I put 133 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.319 some solar panels on my roof right above my head here, 134 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.920 and then you can see this red and black wire here, 135 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.480 and this black thing over here is the solar charge controller. 136 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.360 That's going to be a test bench for charge controllers 137 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.600 and inverters and batteries and so on. 138 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.000 It's awesome. 139 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.800 He'sup plywood mounted on the wall so I can zip, 140 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.600 screw things in, screw things out, change out parts. 141 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.079 Good, good, excellent. 142 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:50.240 I've got insurance. 143 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.839 Well, hey, you know what, whatever works for you, man, 144 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.759 just don't just hopefully your slide room doesn't fall apart. 145 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:58.079 That's all. 146 00:07:58.319 --> 00:07:58.959 That's all I ask. 147 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.040 And I don't have the swin Tech slides. 148 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:02.920 You're lucky then. 149 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.399 Well, the bad part about your slides was the emergency 150 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.079 manual part to get to to do it manually was 151 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.560 underneath the slider room, right, so you can do it 152 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.680 manually without And it. 153 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.360 Didn't come it didn't come with a tool of its 154 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:19.879 own at all. 155 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.399 I've said it before. I think all RV manufacturers should 156 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.560 be required to spend one week living in their RV 157 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.720 in everyone that they make, you'd be surprised how fast 158 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.120 we'd innovate, how fast we'd fix this stupid. 159 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.480 That is a that is a good idea. I like that. 160 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:38.120 I like them. 161 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.960 So my toilet seat likes to fall down while I'm 162 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.360 using the toilet seat while it's supposed to be up. 163 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.799 Let's put it that way. Men in the chat, which 164 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:51.559 are most of you, understand what I'm talking about. 165 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.240 I think your wife says that's a feature. 166 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.279 Yeah, talk about a pucker moment, no doubt, no doubt. 167 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:00.200 That's funny. 168 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:02.759 And it's just because of where they set the toilet 169 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.919 up against the wall. They turned it. They turned it, 170 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.559 you know, forty five degrees from the wall. 171 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:12.799 So yeah, yeah, that'supid. So all right, if you can't 172 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.639 see this, this is a quade. Wind Link over Android, 173 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:21.440 and I have been I've had a wind Link account 174 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.399 for I don't know, maybe four or five years, maybe 175 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.879 longer than that. Seems like I had it before COVID. 176 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.320 I don't remember, but I've had a wind Link account 177 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:33.440 for a number of years. I use it oft and on. Honestly, 178 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.679 I got to give Mike props cadaan to Mardie because 179 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:42.080 he brought his broke ass mac to uh to field 180 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.120 Day winterfield Day, and he was talking about how much 181 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.960 he was he was fighting with it, but he was 182 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:51.360 but over on the Apple Os. But you know, I 183 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:55.279 let him tinker with it on my uh my Windows 184 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:59.519 box and wind Link Express was written for Windows good bad, 185 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:01.559 right R. I'm not saying that's just the way it was. 186 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.679 So he kind of re invigorated my interest in wind 187 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.399 Link over winter field Day. So we were we did 188 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.480 we took part in the km for a CK winterfield 189 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.879 Day challenge to download like a list and send an 190 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.879 email to somebody and get a reply and send it 191 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.120 to somebody else. Whatever it was, we did it. Whatever 192 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.039 it was, I don't remember now. It was like it 193 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.000 was three or four steps. It was easy, but you know, 194 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:32.200 and we did it over forty meters I believe, and 195 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.360 it was pretty easy to get into the forty meter 196 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:39.480 Vora Vora HF modem that we were using at the time. 197 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:45.919 So that was that was fun. I I I enjoyed 198 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.200 doing that. And then since then, of course Ack was 199 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.720 at hmcash last weekend, so we did a lot of wind, 200 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.720 and there's there was a and I remember from last 201 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.039 year there was a wind Link gateway not too far 202 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.360 for a two meter packet when Link gateway not too 203 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.600 far from there at all. And uh, and I use 204 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.399 the heck out of that. I checked in win Link 205 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.480 at least once a day when I was out there 206 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.759 at and this this radio that I'm going to try 207 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:17.519 to talk Frank into getting, which is the uv PRO Yep, yeah, 208 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.440 I got enough battery left so that uv PRO is. Yeah, 209 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.519 the VGC. So I wonder, Steve, have you done an 210 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.039 actual comparison between those two radios. 211 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.399 Yeah, there's very very minor differences. And the uv PRO 212 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.279 one of the channel banks is taken up by Noah 213 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.120 Weather channels, which then allows you to do scanning of 214 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.240 the Noah Weather channels. And I think it has weather alerts. 215 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.960 You can manually do that on this, but it doesn't 216 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.200 have the weather alerts, okay. And the uv PRO is 217 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:48.360 like ten dollars cheaper. 218 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.200 Is is it really ten dollars cheaper? Okay? 219 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.200 Yeah, I want to say it's one sixty four for 220 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.639 the uv PRO and then the VGC is one seventy 221 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.799 four after my ten dollars discount, but you can't get 222 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.919 the the b tech in colors and now comes in 223 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:09.399 prison edition prison clear beer case, and then you can 224 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:10.279 see oh yeah. 225 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.159 Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, all right, all right, prison edition. 226 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.720 Sure I have a ten I have a ten dollars 227 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.440 discount for the UV Pro from bellfin Tech, so I 228 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:25.840 can get you yeah, yeah, something like that. So, uh, 229 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.440 is there a poly pissy pissy pants beer tonight? No, 230 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.360 TC fits, I don't drink I p a's, but thank 231 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.559 you for asking, and. 232 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.000 I think that attack. 233 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.000 And then uh and then he asked earlier with a 234 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.159 twenty dollars super chat is is that a member of 235 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:47.919 the Coffee and Ham Radio Any friend of Chuck is 236 00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.200 a friend of mine, So there you go. He knows Chuck. 237 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.320 Thank you TC fitz for the support, buddy. Yeah. So 238 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:01.759 Mike hat I left my freaking uv pro home for hamcshion. 239 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:03.879 I was gonna bring it. I knew we were going 240 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.639 to be doing APRS stuff, so I just used my 241 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:10.000 D seventy four the whole weekend. And obviously that's a 242 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.960 fantastic radio. Absolutely nothing in the world wrong with that radio, 243 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:18.039 Little battery life. But other than that, Mike had this 244 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.960 problem with his VGC where it kept squawking in the 245 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.399 when he would unkey it was almost like it wouldn't 246 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.200 a Roger B but this squawk. So he went into 247 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.039 the settings and it was set, and there was some 248 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.759 setting in there that kept turning itself back on. He 249 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.440 would turn it off, and it would turn it set 250 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.879 like even like he thought it was because he powered 251 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.120 the radio down and then powered back up. But then 252 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.399 later that like the second day, he was like, no, 253 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.519 it's back on. I haven't even powered the radio off today. 254 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.720 So there's some kind of bug that powers on something 255 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.279 in the APRS settings that makes all those noises and whatnot. 256 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:50.960 I can't remember the name of the menu right now, 257 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:56.440 but signaling settings, Mike says, the signaling settings inside of 258 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.399 that VGC, they kept turning themselves back on. So I 259 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.200 gotta see, I haven't tried that on this one. But 260 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:04.480 when I key up and talk to myself over this radio, 261 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.519 it doesn't make that squawking noise at the end. 262 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.200 Yeah, and Mike, by the way, I did find out 263 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.600 how to turn off the APRS audio in your ear 264 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.399 hole on that radio because Mike and I both had 265 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.600 that problem at handcasion where if we were. If we 266 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.759 had aps turned on all day long, it would just 267 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.159 get APRS messages and radio is useless at that point. 268 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:26.840 But I figured out how to turn that off. 269 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:32.200 Oh good, okay, okay, So I wonder if that I 270 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.759 wonder if that problem exists in this this be tech, 271 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.679 this be to I know that the VGC is full 272 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.759 open transmit illegally, which you know it is what it is. 273 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.120 I don't care. But this b tech, if it matters 274 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:43.799 to you, is actually a part in any radio. So 275 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.919 it's full open transmit also, but in the right way. 276 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.759 I don't know if the signaling. I would like to 277 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.320 put each one of those on a time see what 278 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:53.639 they want. 279 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.120 What is the right way to be full open transmit legally? 280 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.440 And then why is the other one illegal? I I 281 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:02.399 know what you're talking about, but I don't understand the 282 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.080 way that you said it. Oh well, you out. I'm 283 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:06.879 genuinely want to know it's part. 284 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.679 It hasn't. The the b tech has a legit Part 285 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.840 ninety certification from the FCC. Okay, v the VGC is 286 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.840 just sold as a Chinese radio that does everything. To 287 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.399 my understanding, that's how I understand. I don't think that 288 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.960 you have a FCC rating on the VGC, I will, 289 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.240 But the b Tech does the uh. 290 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.240 The VERO does do transmit on gm RS as an example, 291 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:31.919 which is what we're talking about open transmit. 292 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.799 Mm hmm. Yeah, yes, I yeah, I know, I know that. 293 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.759 I know that the vio is is open full of 294 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.840 in transmit. Yes, agreed, But the but the but the 295 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.120 b Tech has the actual Part ninety certification. 296 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:46.320 So again, as much as I like to argue, I'm 297 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:47.039 not calling you out. 298 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.440 Like no, no, no, that's a good question. It's it's a 299 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:51.879 good question. Yeah, no, I'm just saying that it's uh 300 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:54.679 for those who for those who care about legalities, it's 301 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.799 the b Tech is an actual Part niney radio. So 302 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:05.639 mm hmm. So yeah, Mike says, please tell me how 303 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.039 to mute APRS. 304 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.759 Yeah, no, fcc ID, Mike, edit the channel specifically that 305 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.480 you've got it set on APRS and it's in the 306 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:16.000 channel setting for that specific channel. Just mute the whole channel. 307 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.840 Forty five autos that because Btex is the US company, 308 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:24.279 Maybe maybe not. I mean, there are legit Bowfang radios 309 00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:28.679 that have Part ninety certified. There's a UV eighty two 310 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:32.039 Charlie Charlie for commercial that has a part ninety five 311 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:37.960 I'm sorry, a part ninety certification from the FCC. I 312 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:43.320 don't uh, I'm not one hundred percent convinced that Balfang 313 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:49.440 isn't just printing FCC stickers at their factory. Yes, but nevertheless, 314 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:51.559 I mean there are some legit bowfangs that have a 315 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.000 FCC ratings, So I don't think that it's partner. I 316 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.440 said it wrong. VI part ninety, part nine zero, not 317 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:02.279 ninety five. Part ninety five is GMRSFRS, but no part 318 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:07.640 ninety rating is full open transmit on two and usually 319 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.440 like four hundred and four eighty something like that. So 320 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.079 it'll cover all of the ham radio bands merge, gm 321 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:19.559 RSFRS Marine band that I it'll cover everything. So anyway, okay, 322 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:26.559 so channel muted. Thanks. Uh let me see I think 323 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.880 I put did I put? No? I didn't. I'll get that. 324 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:31.480 I'll get that link for you guys here in a matute. 325 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.119 I should have put the link to that uv pro 326 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:36.880 in the chat, but I didn't, so I got this 327 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.279 met so again anyway, So I was saying about wind 328 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.160 link a minute ago, and we were using it all 329 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.559 throughout hamcash and I have. There's a wind link gateway, 330 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:46.720 a packet wind link gateway that's about I don't know, 331 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.079 maybe four or five miles as the crow flies that 332 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.039 way from me. That way it's in South Lake, just 333 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:52.359 north of me. 334 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:53.960 Because it makes a difference. 