I am using a couple of tactical call signs in my testing. Is there a way to store the password in the config file so I am not prompted for it each time I connect?

Hi Scott,

Yes there is :)

Just append :MYPASS to the aux address string in your config.

Have a look at the AuxAddrs example in the config docs here: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/la5nta/pat/cfg?utm_source=godoc#Config.

Yeah, that's what I guessed, but it doesn't seem to work. Here is my config (not the real passwords):

"mycall": "NS7C",
"secure_login_password": "pass1",
"auxiliary_addresses": ["sloecc-6:pass2"],
"locator": "CM95PP",
"service_codes": [
"PUBLIC EMCOMM"
],

Could you try that with the aux address written in caps? Might be a bug in the code matching the CMS prompt with the address in your config.

Thanks!

Yep, that fixed it!

Next config issue, I'm trying to add a second connection alias, but I can't seem to get the syntax correct, can you give an example of that? I'm using gensio, and trying to add "NS7C-10": "gax25:///NS7C-10"

Glad it worked out :) I'll fix that case sensitive lookup in a future release.

Your alias looks good to me. I would suggest you try to define an alias with one of the offically supported transports like ax25:// or ardop:// first. If you are still having issues, please start another thread so we don't go completely off topic in this one :)
