Running a Kenwood TS-2000 with a Digirig mobile interface.  Selected that on initialize.  Upon selection of Mercury HF modem, I see the selection come up on my digipi screen then it kicks back to standby.  I'm getting the following in my Syslog.  Perhaps someone has a fix? Thanks

digipi/hermes doesn't initialize with a GPIO rig

you can edit config/mercury/mercury.ini.template  and change the
rig number to "2" then edit /etc/systemd/system/rigctld.service, make
sure it works with gpio 12, then add "sudo systemctl start rigctld"
to mercury.sh.

that's a lot of info  -- I'm curious, what rig are you using that uses
GPIO (or non hamlib) to PTT?
