FLAMP will not indicated a "CONNECT" status unless both ARQ and XMLRPC have connected. Use of both --arq-server-address/port and --xmlrpc-server-address/port have been set to unique values for each radio setup.

Debian is not a parent of ArchLinux, so ArchLinux is definitely not a copycat...examine both the package management, file locations, etc.

Re: Moving to linux, how to set up Ft-950?

 

Instead of downloading Fldigi and the rest of the ham programs,? try downloading the installer from KM4ACK or Andy's Ham Linux. I use KM4ACKs version of installer. It covers about anything Ham radio. You run an install script and watch the magic happen. It will work on any computer with Linux on it. I have it running on Linux Mint .

Re: Moving to linux, how to set up Ft-950?

 

While Arch Linux does not come with a pre installed GUI, you can install the desktop environment of your choice and then install WSJT-X and Fldigi. Both are available in the Arch User Repository. With that said, Arch is probably not a good choice for a new Linux user or for someone looking for plug and play applications.

Re: Moving to linux, how to set up Ft-950?

 

From hard won experience with Linux and USB-Serial adapters.

Bite the bullet, and buy some "genuine" FTDI chipset based devices.? They have unique USB serial numbers, that can be used with 'UDEV Rules' to reliably create such serial port ID's as "/dev/ttyFT950" regardless how it is connected to the PC, direct or via a USB Hub.? And that will stay the same for each session too, 100% repeatable and reliable.

In the UK, Technofix are a good supplier of such devices..

Avoid Prolific and similar chipset based devices, many online selkers are selling fakes!? In their defence, they don't know either!

Re: FTDx10 and Raspberry Pi and Pulse and FLRig

 

About the CAT interface and FLRIG ... I used the same settings that I use on my other two RP and I just kept trying to use interface:
?
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_01829563-if00-port0
?
and eventually it worked.? I did not do anything different, I just kept trying and the last time, it worked.? I have no idea why it failed to work for 10 or 20 tries then worked on try 21.? There were numerous reboots during that time, I don't get it.??
?
About the audio interface ... I have an FT710 and FT897.? Both have been running for months and are current on updates/upgrades.? All three RPs are running the same OS, pulse, and FLDIGI FLAMP and FLMSG versions.? In FLDIGI the RPs on the 710 and 897 use interface?
?
?
Note the "USB Audio Device".? That category does not display in pulse on my third RP.? On that machine, I get this:
?
?
There is nothing about USB Audio Device.? It works and I am satisfied with that but it is different for some reason that I have not found.??
?
Thanks for the advice.? I will review the other information and I may take some of your suggestions :)


Re: Moving to linux, how to set up Ft-950?

 

The port to use may show up as USB or ACM

Before you turn on the radio?with USB cable connected, open a terminal?and type

?ls /dev/tty*

this will show all tty ports

turn on radio

again run?

?ls /dev/tty*

what is new?

could be ttyUSB0
or ttyACM0

That is the port to use.

Also be sure to be a member of "dialout" group

in Terminal?

?sudo usermod -aG <group_name> <username>

log out , log in?

in terminal

groups username

to confirm membership?in group

Thanks Dan KC2STA

When selecting the USB port (or serial port) Linux may list it with the CODEC name rather than the port name. Same for FLDIGI or WSJT-X. Try using the port with the CODEC name first.

  • SET RECEIVE WIDTH FROM FRONT PANEL TO MAX in PKT/USB mode, 2400.
  • Noise Blanker and any receive DSP OFF, to avoid distortion.
  • SET AGC TO OFF BY PUSHING AND HOLDING THE AGC BUTTON. You didn't know you had anything but AUTO, SLOW, MED, FAST, did you? Use RF gain to prevent overload on the waterfall. Keep the lower left hand bar graph below 70 dB and in the GREEN.
  • 111 TGEN TX PWR = 35. This is nominal power for my Ameritron linear. It also avoids any ALC action at up to 20 watt power levels controlled by the PWR slider on the FT8 window, and the TX level knob on the Tigertronics box. It also covers you if something goes nuts to prevent overdrive to 100 watt level. It also protects the amplifier from overdrive, if you are using one. My Ameritron ALS-1300 works correct for most of the bands at this level, but beware that 12 and 10 meters should never be driven higher than the level stated in the manual.

