Easy GUI to control Pat Winlink Radio.

Pat-Window

Easy GUI to control Pat with a usb-serial AX25 Winlink Radio. It will work on (for example) http://www.mobilinkd.com/ TNC3 device connected to your computer with USB and connected to ham radio with audio control cable.

If you need a build for use on Linux phone such as Librem 5 or Pinephone please see https://hearham.com/pat

pat-window's Issues

Once connected, I need to force pat-window GUI to close and then kill pat and kissattach from CLI afterwards.

I'm running pat-window on my arm64 Manjaro Pinebook Pro and arm64 Mobian Pinephone. In both cases, the "connect" button works but, after connecting, the "quit button" doesn't seem to do anything. However, if a connection is never made "quit" quits!

My workaround is to force the GUI window to close and then use "kill" from a terminal to kill both pat and kissattach. Then I can launch pat-window again and repeat the process, if desired.

I've written about my experiences getting pat-window to work on my Manjaro (Arch-based) system here. The Debian packages on my Mobian Pinephone were easy to install but I ran into a little bit of dependency hell on Manjaro but that's not really my issue here--just an FYI ;)