335 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:55.359 Right, Yeah, I'm just saying that. 336 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.279 I don't know what that way is, yeah from you. 337 00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:01.240 Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's north of me. Uh, and 338 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.759 I cannot I was thinking West, I cannot get into Well, 339 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.920 it's just the closest one. There's one west. Also, I 340 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.960 cannot get into it from an ht on on a 341 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:12.440 rubber duck, but I can get it. But I have 342 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:14.880 the b tech plugged into my external in intent right 343 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:16.759 now and I can. I can easily get into it 344 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:18.960 all day long. I took it up to my mailbox 345 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.000 the other day and I had the the uv pro 346 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.440 clip to my my son visor in the truck and 347 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.440 I was getting into it from there. So it's got 348 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.559 pretty good range for a ht forhe where I. 349 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:31.480 And that was horizontally polarized too. 350 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:38.720 It was yeah, it's real good. Yep. So but yeah, 351 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:40.680 so I've been checking when link emails. I checked whin 352 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.279 link emails right before the stream started. If you guys 353 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:44.960 want to send me a win link email, It's case 354 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.680 five HWB, so I will respond to you. I will 355 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:50.319 respond to you. So I got to send you on 356 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.359 Steve just to say I did it. So but when 357 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.920 I saw that, and I think that, uh I think 358 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.200 I saw this video of yours before HM cashion Steve, 359 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:02.880 and I'm like, oh, yeah, I want to I want 360 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.960 to tinker with that. So Steve did this video about 361 00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:09.240 how to easily set up a win Link gateway with 362 00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.319 h with an application called digipi, which is I guess 363 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:16.240 a whole image and and it looks a lot like 364 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.319 build a Pie, like Cam far ACK's Build a Pie. 365 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:20.480 Because it's got option you can use it for a PRS, 366 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.440 you can use it for I think ws J t X, 367 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:23.960 and there's a bunch of a bunch of other stuff 368 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:25.680 in there. So win Link gateway is one thing it'll do, 369 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:29.720 but it's not the only thing we'll do. But uh 370 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.799 so we're gonna look at that today. I wanted to 371 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.279 put something like that together today and see what we 372 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.200 could do. So that's why I invited Steve onto the 373 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.599 U to the show. So tell us about what you 374 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.160 learned about doing this Steve. 375 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.920 So there's there's quite a bit of stuff, and if 376 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.920 you have never operated a server before, that's that's where 377 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:51.759 this actually gets to be a little more difficult. The 378 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.640 radio stuff is fairly easy, fairly straightforward, especially with the 379 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:59.200 Digipi Raspberry Pie image because Craig does all the heavy 380 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.680 lifting for u k LW. But you want to be 381 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.359 aware of like, this is supposed to be a service 382 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:09.519 that you're providing the community in your area, and if 383 00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:11.359 you're doing this on HF, it's a service that you're 384 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.000 providing potentially worldwide, and people are going to come to 385 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:17.839 rely and depend on this thing, and you need to 386 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:20.839 set it up to be reliable and dependable if you're 387 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:22.759 really going to go after it, if you're really going 388 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:24.799 to do the service proud, you know the way it's 389 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:30.160 supposed to be done. So battery backup, ups, solar panels, 390 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.720 security so that nobody can break into your handshack and 391 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.119 turn it off, and the win Link server software takes 392 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.160 care of identification so you don't have to worry about 393 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.640 setting up an identification beacon. It does that for you, 394 00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:45.480 but you do have to worry about you know the 395 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.799 sec rules. You know you're staying in license compliance. You 396 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.440 have to be able to log into the system remotely 397 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:54.359 and shut it off. And that can be an Alexa device, 398 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.960 it can be x dot twenty five. I think it 399 00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:59.720 is X ten way back in the in the day, 400 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.359 an X ten device that you know just shuts off 401 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:05.400 the power. But if you're if you're doing this again, 402 00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:08.359 think your think your way through test these scenarios. Because 403 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.839 this radio has a battery backup. So if I left 404 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.960 this radio plugged into like a USBC cable and I 405 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.559 turned off the wall outlet, I've still got another n 406 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.400 hours of uptime where this thing might still be locked 407 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.519 in transmit and minutes of uptime where it might still 408 00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.559 be locked in transmit or something along those lines. So 409 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.519 you have to kind of put those thoughts into play 410 00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:32.799 as well. 411 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:35.200 So I get that that's a good that's a good 412 00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:36.759 way to look at it. I have. I didn't look 413 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:38.960 at it that way. My this, uh, this right here 414 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.680 is going to be a test bed for me because 415 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:43.680 I want to set this one up and I wanted 416 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.200 to do I wanted to do a portable node and 417 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:50.440 they apparently don't like that. But there is something when 418 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.759 you when you fill out and you have to send 419 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.480 an email to some guy at win linked dot org. 420 00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:58.480 If in fact, if we I'll pull it up, it's right. 421 00:21:58.759 --> 00:21:59.359 Sure have the page. 422 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:04.000 Yeah yeah. If I go here and win link right here, 423 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.440 and I become a wind Link gateway cysop right there 424 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:10.279 on the right hand side, and then you click on 425 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:13.720 that link and oh it doesn't work there it goes okay, 426 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.279 join the join the sysop team. It's got all these 427 00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:18.400 stuff you got to read through here, which is it 428 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:20.480 doesn't take but a minute to read that. So you 429 00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:22.680 have to send your name and call sign the base 430 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:24.160 call sign of the gateway station. 431 00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:24.960 Uh. 432 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:26.880 And it must be a call sign under your control 433 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.440 of course. 434 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:32.079 So like so you were your club, right, yeah, trust. 435 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.759 The right exactly. That's what you did with you set. 436 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:35.880 Up k toads, right, I set up k toads yep. 437 00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:39.079 Right cool? Uh, state your agreement to commit and operate 438 00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:43.039 within these guidelines these guidelines above here and a reference 439 00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.799 to confirm the affiliation with an established MCom organization if 440 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:49.079 you intend to operate the station as a temporary or 441 00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:55.200 portable asset. So that makes me wonder if I should 442 00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:58.880 try to get something with one of the InCom groups 443 00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:04.279 I'm a part of to do something just for that, so, right, 444 00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:05.920 that might be a step for the future. I may 445 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.039 or may not try to do that in the future, 446 00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:11.400 but my original and my original hope was to do 447 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.079 it as a portable node. And I understand that they 448 00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.160 want they want to know where where the nodes are 449 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:20.559 so they can populate them and have people use them 450 00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:21.039 and have them money. 451 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:24.359 They're trying to create infrastructure, right, That's like I said before, 452 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.440 that's reliable, and you moving your radio means it's going 453 00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:29.920 to be turned off while you move it potentially. 454 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.559 Right, yeah, true, true. So but but I sent an 455 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:35.440 email to get that and I was like, yeah, I'm 456 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.720 not going to move it, and uh and I didn't really. 457 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.759 I just answered the first three questions, really, and I 458 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:42.680 think he replied back to me like two hours later, 459 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:45.240 and I got I got Now it's pretty quick. 460 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:47.559 Okay, don't don't write them a book, don't tell them 461 00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:50.920 about your financial situation. You know, this isn't eighty meters. 462 00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.640 Just answer the questions or three questions and Hilbert truth, 463 00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:56.440 the more you type, the longer it's going to take 464 00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:57.200 to get a response. 465 00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:01.119 True. Yeah, yeah, it's a good point. So all right, 466 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:05.880 so I download so if we go here to digipie, 467 00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:10.680 which is craiger dot org for slash Digipie. KM six 468 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.440 l y W is the one who makes this download here, 469 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:16.920 And that down load was awfully slow. I think it 470 00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:18.559 took about an hour to download that. 471 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.440 Oh wow, I did it. It's usually doesn't take that long, 472 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:22.000 does it not? 473 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:23.799 Okay, okay, I must have. I must have hit it 474 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:26.119 on a time when he was having multiple downloads. 475 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:27.240 I'm gonna bled it down. 476 00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:31.039 Eh. Maybe my five hundred five hundred meg up and 477 00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:35.240 down fiber connection was probably too slow for it, probably. 478 00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:38.039 So, But but it took away. 479 00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.319 It took a while to do. It wasn't bad. But 480 00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:44.880 I downloaded that. I burned it to a microst card. 481 00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:47.960 I plugged it into a Raspberry I have a Pie 482 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.079 three Steve because that's just what I had land on. 483 00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:51.200 Yeah, should be perfect. 484 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:53.799 Yeah. The only thing I don't like about the Pie 485 00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:55.519 three is that it runs over micro USB. 486 00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:58.000 So so win link. The official name of wind Link 487 00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:00.799 is w L two k when link two, which should 488 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:02.599 tell you about when it came out and what it 489 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:05.160 was written for. So a Pie three is actually overpowered. 490 00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:07.000 Well, that's that's a good that's a good way to 491 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.400 look at it. Yeah, yeah, good deal. So so I 492 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.319 got that downloaded, I've got it installed, and i've got 493 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:18.079 it right here if you can see it, we've. 494 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:19.079 Got it good enough. 495 00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:23.559 HDM. I captured into one of my ports here and 496 00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.039 it's at the login screen and I didn't I didn't 497 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.240 read far enough to see what the login information. 498 00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:32.680 Was, So you don't to go this far, okay, and 499 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:35.000 that this is totally cool. What what it will do 500 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:38.240 is it will create its own automatic Wi Fi hotspot 501 00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:40.079 right and it might be better if you looked at 502 00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:43.319 this on your phone since we're live streaming over this connection. Okay, 503 00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:48.680 so look for the digipie Wi Fi access point. 504 00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:51.599 I've actually got it plugged into Ethernet right now, so 505 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.200 it's possible it turned that off. 506 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:55.599 Oh yeah. If you've got to plug into Ethernet, then 507 00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:57.319 you might be able to just get straight in via 508 00:25:57.920 --> 00:25:59.400 the IP address if you have a way of finding 509 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:00.400 out the IPA dress. 510 00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:02.640 I do have a digipie. 511 00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:03.759 Never wired this in. 512 00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:06.200 I just did it because I'm here in the shack 513 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.720 and i've got to I've got a switch right here. 514 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:08.400 I've got a next fight. 515 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:11.359 It would be better if it's wired, you know. 516 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.319 Right, yeah, I mean obviously you you uh yeah, I mean. 517 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:17.920 In a wireless hobby, you won as many wires as possible, 518 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.720 antenna wires, coax wires, power wires. 519 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:24.799 Ed wants to know if it'd run on a Pie zero. 520 00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:26.519 Which one is the Pie zero you told me to. 521 00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:29.759 The Pie zero two w is the one that you 522 00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:32.599 want to run it on. The Pi zero by itself 523 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.359 is a single core seven hundred megahertz machine. Not fast enough. 524 00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:38.880 You want the zero two, which is a four core machine. 525 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:43.640 I think it's one and a half gigahertz. It's not important, 526 00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:45.559 but you know, the four cores is the important part. 527 00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:48.599 Also, the w is because it's wireless. 528 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:49.559 Wireless. 529 00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:52.920 Ah good, good, Okay, Yeah, I have an old Pie 530 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:54.720 two floating around here somewhere that I remember having to 531 00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:58.720 add Wi Fi USB dongle two because the Pie two 532 00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:02.000 didn't have Wi Fi built into go figure. But okay, 533 00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:06.640 all right, so it's wired in right now, and or I. 534 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:08.960 Try to go to its IP address. Okay, in a 535 00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:12.519 web browser, I can let me find with the while 536 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:17.799 you're doing that, the the Wi Fi access point that 537 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.200 you do. You go to that Wi Fi access pointed like, 538 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.680 like I told Jason, it's better to do it on 539 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:28.119 your cell phone, and then you go to ten zero 540 00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:30.920 zero five I think is the IPA dress, or you 541 00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.640 can go to digipi dot local in your browser. It's HTTP, 542 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.160 not HTTPS because ham radio is not supposed to be encrypted. 543 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:40.240 And then from there there is a configuration page where 544 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.319 you can figure it to be on your Wi Fi. 545 00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:46.839 Just do the Wi Fi configuration only, save it and reboot, 546 00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:49.119 and we'll show that when Jason finds the ip dress. 