Re: [Elecraft] 2-30 MHz Transmit? MARS

Elecraft sells ham radios. If you have a MARS license Elecraft will provide you will instructions to enable that on your K3 or KX3. There have been no reports from someone with a legitimate MARS license being denied that support from elecraft. All it takes is an email or call to tech support.

Problem solved. Error: 127 indicates you don’t have curl installed (thanks to W8FGU). Just needed: sudo apt-get install curl A more informative error message would have saved a lot of head scratching. 73, David W4DES On Jun 24, 2014, at 6:04 PM, David Sanders W4DES w4...@sandersweb.net

The PPC driver is only for Power PC Macs. You want either the x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) drivers if you have an Intel processor. Look in system information to see what processor you have in the Mac mini. 73, David W4DES On Jun 7, 2014, at 3:18 PM, Jim GM jim.gmfo...@gmail.com wrote:

Debian and Ubuntu changed the way they handle multi arch systems in their latest releases. Part of the change was to eliminate ia32-libs. Adding it from the repository of another release is not recommended. The right way to do it is: $ sudo dpkg —add-architecture i386 $ sudo apt-get update

If you have 64-bit linux mint, you need the 32-bit version of the libraries since the K3 utility is built for 32-bit linux. Search the mailing list archives for the commands to do that. 73, David W4DES On May 21, 2014, at 1:45 PM, Doug Person via Elecraft elecraft@mailman.qth.net wrote:

This is in fact a deficiency in Debian. Most of the required libs can be installed in a multi-arch configuration where the 32-bit libraries go into a separate directory from the 64-bit libraries. However the gtkhtml package among others does not yet conform to this standard. The 32-bit

If you are running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you need the 32-bit libraries to be installed since the utilities are compiled for 32-bit linux. I’m not sure exactly how on Ubuntu, but for 64-bit debian you would need a sequence of commands like this: #dpkg —add-architecture i386 #apt-get update
