Hi Norm & others, thank you all. I just got control back of my RPi via 
SSH. Errors in /etc/network/interfaces file due to a flakey keyboard.

Your method seems almost too easy to be true but I'm familiar with the 
apt-get routine. I think I'll have to install direwolf first.
I have direwolf and xastir running on a laptup with linux Mint. I can 
see packets on the direwolf terminal and on message views etc

where I get confused is how to set the correct path for TX. I can't see 
the options I want like WIDE2-1 as I'm close to VK2HIM
Also I can beacon ok but I don't seem to appear on the aprs.fi map 
either with QF55hd or =3451.00S/15036.00E/- blah blah blah
Ultimately I would like to bounce my signal off the ISS with 
ARISS,SGATE,WIDE2-1
Even my VK2BYF-9 tracker in the car works sometimes and not at other 
times. I've had it for years. I suspect maybe a lack of relays, oops 
WIDE1-1 stations in this area 150km south of Sydney. Ham radio is pretty 
dead down here.

Even the destination APRS apparently is no longer correct. I see lots of 
weird destinations when I look at the RAW packet view with xastir.
I've done a lot of searching on the Internet but keep finding data which 
is not up to date.

I have a RTL-SDR running with gqrx and the inbuild AFSK 1200 decoder 
working quiet well so I can look at my own packets. What I really need 
is a source for up to date configuration details.

Installing maps is another issue which I'll need to address again later.

The old brain is struggling to keep up with too many new things. I only 
transitioned from Windoze to Linux a few months ago.

Thanks again ( will this go to everybody or just Norm?)
