No S/SWR/Power Meter on Ten Tec 550 Pegasus
Hi all,
Thanks for all the work you do on the fl-suite of software.
Wanted to share an issue I¡¯m having with flrig and the Ten Ten 550 Pegasus transceiver. I can connect and operate the radio just fine through a USB-to-serial adapter properly configured from flrig, minus the S meter, SWR meter, and power meter. I have
tried versions?2.0.05 and 2.0.0 on Mac, as well as versions 1.4.7, 2.0.0, and 2.0.05 on Fedora Linux and Raspbian, to no avail. None show the any indication of the meter.
I¡¯m happy to help troubleshoot further, just don¡¯t know what would be helpful right now. Any help here would be great!
Very respectfully,
Geoff Marr

Can't the setting be put here, kinda as it was

You should be able to change the LPM setting during
reception.
Please test and report results.

Hello! Meanwhile, I did some research...
First I found this:
in which the WEFAX settings are described as any
kind of combination between 288/576 and 30,60,120,240
lpm...
at page 7 of the pdf, Kyodo news is quoted as
requiring 60 and 120 lpm / 576 IOC setting:
"Next Tokyo station is JJC, it is Kyodo News Agency.
Transmission speed is
60 lpm and IOC 576, sometimes 120 lpm when weather
charts are posted."
I also wrote to the owner of the internet site
and reached to me, indeed confirming that the setting
for 576/120 and 60 are needed in order to receive this
station... quoting his email:
"Yes, for Kyodo one needs 576/60. Fldigi removed
the line setting from its interface at some point,
quite a long time ?ago. What I did, was that I created
a copy of Fldigi source code and changed hardcoded 120
to 60. So for Kyodo decoding I would simply run a
second altered Fldigi.
So yes, I can confirm this behavior of a removed lines
dropdown, as it really was there before."
I think the best course of action is to permit
changing the combination of all those parameter as it
was before, also as it is described in the wefax
standard in the PDF i linked before - I will do it
myself but I'm not a skilled programmer anymore (I was
a programmer in the late '90 :) )
I will try to receive some transmission to test
them asap!

[OT] Re: MS apps under Ubuntu WINE
Re Zoom.
A group of 4 of us here use it regularly, they on Windows or
various phones, me generally on Linux (LMDE 6 now) and no issues
at all (other than me forgetting just what controls the
audio/camera interface selection!)
In the past we've had as many as a 15 participants using a
variety of computers tablets and phones, and all works very
well.?? (Even when many of us were also playing Uno online at the
same time, and thrashing the automatic Bot's into touch!)
I have a 100Mb LAN (Wired, not WiFi) and a 33/10Mb VDSL broadband
service.
No issues with lag, stuttering or whatever.
DM is often independently streaming something at the same time
too, to her phone or TV.
You may not find direct Linux equivalent tools to what you have
had on Windows, but there are usually many choices of similar
tools that can do the same job, it's just time to find and
evaluate them.
Libre Office is genuinely good, and very compatible with MS
Office in most things.? Just make sure you get as late a release
as you can.? Many distro's bundle it, but not always the latest
proven release.
If Ubuntu doesn't cut it for you, look at Linux Mint.? More or
less specifically created to make the transition from Windows
relatively easy.
All the best.
Dave G0WBX.? Who finally moved to Linux full time, after the
great Windows 10 "Push Download" that bricked my then Win7
machine!
I have not regretted moving at all.

ADIF 3.1.5 release with HELL submodes
Hello Dave,
ADIF 3.1.5 has been releases with new HELL submodes
Addition to the
and
enumerations of submodes FSKH245 and FSKH105.
Again if we do not implement submodes in FlDigi, probably best to
revert or take another look at:
Thanks, Barry

Re: MS apps under Ubuntu WINE
Zoom works well on chrome
I don't know how well your applications will work, but I use Windows Virtual Radar Server with mono on the Raspberry Pi.
Mono is an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework.
The gray area is that Virtual Radar Server offers a mono tarball, so it may not be an actual Windows application.
?
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
?
Start your program like this example:
mono VirtualRadar.exe
?
I hope you can figure it out...

Re: Where to get schooled on Linux desktop managers, compositors, UI interfaces??
Well, simply... software component that combines visual elements, like windows, graphics, and text, into a single image on a screen. X11 is the old compositor and Wayland is the new Linux standard. So its handling the on screen display of things.
The Desktop Environment (DE) is graphical user interface (GUI) elements such as icons, toolbars, wallpapers, and desktop widgets, i.e. its the GUI. Some of these ahve built in compositors.
I'm a KDE guy so in OpenSuse Tumbleweed I am at KDE Plasma 6 (the DE) and Wayland (the compositor).
I don't know what the Bookworm versions of these pieces are but from what I was able to see it may be behind the curve with the current leading edge of where the current versions of some of these apps are at. I know a year ago (is Bookworm that far behind compared to Tumbleweed, I don't know?) Wayland was pretty flaky.
So start with the DE. What is your preferred DE and why? (Because Debian/Ubuntu uses it is not the best answer ;) Decide on the DE and then the compositor will fall into place. Wayland is the future in compositors for Linux and it's solid on Tumbleweed, but this is with the latest versions of all of these components. The old X11 compositor is going away.
Conky is not all that Wayland friendly I hear. I still love Gkrellm and use that. This might shed some light on Conky and give you some ideas:
But the fix might be up to the Conky devels or be using a later version (latest) of Conky. What version is that you are using and on what DE and what compositor?
Let us know if you have questions...

Re: Where to get schooled on Linux desktop managers, compositors, UI interfaces??
Steve,
While I can't answer all of you questions, being a user of Kubuntu, and not a developer, programmer, etc, the names you mention, Gnome, LXQT, etc., are all different desktop environments.? I'll put a link at the bottom of this email to a page that details them a bit.? Each is aimed at different audiences, and have varied capabilities.? Some are meant for systems with lower resources, such as Xubuntu.? Some software I have downloaded over the years has been meant for say, Gnome desktop, but has not worked with my go-to KDE desktop.? I don't know if that is still true, and have not had that issue occur here recently.?
The page I linked to includes these desktop environments and a description of each.? Each run on the Ubuntu platform.? So, I can change my desktop to each of these if I choose, making the desktops selectable at login.? The desktop variations give me the freedom to do this if I wish or need to for some reason.? There is a lot more variation in the linux world than the link I have included.? I'm sure others will comment soon.

Re: MS apps under Ubuntu WINE
I use LOTW / TQSL - natively... Zoom - natively (zero issues).
Use the FLseries, JTDX, Gridtracker2, and CQRlog - all native.
I have yet to rely on WINE.? Look at for the list of apps that I use - with links to the downloads.

Ham friends,
M$ has exceeded my tolerance.? The recent spate of marketing of AI and web-based data storage has spurred me to much greater Linux usage.
I¡¯m looking to find native Linux substitutes for as many applications as possible and running others in Ubuntu Linux WINE.
I typically use: ?LOTW TQSL, RufzXP, Precision CW Fistcheck, Zoom (for practice groups and classes ), Begalli CW Machine Manager (a keyer control application) ?and a few others.
The native Linux Zoom application has significant issues .? It does poorly with more than 2 people logged in.?
I am looking for good Linux apps for these programs and whether some of them can run under Ubuntu WINE.
Your advice is appreciated,