547 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:51.079 I'm just trying to take up some time while Jason's 548 00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:54.359 getting that sorted out and figured out. But it will 549 00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:59.200 it will auto ap auto access point if you don't 550 00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:01.480 have it already configured, and if you do have it 551 00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:03.599 already configured and it can't find that network, it will 552 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.160 also auto access point. And then you can use this 553 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:09.839 trick on your cell phone to set its IP address, 554 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:12.720 join the Wi Fi network that you're on, or just 555 00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:15.720 use its Wi Fi network from your cell phone and 556 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:17.720 take it from there. When you are doing a win 557 00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:21.000 Link server, you do need an Internet connection, so be 558 00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:23.759 cognizant of that. Most of the other services on the digipi, 559 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:27.400 like FTA, JSA call aprs. That kind of stuff does 560 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:32.000 not need an IP Internet connection, but this wind Link 561 00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:33.440 server side does, right. 562 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:34.279 Yeah. 563 00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:36.559 The whole purpose of a wind Link gateway is so 564 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:41.279 that it can send and receive your messages via RF 565 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.000 and then transmit them over over the interwebs and do 566 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:46.279 regular emails. 567 00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:47.799 To connect gateway to gateway to gateway. 568 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:50.880 Yep, oh yeah yeah. Okay, So I got the IP address. 569 00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.519 Do I need to put anything after it after putting 570 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:53.319 it into a browser? 571 00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:57.200 Uh no, because it's not loading. 572 00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:59.880 Stop up, it's not loading by itself right now? 573 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:00.720 HTTP. 574 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:03.759 Let me make sure I don't. 575 00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.440 I think I just and like I said, I have 576 00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:09.440 never done this wired, so it may not even support 577 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:11.000 it because I don't even know if Craig is done 578 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:13.839 it wired. It's it's design that you take the zero 579 00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.160 two W into the field with you and do field stuff. 580 00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:16.799 I see. 581 00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:19.440 Yeah, so it's trying to do secure So you have 582 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:21.079 to type in HTTP col inside. 583 00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:23.799 Well I just did that. This is just stupid. Chrome 584 00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:25.359 wanted to putt put an s. 585 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:28.519 And it's side of force. Can't you just go to there? 586 00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:29.160 It is there? 587 00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:31.519 You got it? It just too okay, And I had 588 00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:33.559 to I had to just hit refresh a couple of times. 589 00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:36.039 Yeah, So, like I was saying on the bottom, so 590 00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.640 you have all of the services and you can look 591 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:43.759 at those a PRS, TNC I gate, APRS, HF, TNC iGATE, APRS, dgpter, APRS, 592 00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:47.960 GPS tracker, webchat AX twenty five networking, which is actually 593 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:50.920 computer to computer networking. When link email server is going 594 00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:53.079 to be what we do today when link email client, 595 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:55.160 which is how I set it up. I had one 596 00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:56.759 that's a server and one that's a client, So two 597 00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.759 separate pies, two separate radios. The r DOP is actually 598 00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:03.319 a f astro modem. Then packet radio ring control would 599 00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.039 be used for ws JTX and he's got slow scan 600 00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:09.400 TV fl digit and JSA call. So this is a 601 00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:12.440 loaded image and all of this software once we get 602 00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:15.559 through this process will be one hundred percent configured, ready 603 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:17.039 to go. So when you click on FT eight, it's 604 00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.480 already got your call sign, it's already got the radio configured, 605 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:21.119 and so on. I wanted to get through that list 606 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:23.079 real quick because that's important to get that word out. 607 00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:24.680 But if you scroll down a little bit more on 608 00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:28.519 that page, there's two links that are important all the 609 00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:31.079 way down to the blue links. There you go. On 610 00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:34.480 the first column you see Wi Fi and on the 611 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:38.079 bottom of that you see the green initialize. So if 612 00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.200 you're doing this on your phone, just do the Wi Fi, 613 00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.400 save the CONFIGU and reboot, and then go in on 614 00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:47.839 your desktop computer system with your Internet connection and so forth, 615 00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.119 and then do the initialized. You don't have to, but 616 00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.880 it's easier that way if you're going to stay. If 617 00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:55.240 you this wired seems to be working out fines, you 618 00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:56.680 just click initialized. 619 00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.759 Just click initialize. Okay, I might set that up. 620 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.720 Yeah, But so type in your call sign, skip the 621 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.640 password on wind link, fill out everything else. 622 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:07.559 Mm hmm. 623 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:09.599 And the reason why I'm telling you to skip the 624 00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.440 password is because it's going to show it in plain text. 625 00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:15.960 Right yeah, APRS password, I'm gonna skip that as well. 626 00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:18.720 Yeah, and that that's not actually a password, that's just 627 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.119 a generated thing. And this is why I want to 628 00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.519 do this on the internet. If you hit generate, it'll 629 00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.480 take you to the APRS pass Code Generator site where 630 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:28.079 you can type in your call sign and it'll tell 631 00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:30.920 you your pass code. Oh okay, okay, And then the 632 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:32.319 same thing with all the rest of these They all 633 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:34.759 have these little you know, hot links to take you 634 00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:36.319 over to help you find out, which is why I 635 00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.200 like to do it on the internet instead of on 636 00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:40.160 my phone without internet access. 637 00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:44.359 Okay, all right, latitude and longitude were already filled in. 638 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:47.480 They're wrong, but they're filled Yeah, yeah. 639 00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:50.640 They're wrong obviously because it's something that was popular. Do 640 00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:52.359 do we need to click locate for that. 641 00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:57.240 Unless you know it by heart? Yeah, click locate locate 642 00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:59.759 and then just type in like Grapevine, Texas or whatever. 643 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.960 Close enough, and we really don't need to know where 644 00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:07.759 your shack is. There we go, there, you go. 645 00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.119 Okay, so there. 646 00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:18.039 And okay, and after you've done this the first time, 647 00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:21.359 all of this stuff is cashed in your browser to 648 00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.160 drop down and like auto fill, you don't have a 649 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:29.200 GPS device to leave that alone. Okay, twenty five note 650 00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.359 pass we're not actually doing that, so you can leave 651 00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:34.319 that the way it is. Okay, screen type, you can 652 00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:35.920 leave that alone. I don't think you have the screen, 653 00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:36.200 do you. 654 00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:37.920 I don't have a screen for it. No, do you 655 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.920 have a screen on yours? 656 00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:41.319 I have a screen on two of mine. I have 657 00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:43.200 the little one point three inch which is the same 658 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:46.480 size as the MMDVM screens. And now there is a 659 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.240 three point five inch screen, which is the size of 660 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:51.559 the raspberry pie itself. And that one's really sweet. So 661 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:53.839 I have some videos on that as well. 662 00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:57.160 Do you have like a neat case to put the 663 00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.759 pie and the screen and everything in? So it's like 664 00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:00.359 one unit. 665 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:03.440 For the one point three inch case, one point three 666 00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:05.559 inch screen there is a case, I believe, and for 667 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:08.319 the three point five they the people that make the 668 00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:10.599 three point five inch screen don't make a case yet. 669 00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:13.960 And then Craig also has a couple like this. This 670 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.240 image has become really popular, so people have actually made 671 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.799 custom dedicated hardware for it also, I think, so, yeah, 672 00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.640 he's got he's got a big stack. So down the bottom, 673 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:24.759 this last one here where it says radio interface is 674 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:26.200 the next one we need to look at. You can 675 00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:29.400 see where it says f E Pie and I can't 676 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.079 read that audio hat f you Pie is Iron Pie 677 00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:35.920 Audio hat gp IO. So there's if you drop that 678 00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:38.559 list down, there's a couple of choices in that list 679 00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:41.519 of different pie hats that he's got that work really well, 680 00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:43.720 that have been custom built for him. But you're gonna 681 00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:45.519 need to pick radio interface and we're gonna need to 682 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:49.720 pick the radio talk about what's radio? You're using radio? 683 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.920 Okay, so I've got so the dropdown done show in 684 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:56.839 my window capture. But the choices are fe pie hat 685 00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:03.079 gp io and then USB connected radio, digirig dra pie 686 00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:08.920 zero hat, digipie hat audio injector hat and USB audio gpio. 687 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.079 So what radio are you using and how is it connected? 688 00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:14.599 I want to use this. I want to use this 689 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:18.000 FT sixty five with the digi rig. But okay, I'm 690 00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:19.960 not one hundred percent convinced that I've got the right 691 00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:24.559 digirig cable for that radio. So I did grab my 692 00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:26.280 seven o five. I do have my seven o five 693 00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:28.360 right here, and we can use that tonight for the 694 00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:29.480 purposes of the video. 695 00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:31.559 Seven five is going to be the easiest. 696 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:34.039 Okay, all right, let's just let's just do the seven 697 00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:36.920 o five eventually. I want to, Jason said a c K. 698 00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.920 He was like, yeah, that FT sixty five makes for 699 00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:42.039 a great server at the house or whatnot. And I'm like, 700 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:43.440 you know, that's a good idea. I've got one that 701 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.159 I don't I don't do anything else with it, so 702 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:46.760 it's a good thing to do. 703 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.679 Yeah, I got a whole stack of them hanging up 704 00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:49.079 back here. 705 00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:50.079 That's what they do. 706 00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:51.199 They multiply in your sleep. 707 00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:51.760 I know it. 708 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:55.199 Yeah, I have to have it. What are you want 709 00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:56.480 to use it for? I don't know, but I have 710 00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:56.960 to have it. 711 00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.159 I saw a guy on Reddit one time, call him 712 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:04.880 call Balfan self replicating. They're they're all self replicating. So okay, 713 00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.280 uh so we're gonna use USB radio then. 714 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:10.639 Yeah, And on this image when you pick USB radio, 715 00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:13.559 these defaults here the rig number and the port and 716 00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:16.280 everything is already set up for the seven oh five 717 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:21.719 because Craig has a seven oh five. Nice, so you're done. 718 00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:24.239 But if you don't have a seven o five. You 719 00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:26.360 see how it says rig number. I think it's thirty 720 00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:30.519 thirty five, And then it's a list, yeah, thirty. If 721 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:32.280 you click on rig list, it opens up a new tab. 722 00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:34.960 And this. If you guys have ever used Hamlet before, 723 00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.599 which is what's baked into w S J t X 724 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:41.199 and fl digit can use it, and rig control ri 725 00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:44.239 I g ctl on Linux uses it. This is like 726 00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:48.960 every radio ever made, and it's in alphabetical order, sorted 727 00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:55.400 by vendor name I believe, and alphabetical order is kind 728 00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:59.280 of weird because new numbers, I mean FRANKL back me 729 00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:03.119 up on this number sorted alphabetically, don't sort numerically. They 730 00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.679 sort alphabetically, right, So it's like seven hundred seventy one 731 00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:12.880 hundred seventy two hundred seven zero five or something like that. 732 00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:15.159 I'm trying to do math on stream and you don't 733 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.559 do that. But it's a difference that makes a little 734 00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:18.960 bit of a difference. So if you're looking for IC 735 00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:22.199 seven oh five, it's not necessarily going to be alphabetically 736 00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.159 numerically where you think it might be, but it's going 737 00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:26.199 to be in the icy sevens somewhere. 738 00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:28.880 Yeah, yeah, is easy enough. 739 00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:32.559 Okay, but just control F type in your rig number 740 00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:34.679 and boom type in your your rig name. 741 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:36.599 Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. 742 00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:36.920 Yeah. 743 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:41.559 Can so before you do anything else here, unshare the screen, 744 00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:44.480 type in your Wingling password and then hit the initialized 745 00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:46.320 button because it's going to show your password in plain 746 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:47.679 text for everybody on stream. 747 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:50.519 Yeah, I got you, Okay, Oh look, it's a bunch 748 00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:52.599 of people ordered mystery boxes. I got to go look 749 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:56.239 screen when password. I don't remember what it is. I think, 750 00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:57.199 actually you know what I think. 751 00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:59.679 I do remember what it is, Jody, I got you, 752 00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:03.199 fam control F or command f if you're on the 753 00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:05.119 right team on. 754 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:10.719 The team okay, and they click initialize after. 