I am experiencing a frustrating time with my PI(s) and I'm hoping someone can help me solve my problem. I have FPAC/Netrom and have been getting Netrom connects but no AX25 connects, except from RF ;

Rob, Thanks for that idea. Downloading then turning on the topographic now shows the difference between land and sea (although the line around the coast doesn't match the shading of the land). The bad

Hi The issue I have is that using the .config/autostart/xstir.desktop method xastir starts before startx has finished. So xastir is running but in the back ground. How can I delay the start up of

There's a big difference between "I can't get the program to work" and "the program is no good", I'm sure you'll agree. To Ronny, and anybody else having difficulty with xastir
