True, but you also paid a lot for that radio to provide those extra USB interfaces, instead of some cheaper radio with only a data port (or even just speaker and mike jacks) and no built-in sound

Well Andrew, you might certainly make the case that I don't really need the DRAWS board at all for the 991A (although that's a really awful sales pitch to an owner of the radio I suppose, as an

In the Yaesu case, why do you need the DRAWS card (except possibly for GPS and power)? Just use the one USB link to the radio. Linux has generic USB sound and serial port drivers that should work

Hi folks - I've been gently steered away from trying to connect the DRAWS to my HT, so I'm looking now at connecting it up to my Yaesu FT-991A. I could use some experienced advice. I'm a bit confused

I’ll share this image, a metal case from amazon that I customized to accommodate the 2 mini-din and sma connector. Temperature sits around 55-60 with the fan which is using the accessory pins on

I share this image of a custom case which includes dual fans.. I also wired two AAA batteries to the clock backup. I used a gpio riser to make room between the PI and the DRAWS for heat syncs and a

I have two that are available for this, a Baofeng BF-F8HP and an ancient Icon IC-2AT, both of which I have hand mics for that can be sacrificed for their nice pre-molded cables. Charlie

And keeping the antenna as far away from the Pi as possible. Sometimes tricky using an HT.

There are two types of RFI to consider. RFI from the Pi + HAT, which are generally not a problem. Then there is RFI to the Pi. Some ham installations have lots of RF in the shack. This can lead

Which HT? Trying to make digital modes work on most (all ?) Chinese HT's is not recommended.

The two IP addresses are used by kissattach (see ax25-upd script). They can be changed after initial configuration in /etc/ax25/port.conf file. From ax25-upd script $SBINDIR/kissattach

Thanks Bryan - I'm running a Pi 3 B+ and right now just idling and running off of the buck booster on the DRAWS board, the temperature on the Pi is holding steady at 56° C. I have an email out to C4

Hi JP! Thanks! Your info should help a lot! I've got through the initial setup script. I have a question out there about the AX.25 addressing it asked for during the setup, but it looks as if this

Acrylic cases are suitable with a couple of caveats: Be mindful of Temperature rise, probably not suitable for Pi4 One customer had RFI issues and fixed them with a grounded metal plate on top of

Just askin'. Is an acrylic case suitable, or should the Pi and DRAWS be housed in a metal case to help prevent RFI? Charlie

Hi Mike - okay, so the next best question in that case would be "what *are* the defaults, why is it ok to use them - what are they for, and when will I need them?" Oh, that is definitely more than
