Here's where I am at:
1. MARS mod reversed and DR-135T Rx sensitivity restored.
2. Minicom can send CALIBRATE then l, h, a, or p and it is
transmitted.
3. Minicom detects Beacon transmissions from my TH-D72a.
4. I have receive on Xastir (have to check my TH-D72a settings
as the Xastir map thinks it is in southern Europe).
5. Xastir "Transmit Now!" causes a packet signal to be transmitted.
6. I think I need to tweak a bunch of settings in Xastir and will
walk through the Help to learn what I can.
7. I need a PERL script like /usb/lib/xastir/kiss-off.pl to
send the proper commands to STDOUT to command the KISS TNC
into USBKISS mode because even though technically the OT3m
holds in KISS mode it doesn't seem to hold in USBKISS mode.
It needs to be redirected to the port that the TNC is
connected to as it otherwise assumes that the Port and
TNC are matched.
The script would be vaguely like this (I don't know PERL):
./kiss-on.pl >/dev/ttyACM0
#!/bin/bash
#
# I believe the following sets the port parameters for Minicom.
# And it also tells the gui to echo keyboard strokes?
# What of this would be necessary in a non-gui script?
echo -ne '\xC0\xFF\xC0' > /dev/ttyACM0
# Opens Minicom in gui mode with port comm settings.
minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 -o
# In manual gui mode one has to hit "Enter" to get to
# the "cmd:" prompt - would that be necessary in command
# line mode? If so, how would that be accomplished?
"USBKISS on"
# to exit Minicom
CTRL-A X
# to open Xastir
