Mark, I hooked up the IC-7000 to the DRAWS today and tested the system for ax25 packet with Direwolf. I am using the radio on the right-hand miniDIN connector with the setalsa-ic7000.sh settings, whic

#aprs #ax25 #direwolf

Just finished a fresh install of nwdr17. Using the default ALSA settings, did not run any setalsa- script (ADC Level L:[0.00dB]), I was able to receive APRS packets on 2M using the mDin6 cable to the

I just did a verification using 2M (144.390) APRS on my IC-706MkIIG. I used both the 13 pin Aux socket & 6 pin miniDin socket connected to the left mDin6 connector on the DRAWS hat. I was able to rece

Basil (n7nix): Thanks again for your reply. I am definitely using alsa-show.sh to confirm the settings as I make changes, both with alsamixer as well as with the DRAWS Manager. Here's the current capt

Looking at Basil's response, I think he found the problem. With the IC-7000 the audio is very sensitive, but the HF and VHF paths are very different. The gain setting for HF will likely not provide su

Basil (n7nix): Thanks for your advice. I believe that I understand all of your instructions & have executed them as directed, but APRS RX is still not working. I did find that I could make quicker mod

#aprs #ax25 #direwolf

First thanks for all the console output. This could be your problem since that script tries to set up deviation for the HF radio. You need to set deviation for the VHF/UHF radio in the IC-7000. I woul

#aprs #ax25 #direwolf

Mark, yes the script is set up for IN2 as the primary use for the IC-7000 was for HF. It has been a while since I used it for VHF with the DRAWS and I have not tried the latest image. Not sure I will

Corky (AF4PM): Thanks for your reply. I did try combinations of turning 9600 on/off on the radio, along with setting pin 4(DESC) / pin 5(AF) in DRAWS manager, all with no detectable difference in deco

#aprs #ax25 #direwolf

Mark, a quick question regarding the IC-7000 config. Do you have this set for 1200 baud or 9K6? You will need to make sure that you are listening to the correct pin on the mini-din connector. I believ

I finally found some time to play with my new DRAWS (attached to RPi3B+, running current image dated 2020-Aug-22), but I've run into a roadbock. To start, I followed <https://nw-digital-radio.groups.i
