Re: [DigiPi] Digest for digipi@googlegroups.com - 3 updates in 1 topic

I’m trying to get a Winlink Gateway going using the award winning Digipi software! I’m using a pi Zero with Masters communications interface into a Motorola Maxtrac radio. On the client side using a VGC VR-N76 for radio and KISS TNC. Along with Radio Mail on an iPad. The iPad finds the N76 fine. Says connecting but times out. Any ideas? I never see a PTT on the Masters interface.

• APRS traffic decoding with the QTH app - 3 Updates

APRS traffic decoding with the QTH app

Ted Pater <tno...@gmail.com>: Jan 04 04:34PM -0800 Hi guys,   I came across very interesting app for decoding the APRS traffic from my digipi. The app is well developed by W8WJB since 2021.   It can run in the freemium mode to receive APRS traffic. The license is required for the transmit. It works only on the macOS platform.   I tested the app on MacMini M1 but it also run on the old 2011 MacBook Air laptop /High Sierra/ which I plan for the field activities since I can control the digipi as well.   https://qth.app/   73,   Ted.

Craig <km6...@gmail.com>: Jan 04 05:35PM -0800 Great find!   I'll give that a try for sure, as I'm still a Mac-learner.   for what it's worth DigiPi's kiss port is 8001, and agwpe port is 8000 (the former should work with the QTH app), bluetooth too.   cool, -craig KM6LYW   On 1/4/26 4:34 PM, Ted Pater wrote:

Ted Pater <tno...@gmail.com>: Jan 04 10:03PM -0800 Hi Craig,   The setup for the digipi is simple, just select KISS TCP/IP TNC during the wizard setup, and the digipi.local at 8001 will be found automatically,if it is running.    The decoding features are very cool, for example are the NG7N weather station data displayed in the nice graphic format. The packet log is running in the background.      73, Ted. VE7VIB

W00t!! award winning! :)

Raspberry Pi doesn't support bluetooth-low-energy which is what Apple products use.

The only way to see the pi is to use ddns/avahi discovery over wifi, or connect directly
to digipi over wifi on the KISS port 8001  (or AGWPE port 8000)

I'm still an apple-learner, but this is my observation.

cool,

Radio Mail is getting to the HT fine. The HT is being received by the Maxtrac on 145.050 mhz. That’s where it seems to end. I haven’t written Kevin from Masters yet.
