Hi all, I have been wrestling with this for a while so hope some others might have worked it out. I have a raspberry pi 3 which I use 'headless' for digital modes in the field with my 817. more here h

I've got access to Crossover for Linux by Codeweavers. I can try that instead of vanilla Wine or could try PlayonLinux. Sometimes they seem to offer better integration than the plain Wine plus Codewea

I briefly looked into decoding and encoding with FLdigi. What we need it details of the checksum calculation that is appended to the packets an used for validation when decoding. Personally I think tr

Why oh why do people keep trying to beat a round peg into a square hole? It's intrinsically a kludge to run native Windows programs under Linux. Trying to do this on a Ras Pi just makes it doubly klud

Thanks for finding that, Stephen. I remember writing it but couldn't remember where it was posted. I recall one of the FlDigi developers was interested in adding APRS over digimodes to FlDigi in the e

#raspberrypi #pi #linux

With respect Stephen many people may only be able to afford a raspberry pi and may be existing on second hand or loan gear. Personally I prefer not to tie up my decent PC hardware most of which I shar

I wholeheartedly agree re price / affordability. I run an old xp laptop at home but can do all digital modes in the bush /p bar CCW aprs and winlink - however pat looks like a goer on the pi with ardo

I wonder - and am shooting from the hip here - if in my case FLDIGI would help. We have seen how psk63 can work from say a tablet using a wolphilink ... I set the pi on fldigi, on MFSK16 using the VK

It is possible to generate a fixed beacon packet with APRS Messenger, read it with another device using FlDigi then cut and paste the received message including the tilde ~ symbols and the CRC-16 chec

#raspberrypi #pi #linux

Thanks Chris !! Any way I can generate a check sum? And would it change beacon to beacon? Even mobile? W

#raspberrypi #pi #linux

If the same fixed beacon is used then the checksum doesn't vary. Used mobile then it will vary as the GPS position changes. The same with messages. APRS Messenger uses a CRC-16 Modbus checksum and the

#raspberrypi #pi #linux

Just to conclude the discussion from my end. I gave the raspberry pi a few more goes and then gave up. I have got a nice z83 TV box running windows 10 that can run off 12v/1.5A so could be battery pow

#raspberrypi #pi #linux

Thanks Greg - That does sound like an option. Just to be clear on my personal needs and thus why I was looking at the FLDIGI solution - I do not want a tracker that is constantly pumping out beacons a
