Hi Basil, Well, I finally got a chance to do a "multiswap" to see what hardware is working and what is not with this DRAWS system. Previously determined that the GPS antenna we have discussed was bad

Basil, The saga continues. It also turns out that the original GPS/LNA antenna had gone bad along with the Pi3B+. It was working before the RPi started into the overheating problem. So what ever start

Hi Basil, Good news/bad news story: DRAWS hat appears to be OK, the Pi3B+ is a sick puppy. Silver lining: discovered just how fast everything DRAWS seems to respond with a Pi4. That may be the replace

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

Ok.... now, I did not notice that set of TEMP lines in the output because I was so focused on the sound device/ALSA and GPS lines. I have heatsinks on the Pi. I have not heard that lack of ventilation

Hi Basil, Just when I thought everything was pretty stable, I started to get protests from xastir that my GPS wasn't behaving. Dropped out of xastir and ran gpsmon only receive a blank stare... Unfort

Very Good. Was able to install what I needed. That fixed it. Not sure what I did to cause the file corruption, but dpkg behaves itself now. Back to "prime time". Much obliged.

OK... that seemed to do something: Console output: pi@kd4izdraws2:~ $ dpkg -l "rpi-eeprom*" Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWa

Ran the commands and here is the console output: pi@kd4izdraws2:~ $ sudo su root@kd4izdraws2:/home/pi# dpkg -l "rpi-eeprom" Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpac

Basil... Will do as you suggest momentarily. Sorry for the confusion. I am not running synaptic because it never was successfully installed. I have been strictly using the apt-get commands you suggest

Hi Basil, I ran your script sequence from the previous note- sudo su apt-get update apt-get install --fix-missing apt-get dist-upgrade As requested, here is the console output from that session: pi@kd

Thanks Basil, It worked. But when I went to wrap things up for my style of operating with raspbian LINUX, I tried to install synaptic and xscreensaver. Both attempts started by retrieving and failed a

Did not exactly follow that but did "some". My error was "xastir: error while loading shared libraries: libgeotiff.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" so I'll back up unle

I have a 2nd DRAWS unit I use for porta/mobile activities and an SD card that already has the “virgin” image on it. I will give it a try this afternoon and record the results. More to come. Best

Basil, All, Did I miss a posting about this? Had trouble getting XASTIR to load following the install and configure checklist/instructions in the group Wiki. I finally got a chance (well, was forced b

Basil, Thanks for refreshing my memory with the link below – it had been a good while and my focus has been significantly elsewhere since before Dayton/Xenia last year: In a previous post it was menti

Dave, Basil, All, Apologies, I probably should have retitled this message to call out the problem with the IC-7000. I do not want to hi-jack the original thread, but it is worth continuing the HF elem

Jim, Basil and John, All, I would like to hear that explained as well. I started with John's approach early after DRAWS became available, then switched over to Basil's install script with the AX25 int

Rick, Just a personal opinion: For fldigi, getting a CT-62 or a "USB type" clone and using flrig makes sense. Gives you full CAT control of the FT-817 from inside all of the programs that will talk to

Tim, I do this all the time. You should not need to touch your ALSAmixer sound settings. You do need to go back to the “Getting Started Wiki” at Groups.io and carefully work through the section on usi
