Re: Enclosure
We have case samples coming for internal verification and hope to have those for display at Hamcation in Orlando next month. If they meet our expectations, we will process our bulk order and will announce an expected delivery date once we know scheduling. As to power connectors. As individuals, we have them in our personal shacks. We don't hate them, but from an engineering perspective they are not the best choice and are bulky to put into a device or case. The case is designed to have a barrel style power jack, and matching Anderson pole to barrel connector power leads are readily available at reasonable prices.

Les at Ham Made Parts is Great! I can also personally recommend him and his cable products.
I have several for various radios to the Pi-TNC and Mobilinked TNC.

Brian, I have your case here and ready to go. I ordered the print with 25% fill at 0.02 in black. Total cost was $27.97 US.
I noted a few things that seem to have changed since the original listing: The micro SD slot has been resized and the card is accessible once everything is assembled. The end screw holes remain but the second pair and third pair have been removed from the cover. I found that the M2.5 hardware that I had on hand was too small and had to order M3 hardware for the upcoming assembly. I’ll include the specifics once I receive the DRAWS and get it assembled and photographed. And, as an FYI, your case is being used for an off-grid concept project for FEMA MA-TF1.

Speaking of which, someone ordered my case design to be printed. I will happily provide support for anyone who prints it or has it printed. It is a beta design at this point and any feedback is appreciated. Brian N0KZ

Re: Enclosure
IMHO - I agree. In today’s world power poles might or might not be all that useful of a ‘standard’ for 12V systems but it is a wide spread and practical convention for Amateur use. Cheers, …dan wl7coo

Unlikely. NWDR is on record as HATING Powerpoles.

Andy, did any of the dimensioned drawings have Powerpole connectors?
I think Brian N0KZ did an exceptional job engineering the Powerpole connectors into the RPi3 DRAWS Case. As soon as my DRAWS is delivered, I’ll install it in Brian’s case and upload the pictures. I am hoping that there is sufficient interest in Powerpole connections for the portable and EMCOMM end user and that it becomes a NW Digital Radio case option.

Basil,
Thank you for working on this. I will get the results for you when I get home from work.
journalctl -u ax25dev.service > journalctl.log
head -n 20 /etc/ax25/ax25-upd > head.log
As to your question "What did I enter for :
"If you do not understand or care about the following just hit enter for default values"
"Enter ip address for AX.25 interface ax0 followed by [enter]"
I just pressed enter with no values provided. If I should have entered a value, I respectfully request an update to
the Get Started with a "recommended value" if this is the cause of my system issue.

Re: #Kenwood TS-440S
#js8call

Bryan & John - I have searched the Kenwood documentation and can't find a spec for the Data Input line on the 13 DIN connector. That said I have found a mod that changes where the Data Input ties into the transmit audio chain. This is a known issue on the TS-440s. I have a Signalink USB that I use with the TS-440s and I have to run the TX gain on the Signalink and the MIC gain on the TS-440S at maximum to get about 25 watts out on FT8 running at 1,000 HZ. So , it is not a short coming of the DRAWS card. The Issue: The issue is that the Data Input on pin 11 of the 13 PIN, Accessory 2 connection does not go into the mic preamp of the TS440s. The mic gain does still control the overall input level but without the preamp is appears the drive level needs to be 5 volts peak to peak or more. The Mod / Fix: Here is the link to a mod: https://www.qsl.net/9a3og/kenwoodts440.html These is a AFSK Input RCA pin plug jack on the back of the TS-440S. This input does pass through the mic preamp. This mode moves the connection from the RCA jack to Pin 11 of the 13 pin DIN. I have not done this mod yet but have reason to believe this will resolve the drive level issue. 73 Mike - KB0FX
