The 4 in the group name is a numerical representation of the word "for" - RaspberryPi-for-HamRadio Models 2, 3 and 4 weren't even a dream when the group was started! Ray vk2tv

Are you running the radio muted, or unmuted? Some radios when running muted have very slow unmute time, with some taking long enough that an incoming packet is clipped at the start. That will cause pa

Vince For APRS? Definitely 145.175. I can only guess that there is some use being made of the 70cm frequency "somewhere" in Oz but I'm rural, around 350km from the nearest city major city, where there

Possible oops, my previous might be interpreted as the 70cm frequency is "it". To clarify, for just in case, Oz does also have 145.175MHz as the 2m national APRS frequency. Ray vk2tv

Just adding to what David has provided, the WIA (Wireless Institute of Australia) 70cm band plan (at 09-2020) shows 439.100MHz as the Oz national ARPS frequency. Ray vk2tv

Just a couple of thoughts off the top of my head: is the DHCP lease in the router expiring in the time frame stated? have you looked at dmesg to see if anything is reported? Use (sudo) dmesg -T to tim

Welcome to the house of Murphy. Ray vk2tv

USB devices being given a different /dev ID at boot is quite common. I'm not aware of it happening when software restarts and I can't say if it can or can't happen. Regardless I'd take a look at creat

They're in the package gpsd-clients but be warned, the version in Buster is broken. However the version in backports is ok. If you search gpsd-clients buster backports you should find a howto for gett

To (hopefully) eliminate any confusion or questions I'm advising that I have changed the email address used to post to this group from vk2tv@... to aprs@... In 2015 while subscri

Can somebody in admin block this ongoing crap? We've all reached saturation point. Ray vk2tv

All, I feel some misinformation is starting to emerge re dd, img files and xz compression that needs clarification, especially since many individuals on this list are "feeling" their way and don't nee

dd is a decades old 'Nix command line program for copying data bit for bit - dd stands for disk duplicate - and it is pure command line. I wouldn't recommend it to a Linux newbie, too much chance of c

The obvious answer is CHOICE. Less obvious to newcomers to the 'Nix world is that tar has been around a long time (since 1979) and has a proven record of reliability, performance and scriptability to

On point 1, kernel AX25 has various display options for mheard that can be found here https://www.unix.com/man-page/debian/1/mheard/ I don't know if other variants of AX25 offer the same options becau

The tool dos2unix is handy for massaging a Windows generated text file into Unix (Linux) format, it strips the CR that can cause a script to fail. sudo apt-get install dos2unix Ray vk2tv

That's not quite correct. For receive, the difference between the 1200 and 9600 ports on the rear socket is that the former has de-emphasised audio while the latter has "flat" audio from the discrimin

It's not bashing, it's the honest truth. Those cheap radios are crap for most things but worse for digtal, and I own one that has been shelf decoration for three years. You get what you pay for. With

I've used the Behringer UCA202 on Linux, including the RPi, and it works fine as plug and play. The UCA202 has RCA stereo line in and line out as well as SPDIF (Toslink) out. It's a 48kHs device. The
