Hello Tony,that's less than ideal. Currently, as a user, I just notice that the software does not work. I do exactly what should work, but for some reason it does not. I cannot see that a feature was intentionally removed.
And yes, there's definitely interest, as currently there is no other software for PACTOR that is available in the repos. So if that feature can be re-added in relatively simple way, that'd be great.
The reason I was asking the author of pat to talk to some Debian folks and get it in the repo, two years ago, was because I thought it'd be great if we had a software for this. :)

This bug is not present when using upstream packages.Hello Joshua, This is expected for the current packaging, as documented in this patch: https://salsa.debian.org/debian-hamradio-team/pat/-/blob/debian/sid/debian/patches/01_remove_ptc-go.patch I'm not the author of the patch, so my assessment may be incorrect. However, at first glance the only reverse dependency missing from Debian needed to package ptc-go is github.com/howeyc/crc16, which doesn't look too difficult to package. So it's doable if there is interest. Cheers, tony KG7IEL
