Re: What are the settings to get Fldigi to control my FTDX10?

 

Regarding the sound coming from the headphones, this indicates that probably the wrong sound device is selected in sound settings.
?
Regarding the CAT control, I believe? that FT-DX10 use similar commands as FT-710 does.
Why don't you try the FT-710 xml file?

I worked on getting this radio working yesterday. I got hamlib to at least partially work. I see a waterfall and can control the radio but the response is sluggish. I'm still working on it. I use hamlib with other apps and it works well. Did you get yours to work?

Re: #logging #ubuntu #logging #ubuntu

 

Hello Bill
?
There is also QLOG
There are PPA repositories in order to install and get future updates.
It look like it is an active project.
?
I tried running it on a Linux Mint 22 machine. This is based on Ubuntu 24.04, so it may be suitable for you.
?
Unfortunately, my Linux PC is not my main machine for amateur radio use, so maybe there are issues that I have not faced during the simple testing I have done.
I have not used QLOG for everyday use, so my experience was just: install it, run it and import the log.

Having a difficult time finding a logging program that works on Ubuntu 24.04.
CQRLOG has problems with MySQL.? Same with XLOG.
KLOG will not interface with LOTW either directly or through ADIF file - TQSL gives errors on KLOG generated ADIF file.
Anyone had success with a decent logging program on Ubuntu 24.04?

2 instances of fldigi running - Bug report

 

开云体育

Just for info, I doubt anyone else would want to do this.

Linux Bookworm 12.9, fldigi 4.2.06.20

I run 2 instances of fldigi quite often. Usually to concurrently decode two different modems. I do however also use remote SDR download & playback to test modem/flmsg/flamp etc performance.

Have found that the playback of a wav file on one instance, stops the other instance from decoding the AF stream from the rig, but I think it does still respond to an RSID.?

ie there is some switchable shared resource that is being used by multiple instances.

Report for possible interest only.

Re: [KM4ACK-Pi] Trouble installing VARA on RPi4

 

Dave,

There is no native Linux implementation of VARA. However, Ardop is an alternative for HF Winlink. Ardopcf () is an open source multi-platform implementation of Ardop that I maintain.

The performance is not as good as VARA, and it has some bugs that I'm still working on, but it is usable on both Linux and Windows. It pairs well with Pat (), the open source multi-platform Winlink client. These both also run well on low end hardware including the Raspberry Pi Zero.

Re: [KM4ACK-Pi] Trouble installing VARA on RPi4

 

I forget it's name, but is/was there not a native Linux implementation of VARA (maybe not all of it) specifically for portable use?

Not sure if it was fully open source though...

I have been doing some evaluations of Linsim and I have identified a couple of minor issues.?
In my early tests, I selected 1 path and a spread of 1Hz and and AWGN with SNR=25dB.?
I did one set of tests at a sample rate of 8kbs and another set at 48kbs. I repeated the tests?
with path 1 selected, a spread of 1Hz, and an offset of +5Hz.?
?
I am using Windows 11+Dell G10 laptop.
?
Observations
?
1. I intercomapared Linsim v2.0.4 and and Moe Wheatley's Pathsim v1.0. I generated a 1kHz sinewave
with a 60 sec duration at a sample rate of 8kbs. In this case the time domain wave forms exhibited
very similar envelope fluctuations. When I performed an FFT on the records the resulting spectra
exhibited a Gaussian shape with the same width. When I applied an offset of +5.0Hz, the spectrum
shifted up by 5.0Hz with Pathsim. With Linsim, the Gaussian spectrum shifted down by -5.0 Hz. So there?
is a potential sign error with the offset in the Linsim code.
?
2. I performed an additional set of tests with a 1kHz sinewave with a 60sec duration and a sample
rate of 48kbs. In this case I did not use Pathsim since it only works with a sample rate of 8kbs.
I first applied the 1kHz sinewave to Linsim with Path 1 selected, a spread of 1 Hz, and 0 offset.
The resulting output waveform exhibited much faster envelope fluctuations. This was confirmed?
with the FFT, which showed markedly wider Gaussian spectrum-the width increased approximately 6x.
?
3. I suspected that this spread issue has something to do with the different data rates since is 6x
larger than the 8kbs case. I then repeated the test with a spread of 1/6 = 0.166, that?
corresponds to the ratio of the data rates 8kbs/48kbs. The resulting spectrum using an FFT showed?
the correct shape and frequency spread.
?
4. I think this spreading issue can be corrected in Linsim by applying a scale factor to the
?spread that accounts for the ratio: 8kbs/(the selected date rate kbs)--My best guess :-)
?
5. When I applied a +5.0 Hz offset with the 48kbs sinewave the resulting spectrum shifted down
-5.0 Hz. So this Offset sign error is the same at the higher sample rates.?
?
Summary
?
1. Linsim is a robust and much needed update to Pathsim that enables processing of .wav files?
for a variety of data rates in the range 8kbs to 48 kbs.
?
2. When using Linsim at data rates other than 8kbs, adjust the spread using a scale factor of
8kbs/(the selected data rate kbs).
?
3. There is a sign error in the offset. So simply switch the sign of the desired frequency offset.
?
4. I have applied pulse trains generated with Matlab to Linsim and I will report on my findings?
soon.

