3. Once your file is updated, save it and copy it to /etc/svxlink/ and overwrite the existing svxlink.conf file
At this point you’ll receive a bunch of errors. That’s because you need to connect your radio via your FTDI cable and soundcard first
3. Save and Copy:
– Save the updated file and copy it to /etc/svxlink/ directory, overwriting the existing svxlink.conf file
