what are you using to connect Xastir to the radio? You said its running behind the scenes. I cant get direwolf to operate the ptt

Hi. You need a couple of scripts to start and stop services and you also need to ensure the PTT is configured to use rigcat in the /etc/direwolf.conf file (e.g. PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532). I can share sample scripts and direwolf.conf file with you if you drop me an email. Email address can be found here: kzbin.infoabout

Nice video, I have my 705 and was looking for a notebook to use with digital data. Seems like linux the way to go. 73s

Thanks Steve 73

Magnifique vidéo. Bonnes explications. Il y a logtemps que j'ai abandonné Windows pour mes loisirs et mon travail. J'utilise deux chromebook Lenove 500e. Je souhaiterai en utilisé un comme vous l'avez fait. Si vous aviez un guide pas à pas ce serait super bien pour la communauté HAM. 73' QRO - F11SKF Hervé

Thanks. When I get time, I will see if I can make a step by step video on how to unlock and configure the Chromebook. In the meantime, this link may be useful: www.schroer.ca/2017/01/31/chromebook-linux/index.html - 73 de Andy, M0VOX
