Re: Fldigi ver4.2.06 and 4.2.06.21
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi. Well I said I'll report back.? But it'll be brief as I've been "booked for other things" (again.? I wish DM would give more advance notice, but when I suggest that, I get "The Look"!) Anyway. 4.2.06.24 builds OK and runs.? But, the AFC control functionality
is still weird, but in a somewhat different way to .21.?
(Difficult to get my head around it, let alone describe it!) Next stage is to archive all the settings and log files, and see if a "clean" build works correctly. I rarely "Install" it these days, preferring to run it via a
script, pointing to it's location in the projects version file
tree.? It is also much easier to revert to an earlier release if
issues prevail.? At least that's what I find. ~/app-srx/fldigi-4.2.06.41/src/fldigi??? For example. The script containing that, itself invoked from the system menu tool.? If there is a better way, I'm all ears!? :-) If a clean build does behave, then some investigation is needed perhaps, as I cant be the only one to update the executable with a new build, and expect things to at least "behave sanely". One thing I've seen, that I sort of understand, is if RXID is active, AFC cannot be controlled, regardless of if it is active or not.?? I can understand the idea that if a station is using TXID, you shouldn¡¯t need AFC to receive it, but there are some that use it, and still drift, so we need the free choice to use AFC or not please. Also, if the AFC button/functionality is "blanked/greyed out",
then the background AFC functionality, if it was in use, that
should be turned off before the gui control is disabled. 73 All. ??? Dave G0WBX.?? Gathering tools to install a CCTV camera for a disabled friend of Mrs WBX.

Re: FL Digi Help
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOpen your System settings app and go to Privacy & Security and scroll down to the Privacy section. You will likely see ¡°Fldigi has been blocked to protect your Mac¡±. Click on Open Anyway and follow the prompts until it opens. You should have to do this only once for Fldigi but you may have to repeat the process for other unsigned apps that you download.

FL Digi Help
Hi All,
I have a question on? FL Digi on a Mac.? I had an older MacBook Pro with an Intel processor.? I just bought a new MacBook Air with the M3 processor. I am having problems getting FLDigi to work on it.? I gave the Mac permission to run the program and permission to use microphone.? I downloaded and installed FL Digi 4.2.06 .? When it comes up, it asked for permission several times and keeps on ending the program.? Is it the M3 processor or is it something I should change on the Mac???
I hope somebody has an answer to this.
Thank you,
Pat

FTDx10 and Raspberry Pi and Pulse and FLRig
I am slightly embarrassed to bring this up, I thought I knew how to do this, but I'm stuck.??
?
I have a Win 11 laptop, I downloaded the windows drivers from Yaesu, connected to the radio, FLRig immediately worked.??
?
I have a Raspberry Pi running bookworm.? I switched it from Pipeline to Pulse and from Wayland to X11.? lsusb shows the Silicon Laps CP2105 Dual UART Bridge.? When I open Pulse, it shows PCM2903C Audio CODEC but it does not show any USB drivers.? When I try FLRIG config FTDX10, click update then select
?
"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_01829563-if00-port0",
?
baud=38400 and 1 stop bit, and click Init, I get "Transceiver not responding".? If I try the other port:
?
"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_01829563-if01-port0"
?
... I get the same thing.? I tried to search for a solution and did not find anything. I have two more RP with identical config running a Yaesu FT710 and a Yaesu FT897.? Both are excellent, no issues.? All suggestions are welcome! |

Re: New #NexusDR-X Linux software build from scratch; #fldigi will start; #flamp will not.

Sorry for the immediate follow-up repost:?
Just to be clear: FLAMP is working perfectly now, using only a single radio, subject to the workarounds mentioned:
1. FLAMP doesn't start from the GUI menu: use the command line in a terminal window. Check!
2. FLAMP (right radio) does not work with FLDigi (right Radio): use FLDigi (left radio). Check!
?
Thanks again. 73.

