Re: FLdigi graphical face lift
I agree 100% !!! Please don't change anything, it's SO GOOD and simple! :) Any change in UX is always upsetting users.

Re: FLDIGI Macro to Generate 1477 Hz 1.5 Second Long Tone for W3HZU SSTV Repeater on 28.680
开云体育Hi Keith The way out of the errant Thor idle is probably to change the modem to "NULL" just after the PUSH command and use POP to bring it back. eg <PUSH> Also suggest you try a round number of TUNE seconds just in case. See the W1AW and ARRL mode change broadcast example in the manual
for reference. I found Dave's doc. It appears to be an email rather than PDF. It is 4-5 years old so may have changed. Cheers Bob ========================= Macro Parse/Execute pseudo code On 23/1/25 07:26, Keith/KI5US via

Thanks Bob,
Your other recommendation seems to have fixed the problem, so I don't have to go down this path (yet).

Hi Philip
I had that with Debian 12. I don't remember exactly how I worked through solving it, but my current build needs build/Makefile modified by adding -fpermissive to CXXFLAGS. (ie between the qmake and make step)
I also had to disable some of the hamlib polling code as the waterfall jumped and smeared. Pretty sure that was a QT5 and kernel incompatibility though, to do with reinserting an old NVIDIA video driver. I also run flrig which for QSSTV needs the hamlib connection in front of that.
I often put out HamDRM/DSSTV calls on 14233 but no replies. I don't really use the analogue SSTV modes (14230). Also had A16 RS1 working on a 1000km 40m path which kind of defies logic! (A is usually a VHF/UHF mode)

Thanks Bob,
Clearing out the config file fixed it for me. Now just need to wait until the bands reopen tomorrow before seeing if I can actually receive signals.?
I know what hash collision meant but had no idea what data was being hashed to produce the collision.

Hi Phil
I am half remembering... Might have been a config file issue for me, that starting with a new config fixed. ie rename ./.config/ON4QZ/qsstv_9.0.conf to something else and relaunch QSSTV.
I externally modify qsstv_9.0.conf as my QTH is continually changing, so may have messed it up.
May have also been something in the image cache subdirectories. I probably backed up and deleted the cache contents. Worst case I suggest starting with an empty structure then copy the old image files (only) back in.
Sorry kind of vague, but it works for me now.
The fault means "when two distinct pieces of data in a hash table share the same hash value" which for me was probably two locations had duplicate data.

Re: FLDIGI Macro to Generate 1477 Hz 1.5 Second Long Tone for W3HZU SSTV Repeater on 28.680
Thanks much, Bob!? This works better but between the TUNE and RX commands, the mode still shifts from a pure (TUNE) tone to one characteristic of the mode fldigi was currently in. I.e., if I'm in THOR4 at 576 Hz, and execute the macro, it (now) jumps to 1477 (good!), turns off TXRSID (good!), executes TUNE for about 2 seconds (good!), then switches to THOR4 while still transmitting (oops!).? If I click the TUNE button twice, the rig then returns to the RX state at the original waterfall position (576 in this example) and stops transmitting (good).
?
I was using Dave's excellent online documentation for fldigi under the MACROS section but don't see references to the use of @ and ! as you've shown.? Any chance you have a reference for Dave's document on the sequencing aspect?? I had no idea that @ had associated uses in the MACRO other than as a modifier to the label tag. I'd like to learn a bit more about these fine points.
?
Again, thanks...

Re: FLDIGI Macro to Generate 1477 Hz 1.5 Second Long Tone for W3HZU SSTV Repeater on 28.680
开云体育Hi Keith I'd expect the last two commands need to be prefixed @ so they
run post TX>RX. TXRSID toggle I think will be TXRSID:t You can restrict the PUSH to just the freq if you like. It (and other commands) may even need an inline (!) prefix. As I remember there is a default re-sequencing that can be applied.? Not all commands will accept the delayed or inline prefix. The
manual is quite detailed in this. Dave also produced a fairly
detailed document (some time ago) that covers the sequencing
aspect. so; <PUSH:f> I don't promise this will work! Not sure if TUNE accepts a
subsecond argument either. If not, a workaround is to TX a 1.5 sec
1477Hz WAV file using <AUDIO:filename.wav> Cheers Bob VK2YQA ? On 23/1/25 05:35, Keith/KI5US via

FLDIGI Macro to Generate 1477 Hz 1.5 Second Long Tone for W3HZU SSTV Repeater on 28.680
The Keystone ARC in York, PA, runs a SSTV repeater on 28.680. It requires a 1477 Hz tone for 1.5 seconds that (should) trigger the repeater to send a CW-ID.? Then, one can send a SSTV image to be received by the repeater.?
?
I use QSSTV in Ubuntu which does have a 'Transmit Tone' feature (little music note in the transmit panel).? However, the transmit time variable appears to be type integer, so it's 1 second or 2 seconds....not 1.5 seconds.
?
So, I thought I'd try to get FLDIGI (4.2.06) to generate that tone (and give me an opportunity to explore some of the seldom-used macro commands).? Here's what I came up with:
?
<PUSH>
<TXRSID:on|off|t> <GOFREQ:1477> <TUNE:1.5> <RX> <TXRSID:on|off|t> <POP> ?
In theory, FLDIGI should transmit just a 1477 Hz tone for 1.5 seconds, then return to whatever cursor audio frequency and TXRSID state it was in prior to executing the macro.
?
It sort-of works.? Audio frequency doesn't change but the rig goes to transmit for about the right time.? Starting with TXRSID selected, it doesn't seem to toggle and it transmits a TXRSID before returning to receive. So,? ?TXRSID:on|off|t? ?and? ?GOFREQ? ?don't seem to work as I'd have expected.
?
I suspect I'm not using these macro commands correctly....I'd welcome anyone more familiar with these that cares to comment/suggest.
?

Re: FLdigi graphical face lift
Indeed. One of the main attractions of Fldigi (and companions) is the simple and clean UI. As a result everything works well on lower capacity hardware, and works very well indeed.? Even on a little Acer One, that only has an Intel Atom CPU.? Not exactly a computing powerhouse, but is great for portable use.? (Even the more complex MFSK modes work well.) Please don't go down the bloatware route!? Just because someone thinks things "Look Old". Newer is not always better. 73. Dave G0WBX. |
Re: software for SSTV??
Look for QSSTV on Github.? (Just googling it found it for me.) Install all the needed dependencies (copy paste the example command line incantation.? If anything already exists, it'll either get updated or left alone.) Then follow the build instructions. Job done.? (Other than adding it to the launch menu, but that's simple.) On first launch, after getting it to see your radio/soundcard combo, let it calibrate itself to that audio device's sample rate. After that, it "just works". It's author is generally reachable too. All the above just done in about 20 mins on LMDE 6 just fine. The distro's own repo' version was some way behind, but also worked well enough when I tried it before building the later github version. Rigcontrol is via Hamlib.? I point that at FlRig of course. 73. Dave G0WBX. |
