It's a guide.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>- Why are you compiling the rtl_sdr utils from source (and not even the actual mainline repository, which is at [1]), only to over-write it with the version in the raspbian repository later on in the 'script'? If the aim of compiling from source is to obtain the latest bias-tee additions, then neither of these will work. If you're going to compile from source, compile from the mainline repository please. The rtl-sdr package in Raspbian Stretch is out of date, and won't be much help either.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>- If you follow the rtl-sdr compilation instructions at [2], it uses a build flag which makes all the module blacklisting steps further down the guide irrelevant. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>- You are missing dependencies for direwolf (mainly libasound2-dev). How about just linking to the 'official' direwolf install guide at [3], which covers installation of direwolf on a Raspberry Pi pretty thoroughly. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>- The 'make install-rpi' line for direwolf bombs out on a headless Raspbian install, as the ~/Desktop directory does not exist. If you mkdir ~/Desktop and then run 'make install-rpi' it works.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>- I don't know what you're trying to achieve with all the copy/move lines. Just edit ~/sdr.conf directly (as the 'pi' user, not as root!!!!!).<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>- At the end, your script goes and runs direwolf, without information about how to start it up automatically (which would be useful for an igate!). Once again, the official documentation [3] (page 28) has information on how to set this up, as does [2].<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Realistically the existing direwolf APRS+SDR guide [2] contains all the instructions needed to set up a SDR iGate.