Re: CWID confusion.

 

Hi Dave.

What I have noticed when it fails to put the rig into Transmit, is...

The T/R button indicator "LED" in Fldigi itself, does not light up as it would usually do.

Therefore I suspect (at this time) the problem is within Fldigi itself.? (Ver 4.2.06 release version.)

This issue occurs "rarely", it is highly intermittent.? But only when using the CWID macro as you detailed.? Normal Fldig usage, from other macro's (the usual cq, answer, and others that key the radio, all work reliably.)

Most odd.

Re: Bug report/request - failure of various RsID/Lk operations fldigi V3 to V4

 

开云体育

Hi David,?

tnx for looking into this. I have not run down every permutation yet, but looking good.

- I don't know if it is a good idea to clear the Lk mode on a modem change. The operators may just be continuing a QSO at a different data rate. Difficult of course to differentiate between just staying in the current bandpass vs doing a major QSY.
- When the Lk state is cleared by a modem change (as above), its LED/indicator stays on. Clicking on it twice brings back the Lk state.
- I notice the Lk state clears on RSID receipt when "Retain TX Freq Lock" is disabled (a good thing). It might of course confuse an operator that has Lk set for another reason and RSID use was infrequent. One of those "read the manual" situations..?
- Thinking now in terms of NBEMS use (which I know little about, so just thinking out aloud), I wonder if there is any point trying to get away from any "pre session netting requirement", by the setting of Lk and "Retain TX Freq Lock" operationally. Not of course an issue with an IFK mode, but (say) switching to a wide PSKR modem for a flamp transfer, then back to the the messaging modem might be worth a discussion. Also means that operators can arrive and leave with less setup/config time. Handy if the traffic has a higher urgency. Would of course need more RSID use.

Using PSK250RC7, PSK500RC3, PSK125RC10 and PSK63RCx (ie not all modems checked)

With "Retain tx freq lock" enabled in RsID configuration plus Lk set, V4 no longer enables Lk operation nor splits the wfall TX/RX for the PSK125RC &? PSK63RC modems. The PSK250RC and PSK500RC modems act in the same way as 8PSKx and OFDMx modems, shifting TX/RX together, ignoring the RsID config setting and also not responding to Lk.

It might also be a good idea to force Lk operation when setting this RsID config parameter and update the tooltip to explain what is happening.

As it currently stands a mode such as PSK63RC5 is quite troublesome to RsID tune as disabling TX lock can cause TX/RX "walking" if any RIT is in play.

And since it is in the same "auto" tuning area it might be a good idea to modify the AFC button tooltip to grey out on unsupported modes. ie only single carrier PSK.

Re: CWID confusion.

fldigi and flrig communicate using the flrig xmlrpc server.? You can monitor the data requests and responses using the trace tool:



The data streams will be added to the trace.txt file in $HOME/.flrig (or the folder specified by --config-dir <PATHNAME>).

That might give you a clue as to what is occuring.
