### Configuration

### General

Callsign *
This field is required. Valid amateur radio callsign (uppercase only)
Account not found. Create one?

Continuing without a Winlink account will automatically initiate an over-the-air activation on your first connection. The Winlink system will issue a password that is not recoverable if lost.

Maidenhead Locator *
This field is required. 4-6 character grid locator
Secure Login Password (optional)
Used for secure login challenges. This is the password for your Winlink account.
Auxiliary Addresses Callsigns to fetch email on behalf of. Use "callsign:password" format. Password defaults to Secure Login Password if omitted.
Auto Download Size Limit
bytes
Maximum size in bytes for automatic message downloads. Messages larger than this will prompt for download. Use -1 for no limit.

Radio Port AGWPE radio port number (0-3)

##### Serial TNC

Device Path
Serial Baud Rate
TNC Type
Packet Baud Rate
Packet connection speed (1200 or 9600 baud)

### Rig Control

#### Hamlib rigs (click to expand)

Configure your radio equipment connections here. For rig control, we recommend using the TCP connection type to connect to `rigctld` from Hamlib - this provides the most reliable interface for most modern radios.

The rigs you configure here will appear in the "Rig" dropdown menus found in each transport's configuration section. A single rig configuration can be shared by multiple transports simultaneously, allowing different communication methods (e.g. ARDOP and VARA HF) to use the same radio equipment without configuration duplication.

Please note: The TCP option connects to a `rigctld` instance that must be running when using rig control features. You can configure the connection now but ensure rigctld is properly set up and started before attempting to use it. Direct serial connection requires advanced setup and involves building from source.

Rig Name (reference name)
Connection Type
TCP for rigctld (recommended)
Address/Port TCP: host:port
Serial: device path
Default VFO
Most rigs use VFO A

### GPSd Configuration

Server Address GPSd server address (e.g. localhost:2947)
Update Locator Automatically update the locator field in-memory by polling GPSd every hour. On startup, the config's locator value will be used until the first position is received from GPSd.
Allow Forms GPS Access Caution: Automatically injects GPS position into forms without explicit consent
Use Server Time Use server time instead of GPS device timestamp
Enable GPSd HTTP Proxy This setting is disabled due to security concerns and can only be changed by editing the configuration file manually

### Schedule (Cron Jobs)

Format: cron(5) schedule followed by command
Example: `@hourly connect telnet` or `0 3 * * * freq ardop:5350`

#### Restart Required

Configuration changes have been saved successfully.

Note: Some changes will not take effect until the application is restarted.

#### Create Winlink Account

Welcome! Let's create your Winlink account. Please confirm your callsign below.
