Well, if you're sure the hardware is not the issue, then it has to be the software setup.

If you download and install a standard Raspbian Buster image, it will already be setup to connect to a local WiFi.  I don't know what the Ham2 guy has done to setup his WiFi, so I can't comment on that.  Perhaps you should contact him directly.  There have been a fair number of people on this and other forums that are having issues with the WiFI on his setup.

You might try just using the default Buster image and then installing the ham software that you want.  It's pretty easy if you just use the built in package installer.  More complicated if you want to use "git" to get the source code and compile it yourself.

Any help is really appreciated.   Like I said, I have tried 5 diff “work around” none effective.  I keep going back to a clean original image before starting troubleshooting in order to prevent cumulative or code errors.

Mat,

I assume this was done on windows with pitnc_setparams. I'm running Linux and am unable to find a `amd64` build of pitnc_setparams. I've attempted to put the TNC back on the raspberry pi but am unable to use it anymore. I can not find the original firmware to revert the changes.

Who is the developer of pitnc_setparms? Surely there is an appropriate place to find support for their product.

Thanks,
Ash

I use the NOOBS downloaded from raspberrypi.org. Run it and it will load the latest version of the operating system. Once to get everything set up (password change, etc) do a “sudo alt get synaptic”. This will install synaptic in your pi in your drop down menus. It is a repository of numerous files available for the pi. There is a directory on synaptic specifically for amateur radio.

I have loaded a few sd cards with the KM4ACK pi build and some with
the W3DJS image. I set them all up using an ethernet connection and an
hdmi connection. All goes well. I VNC into them and I can see the
desktop on my computer or tablet. I shut down with no problems. When I
disconnect the hdmi as well as the ethernet and try to just connect
through VNC, I see the message "cannot currently show the desktop".
What would be the display resolution that I need? I have tried a few
different resolutions and when hdmi is plugged in my tablet sees the
desktop. Without hdmi plugged in, no desktop. I know VNC is connecting
to the pi but not able to display the desktop. Is there a different
way to set screen resolutions other than from the configuration menu?
Any suggestions, please???

You said disconnect HDMI and Ethernet. VNC needs the Ethernet connected if you are not using WiFi and is in the same network as the place you want to connect from.