755 00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:17.000 That, Yeah, and it should automatically reboot. It should actually 756 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:19.360 even say it. 757 00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:21.519 Says changes applied reboot for changes to take effect. 758 00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:23.159 Oh so you have to hit the reboot button. 759 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:23.599 Yeah. 760 00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:26.599 Yeah, And we totally share this out except you know 761 00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:29.440 people already impersonate Jason enough. There's even a ham Radio 762 00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:30.000 three dot. 763 00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.639 Zho I know I saw that. Yeah, no, it's it 764 00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:37.800 came up and it said it reset it, it reset 765 00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:39.719 all the fields, but it said changes applied at the 766 00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:42.239 bottom and it had a reboot button. So right now 767 00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:44.679 it says DIGIPI will be available on this ip in 768 00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.000 approximately one minute, So it's rebooting right now. 769 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:49.920 So the other cool thing about this, and we talked 770 00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:51.599 about this a little bit when you're talking about power 771 00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:55.039 requirements and remote shut off stuff. The way Craig has 772 00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:57.920 set this image up, the sd card is read only. 773 00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:00.000 So there's two things that are going to come into 774 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:01.840 play with that. One is you can hard yank the 775 00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:04.239 power out from underneath of the Raspberry Pie and not 776 00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.760 hurt the file system, which is a great big no systems. 777 00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:08.400 Yes. 778 00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.079 But the other thing to be aware of. Is that like, 779 00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:13.679 if you're doing FT eight on this you're you're going 780 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:15.280 to lose your log. So if you do a parks 781 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:18.440 on the air activation using this device, which you can do, 782 00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:20.440 and then you turn it off and go home to 783 00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:23.320 upload your logs later, you don't have logs later. You've 784 00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:23.760 just done. 785 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:26.800 You've just lost because it's because it's read only. 786 00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:30.199 Yep, it'll FT eight all day long, but you once 787 00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:32.280 you pull the power, it hasn't saved anything. 788 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:35.159 Gotcha, gotcha, got you got got gotcha? Hmmm. 789 00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:37.880 Okay, Craig doesn't f T eight, doesn't uh doesn't PoTA 790 00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.880 he does f T eight, so he hasn't fixed that yet. 791 00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:44.320 Okay, Yeah, that that that would that would be frustrating 792 00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:48.599 because ws j T just has that auto logger back 793 00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:49.280 into the Yes. 794 00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:51.280 Yeah, I totally expect to go home and just copy 795 00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.000 the last ten lines out of the log right right. 796 00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:55.800 Exactly. 797 00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.320 You'd probably back up by now. 798 00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:06.760 Let's is all right. 799 00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:13.559 So Curtis and Lee are talking about DIGIPI versus digi rig. 800 00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:16.480 Those are two separate things. The digi rig is the 801 00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:20.920 small black box USB sound interface and DIGIPI is the 802 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.360 software that you run on a Raspberry Pie to do 803 00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:26.159 things with the digi rig interface. So you need both 804 00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:27.280 of those. Yeah, there you go. 805 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:29.039 This is a digi rig right here. 806 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.400 Yeah, so like you can't install FT eight on a 807 00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:33.880 digit rig, right. 808 00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.079 Yeah, it's just a sound card interface as all it is. 809 00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:38.920 So okay, yeah, it's uh it's back up. 810 00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:44.800 Good, awesome, all right, So now hit the wind Link 811 00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:46.920 email server button, turn it on with your seven oh 812 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.679 five connected, and you're done. 813 00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:52.000 Let me uh, let me grabn. 814 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:56.679 Like it's that simple, really, So I just plugged this. 815 00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:59.199 I just power this. I'm power the seven o five one, 816 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:03.199 and we use the USB cable from the seven o 817 00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:06.000 five to the We use the micro USB. 818 00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.800 Yeah right, yeah, the only USB USB. 819 00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:13.480 When I think icon, I think USB B and I 820 00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:15.519 just had that my head. But of course, of course 821 00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:16.119 it's micro US. 822 00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:18.119 It's a small radio. They've got to use the small 823 00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:20.119 it's a micro radio. They have to use the micro USB. 824 00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:23.079 And you can get a USB C adapter to screw 825 00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:24.960 into your seven o five. I need to do that. 826 00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:30.079 Yeah, I saw that. They there's actually like a conversion 827 00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:32.599 you can do to to open up the radio and 828 00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:35.320 remove the US the micro USB and put in the USBC. 829 00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:38.519 But I'm told it doesn't actually add fast charging. It's 830 00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:41.440 just it's just a plug that's the same speed and 831 00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:45.360 bust rate and everything as micro USB. So I'm like, eh, whatever, 832 00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:46.639 So it does. 833 00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:48.719 It does two things for you. So if you if 834 00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:51.599 you have the what is the name of that tuner, 835 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:57.119 the m AT seven at, Yeah, that I know why 836 00:40:57.159 --> 00:40:59.920 they did it. I I kind of agree with it. 837 00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:01.960 I kind of don't. But the m AT seven oh 838 00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:04.360 five has a USB C connector on it like it 839 00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:06.719 should and the seven oh five has a micro USB 840 00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.000 like it shouldn't. So that's one thing is it gets 841 00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:11.599 gets you to only carry one cable for charging your 842 00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:14.840 tuner and connecting your radio to USB, so you don't 843 00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.320 need to carry two different cables. The second thing that 844 00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:19.000 it does is if you are the kind of person 845 00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:24.320 that uses an amplifier, the UH send ALC port is 846 00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:27.199 also replaced and the circuitry behind that is replaced to 847 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:29.880 be a little more robust. I don't use the kind 848 00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:35.360 of amplifiers that have that buffer requirement, the weird voltage 849 00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:38.320 spikes that would fry modern radios I use. I use 850 00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:41.119 the Zaigu XPA one twenty five VIA but thousands of 851 00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:44.679 contacts through it. Oh, just directly connected to the seven 852 00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:46.920 oh five. But if you were to connect like an 853 00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:51.159 ALADB or you know, other like old tube amp to it, 854 00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:53.800 you might get wild voltages that would fry your seven 855 00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:57.280 oh five. And the new thing is supposed to help 856 00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:59.360 with that. I'm not going to guarantee anything. I'm not 857 00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.639 going to talk out of school on it, but it's 858 00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:05.159 it's more robust. Okay, is the end of my knowledge. 859 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:10.280 Okay, I'm going to do something that I should probably 860 00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:13.440 have done already and plug an antenna into this thing. 861 00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.199 That might help too. Yeah, because once you have this 862 00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:17.920 wind link, which you haven't done yet, you're fine. Once 863 00:42:17.960 --> 00:42:20.400 you have the Windling Server one, it's going to start 864 00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:23.320 beaconing that hey I exist and I've done my ten 865 00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:25.000 minute SECID compliance. 866 00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:27.760 Oh okay, Okay, it's a short. 867 00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:29.719 Enough burst that it's probably not gonna hurt your radio, 868 00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:31.760 but you know, do the right hand thing. 869 00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:34.000 I've got the Yeah, No, I want to do it correctly. 870 00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:36.920 I've got the I've got the seven o five in 871 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:42.199 this armelot cage and it's got a B and C 872 00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:43.639 connector on it, and I don't have a B and 873 00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:45.480 c antenna here with me. So I'm gonna run in 874 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:47.599 the house and I'm gonna get one of my signal sticks. 875 00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:49.480 I think Frank and I will handle it. 876 00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:52.239 I think, yeah, yeah, I think you guys can hold on. 877 00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:54.079 Let me make sure people can see Frank. 878 00:42:55.800 --> 00:42:59.679 There, I am Hey, what is up? What did the 879 00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:01.159 two screen goes? 880 00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:04.800 Oh? There it is right there. There, it is right there. Okay, good, yeah, 881 00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:06.480 so let me go. Let me go to that. 882 00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:09.559 I know, yeah, there it is. 883 00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:13.119 Welcome to the Frank and Teo Show. 884 00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:18.400 So today our topic is takeovers? Are they good or bad? 885 00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:19.320 On live streams? 886 00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:22.119 They are fantastic on live streams. As a matter of fact, 887 00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:24.079 this stream just got three better. 888 00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:29.719 Oh I do agree, I do agree. So, uh, how 889 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:31.920 how is the other live streaming going that that we're 890 00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:33.000 stepping on right now? 891 00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:34.800 Are we stepping on another line? 892 00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:34.960 Oh? 893 00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:37.880 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't watch 894 00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:38.360 that channel. 895 00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:41.280 Yeah, I don't know. He's not even ready he had 896 00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:43.880 run inside. But what kind of host does that? 897 00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:46.079 Does he think? This is Ham Nuggets on Monday Night 898 00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:48.599 on temporarily offline Ham Radio, the show where we do 899 00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:52.480 everything real time with zero preparation, on purpose. 900 00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:54.960 Or that great tech show. You know, it's every other 901 00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:57.840 Sunday Tank Radio where he's lately he's been doing deep 902 00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:02.480 dives into technology, and he talked about All Star and 903 00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:05.119 I honestly I forgot what the other live string is 904 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:05.840 I did this year? 905 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:09.599 The other lives you've done this year because there's only 906 00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:10.920 been two every other Sundays. 907 00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:16.119 I know, right coming up next Sunday, I have Hammers. 908 00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:18.360 We're going to talk about what the new Hammers pro 909 00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:19.159 is and what. 910 00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:21.559 Did he gets you? Is Jared coming? 911 00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:25.360 Yes he is awesome in the follow up email, but yes, 912 00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:27.559 that's what's on the schedule right now. 913 00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:28.920 Yay, awesome. 914 00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.360 What do he got coming up? On Nuggets? 915 00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:36.599 So we have been doing a series on TNC's terminal 916 00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:41.000 node controllers, trying to revive nineteen eighties hardware, and we're 917 00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:43.920 at the point where we totally skipped over the nineteen 918 00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.000 eighties hardware. We got it to kind of work, but 919 00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:51.239 there's three or four things that you have to overcome. 920 00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:54.079 One is you have to have the TNC itsself working. 921 00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:55.840 Two as you have to have the right cable for 922 00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:57.880 the radio. Three as you have to have the radio 923 00:44:57.920 --> 00:44:59.800 in the right mode. I guess there's five things radio, 924 00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:02.159 and the right mode four is you have to be 925 00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:04.440 on the right frequency talking to somebody else who has 926 00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.480 all of these four things set up properly as well. Wow, 927 00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:10.960 And then both of you have to have the same 928 00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:15.239 configuration on your software. Oh six, and the band has 929 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:17.039 to be open. So if I was trying to reach 930 00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:19.400 you on twenty meters, as an example, we would have 931 00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.639 to have one percent of the same exact CAFIG And 932 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:25.039 nobody knows how to do this anymore. Most people have 933 00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:28.480 just inherited this stuff. So it's it's interesting trying to 934 00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:30.199 go back down this And once I get it figured out, 935 00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:32.679 then we're going to go a little farther forward. So 936 00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:34.400 Monday night I've been putting it off. I got to 937 00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:36.159 build some more cables. Money net. We're gonna build some 938 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:40.440 cables and rant about where the state of ham radio is. Again. 939 00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:44.840 That's so fun. I want to see past panels. Do 940 00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:48.079 internet pass panels like a voiceover IP. 941 00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:58.920 Oh okay, yeah, yeah, the old the old switchboard, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 942 00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:56.960 That's an idea. 943 00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:00.199 Okay, I've seen it with the PL two P so 944 00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.639 two thirty nine's on it and you do that to 945 00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:04.920 switch antennas and then you you have a third panel 946 00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.320 that's just all grounds, so when you go home at night, 947 00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:08.079 you ground everything. 948 00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:11.480 Now we have a waterfall, okay. 949 00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:15.320 And somebody in the chat mentioned that digipie the software 950 00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:21.800 boots up into APRS mode automatically, so really, yeah, so 951 00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:26.159 beware of turning it on. And if you look back 952 00:46:26.199 --> 00:46:30.559 at your screen, share you can tell that it's on 953 00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:33.440 or off. Share that out again and I'll share. 954 00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:35.880 Okay, that is right. 