Conky Preferences. Call Sign lookup #15

Closed graycott closed 11 months ago

graycott commented 1 year ago

One thing I started to like with the old build a pi project was the ability to change the size and call sign information within the conky display. Another useful tool that was in the BAP was the call sign look up application. Is there a way of installing there two applications into the 73 Linux system?

The call sign lookup tool is still available to download and can be found here.

Conky prefs is there but not fully tested. Run ~/bin/conky/./setconky

Thank you Jason, the conky edit seem to work ok. Another question is with the Grid Square information that was used in the older version of Build a PI... I found that display within Conky was useful to indicate that my GPS dongle is running. This also indicates that my RTC was sync. to GPS time. Great to WSPR and other time dependant modes. Without that display I have to resort to running "CGPS" in terminal . IS it possible to have the GPS date reinstalled in the Conky display? Thank you Graham VK4GRA

Video coming soon to fix the GPS issue. Also working to update 73Linux to resolve this going forward.
