Subject: Howto setup a Winlink client? (pat)
Message-ID: <CAN3TeO0TEHNQTkrbTfZsxcbL-YCJ0L-kJA8pZ+7kECXoFq6CLA@mail.gmail.com>

Is there anyone else interested in helping me develop a howto for setting
up a Winlink client?

Supposedly winlink proper works well under wine, but using a close source
program still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I found pat[1] which is
written in GO. I would consider packaging it but I have NO idea how to
package GO.

For now I'm using upstreams provided binaries.

I decided ham radio related howtos should be an extension of the Amateur
radio sig on Fedora, so I setup the howto here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AmateurRadio/Howto/Pat

Outside of this particular topic, it would be nice to come up with more
howtos and link to them from the main wiki (probably through the howto part
of the link).

Thanks,
Richard

Count me in.  I'm running pat with AX.25 and a Kenwood D710 TNC.  Setup is
fairly straightforward, but there are some tricks related to radio setup
that aren't well documented, mostly on the AX.25 side.  I'll dig up my
notes and add them to the wiki,.

I'm also interested in packaging pat.  At best I could tell, go-lang
versions are the trickiest part.  The compiled binaries are static so the
basic packaging should be straightforward.    Adding niceties like running
pat as a service, and maybe getting forms packaged (when the support is in
place) would also be good.

Ok, good deal. I'm still cutting my teeth on all the moving parts. Today I
learned that direwolf is really only useful for packet, which means only
VHF/UHF for Winlink. For HF you need ARDOP as Winmor is no longer used.
Unfortunately it doesn't compile. A whole lot of issues with, "multiple
definition of..."  Right now I'm trying brute force adding "static" to some
of the definitions to get it to compile. Not sure yet if I've broken
anything.

I was planning to start using fldigi unless there is a better 
recommendation.

Depends on what you want to do, but there's not really anything that
provides the same level of functionality and number of modes.

Thanks,