955 00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:37.480 You can get Frank off the screen for the love 956 00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:42.440 of God, man, Okay, so you're lucky. The first option 957 00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:45.559 says APRS tnc iGATE and by like the guy in 958 00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:48.679 the chat said, I forget your name. I'm sorry, but 959 00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:50.360 we got a little busy when you left, and Frank 960 00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:54.320 and I were talking that APRS tnc iGATE will be 961 00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:57.159 on and that gray column down the left hand side 962 00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:00.119 it will actually be green, saying that it's on. But 963 00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:01.159 it's not on right now. 964 00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:03.119 No, nothing's on right now. 965 00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:08.159 So and that might be because your APRS passcode didn't work. 966 00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:12.000 Ah, yes, I did not populate my APRS passcode, so 967 00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:16.679 or it might not be just okay, spitballing, all right, 968 00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:18.920 So I need to click when link email server on. 969 00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:23.519 Radio is connected antenna is connected, you're on a frequency 970 00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:25.440 that's clear. That's the other thing we got to talk about. 971 00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:26.800 If you are going to set up a win link 972 00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:29.679 server full time in your area, make sure you find 973 00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:34.079 a clear frequency in the Gentleman's agreement data portion of 974 00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:36.360 the band, which I don't know even what that is. 975 00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:42.920 And then you know, so like one four three to zero, 976 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:44.599 I guess if that's still in band. 977 00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:46.400 I got a question it is. 978 00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:48.840 It's I put I'm at one forty four two fifty 979 00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:49.679 right now. 980 00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:52.079 Good for me, And that's take it in FM mode. 981 00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:55.679 M Yeah, it's FM it and then it's got to 982 00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:58.000 be FM D FM data. 983 00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:01.719 Okay, yeah, there we go. Okay, all right, good. I 984 00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:04.320 don't have my I was looking for my radio camera 985 00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:06.880 earlier and I don't have it connected up right now, 986 00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:08.719 so I can't show you guys the radio. Sorry about that. 987 00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:11.719 But the important part is the screen that we're sharing 988 00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:12.199 right now. 989 00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:15.440 Yeah. So Don is talking in the chat as Don 990 00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:18.159 likes to. He says, I appreciate Craig's work, but I 991 00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:20.920 prefer seventy three Linux in the WAYKM for eck manages 992 00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:23.920 his load. I agree with you one hundred percent. They're 993 00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:28.039 different beasts for different purposes. So Craig has designed something 994 00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:29.519 that can fit in your pocket and you take it 995 00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:31.320 with you and just get on the air and do 996 00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:35.039 stuff real quick. And Jason has made a desktop platform 997 00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:38.280 that's a little more robusts. They serve two different masters, 998 00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:40.320 if that makes any sense. So they're both good work, 999 00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:42.800 but they're different target audiences. 1000 00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:46.480 Right, that makes sense. Okay, all right, we're in FMD mode. 1001 00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:49.199 And I wasn't saying that to alliterate for the rest 1002 00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:51.079 of the viewers. I was saying that specifically to pick 1003 00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:52.400 on Don because he's my friend. 1004 00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:57.119 Yeah, no, I get you. Okay, all right, are we 1005 00:48:57.199 --> 00:48:58.519 good to click on? 1006 00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:03.239 Yeah the radio USB cable? Yes only, so click it. 1007 00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:05.639 The only reason why this wouldn't work is because you 1008 00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:08.760 had the pie booted and you didn't have the radio connected. 1009 00:49:08.840 --> 00:49:11.199 That that may or may not be an issue. See 1010 00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:11.840 how it went green? 1011 00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:14.880 Yeah it's green. Now okay, yeah, that's the only thing 1012 00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:15.360 that's green. 1013 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:18.119 Yep, that's it. So if you scroll down to the 1014 00:49:18.119 --> 00:49:19.679 bottom where those blue links are. 1015 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:24.360 Yes, uh oh, you can't see that. Hold on, Okay, yeah, 1016 00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:25.079 there we go. 1017 00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:27.760 So the third column, second from the bottom says pkt 1018 00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.159 log packet log. If you click on that, it should 1019 00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:32.880 open up another tab and it will give you a 1020 00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:37.159 real time update. And if you know, you know, this 1021 00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:41.039 is dire wolf And there you go. You got an error. 1022 00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:43.400 And the error, like I said, is because you didn't 1023 00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:45.159 have the radio connected when you booted the pie. So 1024 00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:46.679 I would just go back to the other tab and 1025 00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:51.760 there's a save config. Click that save config yes, yep, 1026 00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:55.639 and then click the reboot buttons and these are both instant. Yeah. 1027 00:49:55.800 --> 00:50:00.159 Like you click reboot, it's already rebooted. Really, yeah, I 1028 00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:03.000 mean it's not. It doesn't like doesn't predict the future. 1029 00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:04.639 It doesn't know. But like when you click the button, 1030 00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.119 it sends the reboot command and gives you zero feedback. 1031 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:08.440 It's instant, harsh. 1032 00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:12.599 Oh yes, no okay, so it says restarting DIGIPI right now. Okay, 1033 00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:16.400 it's not it's all you mean that fat? No? No, no, yeah, 1034 00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:20.599 no I would It doesn't. It doesn't get the idiot windows. 1035 00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:24.039 Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Yeah? 1036 00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:24.599 I get you. 1037 00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:28.159 So, let's so, what's the frequency? In the chat is 1038 00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.880 saying most of VHF gateway for wind Link are between 1039 00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:33.960 one forty four ninety and one forty five ninety and 1040 00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:37.000 increments of ten killer hurt. So there you go. 1041 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:39.920 The one that's close to me that i've been using here, 1042 00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:41.679 I see that, Thank you for that. The one that 1043 00:50:41.679 --> 00:50:43.440 that's close to me in south Lake here is one 1044 00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:48.199 forty four dot nine one uh nine one oh. That's 1045 00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:50.559 the one I've been using for the last perfect since 1046 00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:53.119 I got back from Orlando. One forty four nine one oh. 1047 00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:56.559 So I don't want to be near that one. But 1048 00:50:56.880 --> 00:51:00.320 uh but that's good info. So one forty five. 1049 00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:04.719 And why this is rebooting? Why do we have to 1050 00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:08.880 select a specific frequency that's not already in use? Isn't 1051 00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:11.880 when kind of like a PRS, where it's just a 1052 00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:13.719 common frequency that we all use. 1053 00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:18.239 It can be, but it's not. If you have two 1054 00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:21.360 gateways that I can hear in the same time, Like 1055 00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:24.079 if I'm physically like ten miles from each gateway on 1056 00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:27.840 two meters, then we're gonna have collisions? Is it? 1057 00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:29.639 Because it Think of it. 1058 00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:32.519 It's not like APRS is a is all receive only 1059 00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:36.280 you need to the the pie that we're setting up 1060 00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:37.519 now needs to transmit back. 1061 00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:39.280 It does need to transmit back. 1062 00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:41.440 Yes, think of it like a think of it like 1063 00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:47.159 a repeater, Frank the repeater. There can't be a more 1064 00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:50.679 than one in the area, so they would interfere with 1065 00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:53.199 one another unless they're on a different pel tone, I guess. 1066 00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:54.800 But well, if they're on it, I agree with one 1067 00:51:54.840 --> 00:51:56.960 hundred percent. If they're on a different pl tone, you 1068 00:51:57.039 --> 00:52:00.159 still have the frequency capture effect issue. Yes, like I 1069 00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:02.480 won't hear you, you won't interfere with like me wanting 1070 00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:05.840 to listen to repeater A, but I can't hear it 1071 00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:08.639 while you're talking. I won't hear you on it, but 1072 00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:09.800 I also can't hear it. 1073 00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:12.440 So the piece, the piece I'm missing in my mind 1074 00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:15.960 is it's a two way communication path instead of like APRS, 1075 00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:18.519 it's a one way me sending it to the gateway. 1076 00:52:18.519 --> 00:52:20.960 There's not really much coming back from the game. 1077 00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:23.760 No, APRS is two way also, But everybody think of 1078 00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:27.039 APRS as like a worldwide repeater. Everyone is on the 1079 00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:31.440 same frequency because that's where everybody's talking. So it's not 1080 00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:33.239 like you and me having a conversation on the U 1081 00:52:33.239 --> 00:52:35.119 Liss repeater and two other guys on the Hearst repeater. 1082 00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:39.519 Everyone's on the same repeater because all of your APRS 1083 00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:44.000 gate igates and digit peters are on one three ninety. 1084 00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:48.079 Now you can have an APRS. 1085 00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:49.760 But what collision will still happen. 1086 00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:54.039 So the difference is that win link if I We're 1087 00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:56.239 getting farther down the path and I'm not walking about it, 1088 00:52:56.280 --> 00:52:57.400 I just want to let people in the chat and 1089 00:52:57.400 --> 00:52:58.320 know people who are watching. 1090 00:52:58.960 --> 00:52:59.559 I'm curious. 1091 00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:04.320 What yeah, yeah, So remember remember dial up internet days 1092 00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:07.039 when you would send and receive email. You get, you know, 1093 00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:09.480 forty emails in your inbox, you'd reply to all of them, 1094 00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:11.400 they'd all queue up in your outbox. Then you'd hit 1095 00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:14.719 send and receive again. When you do that on wind link, 1096 00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:18.079 it's the exact same paradigm as like AOL dial up email. 1097 00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:21.480 When you do that on wind link, you're tying up 1098 00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:24.920 that frequency for the entire duration of your transmit of 1099 00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:27.840 thirty messages that you have replied to and queued up 1100 00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:30.480 for sending. And APRS, on the other hand, is pack 1101 00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:33.480 it off, pack it off, pack it off, and there 1102 00:53:33.480 --> 00:53:37.800 are collisions, but not not a whole lot because it's 1103 00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:41.199 packet off, packet off, where wind link is packet Get 1104 00:53:41.239 --> 00:53:43.800 out of my way. I'm sending packets. I'm still sending packets. 1105 00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:45.360 Who do you think you are get off my frequency. 1106 00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:47.960 I'm sending packets and nobody else can use it that 1107 00:53:48.119 --> 00:53:50.599 entire time, which is fine if it's a you know, 1108 00:53:50.840 --> 00:53:54.159 me talking to the server. But if it's twelve servers 1109 00:53:54.199 --> 00:53:57.719 and two thousand people all trying to share the same frequency, 1110 00:53:58.039 --> 00:54:02.000 that's where all the collision nonsense comes in. And there's 1111 00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:05.440 ways around it, but not smart ways around it. Kick 1112 00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:06.880 it too far in the weeds. 1113 00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:09.840 All right, that took that took a couple of minutes 1114 00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:13.679 to reboot, but awesome when when the email service. 1115 00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:17.320 So scroll up again, maybe your your apr S is on. Nope, okay, 1116 00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:19.679 sometimes it's not. Sometimes it comes on. 1117 00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:23.000 Maybe it was trying to come on when it was rebooted, 1118 00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:25.519 but it's still said rebooting down at the bottom. So 1119 00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:27.719 and then the page refresh and it's not on now, 1120 00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:30.280 so okay, so now you might need. 1121 00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:32.079 To turn that off if that green light for a 1122 00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:34.440 pr S is on, and then turn on Winley because 1123 00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:36.800 they both use a different Direwolf config but the same 1124 00:54:36.840 --> 00:54:39.199 dire Wolf software. Hit that packet log again. 1125 00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:50.400 Packet okay, boop, Okay, so far so good. Unverified server 1126 00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:55.800 TC T two c A east. So where does the 1127 00:54:56.199 --> 00:54:59.920 where does the Okay, it says case five A should 1128 00:54:59.920 --> 00:55:01.840 be two. I think we're supposed to be dashed ten. 1129 00:55:01.880 --> 00:55:02.840 I don't remember where. 1130 00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:05.480 We set a society that's internal. 1131 00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:11.480 Okay, So where does the authorization that I had to 1132 00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:15.920 get from the win Link gateway admins is? Where does 1133 00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:18.159 that come into play? Like like, when this key's up 1134 00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:19.960 and tries to connect, will it not connect if I 1135 00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:21.159 don't have the proper authorization? 1136 00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:21.960 Is that what he's doing? 1137 00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:22.360 Right? 1138 00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:26.360 So, your your client, your other radio, your other computer, 1139 00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:29.639 your other whatever down the street, not the server that 1140 00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:33.039 we just set up. When you try to connect, the 1141 00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:36.880 server then phones home, and when the server phones home, 1142 00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:39.960 it says you're authorized and continues the transaction, or it 1143 00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:42.519 says you're not authorized and shuts off the transaction. 1144 00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:47.519 Gotcha, gotcha? Okay, So it's not actually it hadn't actually 1145 00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:49.280 done that yet because I haven't connected to it with 1146 00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:51.800 a client, right, Okay. 1147 00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:54.079 I don't know if that line that you have there 1148 00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:57.840 it still says APRS trying to read all that stuff, 1149 00:55:57.840 --> 00:55:59.480 and it's a little small on my side. 1150 00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:02.039 It says, uh, well, the first line says APR s 1151 00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:05.800 C two dot one dot nineteen, and then some numbers 1152 00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:08.199 and then it says log r e s P case 1153 00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:13.239 five HWB dash two unverified server T two c A 1154 00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:16.639 East and then the third line says KC five HWB 1155 00:56:16.760 --> 00:56:17.199 dash two. 1156 00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:21.760 And yeah, see how it says above that it says 1157 00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:25.159 now connected to igates server NAM, which is North America. 1158 00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:26.920 I think we need to go back to the main 1159 00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:32.199 page and stop turn hit off on win link email server. 1160 00:56:33.400 --> 00:56:33.800 Okay. 1161 00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:35.880 And then if you go back to the packet log page, 1162 00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:39.960 see how there it is yep, Okay, this is what 1163 00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:42.960 I was talking about, turned green there. So what happened 1164 00:56:43.039 --> 00:56:45.840 is is that we were impatient. It booted up and 1165 00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:48.119 we didn't wait long enough for it to settle. It 1166 00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:51.239 stayed out, and like the gentleman mentioned earlier in the chat, 1167 00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:54.000 Digpie boots up into APRS mode. So hit the off 1168 00:56:54.039 --> 00:56:57.320 on APRS okay. And then if you go back to 1169 00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:00.440 packet log, you should see that it's shutting down or 1170 00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:04.960 has shut down, or it's just gonna be hard off. Okay, awesome, Craig. 