Phil,

I have a brand new Pi5 running PiOS Bookworm with one of several desktop managers (preference is Mate Desktop).? I am not seeing the errors you report.? What processor for the target build.? Is the OS install a base Debian or a derivative?

I compiled fldigi from 4.2.04.05 using the then latest fltk 1.4 on debian bookworm and I keep getting the following warning:

>From my own experience this is when an extended ASCII character is used rather than its UTF-8 equivalent. I noticed today as I hovered over a callsign the tooltip window came up and displayed latitude and longitude with the degree symbol replaced by the black diamond used for an unprintable character. At the same time the pango warning came up.

If you want I can look at the fldigi code tomorrow.

IC756 (non pro) with fldigi 4.2.0.3

 

I am using fldigi with IC-756 (non pro) for receiving wefaxes. Currently I am modifying manually the frequency in fldigi (in order to get the .jpg file with wefax with a file name with the frequency value).

I have been trying to connect both via CAT so as to avoiding the entrance manually of frequency but I have not been success

I am using .XML for ic756 (from repository) and tested all the possible configurations with RigCAT. With hamlib the application get frozen, any advice on this issue? Thanks

Hi Dave,

My evenings are pretty erratic, so can't commit to a time. I've my local club net at 19:30Z for maybe an hour. After that it depends on stuff I might have to do.

Apart from the first, each line of text has TWO identical URLs split at the first "fldigi/".

Many thanks for you time and effort on all of your software packages.

Remote operating with Bookworm and NoMachine

 

I remotely operate my HF station by logging into a Raspberry Pi with NoMachine and streaming my radio's audio.? I recently upgraded to a Raspberry Pi 5 and installed the latest version of the Raspberry Pi OS named Bookworm.? There are many configuration changes for remote operating with NoMachine between Bookworm and the previous version named Bullseye.? In general:
  • Windowing system must be changed from Wayland to X11.
  • Default audio handler must be changed from the Pipewire to PulseAudio.
  • Pipewire must be completely removed for NoMachine to stream audio.
  • , the Perl program used to generate the script to set up audio streaming, has been modified to set the level of USB audio to 50%.? The default value is zero which will result in no output power for digital signals going to the radio via USB.? This new version is named
Here is a link to a document that provides more details:

I've made this work on a couple of Raspberry Pi 5's and a Raspberry Pi 400, so I'm confident this works.? Please let me know if you have any issues or questions.? I am not a Raspberry Pi OS guru, so if you know of a better way to make this all work, I'm willing to listen.? I'm particularly interested if there's a better way to deal with Pipewire.

Speaking of the Raspberry Pi 5, it is *much* faster than the Pi 4.? Large complies like wsjt-x, fldigi, and flrig are tremendously speedier.? But the Pi 5 runs hot.? If you use the official Raspberry 5 case with just a small heatsink glued to the CPU and a modest fan in the case, you will crash your Pi 5 if you try something like "make -j4."? I've had much better success with the official Raspberry Pi Active Cooler.? Even large compiles do not overheat the Pi 5 with one of these attached.? There's a cottage industry of Raspberry Pi 5 cases and heatsinks, so there's lots of cooling solutions available.? I'm hoping they come out with a Raspberry Pi 5 in the same form factor as the Raspberry Pi 400 where the Pi is mounted to a large heatsink inside a keyboard for a nice form factor.
