[Xastir] Confused..HELP

Thu Nov 12 10:50:24 PST 2020

Hello, 
Thanks for those who responded to my help post, I have the offending
programs loaded and running ok. However, I can't make the tnc pi talk
to the rasp pi(v3). I think I have good connection from the radio to
the tnc. TNC rx light blinks when the radio receives a signal. I can
force the radio to tx by jumping the appropriate connections at the
serial connector. Just can't get the compute to talk to the tnc/vice
versa.
Chris

When you get a chance to post more details we may be able to help.
These
 details would include exactly what steps you've gone through, and
what
 error messages or failure modes you're actually seeing. These are
critical
 to troubleshooting.

 Please try to post in a manner that doesn't mangle the formatting,
it'll 
 be easier to help if we can read the message.

to lag releases of Xastir by years.The latest "unstable" or "testing"
releases might have the latest releaseof Xastir, but the "stable"
release of the OS tend to stick with whateverversion was current when
that OS release happened.If you want Xastir to work right, you
generally have to ignore the packagedversion and build it yourself
from the sources.> On 8/11/20 9:17 am, Ken Koster wrote:> > Do you