1171 00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:10.159 Go back to the other page logging, okay, turn this 1172 00:57:10.239 --> 00:57:13.360 back on. Yeah, and then when you hit packet log 1173 00:57:13.400 --> 00:57:17.760 you should see it start up in win link mode. 1174 00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:21.239 Darwolf and did you. 1175 00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:23.719 Yeah, there it is. See how it says reading canfig 1176 00:57:23.760 --> 00:57:26.920 file slash run slash direwolf dot wind link dot com. 1177 00:57:27.280 --> 00:57:29.800 And it's the top of that bottom paragraph, the first line. 1178 00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:34.119 Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, yeah, I see that. 1179 00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:37.000 Okay, okay, And I do believe you can like drag 1180 00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:39.000 over that copy and paste style with your mouse if 1181 00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:40.360 you wanted to highlight it. I don't know if it's 1182 00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:42.199 gonna Yeah, there you go. The way people are in 1183 00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:43.000 the chat can't see it. 1184 00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:43.760 Yeah, okay. 1185 00:57:47.880 --> 00:57:51.840 Interesting. Still why is it doing that? 1186 00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:59.000 I haven't even touched I mean, yeah, terminating after audio 1187 00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:00.559 device input failure. 1188 00:58:03.079 --> 00:58:05.639 We can get in the weeds of troubleshooting this on Linux. 1189 00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:09.679 And Freddy in the chat is asking will Apier has 1190 00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:11.880 come back on every boot? Yes, that's a default that 1191 00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:14.920 Craig has set up. I don't know why, it just is. 1192 00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:19.159 I wonder how you can turn that off, or maybe 1193 00:58:19.159 --> 00:58:22.960 you can't turn that off. Audio output start ERA No 1194 00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:27.920 such device audio output start air audio right error retry 1195 00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:30.880 count exceeded audio. 1196 00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:32.840 So what it's trying to do right now is connect 1197 00:58:32.840 --> 00:58:34.800 to the port on the seven oh five. Do you 1198 00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:37.679 have a power only cable or do you have a 1199 00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:41.159 power and data cable. That's probably the easiest thing, is it. 1200 00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:43.280 No, this is the cable. This is the cable that 1201 00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:45.480 I use. I keep with the seven o five. I've 1202 00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:49.320 used this for WSJTX multiple times, so it is a 1203 00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:50.679 it is a dable cable. 1204 00:58:51.079 --> 00:58:53.559 Jeff is asking about canfig on the seven oh five. 1205 00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:58.000 That's also a good question. Yeah, it turned Collins right, 1206 00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:02.480 it turned into Annet's episode. You have FT eight D 1207 00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:03.679 on this radio recently? 1208 00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:07.960 Not recently? No, but I mean, actually that's not true. 1209 00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:09.800 I did on New Year's Day. Yeah, so a got 1210 00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:10.880 a month ago and. 1211 00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:12.519 You haven't changed down the settings because there is a 1212 00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.519 there's a setting where that what is it the data 1213 00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:18.719 off mod or whatever it is inside of the seven 1214 00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:22.360 oh five. I think the seven o five defaults to 1215 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:24.559 it being on properly or whatever. 1216 00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:28.559 I'm not I don't remember that one. What I do 1217 00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:32.000 know is I've never done FT eight on two meters 1218 00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:34.280 with this radio. I don't know if that makes in 1219 00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:35.000 a difference or not. 1220 00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:38.480 It shouldn't you had this thing connected up to HDMMI 1221 00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:40.840 did you have a keyboard and mouse plugged in? Also, 1222 00:59:41.159 --> 00:59:43.480 we're just a keyboard. Okay, switch back over to that 1223 00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:45.880 view and we'll make sure you're seven o five is connected. 1224 00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:52.199 It is usually not this difficult to do. Let's se 1225 00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:55.519 there's some configuration issues, so we'll do some quick trouble shooting. 1226 00:59:55.519 --> 00:59:58.280 We'll see. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine for most people. 1227 00:59:58.320 --> 01:00:02.519 This will just work. Profile inside of the seven oh 1228 01:00:02.599 --> 01:00:04.840 five there is a profile that you can select which 1229 01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:06.960 will open up all the bandwidth and set all the 1230 01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:10.719 proper stuff. So the seven oh five has about a 1231 01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:14.280 billion settings inside of it, and you can set them 1232 01:00:14.280 --> 01:00:16.840 all up the way you want for whatever service you're using. 1233 01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:18.239 Like if you're a Ritty fan and you've got it 1234 01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:20.159 all set up for Riddy with the proper bandwidth and 1235 01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:23.480 spacing and everything, then you can create a profile called 1236 01:00:23.480 --> 01:00:25.920 Britty profile and save it, and then you can switch 1237 01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:30.719 back to sideband profile. So the user ID is PI 1238 01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:47.199 and the password is Raspberry, So log in as PI Raspberry. 1239 01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:43.679 Under voltage detected. 1240 01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:47.000 Yeah, that's a thing with Raspberry pies. That's a pain 1241 01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:55.559 in the butt. Type in ls USB and I see 1242 01:00:55.599 --> 01:01:03.599 Texas instruments somethings, and you see a microchip technology. 1243 01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:08.559 Logitech is the logit is the DEVISO five, the Logitech. 1244 01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:11.840 It's a wireless dongle that's in there for the cure keyboard. 1245 01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:12.079 Ye. 1246 01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:14.920 So if you unplug your seven oh five and then 1247 01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:18.199 type L s USB again, we're gonna see that this 1248 01:01:18.239 --> 01:01:20.719 doesn't change because you're seven oh five is probably not 1249 01:01:20.719 --> 01:01:23.320 connected properly. No, I see it on there, Prolific Technology. 1250 01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:26.159 I see seven oh five. Yeah. So now type L 1251 01:01:26.239 --> 01:01:28.159 s USB again and you'll see that some things have 1252 01:01:28.239 --> 01:01:31.320 disappeared out of the list, right, correct. So we lost 1253 01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:34.800 the Texas Instruments thing, which is the the sound card 1254 01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:37.239 that's inside of the seven oh five, And we lost 1255 01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:41.320 the Prolific Technology thing, which is the serial port inside 1256 01:01:41.320 --> 01:01:50.400 of the seven oh five. Okay, so plug them back in, okay, 1257 01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:53.239 and then if you run L s USB, you'll see 1258 01:01:53.280 --> 01:01:55.480 them pop up again. The other thing to do is 1259 01:01:55.639 --> 01:02:01.119 a record a record space dash A. I think it's 1260 01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:06.719 a record. 1261 01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:07.360 Invalid option space dash it. 1262 01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:07.840 What is it? 1263 01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:12.199 I'm not at my console right now. It's the it's 1264 01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:23.239 the command that enumerates the devices inside of also m hmmm, 1265 01:02:23.360 --> 01:02:25.320 oh yeah, I'm trying to remember off top me let me. 1266 01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:26.760 I can't get one of my machines here. 1267 01:02:26.800 --> 01:02:27.840 I can't remember what that is. 1268 01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:32.880 Yeah, he'll Billy Ham saying it looks like a setting 1269 01:02:32.880 --> 01:02:34.119 inside the seven o five is not. 1270 01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:38.119 That's probably what it is. Yeah, that's probably what it is. Now, 1271 01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:40.440 if we're gonna do the FT sixty five, is it 1272 01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:42.519 still going to be USB radio for that one setting? 1273 01:02:43.880 --> 01:02:46.679 The FT sixty five is going to be digi rig. 1274 01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:49.119 It'll be digi rig. There's an actual digi rig setting. 1275 01:02:49.159 --> 01:02:49.519 That's right. 1276 01:02:49.559 --> 01:02:52.320 Yeah, okay, and again it's going to be properly configured 1277 01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:54.239 to run on the Digi rig. There's just something going 1278 01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:55.480 on in Jason seven o five. 1279 01:02:55.719 --> 01:02:59.360 Yeah, let's see there's this seven o five is like 1280 01:02:59.519 --> 01:03:03.920 from the when the radio was brand new. Okay, Jody says, 1281 01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:07.000 a record dash L dash L. 1282 01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:09.440 Why did I think it was? Yeah, do a record 1283 01:03:09.480 --> 01:03:14.440 dash L. Jody's right, he's he's a smart guy. Yeah, 1284 01:03:14.440 --> 01:03:18.079 there you go. And it says card zero, device is zero. Okay, 1285 01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:24.079 do type in LS and you should see a Direwolf 1286 01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:26.920 dot win link dot CONFIGU in the current directory. 1287 01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:32.199 Dardar wolf dot. 1288 01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:33.639 Maybe he's moved it. 1289 01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:39.079 I've got did you Peter Darwick node TNC three hundred 1290 01:03:39.079 --> 01:03:43.280 b t n C can fig I don't like that 1291 01:03:43.480 --> 01:03:46.280 LS view it's LS space dash L. I think it's 1292 01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:50.760 easier to use. Puts it in a list format. Here, 1293 01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:56.880 let's see. Oh and now my okay, now my i'm 1294 01:03:56.960 --> 01:04:00.800 it doesn't like the mouse. Okay, that's fine. Let's see 1295 01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:02.760 you said Direwolf. 1296 01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:05.480 What Direwolf dot win link dot com. 1297 01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:07.199 Yes there, yeah, that's there. 1298 01:04:07.960 --> 01:04:15.679 Okay. You type in less L L E S S 1299 01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:25.559 space Direwolf dot win link dot com and then just 1300 01:04:25.559 --> 01:04:28.519 press enter and it'll page out. But we're looking for 1301 01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:32.760 a device, So hit the right air at the bottom. 1302 01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:34.480 See how it's coming and out. Used the down row 1303 01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:38.280 a couple of times and you should know. Wow, you 1304 01:04:38.360 --> 01:04:41.519 just got the I would say that your config didn't 1305 01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:48.559 work out right, hit Q to exit. Okay, ah, that's true. 1306 01:04:49.159 --> 01:04:49.320 Yeah. 1307 01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:51.199 See you've got your call sign up in there case 1308 01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:53.840 five hw B dash ten. That's set properly. 1309 01:04:55.440 --> 01:04:57.719 Oh yeah, okay, we didn't set the dash ten though. 1310 01:04:58.159 --> 01:04:58.239 No. 1311 01:04:58.360 --> 01:05:00.280 Like I said, it's all automatic inside. It does a 1312 01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:03.920 really good job on all right, but you're your configure 1313 01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:04.679 is not working right. 1314 01:05:04.840 --> 01:05:08.119 Uh, what's the frequency? We are in film data mode. 1315 01:05:08.199 --> 01:05:10.760 It is in fmdsh D mode, so we're there. Yes, 1316 01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:12.360 it does need to be there, but that's where we're at. 1317 01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:16.039 Yeah, and there's another setting deeper inside the menu, because 1318 01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:18.039 the seven O five does have a deep f menu. 1319 01:05:18.239 --> 01:05:19.119 It does it? Does? 1320 01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:21.599 I want you to unshare your screen because I think 1321 01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:23.199 they're right. This next file that I want to look 1322 01:05:23.239 --> 01:05:26.239 at is going to have before you unshare your screen, though, 1323 01:05:26.239 --> 01:05:27.960 type in LS so I can see the files that 1324 01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:30.159 are there because I can't remember the name of the 1325 01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:36.760 config file. Maybe it's config because I don't have my 1326 01:05:36.840 --> 01:05:41.880 digipi set up. Are you I have one, two, three, four, 1327 01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:44.800 five columns that I can see? Do you have more 1328 01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:45.360 columns than that? 1329 01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:45.639 Older? 1330 01:05:47.119 --> 01:05:49.599 Probably I have. I have this the screen zoomed in 1331 01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:52.760 right now so that it's easier to read. But yeah, yeah, 1332 01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:54.039 there's a lot of columns in that. 1333 01:05:54.840 --> 01:05:59.679 Okay, go into the configure so do CD space config 1334 01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:06.000 CD for change directory and then do an LS in there. 1335 01:06:08.920 --> 01:06:13.480 And I don't see it. I forget where Craig saves 1336 01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:14.400 his config. 1337 01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:17.280 File, which canfig file for what? 1338 01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:19.480 For digipi itself? 1339 01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:23.119 Oh? Oh, okay, did YOUPI dot com for whatever? 1340 01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:26.280 Yeah, if you have one of those, I can't read 1341 01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:28.880 one hundred percent of what's on your screen. That's a 1342 01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:29.760 zoom problem. 1343 01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:33.239 It is not, Yeah, it is not in that it 1344 01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:38.159 is not in that directory. 1345 01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:42.400 Yeah, I don't know that. It's I don't even know 1346 01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:43.320 what the file name is. 1347 01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:50.000 Uh, well, dig youpi dot com. 1348 01:06:50.320 --> 01:06:52.760 Michael, You're right, a device should be commented out, but 1349 01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:55.079 the one that had the comment still had the wrong 1350 01:06:55.119 --> 01:06:57.960 configuration in it. So it's I think digipi might not 1351 01:06:58.039 --> 01:07:03.000 be configured properly. Interesting, And what I would recommend you 1352 01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:06.159 do under normal circumstances is reburn the SD card and 1353 01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:08.519 go back through that initialized process that we had at 1354 01:07:08.519 --> 01:07:09.000 the beginning. 1355 01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:15.840 Oh okay, okay, okay, Lee, I'm. 1356 01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:19.599 Looking for the the digipiknfig file and I don't want 1357 01:07:19.639 --> 01:07:21.199 to like show it on the screen because it's going 1358 01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:23.599 to have all of his passwords in plain text and 1359 01:07:23.639 --> 01:07:30.079 you technically shouldn't edit it. Yeah, Jeff is right, data 1360 01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:32.320 mode to USB on the seven o five. Let me 1361 01:07:32.440 --> 01:07:34.960 pull out my seven o five and see if I 1362 01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:37.159 can play along with you on checking that setting. 1363 01:07:38.199 --> 01:07:44.960 Okay, Buried, Yeah, Yeah. 1364 01:07:43.199 --> 01:07:45.119 And it gets me every time because I took my 1365 01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:47.639 seventy one hundred to Hamcashen a couple of years ago. 1366 01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:51.320 I was playing with this exact setup and it would 1367 01:07:51.400 --> 01:07:55.039 never work, and I went, oh, usob, that's exactly what 1368 01:07:55.079 --> 01:07:57.559 the problem was, and the seventy one hundred was set 1369 01:07:57.639 --> 01:08:03.119 to not have data going over the USB port, USB 1370 01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:04.840 being universal serial bus, not. 1371 01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:06.960 Upper sidement. 1372 01:08:07.239 --> 01:08:10.280 Yeah yeah, because that's not confusing in Ham radio at all. 1373 01:08:10.280 --> 01:08:12.679 They shouldn't, right, Yeah, yeah totally. 1374 01:08:12.719 --> 01:08:17.960 Then you set connectors. 1375 01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:21.640 This is turning into a Nuggets episode. 1376 01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:25.279 Yeah yeah, okay. So on your seven O five uh 1377 01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:27.079 huh h, the hit the menu button. 1378 01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:27.760 Yep. 1379 01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:31.760 And then on page one lower left, lower right, sorry 1380 01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:34.840 is the set set? Yep, I'm there, And then scroll 1381 01:08:34.880 --> 01:08:37.199 down to page two of four you'll see connectors. It's 1382 01:08:37.199 --> 01:08:38.600 the second option from the bottom. 1383 01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:39.319 Yep. 1384 01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:43.439 Tap that. And then on page two of three there's 1385 01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:47.479 mod input m O D Yes, they like they couldn't 1386 01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:50.720 spare an extra character for the E m O D input. 1387 01:08:51.640 --> 01:08:53.960 And then the bottom of the first page there's data 1388 01:08:54.039 --> 01:08:57.039 mod Yes. I think it's actually modulation. I'm just picking 1389 01:08:57.039 --> 01:09:01.319 on icon and it should be USB. It is, okay, 1390 01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:08.359 So datam od is USB, so that's correct. I mean 1391 01:09:08.359 --> 01:09:10.119 it did show up in l S USB, So I 1392 01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:13.319 think we might have just pooched the configuration when we 1393 01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:16.439 first did this because you didn't have the I'm gonna 1394 01:09:16.439 --> 01:09:17.640 blame you because you're. 1395 01:09:17.479 --> 01:09:20.119 Here, because I didn't have the because I didn't have 1396 01:09:20.119 --> 01:09:22.520 the radio plugged in. Yeah, maze, So we have to 1397 01:09:22.560 --> 01:09:24.600 plug in the radio before we do the configuration. 