Re: Fldigi ver4.2.06 and 4.2.06.21
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýA CNAME DNS record would probably do it. Problem is that Dave may want the site hostname for something else, or he'd be giving it up and no longer have DNS authority over it. You may be able to get away with making a local host declaration
on your PC though ie directs to 72.52.250.187

flrig alpha and icom ic-7760
Hi,
I'm playing with this and, at first look, IC-7760 seems compatible with IC-7610 handling, so for any brave souls here is a patch to test: To be applied on top of git://git.code.sf.net/p/fldigi/flrig pu/df branch. ps. power levels are interpolated, so could incorrectly reflect real power -- Arkadiusz Mi?kiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org ) |

Re: Fldigi ver4.2.06 and 4.2.06.21
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Dave AFC is not relevant to all modes. Back in the 4.2.06.alpha evolutions I mentioned to the forum that it wasn't working, but was indicating "on" with the multicarrier PSKR modems. RSID action was also involved as it kind of replaces AFC action. RSID Squelch and MFSK AFC were patched only last month. (see Changelog) ie 4.2.06.24 has some associated changes. As I recall that also involved "more" greying out of the AFC button when it wasn't active. I'd suggest discarding 4.2.06.21 in favour of 4.2.06.24 for any further testing.

Fldigi ver4.2.06 and 4.2.06.21
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi. Running on LMDE 6 all up-to-date, on a 4 core Intel platform with
8G of RAM. Fldigi 4.2.06.21 (alpha) has a buggy AFC feature. It's been flaky since I first tried it, but intermittently the control (lower right, under the T/R button) would be "Greyed Out" so unable to change it's state.? The "greyed out" LED sort of indicates AFC is disabled, but in truth it is enabled and causes problems with noisy MFSK signals, where it can wander off to a neighbouring QRM signal. Restarting Fldigi used to (most, but not all times) fix it, but now the control is permanently disabled, but the behind GUI AFC functionality is still running, and I'm unable to turn that off..
ver4.2.06 (release.)? It's AFC seems to mostly work as "normal".?? With no changes to the perfs files.?? That is, as configured, they both use the same files in the default location just fine, but the .21 Alpha version is very confused about if it has an enabled AFC control, or not.? Plus as above, when the on/off control is disabled, the AFC functionality is running! Everything else seems OK, as far as what I've used anyway.??
Though the logic of what modes allow the AFC to be used, I haven't
fathomed yet.
I can only conclude the AFC On/Off control Enable/Disable in 4.2.06.21 is buggy, so have reverted to the release version. 73. Dave G0WBX.

#NexusDR-X

Hi Chris,
?
I am glad it is working better. I know we are getting into the weeds a little, but looking at your command lines shown here, it seems that you have a space character between the double dash and the option, that is
?
-- config-dir
?
instead of
?
--config-dir
?
Am I?seeing that correctly?
?
These will, of course, have different meanings to the command line parser, which in the first case will see it as two separate arguments and probably fail. For many built-ins the double dash often means no more commands follow such as this (from man page):
?
grep -- -e filename.txt
?
This is how you search for "dash e" in a file instead of having grep think that you are telling it "-e".
?
Could I ask you to try it one more time with the " " removed between the "--" and the parameters? (Twice).? And I wonder if those are the 'random inputs' that the program is squawking about....
?
73,
Dave

PROGRESS!!
?
First of all, thanks to everyone who chimed in on this. This is my first linuxham post and your responses made me feel really welcome.
Second, I am now on the air with FLAMP. Here's an update.
As a test, I switched to the left radio option, which uses the default xmlrpc port of 7362. FLAMP is now working perfectly, sort of.
Symptom 1: I still have the symptom where the menu button doesn't launch FLAMP. Symptom 2: However, I can launch FLAMP from the terminal window and it works perfectly. Symptom 3: The cli prompt does not return as long as FLAMP is running. In fact, I get update messages as FLAMP transmits files, so I assume this is normal: pi@nexuspi:~ $?flamp -ti "Flamp (left radio)" --config-dir $HOME/.nbems-left --xmlrpc-server-port 7362 autosend 715 Here is the netstat output while FLAMP is running: pi@nexuspi:~ $ netstat -an | grep -e 736
tcp ? ? ? ?0 ? ? ?0 0.0.0.0:7362 ? ? ? ? ? ?0.0.0.0:* ? ? ? ? ? ? ? LISTEN ? ?? tcp ? ? ? ?0 ? ? ?0 127.0.0.1:7362 ? ? ? ? ?127.0.0.1:60666 ? ? ? ?

ESTABLISHED tcp ? ? ? ?0 ? ? ?0 127.0.0.1:60666 ? ? ? ? 127.0.0.1:7362 ? ? ? ? ?ESTABLISHED pi@nexuspi:~ $ ?
Since I only have one radio connected to my Nexus DR-X, I can live without the right-radio option. So, I will keep the desktop file issue on the back burner for now and get back to OTA file transfers using FLAMP. 73 all, and thanks again.
