I downloaded, flashed, configured and ran the new G4KLX image to a Raspberry Pi model B.
I run a model B Pi with a UHF DVAP that is connected to my wireless router via Cat5e cable. My internet provider is Cox Cable. My cell phone provider is AT&T.
The image file runs GREAT!!! except I can't seem to get the Watch List feature to function.
I feel fairly confident that I have read and followed the setup docs and understand how to program the necessary access commands in an Icom ID51A and that I have configured the Pi with the correct email address and EMAIL to SMS gateway address according to the questions that are asked during initial configuration of the SD card.
The PW command doesn't send any info to my email, I get no text messages when my radio hears a designated Watch List callsign.
Too many hams are having success with the watch list so obviously I have something not properly configured. I have made sure to transmit the TEXT On command and the EMAIL ON command as well and I understand that these commands must be reset if the Pi is rebooted. The Reboot and Shutdown commands work fine.
I am up for some ideas as to where I may be going wrong.

Sounds like a problem with the text/e-mail rather than the watchlist. I'd start by verifying that the text/e-mail is working by sending a SYSINFO command. The PW command will send a "watchlist is empty" message even if there's nothing in the list.
If the text and e-mail are both not working, then you probably have a typo in your outbound mail address configuration...the gmail account used as an MTA to send messages. You can either manually edit the config file on the Pi (in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf) or alternatively, put the SD card from your Pi back into the PC card reader and run the DStarConfig program again. Pay close attention to capitalization in the password.

Problem resolved. Watch List is working as advertised. The Gmail account was blocking any incoming text messages. Security had to be slightly altered. After that, everything working great.
Great image file!!! This stuff just keeps getting better and better by the minute.