1398 01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:27.000 Like I said, I'm only blaming you because you're here. 1399 01:09:27.039 --> 01:09:29.039 I don't want to talk bad about Craig behind his back. 1400 01:09:29.079 --> 01:09:31.680 That would talk about you in front of your back. 1401 01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:37.680 Sure, yeap makes sense. Well, we did call this an 1402 01:09:37.720 --> 01:09:44.840 easy an easy uh you know, easy setup, So we 1403 01:09:44.920 --> 01:09:47.159 had to we had to run into some roadblock somewhere. 1404 01:09:47.439 --> 01:09:49.399 Yeah, how long does your show normally go? Because we're 1405 01:09:49.399 --> 01:09:53.079 already past the hour mark. Where's Craig. I'm surprised Craig 1406 01:09:53.199 --> 01:09:54.000 is not watching. 1407 01:09:54.119 --> 01:09:55.560 One to one and a half hours. 1408 01:09:56.680 --> 01:09:58.479 Okay, So I mean we got time to reburn the 1409 01:09:58.520 --> 01:09:59.479 SD card and try again. 1410 01:10:01.720 --> 01:10:03.920 Yes, I could. I could do that. You want to 1411 01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:04.119 do that? 1412 01:10:04.720 --> 01:10:05.119 Sure? 1413 01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:08.399 Okay, I mean it's not gonna hurt anything. So all right, 1414 01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:10.840 so let me shut this down and. 1415 01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:12.239 You don't have to shut it down gracefully and just 1416 01:10:12.279 --> 01:10:15.760 turn it off because we're reburning the sty card. Okay, 1417 01:10:18.800 --> 01:10:20.800 it's not like tonight as Valentine's Day or anything. We 1418 01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:22.159 can we can stream all night. 1419 01:10:23.239 --> 01:10:25.600 Oh yeah, oh yeah. 1420 01:10:25.119 --> 01:10:27.079 Watch the frequency. You are absolutely correct. 1421 01:10:27.800 --> 01:10:29.800 I may have to go inside and get my card 1422 01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:32.399 reader because I have to turn this burn this card 1423 01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:33.640 on another computer. 1424 01:10:33.800 --> 01:10:36.840 So Frank and I got this. Yeah, I'm sure y'all 1425 01:10:36.840 --> 01:10:38.680 saw me lugging in the machine behind my head here 1426 01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:39.640 to start looking. 1427 01:10:43.640 --> 01:10:44.319 Let's see. 1428 01:10:45.560 --> 01:10:46.960 Yeah, now it's come on. 1429 01:10:48.199 --> 01:10:50.800 Okay, there we go. Yeah, all right, let me go 1430 01:10:50.840 --> 01:10:52.359 grab my card reader and I'll. 1431 01:10:52.239 --> 01:10:55.000 Be right back. Yeah, Frank and I got this, all right, 1432 01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:55.600 I bet you do. 1433 01:10:58.279 --> 01:11:00.760 So on the second takeo' here. 1434 01:11:01.159 --> 01:11:05.359 Right again, I think I think we got three hundred 1435 01:11:05.359 --> 01:11:06.039 percent improvement. 1436 01:11:06.319 --> 01:11:10.720 I know, right, I agree, I agree. Anything fun and 1437 01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:12.079 new coming up on your channel? 1438 01:11:12.840 --> 01:11:15.039 Oh, always something fun and new coming up. 1439 01:11:16.720 --> 01:11:20.079 I was hoping. I was hoping this week coming weekend, 1440 01:11:20.119 --> 01:11:22.239 I was going to go to the park and I 1441 01:11:22.399 --> 01:11:26.840 was going to do some slow scan TV and I 1442 01:11:26.920 --> 01:11:28.439 was going to show how to set it up and 1443 01:11:28.479 --> 01:11:32.279 listen to help support the Pharmato launch. And I was like, 1444 01:11:32.399 --> 01:11:34.119 because a part of their mission is going to be 1445 01:11:34.319 --> 01:11:36.399 sending out slow scanned images, I was like, this is 1446 01:11:36.439 --> 01:11:39.079 how you do it with an HT if you have 1447 01:11:39.479 --> 01:11:41.680 a YAGY And then I think, if I have time 1448 01:11:41.720 --> 01:11:45.039 wise I do it for HF but it's still going 1449 01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:46.199 to be like thirty degrees. 1450 01:11:47.239 --> 01:11:48.760 Yeah, that kind of stinks. 1451 01:11:49.239 --> 01:11:51.039 And I could do it from the house, but it's 1452 01:11:51.039 --> 01:11:51.600 not the same. 1453 01:11:52.239 --> 01:11:59.000 Michael debug g eight hundred colon C nice. Okay, I 1454 01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:03.399 was fast, I know, right. Yeah, Frank and I worked 1455 01:12:03.399 --> 01:12:03.840 on talking. 1456 01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:08.079 I had all my stuff sitting on the kitchen table because. 1457 01:12:08.319 --> 01:12:14.800 John, what's the distance on a WINDLINGK gateway? Danny's asking, Danny, 1458 01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:17.960 It depends on which frequency you are on and whether 1459 01:12:18.000 --> 01:12:19.720 the band is open or not. Two meters is line 1460 01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:24.000 of sight obviously, well, not necessarily obviously, and then HF 1461 01:12:24.279 --> 01:12:30.119 is worldwide depending on band conditions. Okay, he spreaded, he 1462 01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:30.960 ain't even out of breath. 1463 01:12:31.000 --> 01:12:35.159 John, E drive, Let's do the eat. Oh it's coming 1464 01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:39.720 up as the f drive. It's dual part two. This 1465 01:12:39.720 --> 01:12:40.960 thing's dual partitioned. 1466 01:12:41.720 --> 01:12:45.760 Alan says, yeah, just blow it away. Alan saying, why 1467 01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:47.600 not avoid Linux and just install a wind Link on 1468 01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:53.159 a win ten PC because we don't like Windows. 1469 01:12:55.000 --> 01:12:55.720 What's he saying? 1470 01:12:55.760 --> 01:12:58.039 What's he he says? He says, why not just do 1471 01:12:58.079 --> 01:12:58.920 it on Windows? 1472 01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:01.520 Well, I have, I mean I have win Link Express 1473 01:13:01.560 --> 01:13:03.560 on Windows. But like kept saying at the beginning of 1474 01:13:03.560 --> 01:13:06.800 the stream. I've really enjoyed using WODE, and WOAD only 1475 01:13:06.840 --> 01:13:12.039 works with packet, so that's why we're doing a two 1476 01:13:12.079 --> 01:13:14.960 meter packet right now. So I don't I mean, I 1477 01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:17.760 I guess I could. I guess I could probably use 1478 01:13:17.760 --> 01:13:19.680 wind Link Express on Windows. When this is all said 1479 01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:22.279 and done, I just got to connect it to my The. 1480 01:13:22.239 --> 01:13:24.159 Short answer is there's more than one way to do it, 1481 01:13:24.279 --> 01:13:25.760 and this is this is one ring. 1482 01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:28.600 Yes, yes, very true. 1483 01:13:28.760 --> 01:13:30.640 Okay, Yeah, the whezing was frank John. 1484 01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:32.760 No, I haven't even done anything. 1485 01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:35.560 Yeah, so why are you out of breath? 1486 01:13:38.520 --> 01:13:39.199 Okay? 1487 01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:39.520 Did you? 1488 01:13:39.640 --> 01:13:42.800 Pie Don says Whin ten is going away soon. I 1489 01:13:42.800 --> 01:13:44.359 hope when eleven goes away soon. 1490 01:13:45.319 --> 01:13:51.359 No doubt. Yeah, I think I'm gonna think I'm gonna 1491 01:13:51.359 --> 01:13:54.000 do some episodes about trying to switch all my stuff 1492 01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:57.680 to Mint twenty two because I was talking to a 1493 01:13:57.760 --> 01:14:00.439 c K about that at Hamcshon. You know, I tried 1494 01:14:00.439 --> 01:14:03.119 to drop Windows about ten years ago, maybe twelve years ago, 1495 01:14:03.199 --> 01:14:06.399 something like that, and just too much. I'm like, I 1496 01:14:06.439 --> 01:14:09.760 don't feel like I don't feel like fighting with my 1497 01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:13.359 operating system. I need my computer to do stuff to do. 1498 01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:16.159 I don't need to convince it to do stuff every 1499 01:14:16.199 --> 01:14:17.359 time I want to go do stuff. 1500 01:14:17.399 --> 01:14:22.960 So the latestday breaks four apps really relying on where 1501 01:14:23.000 --> 01:14:25.760 the graphics driver doesn't work here but works over there. 1502 01:14:26.279 --> 01:14:27.840 Right, Yeah, Yeah. 1503 01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:30.199 The only problem you're going to have with switching in 1504 01:14:30.560 --> 01:14:33.960 our field switching over to Linux is the video editing. 1505 01:14:34.039 --> 01:14:36.079 There is not a good video editor on Linux. 1506 01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:37.880 I pay someone to do that for me. 1507 01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:41.239 So well, Lati da Yeah. 1508 01:14:42.439 --> 01:14:45.439 Well, and once I when I was on Jay Christina's channel, 1509 01:14:45.640 --> 01:14:47.520 he interviewed me. We were talking about him radio on 1510 01:14:47.560 --> 01:14:50.439 his channel because he's a starling guru, and I had 1511 01:14:50.520 --> 01:14:53.319 him on my channel. First, he uses OBS and he 1512 01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:58.000 live streams all from Linux, so he uses OBS on Linux. 1513 01:14:58.039 --> 01:15:02.880 He uses that VD Ninja streaming software which is all 1514 01:15:03.279 --> 01:15:06.399 browser based. That's what Kyle uses. Kyle told me about 1515 01:15:06.399 --> 01:15:08.399 that a long time ago, and and he's like, it's 1516 01:15:08.439 --> 01:15:11.359 all on, it's all on. He's like, I dropped Windows 1517 01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:13.079 a couple of years ago, and he's he's all on 1518 01:15:13.159 --> 01:15:15.119 Linux now, even with his live stream stuff. And I'm like, 1519 01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:23.000 that might be something worth worth checking into. So yeah, 1520 01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:26.680 I would probably do like a dual boot. Yeah, you know, 1521 01:15:26.840 --> 01:15:29.800 do like like because there's certain things on and I 1522 01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:32.239 was telling Jason like like like he hates Windows, and 1523 01:15:32.279 --> 01:15:34.760 I'm like, okay, that's fine. But when leak Express was 1524 01:15:34.800 --> 01:15:38.159 written for Windows, it's much much, much more robust than 1525 01:15:38.239 --> 01:15:42.159 wode or radio mail or pat wind Link or any 1526 01:15:42.199 --> 01:15:44.199 of these other applications that run kind of like a 1527 01:15:44.319 --> 01:15:46.479 light version of wind leak Express. There's a lot when 1528 01:15:46.560 --> 01:15:48.760 leak Express will do, so I wouldn't want to give 1529 01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:52.199 it up completely anyway, But this, I mean the same 1530 01:15:52.279 --> 01:15:54.720 is true for several other programs. I mean, I use 1531 01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:58.039 Photoshop and Premiere and those aren't I tried to use 1532 01:15:58.039 --> 01:16:00.800 Gimp one time several years ago. I'm like, this is terrible. 1533 01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:03.920 I mean, he's getting the toys for all my images. 1534 01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:08.479 But you're right if you're used to Adobe, so Photoshop. 1535 01:16:09.159 --> 01:16:12.119 Yeah, it's all of the shortcuts are different, All of 1536 01:16:12.159 --> 01:16:13.640 the shortcuts are different, and I just. 1537 01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:15.640 I cool different names differently. 1538 01:16:15.720 --> 01:16:20.800 Yeahs, Yeah, what version of the image are you using? 1539 01:16:20.840 --> 01:16:24.359 I am using one dot nine dash too two. 1540 01:16:24.760 --> 01:16:26.960 Yeah, doc like yesterday or today. 1541 01:16:27.600 --> 01:16:30.199 It was a couple of days ago, earlier this week. 1542 01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:34.560 But yeah, I don't like Gimp. I didn't. I was 1543 01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:37.239 really hoping I would like Gimp, and I just I didn't. 1544 01:16:37.319 --> 01:16:38.039 I didn't like it. 1545 01:16:38.600 --> 01:16:41.359 I just don't want to pay. 1546 01:16:41.600 --> 01:16:43.600 Well, I know a guy who works for Adobe, so 1547 01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:46.039 I get the whole sweek for like forty bucks a year. 1548 01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:49.760 So you know, it's all about who you know. 1549 01:16:50.319 --> 01:17:02.159 So I'm guessing the sty cards burning it is. 1550 01:17:02.319 --> 01:17:08.640 Uh, actually I'm I'm downloading, downloading for my cloud server, 1551 01:17:08.760 --> 01:17:12.239 which is where the the image is kept, because I 1552 01:17:12.279 --> 01:17:14.279 didn't I didn't burn it on this computer. I've got 1553 01:17:14.359 --> 01:17:17.199 like three or four PCs in my home here, so okay, 1554 01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:23.000 here it is, Mike, bring out the camp. Yeah. 1555 01:17:24.520 --> 01:17:29.960 Yes, it's the GNU Image manipulation program for those of 1556 01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:32.760 you that are easily offended, right, which shouldn't be any 1557 01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:34.279 of you here, right? 1558 01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:35.960 Yeah? Yeah, what are you doing on this stream? 1559 01:17:36.279 --> 01:17:38.800 Yeah? If you are, then you haven't really been paying 1560 01:17:38.840 --> 01:17:40.920 attention or Jason's just not doing a good enough job. 1561 01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:45.159 Can you run Vara FM on seventy three Linux? Yes? 1562 01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:50.880 You can, absolutely, mm hmm. Seventy three Linux is freaking awesome, 1563 01:17:51.760 --> 01:17:54.239 and uh, I'm gonna do some videos with it upcoming. 1564 01:17:54.279 --> 01:17:56.319 In fact, I've already I've already got it installed on 1565 01:17:56.319 --> 01:18:01.520 one machine. But I bought back when they were like 1566 01:18:01.640 --> 01:18:04.199 eighty bucks. I bought three of those of all Maestro 1567 01:18:04.399 --> 01:18:07.359 twelve laptops. So I've got one box I haven't even 1568 01:18:07.399 --> 01:18:21.680 opened yet. All right, so here it is dig youpie image. Okay, right, 1569 01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:25.800 I wish I could blow that partition out, though I 1570 01:18:25.800 --> 01:18:27.239 don't know if it's going to do that for me 1571 01:18:27.359 --> 01:18:27.560 or not. 1572 01:18:30.479 --> 01:18:31.159 Stop righted? 1573 01:18:32.880 --> 01:18:35.199 Uh, well, it doesn't bring up that drive letter as 1574 01:18:35.199 --> 01:18:41.439 an option. Let's see to manage. Let's try to It's Windows. 1575 01:18:42.720 --> 01:18:45.079 So let's go to disc management and see if I 1576 01:18:45.119 --> 01:19:04.760 could just delete those yeah, unallocated okay, delete volume, yes, good, 1577 01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:09.680 delete volume? Yes, what do you know? I did it 1578 01:19:09.720 --> 01:19:13.319 on Windows guys. I was able to nuke. I was 1579 01:19:13.359 --> 01:19:17.359 able to nuke my partitions on Windows Exit. 1580 01:19:19.960 --> 01:19:20.600 It's easy. 1581 01:19:22.319 --> 01:19:24.560 It's easy. If it it's easy, if it works the 1582 01:19:24.560 --> 01:19:26.680 way it's supposed to, which is not always the case. 1583 01:19:27.640 --> 01:19:31.399 If the flask drive is mounted correctly, I could do 1584 01:19:31.439 --> 01:19:32.880 it like three different ways. 1585 01:19:34.159 --> 01:19:39.600 Okay, here we go, right, Yes, okay, we are writing. 1586 01:19:40.840 --> 01:19:44.600 Awesome, and this is a condensed image, so it won't 1587 01:19:44.640 --> 01:19:50.600 take long to write it all. No, it's not that bad. 1588 01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:53.880 So North forty nine Radio is saying, do a video 1589 01:19:53.920 --> 01:19:57.680 on seventy three Lenux and there's so much in there, 1590 01:19:58.319 --> 01:20:02.239 and to Jason's credit the way that he wrote the software, 1591 01:20:02.279 --> 01:20:06.119 the installer is extremely robust and resilient. But it also 1592 01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:08.239 if we just live stream, did I think it would 1593 01:20:08.279 --> 01:20:10.119 take like an hour or two just to watch it 1594 01:20:10.399 --> 01:20:11.079 install itself? 1595 01:20:11.119 --> 01:20:13.800 Well, Jason and I I had Jason on a live 1596 01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:16.359 stream three or four years ago, and we did a 1597 01:20:16.439 --> 01:20:19.399 live install of the predecessor of seventy three Linux, which 1598 01:20:19.439 --> 01:20:22.399 was Build a Pie and it's based seventy three linuxes 1599 01:20:22.439 --> 01:20:26.840 basically Build a Pie version two two. I'm gonna call 1600 01:20:26.920 --> 01:20:28.520 it two point oh, I'm gonna call it kme for 1601 01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:30.039 a c K two point oh. That's what I'm gonna 1602 01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:36.079 call it. It's no, it's it's yeah, it's uh. And 1603 01:20:36.119 --> 01:20:38.039 we did a build and there was a bunch of 1604 01:20:38.079 --> 01:20:41.039 stuff in there that that you could turn off and 1605 01:20:41.079 --> 01:20:43.720 on or install or choose to install or choose to 1606 01:20:43.800 --> 01:20:47.680 use or something like that. So it was it was Yeah. 1607 01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:50.039 In seventy three Linux, I think is even more robust. 1608 01:20:50.119 --> 01:20:53.479 So we're going to I'm gonna do some I'm gonna 1609 01:20:53.520 --> 01:20:55.560 do some videos with it, but it's probably not gonna 1610 01:20:55.560 --> 01:20:57.520 be on a live stream. I'm probably gonna do multiple 1611 01:20:57.560 --> 01:21:02.600 videos with it. Actually, thirty one percent. We're going. It's 1612 01:21:02.600 --> 01:21:04.880 not writing that quickly, but it is writing. It's going. 1613 01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:14.880 So North forty nine Radio says he's got the time. 1614 01:21:15.239 --> 01:21:17.840 It's not about the time, it's about, you know, creating 1615 01:21:18.239 --> 01:21:21.439 something worth watching and watching rights the computer install its 1616 01:21:21.439 --> 01:21:23.239 own software while we talk about it is kind of 1617 01:21:23.239 --> 01:21:24.079 what we're doing right now. 1618 01:21:24.199 --> 01:21:25.960 It's kind of what we're doing right now. This was 1619 01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:27.159 not on the agenda for tonight. 1620 01:21:27.159 --> 01:21:34.159 But nevertheless, when once we get past this part, if 1621 01:21:34.199 --> 01:21:36.119 you have the audio the volume turned up on your 1622 01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:39.880 seven o five, you should hear it send out. It's beacon. Okay, 1623 01:21:42.680 --> 01:21:45.159 Don is correct. They compile the code and like I said, 1624 01:21:45.239 --> 01:21:47.840 Jason does a fantastic job on seventy three Linux. I 1625 01:21:47.880 --> 01:21:49.760 just wanted to put that out there that it takes 1626 01:21:49.760 --> 01:21:52.199 a while to do the install. 1627 01:21:52.520 --> 01:21:59.079 It does. Okay, while that's going, we're at fifty I'm 1628 01:21:59.079 --> 01:22:03.760 going to open sessions on woade M and I'm connected 1629 01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:08.600 to my UVA pro here and which is on the 1630 01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:24.600 frequency for the nearby repeater. There it goes that thinger focuses. Oh, 1631 01:22:24.640 --> 01:22:26.840 I know why it's not focusing. I've got I've got 1632 01:22:26.880 --> 01:22:33.319 it on manual focus receiving messages. 1633 01:22:36.560 --> 01:22:39.079 Nick asking can I use this on an FT five? Yes, 1634 01:22:39.119 --> 01:22:41.760 as long as you can get interfaced with your computer 1635 01:22:41.920 --> 01:22:44.079 or phone, you can use it on whatever radio you 1636 01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:50.439 have mm hmm cables and hardware and Bluetooth and so on. 1637 01:22:51.279 --> 01:23:01.439 Yeah. I was tinkering around with my moby linked TNC 1638 01:23:01.560 --> 01:23:04.199 four last night and I connected it to my FT 1639 01:23:04.399 --> 01:23:09.279 five and had it connected to APR asteroid just for 1640 01:23:09.319 --> 01:23:11.000 the heck of it, just because it's a hell of 1641 01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:13.279 a lot easier to send an APRS message with APR 1642 01:23:13.279 --> 01:23:14.119 asteroid than it is that. 1643 01:23:14.199 --> 01:23:39.359 Yesy radio. 1644 01:23:29.640 --> 01:23:31.439 And some of you have sent me emails. There you 1645 01:23:31.479 --> 01:23:40.159 go downloading now. Oh, sorry, didn't mean to do that. 1646 01:23:42.119 --> 01:23:42.239 Nine. 1647 01:23:42.920 --> 01:23:43.680 We're just about there. 1648 01:23:53.399 --> 01:23:55.840 Do you hear all that traffic in the background, Frank yep. 1649 01:23:56.720 --> 01:23:59.720 That's the reason why they don't share frequencies illustrated on 1650 01:23:59.760 --> 01:24:03.840 hundre percent. Yeah, true, Jason has just that. 1651 01:24:04.119 --> 01:24:07.239 That didn't click for me. It was because it's a 1652 01:24:07.239 --> 01:24:13.399 two way communication, unlike APRS. Like you you said, mostly 1653 01:24:13.399 --> 01:24:15.119 it's a one way, but they can be a two way, 1654 01:24:15.159 --> 01:24:18.279 but it's so short. If there is a collision, it 1655 01:24:18.479 --> 01:24:19.800 just gets it next time. 1656 01:24:24.399 --> 01:24:29.960 Okay, we are reimaged back in the pie let me 1657 01:24:30.000 --> 01:24:33.520 find my USB cable for power here. I'm gonna plug 1658 01:24:33.560 --> 01:24:36.279 this up, all right, So we're plugged into the seven 1659 01:24:36.319 --> 01:24:44.119 oh five and it's powered on and yep, there we go. 1660 01:24:45.119 --> 01:24:46.960 So all of that is plugged in and ready to go. 1661 01:24:47.000 --> 01:24:48.520 So I'm gonna go ahead and power the pie. 1662 01:24:48.399 --> 01:24:53.199 Up radio is plugged in and everything. 