Re: Moving to linux, how to set up Ft-950?

 

I think you should be aware that Linux makes a distinction between a USB port and a serial port at a DB9 or DB25. It is even diferent in the devices in /dev folder of available devices. USB ports are often desiganted as USBn (i.e. USB plus a serial id from zero to n). and serial ports like RS232 are designated as TTYn (i.e. serial port TTY plus zero to n).?
?
The RS232 device common on older computers, can be connected directly to a serial port on your SignaLink if it of the serial port version. Otherwise, if you have a serial port version of the SignaLink,? use a USB port adapter for serial ports.
?
In the case of the USB version of the SignaLink,? it is plug-and-play and you have available USB ports on your computer.
?
As far as the 950 goes, you do not want to use the SignaLink to mic adapter unless there is no other options. That is due to the way a mic is handled internally (i.e. compressor, eq. , etc.) The preferred option is the aux port on the rear panel and the SignaLink adapter cable for the 950.
?
When selecting the USB port (or serial port) Linux may list it with the CODEC name rather than the port name. Same for FLDIGI or WSJT-X. Try using the port with the CODEC name first. There are also options in the SignaLink box that my need configuration. There is very good documentation on the Tigertronics web page. Some trial and error may be needed to get it set up properly.
?
I found this on another web page that may be helpful. Settings for the FT-950 (caution-baud rate of more than 4800 baud may not be reliable):
?
  • SET RECEIVE WIDTH FROM FRONT PANEL TO MAX in PKT/USB mode, 2400.
  • Noise Blanker and any receive DSP OFF, to avoid distortion.
  • SET AGC TO OFF BY PUSHING AND HOLDING THE AGC BUTTON. You didn't know you had anything but AUTO, SLOW, MED, FAST, did you? Use RF gain to prevent overload on the waterfall. Keep the lower left hand bar graph below 70 dB and in the GREEN.
  • 111 TGEN TX PWR = 35. This is nominal power for my Ameritron linear. It also avoids any ALC action at up to 20 watt power levels controlled by the PWR slider on the FT8 window, and the TX level knob on the Tigertronics box. It also covers you if something goes nuts to prevent overdrive to 100 watt level. It also protects the amplifier from overdrive, if you are using one. My Ameritron ALS-1300 works correct for most of the bands at this level, but beware that 12 and 10 meters should never be driven higher than the level stated in the manual.
  • 064 J3E TX BPF = 4 - 26 or 400 to 2600 for minimum distortion when using an audio derived mode.
  • 114 TGEN VOX = dAtA (only necessary when using VOX, NOT the hardware PTT on RTS in the RT systems CAT cable.)
  • MODE-DATA GROUP:
    • 050 DATA DT GAIN = 30 (Sets range of TX knob on Tigertronics)
    • 051 DATA OUT LVL = 15 (Sets range of RX knob on Tigertronics)
    • 052 DATA VOX DLY = 30 (Not used with CAT control)
    • 053 DATA V GAIN = 50 (Not used with CAT control)
    • 054 DATA PKT DISP = 0
    • 055 DATA PKT SFT = 1000 (center of the spectrum in the waterfall)
    • BAUD RATE = 4800
    • DATA BITS = EIGHT
    • STOP BITS = 2
    • HANDSHAKE = XON/XOFF
    • FORCE CONTROL LINES:
      • DTR = HIGH
      • RTS = HIGH
        This actually is used to send power to work the Tigertronics box, not rig control.
      • PTT METHOD BOX, SELECT: CAT which is a much more positive method than VOX
      • TRANSMIT AUDIO SOURCE IS GREYED OUT (NO CHOICE)
      • MODE = DATA/PKT
      • SPLIT OPERATION = NONE
