Since Minicom is necessary to set the OT3m THC to USBKISS on, before Xastir will work, it then becomes unclear if Minicom should be used to make any other settings whatsoever to the OT3m. Is it? You should be able to write a Xastir startup script to send this command. Someone posted a

Hi David, My personal preference is to leave my OT2/3 in KISS mode on Port A and use the GPS on Port B only. On the OT3, I won't use the USB port once I have it running since with system is already wired for RS232. The OT2/3 will stay in KISS indefinitely until you or an application takes it

The system only has 10.6 10.7 SDKs, so that might be part of the problem. Let me see if I can find those to install. On Aug 25, 2012, at 23:39, Jeremy McDermond wrote: Sorry about the top post here, but I'm at a campground in the middle of the Cascades getting ready for a SOTA activation

I'm using the Occidentalis (Adafruit) distro (it's based on Debian). I just did a sudo apt-get install xastir and it was 100%. It wasn't a super long install, but it wasn't quick either. It says it has AX25 built-in, among other things. I don't think it has speech or GPS in the build. Now I'm
