Basil, thank you very much for your reply. I will try with XASTIR. I was not successful with APRSICE32. 73 de TG9AOR

The problem with Xastir accessing gpsd for position data has been identified and a patch has been tested and merged into the Xastir master source on GitHUB. Thanks to Tom Russo of the Xastir team and

Yes. I will probably spin up yet another image to accommodate the new Xastir build. Previously Xastir was installed from a Debian package. It is clear that besides fixing a problem with parsing the

Will the DRAWS image be updated with the working version of Xastir? What must one do to update the version currently running on DRAWS? Thanks for your (rapid) research and help! Edd - KD5M

Did some more testing and here are my results. See below for an individual response to the very helpful suggestions that have come in so far. I have not been able to get any messages out via FT8 on

Good research and hopefully the fix proves solid over time. -- John D. Hays Edmonds, WA K7VE

Update from testing a fix provided by Tom Russo. The code change for Xastir provided in Tom's "feature-supportglonass" branch appears to fix the problem of DRAWS gps not working in Xastir. I am

<Quoting:Corky Searls --- Steve, pulling pin 6 is a requirement for any Yaesu radio as the radio treats this as an input and will do nothing.> FYI I got my FT-891 working months ago in the first

Disable other programs using the pin (direwolf, wsjtx, ...) Left PTT -- toggle will switch state from off to on or on to off gpio -g toggle 12 Right PTT -- toggle will switch state from off to on or

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "manually key the PTT." With ICOM rigs if you short the PTT line to ground it will put the radio in transmit mode. This can be done either on the MIC connector

Can anybody tell me how to manually KEY the PTT line? Todd

Tom, Thanks for the response. I will try the things you mentioned & get back to you. gpsd version 3.18.1 is the latest version and I made the decision to use it back in December. It fixed a couple of

What do you mean by "Ambient Shack Noise"? From this end it indicates that it is picking up from a microphone, which the DRAWS™ HAT does not have. Check August's suggestion. You could also see if

You need to change the setting in the Radio that tells it to use the Data connector for transmit audio, instead of from the Microphone. You want MODE = DAT(a) instead of MODE = SSB. August KG7BZ

Input and output set to plughw:CARD=udrc,DEV=0. Audio Channel set to left. Pin 6 Removed. Decode continues to work. Transmit continues to NOT work. Transmit continues to transmit ambient shack noise

Xastir & gpsd version 3.18.1 do NOT work. Xastir never reports that the DRAWS gps is working when using Networked GPS (via gpsd). I killed gpsd & tried the DRAWS serial interface to the gps & that

I guess the bigger question is this issue affecting everybody with a DRAWS hat and beta 11or is it just us lucky select few. If submitted the issue to the xastir community. I still have the zip for

Josh, I'm in the same boat here. New Beta 11 image. Ran through all the config stuff. Double checked that GPSD and Xastir are current. Still no luck. Confirmed good data from the GPS, and YAAC

This should be your audio setting in wsjtx-- John D. Hays Edmonds, WA K7VE

Steve, pulling pin 6 is a requirement for any Yaesu radio as the radio treats this as an input and will do nothing. -Corky -- Thanks and 73,-Craig, AF4PM
