Pat Setup with KPC 3+.

[apelouze]

I want to configure Pat to work with a KPC 3+ to FT-8800 via data port. Telnet connections works; I have Pat and AX25 installed.

I have played with the setting to no avail. Can I be pointed to a tutorial walking through hardware TNC and Pat configuration?

Thanks for the help!

you might be missing rigctl/hamlib https://github.com/la5nta/pat/wiki/Rig-control

Rig control is not an option on that radio. I install the package to see, no change.

I have Rig control set to No in Pat settings; in the Pat Connect to remote node page, the freq has a red line through the box. I am guessing that the software still thinks it has control of the radio.

I missed the KPC3+ hardware TNC comment for some reason .. you need to fix that device to control your PTT

I have the cable wired per the diagram; I can connect to local packet stations.

you likely want to ask in the PAT user areas, https://groups.google.com/g/pat-users/c/ox3mCZI7qGA check out this thread on topic. the biggest issues is AX25 is slowly melting on the linux subsystems.
