Team - If you want to do a clean install of BETA9 you will need to edit app_config.sh depending on what you want to install. If you are doing a clean install and following the WiKi Getting Started ins

Basil, Trying to do a clean install of the Beta9 image. It appears the app_config.sh core script has been changed such that it does an install of rmsgw. This in turn breaks the ax25-start script. I ne

Bryan & John - I just realized it would be much simpler for me to use the AFSK input and output RCA jacks to the TS-440s to verify the DRAWS card will be able to drive the transmitter before tearing i

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

Team - The DRAWS TI DAC does not have enough audio output to drive the Kenwood TS-440S Data Input connection which is on pin 11 of the 13 pin DIN connector on the back of the radio. This is not a issu

Hi, The Pi 3 starts posting under voltage warnings when ever the voltage gets much below 5 volts. I did a quick test running the Pi 3 and DRAWS Pi-Hat on my big 5 volt battery and see that the steady

Chris, Glad to hear everything is working for you now! As you have found, sometimes it is simpler to just start over with a fresh image on the Raspberry Pi. 73 Mike - KB0FX

Chris, Below is the output from my showudrc.sh. Since you were having problems with providing enough power to your DRAWS Pi-Hat it may be simpler for you to just flash the current SD RAM with the Beta

Fellow DRAWs Early Adopters, I am happy to report I am making progress with getting the DRAWS card to work with the Kenwood TS-440S on HF digital modes. I have JS8Call & WSJT-X FT8 Mode decoding signa

Downloads are working fine this evening. Just downed the Beta7 in ~ 10 minutes. There must have been throughput issues on AT&T peering this afternoon. I have AT&T U-Verse. I have a fiber based Passive

The download is taking a very long time. Going on 2 hours. I have a 100 Mbps Fiber connection to the Internet. Any thoughts?

Excellent video Bryan! It really helps clear up a great deal of confusion! Thank You! 73 Mike - KB0FX
