Re: Ham Radio Integrator will no longer be free.
开云体育Howard,No problem in the least to charge for your software. I was always amazed that you offered it for free. I had no idea that you had been unemployed for so long...being such a good programmer. But I certainly see what you mean relative to the flood of cheap IT workers the H1B visa program has caused. As a long time user of your software, I have gotten lots of good utility with it and it has always been reliable with good support. I hope you will get lots of paying subscribers. Good luck and 73's,? Marc? W0KYZ On 11/17/2018 11:04 AM, Doug Ferrell

Charles Brain is a DSP Guru God, and a very nice person. I have communicated with him a few times this year.

Charles Brain has given me written permission to use his m110 software code. Took much work to get the transmit code to work, as its original purpose was an RX only product, and the TX code was only intended for testing. This is the same Brain code Steve started with a decade ago, and Steve's DMT is still a mess, crashing randomly, can't handle long messages,etc.. I found DMT works better at higher speeds compared to slower speeds indicating big problems. Steve really tries hard, but I do not think he is a software professional. I think distributing software with many huge problems was a major disservice to MARS. My "TheModem" has been tested by MARS members who own expensive hardware M110A, and their conclusion was it is a very good software modem fully compatible with MARS encryption software using M110 or MT63. I will see if MARS members will pay $25 per year for my TheModem software rather than spend $2000 for the lowest priced hardware modem. Or they might continue suffering with DMT. Maybe Chiefs Army and AF MARS will get the military to buy all members a license? It's really not much for the organization to spend. If TheModem sells well, I am thinking of ALE as my next project primarily for MARS use. Regards Howard P.S. Doug, a few years ago I decided to stop doing blue collar work. I refuse to work a full-time job and still take money out of savings each month. I prefer to live poor, until social security payments begin.

Sorry to hear Howard. Too bad my HD with my ham software crashed 2 weeks ago. My
backup image was bad to boot! Hopefully someone in the IT field will recognize your talents and hire you. You are an excellent programmer!!! I know what you mean about folks staying here in the country, I deal with that on a daily basis with my job in IT field. Luckily I'm employed with a municipality in the public safety field. Charles Brain also charges for his software, HFDL. With the amount of time you spent on HRI, I think you are on the right track to charge for it. ...DOUG KD4MOJ |

Re: AT-Auto Serial Connection Problems
开云体育John,
Read the Kessler Engineering manual for the AT AUTO. In Chapter 9 it talks about the RTS line doing a reset - and that doing this constantly can damage the tuner. It talks about a jumper inside the AT AUTO to disable the RTS reset line. So, there should be no need to "cut" the RTS line - just move the appropriate jumper. Read the manual and you should find details. All version should be in the FILES section at the groups.io website. As I said, there should be no problem using the Java version of HRI on Windows 10. I just thought people preferred the Visual Studios version of HRI. Good Luck, Howard On 9/26/2018 08:44, John Huffman wrote:

Howard - In the past, the Visual Studio version was giving me a problem installing.? I didn't try on this particular Windows 10 computer.? Where can I find the install file? We will try stopping the RTS or cutting the line and get back to you. Thanks for the great support! 73 de K1ESE John On Wed, Sep 26, 2018 at 8:18 AM Howard Z <HowardZ@...> wrote:

Very impressive. I seem to recall that RTS causes the AT AUTO to do a reset. I'd need to look it up in the manual. If my memory is correct, then you'd need a modified serial cable with the RTS wire cut, or some way to make the Ethernet adapter stop using RTS. Check the manual. I don't know why you are using the java version with windows 10. Nothing wrong with that. I just thought the visual studios version looks better and performs a little faster.

AT-Auto Serial Connection Problems
John Huffman
We are mounting an AT-Auto in a cabinet at the 125' level of a cell tower.?
Testing, before it gets hauled up, shows that the serial connection is intermittent at best and not connect much of the time.? We are using the Java version on a Windows 10 machine. The AT-Auto cabinet has an Ethernet switch and an Ethernet to serial converter.? The AT-Auto’s serial port is connected to the Ethernet serial converter and it appears to work as we can see serial traffic in and out of the converter.? ?The serial port is an Eltima Virtual Serial Port (COM 26).? It shows up on the pick list in HRI.
?
In HRI the Edit >Settings > AT-Auto shows "Palstar AT-Auto is present" box checked,? "Use CI-V interface" box not checked.? "Use RS232 interface" box is checked.? Tuner CI-V address is E0.? Palstar Firmware is 2.11.? COM 26 and 9600 are selected.? On the tuner ICOM no ext tuner is selected as Is baud 9600.
?
We need a reliable link.? Any suggestions?

I just looked in the Java code and all references to 0BKCBLUE.GIF are in capital letters. It's great that you found the solution to the problem. I do not understand the problem since the code uses capital letters for the files, and the file names are in capital letters.

I found the problem and the cure, The fonts are all in CAPS, and? Windows is not a?case sensitive O.S. But Linux is a case sensitive O.S., so it does not find the .gifs , in submap digits The solution is to rename or copy? all CAPS letters to normal case, for?example the Black/Blue digits

Hi Rene,
The GIF files for the digits are in a sub-folder called "digits', and is located where Ham Radio Integrator was installed.? You will find? 100 files because there are 10 choices of appearances for the digits. I suggest you check Edit--Settings--Radio Tab, and check which Digits are selected. "Blue Black Digits" should be selected by default. Most settings are stored in HamRadioIntegratorSettings.ini.txt and "digit font" is an integer value for the list of fonts. Unfortunately, few if any people use the Linux version of HRI.? Note: You might notice the 39 Tone modem in the Linux version - it does not work. Regards, Howard On 7/6/2018 02:34, PA7R Rene wrote:

I think the answer is no, because the two instances will be using the same settings files. I think yes, if you run HRI-java for one radio and run HRI-VisualStudios for the second radio, as the settings files are in different locations.
