Well I've got my packet radio @farpn node/BBS working again, thanks to some _serious help_ from @n6cta last night with debugging the ALSA configuration to support two radios - one for HF and one for VHF, each with a direwolf modem. Still running into an issue trying to add a mixer to allow multiple applications to listen to one device.
Now on to more packet shenanigans in the new year!
