Re: Recent w1hkj site changes, and Flrig sources.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Dave I would assume the migration isn't complete yet and have also seen the very old alpha versions on the org site, but the old site contents by direct URL are still there. eg; Currently at 2.0.05.93 - still available. I don't have a URL for archived alphas sorry. (like where to find
2.0.05.85) I think the only "new" alpha on the org site is fldigi 4.2.06.24 Cheers Bob VK2YQA On 5/2/25 09:34, Dave, G?WBX via

Recent w1hkj site changes, and Flrig sources.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi. After a bit of a hiatus with the computer here..? (I lost the ability to use a GUI desktop, as a "non-root user"!) Anyway.?? I'm re-establishing things so I can once again work on
Flrig and tweak a few things for my TS-870s, and continue to add a
back-end for the IC-R9000. ? (At least my backup strategy worked!) I had been working with the Flrig alpha, 2.0.05.75, and was in the process of migrating my work to 2.0.05.85 when I had the computer issues in late November 2024.? ? (long story to whoever wants it!? I still don't know what happened, or why, but I only recently got it flying straight and level again.) Anyway.? I read that Dave (HKJ) migrated his website from a .com to a .org? And indeed, if you go to the .com site, there is a big message to go to the .org?? Not a problem.? But...?? Where are the up-to-date / latest sources for Flrig? (I was wanting to check for later alpha release for Flrig, later
than 2.0.05.85 that I have.) The new site lists a release of 2.0.04, but there was a 2.0.05 released, and later alphas present after that. The new site seems not to have any Flrig sources at?? ?? other than:-?? 1.3.22.14? ! What happened to the 2.0.05 release, and later alpha's ? However, The links on Dave's .org site to sourceforge work, where
at least the Flrig release v2.0.05 is present! Anyway, "Confused of North Bucks UK" is now off to watch some
mindless drivel on TV, as I've frazzled the faded grey cell a bit
too much today. 73. Dave G0WBX.

"INFO2" macro PSK signal report.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi. Using Fldigi
4.2.06.07 Why is it, that when
using PSK31 if one invokes the INFO1 and INFO2 signal report
macro's, where you get a S/N and IMD value to report to the
other op. But, using the other faster (single channel/carrier) PSK modes, though you get a S/N value, the IMD report is replaced by "Phase" and a value. The same is shown in the small readouts at the very bottom of the Fldigi UI. First question:-???
Is this intentional?? (If so, why?) Second question:-?? What does the "Phase" value relate to, and why that instead of IMD? (A higher value seems to be shown for worse IMD sidebands, yes "many" from some stations!.) I cannot find anything in the user manual about this.? Only links to Wikipedia that relate to phase encoding. Someone put me out of my misery please! :-) Best Regards. Dave G0WBX.

Re: Possible RSID code bug THOR25 vs DominoeEX Micro
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWell it's summer here Robert, the right part of the year for
thunderstorms and flooding. My brain has lots of loud banging
noises and my feet/washing are very wet... LSB/USB swap was one of the first things I checked, having seen a reverse Thor mode problem in the past. It did however look like DominoEX Micro on the waterfall. I only ever build from source and try to "break" any changes with the weird things I do with the FL suite!

Possible RSID code bug THOR25 vs DominoeEX Micro

exists? ---- In the Wed Jan 1 20:39:59 2025 -0600 commit the remark Not sure how this all works but may be relevant. Cheers Bob VK2YQA |

Re: Running Linux on a Chromebook
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMy son and I linuxized a retired Toshiba ¡°Swanky¡± chromebook.? Right now it¡¯s running NixOS with the xfce desktop, which handles the odd hardware (sound card, etc.) quite well. ? We did this in order to run FLDigi and JS8Call for digital modes, and that works well so long as the Chromebook can access an NTP server (it¡¯s onboard clock is atrocious). ? We had to break the write protect on the onboard storage and add an expansion SD card to gain enough space for the OS.? Probably not for the faint of heart, but it was a fun hacking job! ? 73 KD2HBV ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>
