Chris and All,
Thanks for the information. I have seen this repository before and was not
sure if that was the real latest update or not. A lot of information is
floating around. I initially started this journey trying to build
everything for use on a cheap single board computer running Armbian and
realized some of the packages for AX25 were bad/broken so then I started to
suspect some of the software and the platform I chose. I later moved back
to Raspberry PI and again wondered if some of the packages were flakey or
if my cheap test setup was causing issues.
I am Ok with building from source. I have also read in older documentation
it is necessary to recompile the kernel to add AX25 support. Is that still
the case?
My goal is to eventually build a reliable system for my community so I am
interested in the details.
Thanks again for your help and have a great week!
73 Dave, KD9GN