1663 01:24:56.159 --> 01:24:59.920 Yep, radio is plugged in, powered on. Hold nine yards 1664 01:25:02.680 --> 01:25:04.720 and I wonder if it's gonna give it a new 1665 01:25:04.760 --> 01:25:05.800 IP address this time. 1666 01:25:05.840 --> 01:25:27.600 But let's see. 1667 01:25:25.359 --> 01:25:41.520 M hmmm, uh nope, same IP address fifty six. Okay, 1668 01:25:41.560 --> 01:25:45.399 there we go. We've got the initialized screen at the bottom. 1669 01:25:45.760 --> 01:25:47.920 All right, so run through that initialize again. We've already 1670 01:25:47.920 --> 01:25:49.359 done this, so you can just do it real quick 1671 01:25:49.600 --> 01:25:51.880 off screen, type in your password and everything, and it 1672 01:25:51.880 --> 01:25:54.720 should be in your browser save. 1673 01:25:54.680 --> 01:26:11.319 Right, yeah, yeah, okay, Hello, there we go. When they 1674 01:26:11.479 --> 01:26:32.199 passed through locate, does it matter the grid square? Does 1675 01:26:32.239 --> 01:26:34.239 it have to be all six digits or can you 1676 01:26:34.279 --> 01:26:35.159 do the four digit thing? 1677 01:26:35.600 --> 01:26:37.239 It should be six, but four we'll do. 1678 01:26:37.840 --> 01:26:40.359 Okay, that's not gonna cause trouble like we were seeing 1679 01:26:41.600 --> 01:26:42.479 if I only use four. 1680 01:26:43.800 --> 01:26:45.680 No, because we didn't get to connect to the radio. 1681 01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:47.199 We hadn't even gotten to the grid square park. 1682 01:26:47.239 --> 01:26:57.399 That's true. That's true. Okay, USB connected radio, it's already 1683 01:26:57.399 --> 01:26:58.239 set to seven. 1684 01:26:58.039 --> 01:26:58.800 O five. 1685 01:27:01.359 --> 01:27:13.159 Initialize, changes, applied, reboot. Okay, it's rebooting now. I have 1686 01:27:13.319 --> 01:27:16.079 used moby linked an FT five for woad works. 1687 01:27:16.119 --> 01:27:19.319 Great cool, Okay, yeah, I was. 1688 01:27:19.359 --> 01:27:21.960 Yeah, I was. I was trying that last night. But 1689 01:27:22.039 --> 01:27:26.399 I was in my bedroom upstairs and I was checking 1690 01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:28.000 and I wasn't connecting, and I didn't know why, and 1691 01:27:28.000 --> 01:27:29.960 I checked the logs. It's because I wasn't reaching the 1692 01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:33.279 uh the gateway. So it was trying, but it was 1693 01:27:33.319 --> 01:27:35.000 working on my side. I just I didn't have a 1694 01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:36.720 I was just on the rubber duck Antena of the 1695 01:27:36.840 --> 01:27:48.159 FT five. But the cool thing is you can take 1696 01:27:48.199 --> 01:27:51.600 that uh T n C four and connect it to 1697 01:27:51.600 --> 01:27:53.600 an icon and you can do APRS and an icon. 1698 01:27:58.319 --> 01:27:59.920 John's saying, I wonder if we found a glitch and 1699 01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:04.720 programming because of land instead of wireless, But I don't 1700 01:28:04.760 --> 01:28:05.039 think so. 1701 01:28:05.239 --> 01:28:10.399 H that's an idea, I'll say more as a bug. 1702 01:28:13.079 --> 01:28:13.960 That's an idea though. 1703 01:28:17.479 --> 01:28:20.159 That's what it is. Justin found the file. It's localized 1704 01:28:20.199 --> 01:28:24.600 dot een v mm hmm. But he's got some comment 1705 01:28:24.760 --> 01:28:27.199 inside of the localized dot een V that makes it. 1706 01:28:27.560 --> 01:28:29.399 I think it says something like, you know, don't edit 1707 01:28:29.439 --> 01:28:32.239 this blah blah blah blah blah. I think you can 1708 01:28:32.359 --> 01:28:35.279 edit it and reboot, but it's like super advanced stuff. 1709 01:28:35.680 --> 01:28:38.000 Oh ok and we're trying not to make this super advanced. 1710 01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:41.119 Okay. So the aprs T and C iGATE is on 1711 01:28:41.880 --> 01:28:43.479 after reboot, so I'm going to turn. 1712 01:28:43.359 --> 01:28:47.239 That off yep, and that light should go gray instead 1713 01:28:47.239 --> 01:28:47.560 of green. 1714 01:28:51.760 --> 01:28:52.840 Yeah, no, it's gray. 1715 01:28:53.720 --> 01:28:55.439 And then when link email server. 1716 01:28:55.800 --> 01:28:59.439 When email server on, everything's connected. 1717 01:29:01.159 --> 01:29:03.439 Your screen actually looks better on stream that it does 1718 01:29:03.479 --> 01:29:04.760 on Zoom. 1719 01:29:04.800 --> 01:29:07.079 Good. Well, yeah, yeah, you're right, it does. 1720 01:29:07.479 --> 01:29:10.119 It looks AI generated on my Zoom screen here, does 1721 01:29:10.159 --> 01:29:10.560 it really? 1722 01:29:10.760 --> 01:29:13.880 I wonder if that's your Internet's been pretty good tonight. 1723 01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:15.720 But at the first, when you first joined it was 1724 01:29:15.800 --> 01:29:20.199 you were kind of robotic, so I wonder, I don't know. Okay, 1725 01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:27.359 packet log reading, can file darw Win, link dot com 1726 01:29:27.600 --> 01:29:28.000 were good? 1727 01:29:28.039 --> 01:29:35.800 There, awesome, Op, there it is. I heard it. Well, 1728 01:29:35.840 --> 01:29:36.720 did you hear the radio? 1729 01:29:36.960 --> 01:29:39.439 It did that last time, but then it came within 1730 01:29:39.520 --> 01:29:41.159 the screen showed all these errors. 1731 01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:46.199 So yes, the radio KHWB dash ten beacon when linked 1732 01:29:47.279 --> 01:29:49.079 there you go. You just sent out your beacon telling 1733 01:29:49.119 --> 01:29:50.880 the world that you exist on this frequency. 1734 01:29:51.079 --> 01:29:55.000 There we go. Hey, okay, that is success. So I 1735 01:29:55.000 --> 01:29:56.840 guess it was just it. 1736 01:29:56.720 --> 01:29:58.800 Was something like I said, the easiest thing to do 1737 01:29:58.840 --> 01:29:59.960 with digipie is just start over. 1738 01:30:02.239 --> 01:30:04.600 I would like to think that it's probably the fact 1739 01:30:04.600 --> 01:30:08.079 that it's was not plugged into the radio when we 1740 01:30:08.119 --> 01:30:08.720 configured it. 1741 01:30:10.119 --> 01:30:12.520 I'm gonna blame you because I feel. 1742 01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:14.600 Like I feel like, well, I'm the one who didn't 1743 01:30:14.600 --> 01:30:16.239 plug it into the radio. So I guess you'd be right, 1744 01:30:16.680 --> 01:30:19.680 But I still I still feel like it wrote the 1745 01:30:19.800 --> 01:30:27.279 card correctly the first time. But oh yeah, okay, sweet, okay. 1746 01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:29.319 So now you can configure WAD to connect over whatever 1747 01:30:29.399 --> 01:30:32.640 radio you have connected to that other device. Yes, this 1748 01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:33.439 is it. It's done. 1749 01:30:33.479 --> 01:30:42.000 It yeah, it's it's done. You're done, sweet, Okay, I 1750 01:30:42.039 --> 01:30:44.079 can I can figure WOAD to connect to the seven 1751 01:30:44.079 --> 01:30:44.960 o five, right. 1752 01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:50.840 Uh, you can figure WOAD to connect to the other radio. 1753 01:30:51.279 --> 01:30:54.600 Your seven oh five is now dedicated as being okay, so. 1754 01:30:54.520 --> 01:30:56.880 I would so I would change the frequency on my 1755 01:30:56.960 --> 01:31:01.640 b tech uv pro too to match the seven oh five, 1756 01:31:02.439 --> 01:31:10.800 and then we could go from there. Yeah that makes sense. Okay, Okay, okay, good. 1757 01:31:10.920 --> 01:31:14.920 So you have radio sound interface, which on the seven 1758 01:31:14.920 --> 01:31:17.199 oh five is just a USB cable, right, but it 1759 01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:19.239 could be a DIGITPI or a signal link or something 1760 01:31:19.239 --> 01:31:24.239 along those lines. And digypie the Raspberry Pie with Craig's image, 1761 01:31:24.279 --> 01:31:27.319 that's your wind Link server set up right, that whole 1762 01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:30.640 nut gets set off to the side and stays on 1763 01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:33.720 and runs. And then you get your other radio, your 1764 01:31:33.720 --> 01:31:37.319 other computer, your other whatever and configure that to connect 1765 01:31:37.359 --> 01:31:39.960 over RF to the wind Link server that we just set. 1766 01:31:39.840 --> 01:31:47.279 Up, right, okay, okay, sweet, okay, Well that's successful anyway. 1767 01:31:47.920 --> 01:31:53.119 So if I wanted to change it to excuse me, 1768 01:31:53.119 --> 01:31:54.279 if I wanted to change it to. 1769 01:31:57.439 --> 01:31:59.399 A different radio digi rig. 1770 01:31:59.479 --> 01:32:03.039 Instead of of the seven o five, that's done in 1771 01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:05.159 where do we do that? 1772 01:32:05.479 --> 01:32:07.600 The easiest way to do it again is just to 1773 01:32:07.640 --> 01:32:11.159 reburn the sd image oh really, the localized dot env 1774 01:32:11.279 --> 01:32:14.119 file and edit it manually and reboot and so on. 1775 01:32:14.319 --> 01:32:15.680 Or you can just burn the SD image and go 1776 01:32:15.720 --> 01:32:18.800 through the initial eyes. Craig has made this by default 1777 01:32:18.840 --> 01:32:20.640 to not be radio agile. 1778 01:32:21.560 --> 01:32:23.000 Oh okay, okay. 1779 01:32:22.800 --> 01:32:25.680 So your ten bucks you know, yeah. 1780 01:32:25.600 --> 01:32:29.439 That's true, that's true. Oh, there's great Craig here, we 1781 01:32:29.479 --> 01:32:32.680 talk about it enough, I guess he shows up. So 1782 01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:37.680 what's up, dude? So okay, well good? I mean yeah, 1783 01:32:37.840 --> 01:32:41.079 because it's like yeah, because once you get it burned, 1784 01:32:41.079 --> 01:32:42.960 it's like three or four clicks and you're done. 1785 01:32:43.319 --> 01:32:46.319 Yep. So it's easier to have a ten dollars Raspberry 1786 01:32:46.359 --> 01:32:49.359 Pie for every radio than it is to have one 1787 01:32:49.479 --> 01:32:52.199 Raspberry Pie and ten different radios and ten different sound 1788 01:32:52.239 --> 01:32:52.760 in their faces. 1789 01:32:53.319 --> 01:32:58.079 That makes sense. Okay, cool. I'm gotta make sure I've 1790 01:32:58.079 --> 01:33:01.359 got the correct cable form my FT sixty five for 1791 01:33:01.439 --> 01:33:04.000 the digibrig, and if I do, then I'm gonna switch, 1792 01:33:04.039 --> 01:33:06.800 because you don't want to dedicate your seven oh five 1793 01:33:06.840 --> 01:33:07.960 to be your win link gateway. 1794 01:33:08.079 --> 01:33:10.960 Come on. No, But so Craig is saying, make a 1795 01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:13.880 second SD card, which we can do, or edit the 1796 01:33:13.880 --> 01:33:17.000 localized dot NB file and Craig in your file, there's 1797 01:33:17.039 --> 01:33:20.000 some some verbiage you have that kind of hints that 1798 01:33:20.039 --> 01:33:22.159 you shouldn't edit this, which is why I'm trying to 1799 01:33:22.880 --> 01:33:25.479 urge people to not edit it. But you can. I mean, 1800 01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:26.840 obviously you know more about it than I do. 1801 01:33:28.880 --> 01:33:35.840 M I thought I heard intro music. 1802 01:33:36.319 --> 01:33:38.119 Yeah, if you haven't watched Craig's channel. He plays a 1803 01:33:38.119 --> 01:33:44.920 little guitar bumper like live guitar every single one of 1804 01:33:44.960 --> 01:33:47.960 his videos and he's got hundreds on his channel, which 1805 01:33:48.000 --> 01:33:49.760 is KM six LYW Radio. 1806 01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:55.600 Some values you can edit, Yeah, it's probably, I mean 1807 01:33:55.640 --> 01:34:00.199 it's as simple as it was to just in the 1808 01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:03.279 image and yeah, just burn a second st card is 1809 01:34:03.279 --> 01:34:04.920 what he said. I'm like, that's that's probably the thing 1810 01:34:04.960 --> 01:34:10.279 to do right there. Hmm okay, sweet, Well, you know 1811 01:34:10.319 --> 01:34:13.600 what this is. Uh, this was success, had some it 1812 01:34:13.640 --> 01:34:16.840 was success. It had a bump in the roadblock, but 1813 01:34:17.000 --> 01:34:20.159 just like, uh, every other time we've done that, we've 1814 01:34:20.199 --> 01:34:22.840 we've tried to fix it, and today we were successful. 1815 01:34:22.920 --> 01:34:27.560 So I still partially it's partially because you're here. I 1816 01:34:27.600 --> 01:34:30.039 still remember that time we were building the Morserine I think 1817 01:34:30.039 --> 01:34:32.520 it was the mor Serno. Yeah, and mine didn't work 1818 01:34:32.520 --> 01:34:35.319 and I fixed it on camera and Inn five ask all. 1819 01:34:35.800 --> 01:34:38.760 He's like, He's like, you fixed it on live camera. 1820 01:34:38.840 --> 01:34:40.520 He's like, and I had the same problem, So it 1821 01:34:40.640 --> 01:34:42.520 was so great to see you fix it. And I'm like, well, 1822 01:34:42.720 --> 01:34:45.079 every now and then, you know, I mean, a broken 1823 01:34:45.119 --> 01:34:48.199 clock is right at least twice a day too, So 1824 01:34:48.279 --> 01:34:52.640 sometimes I can fix stuff so cool. Well, this was 1825 01:34:52.720 --> 01:34:55.720 this was good. I really enjoyed doing this. It's good 1826 01:34:55.720 --> 01:34:58.039 to kind of see it in action. It's good to 1827 01:34:58.600 --> 01:35:01.600 click through it and see everything that do and how 1828 01:35:01.640 --> 01:35:03.760 simple it is to you know, I'm glad we had 1829 01:35:03.760 --> 01:35:07.199 to burn it in burn it again to just kind 1830 01:35:07.199 --> 01:35:10.760 of see what it's doing. So that's gonna be that's 1831 01:35:10.800 --> 01:35:12.920 gonna be cool to tinker with. I think. 1832 01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:15.119 Yeah, and if you check out on my channel, I've 1833 01:35:15.119 --> 01:35:17.199 got a couple of quick videos that just go over 1834 01:35:17.359 --> 01:35:20.000 that part. Live streams are cool interaction community stuff. I 1835 01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:22.039 love them, yes, but sometimes it's like, just give me 1836 01:35:22.039 --> 01:35:25.039 the two minute version. So I've got one for setting up, 1837 01:35:25.199 --> 01:35:26.960 one for what a server is, one for setting up 1838 01:35:27.000 --> 01:35:29.359 the server, and one for setting up the client on 1839 01:35:29.399 --> 01:35:33.119 the VGC or the uv pro or whatever radio you 1840 01:35:33.159 --> 01:35:33.880 happen to have. 1841 01:35:34.319 --> 01:35:39.239 Right, cool, All right, well this was fun. Thank you 1842 01:35:39.520 --> 01:35:40.479 Steve for your time. 1843 01:35:41.119 --> 01:35:43.560 Sure anytiate to appreciate. 1844 01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:46.199 The info there we still need to get. We still 1845 01:35:46.239 --> 01:35:48.520 need to do another RV live stream on the other channel. 1846 01:35:48.600 --> 01:35:50.600 Yeah, you keep saying that. I actually thought about that 1847 01:35:50.600 --> 01:35:52.560 the other day because I have two projects that I'm 1848 01:35:52.560 --> 01:35:54.680 working on. One is this solar thing that I'm talking 1849 01:35:54.680 --> 01:35:56.880 about right now, it's just wired into this room, but 1850 01:35:56.960 --> 01:35:59.000 I want to wire it into the battery on the 1851 01:35:59.000 --> 01:36:01.399 tongue and then I want to get an inverter set up, 1852 01:36:01.479 --> 01:36:05.840 and there's going to be a loop that I'm concerned about. Okay, 1853 01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:07.560 I mean, you know when you plug into shore power 1854 01:36:07.600 --> 01:36:10.479 on your RV, there is a AC to d C 1855 01:36:10.680 --> 01:36:13.880 converter battery charger built into the camper. Correct, So I 1856 01:36:13.880 --> 01:36:18.359 would actually be solar power into the solar charge controller, 1857 01:36:18.600 --> 01:36:22.159 into the battery, into the inverter, into the shore power plug, 1858 01:36:22.520 --> 01:36:26.640 into the panel, into the AC to d C converter, 1859 01:36:26.880 --> 01:36:29.159 back into the battery. So I'm wondering, like, am I 1860 01:36:29.199 --> 01:36:31.840 creating this free energy loop thing going on? 1861 01:36:32.359 --> 01:36:32.760 I don't know. 1862 01:36:33.000 --> 01:36:34.479 I'll solve the problem. And the other one is I 1863 01:36:34.479 --> 01:36:36.399 don't have enough air conditioning in this rig. It's a 1864 01:36:36.439 --> 01:36:40.840 thirty six foot rig with a single air conditioner. Oh wow, Yeah, 1865 01:36:40.920 --> 01:36:44.399 so a couple of solutions, but none of them are good. 1866 01:36:44.920 --> 01:36:47.880 The rig we rented in Orlando was a thirty five 1867 01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:53.640 foot camper and he, uh, well, we didn't have access 1868 01:36:53.680 --> 01:36:55.479 to a fifty an plug, so we could only use 1869 01:36:55.520 --> 01:36:57.680 one of the air conditioners. It had too but you 1870 01:36:57.760 --> 01:36:59.680 had to have a fifty an plug. But it was fine. 1871 01:36:59.720 --> 01:37:02.119 We had no problem. That thing worked great. But yeah, 1872 01:37:02.199 --> 01:37:04.000 if I was living in the thing, I would definitely 1873 01:37:04.000 --> 01:37:05.920 want to two air conditioners. 1874 01:37:05.920 --> 01:37:08.079 Well, well, this is a Salem, and you know the 1875 01:37:08.119 --> 01:37:12.119 Salems aren't the highest trim level. It's like the Chevrolet version, 1876 01:37:12.159 --> 01:37:13.159 not the Cadillac version. 1877 01:37:13.239 --> 01:37:15.560 It's more like a you go, my one I've been 1878 01:37:15.560 --> 01:37:18.159 having all the trouble with is a Salem. It's yeah, 1879 01:37:18.199 --> 01:37:19.680 but yours is pre COVID. 1880 01:37:20.119 --> 01:37:22.760 Yes, I make sure of that. Don't buy any COVID 1881 01:37:22.920 --> 01:37:26.079 trailers ever. Right, Yeah, they were all built on Friday 1882 01:37:26.079 --> 01:37:27.840 and they all got phoned in, every single one of them, 1883 01:37:27.880 --> 01:37:28.840 every manufacturer. 1884 01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:31.079 Yeah. 1885 01:37:31.119 --> 01:37:35.800 Okay, that's a good question. So Brooks asks, will this 1886 01:37:35.880 --> 01:37:39.079 act as a win link gateway as RF only no Internet, 1887 01:37:39.119 --> 01:37:41.920 i e. Store and pick up email from the specific station. Well, 1888 01:37:42.239 --> 01:37:44.720 my understanding of win link gateway is it's always over 1889 01:37:44.760 --> 01:37:47.199 the Internet because that's how you email back and forth. 1890 01:37:47.600 --> 01:37:49.880 That's how emails get sent from gateway to gateways over 1891 01:37:49.920 --> 01:37:50.319 the Internet. 1892 01:37:50.399 --> 01:37:55.880 Yeah, right, right, So it's it's RF sending an RF 1893 01:37:55.880 --> 01:37:58.640 email from your station when you're in the field across 1894 01:37:58.760 --> 01:38:02.960 RF across the airway to a gateway that's somewhere connected 1895 01:38:03.079 --> 01:38:05.680 receiving RF signals and sending URF also, but it's also 1896 01:38:05.720 --> 01:38:06.920 connected to the Internet. 1897 01:38:07.479 --> 01:38:10.800 Yeah, so from a from an emergency standpoint, like what 1898 01:38:10.960 --> 01:38:13.399 happened in North Carolina, they had no Internet, they had 1899 01:38:13.399 --> 01:38:16.920 no cell phones, they had no nothing. Your two meter 1900 01:38:17.000 --> 01:38:19.399 would get you to the two meter gateway. The two 1901 01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:22.239 meter gateway would have like a starlink or something, or 1902 01:38:22.239 --> 01:38:25.800 would be outside of the impact crater and then would 1903 01:38:25.800 --> 01:38:28.399 get you across the internet to somewhere else, or your 1904 01:38:28.560 --> 01:38:31.880 HF would get you out of the impact zone to 1905 01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:34.039 a to a safe place that does have any net. 1906 01:38:34.199 --> 01:38:36.680 There is peer to peer wind link, but it's a 1907 01:38:36.720 --> 01:38:39.920 lot more difficult to set up to the point where 1908 01:38:40.119 --> 01:38:42.199 you might even just like pick up your HT and 1909 01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:45.199 just talk instead of sending somebody a win link email. 1910 01:38:46.359 --> 01:38:48.279 Because it's peer to peer, you're only talking at one person. 1911 01:38:48.840 --> 01:38:51.600 But yeah, I mean you're yeah, at that point time, 1912 01:38:51.600 --> 01:38:54.600 if you're gonna do peer to period, use APRS because 1913 01:38:54.640 --> 01:38:59.279 that works simplex. Peer to peer just far mestastic or mestastic. 1914 01:38:59.359 --> 01:38:59.720 That's true. 1915 01:38:59.720 --> 01:39:03.399 Also, Yeah, there there's more than one way to do it, 1916 01:39:03.439 --> 01:39:05.880 and sometimes there are better ways, and sometimes win link 1917 01:39:06.000 --> 01:39:06.800 is the better way. 1918 01:39:07.000 --> 01:39:09.199 Well, it's all about your intent, what you want to 1919 01:39:09.239 --> 01:39:11.840 do with the message, if you're just trying to communicate 1920 01:39:11.840 --> 01:39:14.640 in your area, or like you said, this is meant 1921 01:39:14.640 --> 01:39:16.239 to send email on the. 1922 01:39:16.239 --> 01:39:21.239 Internet, right right, So I got h oh, I got 1923 01:39:21.279 --> 01:39:23.399 eleven new messages when we were sitting here. 1924 01:39:23.920 --> 01:39:26.439 Nice, thank you for this. Check it again. You'll get 1925 01:39:26.439 --> 01:39:27.479 eleven more new messages, I know. 1926 01:39:28.760 --> 01:39:30.239 So I am going to be on the road this 1927 01:39:30.359 --> 01:39:35.880 week and I'm going to go get a new trailer.
