In the Raspberry menu we start PiQtTermTCP under Accessories and go to Setup AGW Configuration.Īctivate AGW interface and monitor. We can also see a received data packet (DB0FRG my home digipeater) and that an AGW client has been connected. Direwolf is now also ready for an AGW client or KISS. Also the sound card is detected correctly and Hamlib has detected CAT control on the serial port. In the picture we can see that Hamlib is installed correctly. We can of course minimize it if it bothers us. If we have done everything correctly and the settings are correct, the startup window looks like this:Īs long as we need the sound modem the window must remain open. Now we can start Direwolf in the Raspberry menu or simply enter the command in a terminal: direwolf -p At the time of writing this article, the 705 is not yet available in Hamlib. I have entered CI-V code 94h in my ICOM 705. IMPORTANT: The transceiver control only works if Hamlib was installed correctly. For me with the IC-705 this is: PTT RIG 373 /dev/ttyACM0 For the PTT to work this must be defined. If this is written only once (other than in the pat menu) the software assumes that the same soundcard is used for sending and receiving. There we can check if everything was entered correctly when installing the software. We open a terminal and enter the command: sudo nano nf plughw:2,0, plughw:2,0 means that this soundcard is used for both receive and transmit.īefore we start Direwolf we can have a look at the associated config file. In my case this is the built-in soundcard of my ICOM 705.
It is also important that you set the correct sound card in the Ardop command.
In a terminal you can display all available devices with the command rigctl -l. In this respect it is important to check under Rig Control Command that the number 4 is there. Important for us is the menu item “Settings/Config”.Ĭat control is done with FLRig in this setup. In the setup below, I assume you used the Build a Pi script from Jason, KM4ACK.įirst, let’s open the Pat menu and take a closer look at the default settings. How to install the programs for this there is a separate article from me. What software is needed? A sound modem (e.g. It is especially handy if the radio also has a CAT controller. What hardware is needed? A Raspberry PI 3 or 4, a USB sound card (or a radio with a built-in sound card). The operating system and the most important programs are available for free. It is small, inexpensive and incredibly versatile. Both at home as the main computer in the shack but also on the road. The Raspberry PI 3+4 has proven itself as an amateur radio computer.
