Re: Where to send user modified/tested/debugged sources?
You are probably aware of the preferred?C++ coding style, but to refresh you memory read here:?
1.? The easiest way is to submit a compressed source file containing all new or modified source files.
2.? Next would be to create a diff file for the entire application source.? You would need to build the diff based on the original uncompressed tar.gz source image and the modified image.
3.? Finally you can become a git developer with your own private upload directory at Source Forge.? After getting over the learning curve bulge this is the simplest method.
Send the files generated (1) or (2) to me at w1hk25@...

Flrig-2.0.05.93 Erroneous behavior with Yaesu FT736r.
Hi again.
?
For now I've given up trying to understand the weird "pot-luck access" to Dave's new site.? There is something truly janky going on outside of my control...
?
Enough of that...?? A new(ish) issue...
Same project and version.? (Flrig 2.0.05.93)? This time with the ancient FT-736r.
?
(I say new(ish) as I noticed it first I think with an earlier alpha, just before I lost the ability to login as "me" to my own computer.? Insufficient rights for the Xserver to access hardware ports 0x00 to 0x35 or something.)
?
Anyway...
?
Firstly, the "base release" of 2.0.05, works very well.
But the alpha .93 (and I think some earlier ,7x version) have a problem when recalling a "Flrig Memory" where the rig goes to the wanted frequency just fine, but a fraction of a second after that, Flrig itself reverts to displaying the old VFO frequency that was in force before the memory was recalled, while the radio stays at the new (recalled) frequency.
?
Of course, This radio is not capable of returning a query for it's set working frequency.?? That, I think is part of the problem, as something in Flrig expects to be able to update it's display, based on what the radio has just been set to as a result of a Memory Manager recall.? (As it does with other rigs just fine.)
?
"Tuning via Flrig" (even with polling disabled) there is no issue, you nudge a digit up/down, and the radio follows just fine, plus Flrig stays showing the "new" frequency.
?
Disabling all polling, prevents Flrig Memory Manager recall's too!? (Seems odd...)
?
This ancient (but still very useful) radio also has much of it's front panel "locked" when under CAT control, so you can't manually "tune" it (or change several other settings) from the front panel, and have Flrig follow it.
?
The only data it can return to the controlling computer, is the Squelch status, and a 'S' meter indication value.
?
I can't see anything grossly different in the .cxx and .h files for this radio, so I'm guessing something else changed deeper within Flrig.? But where?
?
Best Regards.
?
Dave G0WBX.

Hi.
Well, as one other list member in the UK also reported the same
issue with the new site flrig alpha folder.
I dug into things a bit more.
I checked again this (UK)AM and still saw the old version alpha.
This is after googling for w1hkj, and going to the .org link.? At
about 11:00z today.? Perhaps there are server logs that might show
up something.
At one point, using a VPN with it's distant endpoint in the USA
(Alanta) I DID see the correct up-to-date site.
But that didn't last long.?? 5 minutes later, were stuck on the
out-of-date site again, even while still using the VPN.
Using an utterly different device and browser (an android phone,
on cellular data) also shows the wrong files.? Even after a full
power off and cold reboot.
So, that's two different routes to the same wrong source.? Maybe
GCHQ doesnt want us to be "up to date" with open source ham
software?
Or, something in the internet caching distribution network seems
to have stalled somewhere.? So it's a bit "pot luck" what you get
to!

Re: VARA.exe in Linux on a Chromebook (4GB RAM, 16GB eMMC)
Hi Jindra
Not an expert on this so mainly thinking out loud.?
I assume you space issue on the 16GB came from installing wine32
and the i386 linux architecture on top of the 64bit? (ie sudo dpkg
--add-architecture i386) There doesn't seem to be a wine64
dependency on the wine32 installation (in Debian) so maybe see if
wine32 ONLY can be installed? (assuming you don't want to run any
64bit Windows programs). WineHQ however has lots of useful info.
Maybe think about doing a manual strip of unused
applications/libraries first?

Hello,

recently
I purchased and reflashed Lenovo N23, 4GB RAM, 16 GB flash.
Running JS8Call to my complete satisfaction, using QDX and/or
QMX transceiver (both have built-in USB CDC's for serial and
sound interface). The chromebook runs from full charge at least
9 hours, maybe more. With QMX, QDX except battery there are no
extra boxes or parts to take in my backpack, such as digirig
etc.

I
tried to install VARA (because it's a standard in one of emcomm
groups I participate in) but no success, the reason being that
VARA is available as Win32 app only and the necessary libraries
don't fit into the 16 GB disk. Were it 32 GB or were VARA also a
x64 app everything would be fine. I tried to convince the
author, EA5HVK, to make a 64 bit build alongside the 32 bit
version but he seems to be reluctant to accept any proposals. I
wonder what will he do after 32-bit layer disappears from
Windows (after 2025).
?
I
just received a used Dell Chromebook 11 3180 with 32 GB flash,
reflashed it after some struggle and so far everything seems to
work. I have not yet started installing the VARA stuff.

Would
you know of another solution as alternative to hunting 32 gig
chromebook in the 2nd hand market? "Install Windows to avoid
headache" variant has already been taken by Jose (EA5HVK) but he
doesn't know that due to Windows quirks our radio club 24/7 JS8
is out of service every couple of days ;-)?

Re: QSSTV - supporting multiple configurations
Thanks David 'ZHD and Bob 'YQA for replying. I had hoped there might have been a QT default switch that hadn't been documented in the QSSTV manual.
I had already managed to find ON4QZ's new host.?
With regard to the solution, currently I am only using QSSTV with my HF transceiver so don't need to use multiple rigs... ...Yet. It's just I like to have all my operation controlled by my homebrew dashboard cum logging program. I am already using a script
to connect the audio correctly to QSSTV by setting the default pulseaudio connections at the time of invocation.

Re: QSSTV - supporting multiple configurations
Hi Phil
Have been using it for years and never saw that it can. The
config file though is in $HOME/.config/ON4QZ, so with some
pre/post scripting maybe with changeable symlinks it would be easy
to have more than one setup. Running two or more instances
concurrently might be a little more difficult though.

Re: QSSTV - supporting multiple configurations
Hello Phil,
Can QSSTV support multiple configurations? I can't find anything in the manual about it.
Natively, no.. Qsstv doesn't offer any command line options to load
different configurations.? That said, it shouldn't be hard to write
a wrapper script to swap in/out different
.config/ON4QZ/qsstv_9.0.conf config files to emulate supporting
different configurations.? Btw, all the documentation, FAQs, etc can
be found here:??

Just my two cents. IMHO for field operations like SOTA, WWFF, ARES chromebook fits nicely - light, resilient, long battery life, inexpensive to buy. No bells and whistles, of course, just the software you need in the field.
