Richard,

What version are you using?

Happy New Year to you Dave and the very best health. Thanks for your ( and others) work on fldigi. It is a mainstay for my ham radio operations.

Hi Richard

I think I remember that datatype error back in (my) 4.6 days. This would however be a recent change in the current master branch? Mine is at Hamlib 4.7~git 2024-12-29T16:43:39Z SHA=028d75 64-bit

Is it likely to be reverted in this branch?

Hi Tim.

But, does the "Serialization" information set by Icom, appear in the strings returned to the system when they are enumerated on connection?

dmesg -WH should show it on finding the device, if it does.? eg:-? For a FTDI based device ...

dave@DellXPS:~$ dmesg -WH
[Dec31 10:45] usb 3-2.2: new full-speed USB device number 78 using xhci_hcd
[  +0.118563] usb 3-2.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6001, bcdDevice= 6.00
[  +0.000021] usb 3-2.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[  +0.000007] usb 3-2.2: Product: FT232R USB UART
[  +0.000005] usb 3-2.2: Manufacturer: FTDI
[  +0.000005] usb 3-2.2: SerialNumber: AK06ML2R
[  +0.007436] ftdi_sio 3-2.2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
[  +0.000066] usb 3-2.2: Detected FT232R
[  +0.002631] usb 3-2.2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB5

(My emphasis.)


What does that show for your Icom when it is connected?


The above will NOT show any udev created devices, but:-

dave@DellXPS:~$ ls /dev/tty*
/dev/tty    /dev/tty16  /dev/tty24  /dev/tty32  /dev/tty40  /dev/tty49  /dev/tty57  /dev/tty8      /dev/ttyS3
/dev/tty0   /dev/tty17  /dev/tty25  /dev/tty33  /dev/tty41  /dev/tty5   /dev/tty58  /dev/tty9      /dev/ttyTMV71
/dev/tty1   /dev/tty18  /dev/tty26  /dev/tty34  /dev/tty42  /dev/tty50  /dev/tty59  /dev/ttyACM0   /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/tty10  /dev/tty19  /dev/tty27  /dev/tty35  /dev/tty43  /dev/tty51  /dev/tty6   /dev/ttyACM1   /dev/ttyUSB1
/dev/tty11  /dev/tty2   /dev/tty28  /dev/tty36  /dev/tty44  /dev/tty52  /dev/tty60  /dev/ttyACM2   /dev/ttyUSB2
/dev/tty12  /dev/tty20  /dev/tty29  /dev/tty37  /dev/tty45  /dev/tty53  /dev/tty61  /dev/ttyICR9K  /dev/ttyUSB3
/dev/tty13  /dev/tty21  /dev/tty3   /dev/tty38  /dev/tty46  /dev/tty54  /dev/tty62  /dev/ttyS0     /dev/ttyUSB4
/dev/tty14  /dev/tty22  /dev/tty30  /dev/tty39  /dev/tty47  /dev/tty55  /dev/tty63  /dev/ttyS1     /dev/ttyUSB5
/dev/tty15  /dev/tty23  /dev/tty31  /dev/tty4   /dev/tty48  /dev/tty56  /dev/tty7   /dev/ttyS2

Does.? The two in Blue in this case.

As a check...

dave@DellXPS:~$ readlink /dev/ttyTMV71 /dev/ttyICR9K
ttyUSB5
ttyUSB4

Reveals who's what, etc...?? Should some old-school software need the default format.


Flrig these days shows everything the system presents, when you go to configure a rig.
(Assuming the thing is connected before starting Flrig.? Else, use the "Update" button to the left of the port field in Config/Setup/Tranceiver.

Older versions will also accept things like /dev/ttyICR9K in the appropriate field of the radio specific .prefs file Flrig uses.
But, if something changes the setting in the settings UI, that will be reset.

Using a bash script to copy a fixed version of the .prefs file to the .flrig folder, before launching Flrig, can nail it down, so that if anyone does fiddle, exiting and restarting (via the script) will restore normal service.? (Possibly of use under EMCOM conditions, with less skilled operators perhaps.)

That looks much like what happens, when Fldigi is not initially set for the correct CW WPM speed for the incoming signal, but eventually figures it out for itself.

Check the two figures in boxes bottom left of the main window when in CW mode while it's printing garbage, and then gets sensible.? One you can set, the other it what it finds for itself.

Hi Tobias,

I'll fix the tooltip.? I tested for Mid-Latitude-Disturbed NVIS 0 dB s/n; with 0, 1, 2 msec shaping.? Did not see any decrease in decode performance.? 4 or more msec will effect decode under stressful HF conditions.? The shaping does reduce the bandwidth for those situations where that is critical and signal is expected to be strong.

Hi Dave

Had a build failure here. I build/test every fldigi change plus hamlib just prior. I have not tried to run this down, so only regard as background info.

Hamlib comes from git pull;
./bootstrap
./configure --with-python-binding PYTHON_VERSION='3.11' (FreeDATA?)
nice make -j 4
sudo make install
Hamlib 4.7~git 2024-12-29T16:43:39Z SHA=028d75 64-bit

fldigi build is vanilla
./configure --enable-optimizations=native
nice make -j 4

Added configurable tone shaping.? This is specifc to THOR.

???????????????????????????? 0 msec risetime???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 4 msec risetime

4 msec leading/trailing edge is similar to a CW signal.
