¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWhat ham programs are required? ? 73Linux seems a tool you may not need ? Debian has great support for ham programs. 73

Thanks, how do I go about getting 73Linux on there, as 73Linux is 64bit? On Sun, May 4, 2025 at 7:56?PM Adrian Fewster, VK4TUX via <vk4tux=[email protected]> wrote:

How to use emulator with 19.3 Cinnamon 32bit
I have a friend who wants his laptop converted to Linux for use with ham radio, specifically 73Linux. However his laptop is an older machine, HP Mini laptop, and can only operate 32bit. I have heard about using emulators to be able to us 64bit software on 32bit, but I am new to all this and completely unsure on how to do that. Any guidance is greatly appreciated, and any suggestion on a different version of mint is welcome as well, as that was the only 32bit download that I was able to find.

Thanks,
Landon

Re: Wsjtx DE-19 and G106 Play together with Arch Linux

This is very interesting to me, too. I am using Tailscale and want to test with it. The DE-19 was giving me fits, so I have a DigiRig Mobile and cabling arriving today. I need two systems anyway, one for my G90 and one for the G106. I have built up a little mini-shack in a 10-inch rack for this. ?

Thanks Dave,
Thanks for your review and suggestions. I'll update the fake-it this weekend and add new screen shots too.??
?
I have the same love/hate with qpwgraph and will look to see if pavuctl can route to the xrdp audio path along with audio monitor. The audio routing is the ugliest part of the whole setup by far and the options for pi aren't as broad as desktop distros barring local builds.
?
Here at the house, I run OpenVPN server on my router, to safely connect to the pi when I'm remote as well, and the audio routing works as expected still.?
?
Too many options. :-)?
?
Thanks and take care,?

Re: Wsjtx DE-19 and G106 Play together with Arch Linux
#G106

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi. Nice tutorial Sir, well done. You might want to tell WSJTx, that the mode is USB, and to "Fake It" for Split. That moves the rig's TX frequency when needed, so as to keep the TX audio frequency in the higher part of the rigs passband, letting it's filters remove any audio harmonics. Such things are plaguing 20m in particular, spreading/splattering
FT8 harmonic signals above (and below!) the FT8 sweetspot,
wrecking other mode users.?? (There are other modes than FT8!) Well worth keeping the output power down if you ever run any PSK
mode, to at most a 1/4 of what the rig is capable of, again to
prevent splatter and intermod' signals spreading either side of
your intended transmit frequency.? With other modes (MFSK like)
it's usually a disipation limit in the rigs PA that needs care
taking over. Qpwgraph.? I personally have a love/hate relationship with that?(v0.3.9)
as despite following all the instructions, and saving the setup,
each time I launch it and reload the setup, the patchbay display
is a still mess of tangled green spaghetti.? It is also very
difficult to differentiate between any of several identical audio
interfaces, renaming is not supported.? (It also doesn¡¯t exit
cleanly, if you launch it from a command line, when it exits, you
have to use ctl+c to recover the command line!.) For a simple installation on a Pi, I'm not sure it's a "needed" feature anyway. I just use Pavuctl to set the levels, and the app's own controls to select the device(s), but once setup, exit it to save on CPU cycles. Enjoy all the available digimodes, Olivia in particular can give you a "conversational" QSO over great distances, where you can hardly hear or see the signals.? Don't forget to use the TxID and RxID facilities in Fldigi if you use the not so common modes. JS8Call too, is very good.? (Again, mode is USB, and enable "Fake
It" for Split, so the heartbeat feature works "cleanly".) You have plenty of tools in the box to play with... Running LMDE 6 here on an intel platform.? Three radio's and no less than 5 Audio I/O devices! 73. Dave G0WBX.

Hi Dave,?
?
Your document was very helpful; thanks a lot for that.?

Here you'll find a complementary document describing how to run G106 + DE-19 + Raspberry Pi b4 as a remote control configuration.?

Re: Connecting Xiegu X6100 using FLRIG to WSJTX Linux Mint
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHowever for the X6100, CAT is the only game in town. There is no
external ptt activation jack point to use a RTS/transistor setup
etc. shows information for wsjtx setup. We need good CAT code = latest hamlib with latest wsjtx_improved.

Re: Connecting Xiegu X6100 using FLRIG to WSJTX Linux Mint
Flrig can do DTR and/or RTS(if not already needed for cat data handshake) on the same serial port as the CAT traffic. I do that with my Kenwood HF radio.? It works very well with WSJTx, QSSTV (working via Hamlib) and Fldigi using its native XMLRPC link. I can screenshot the Flrig settings if needed. 73. Dave G0WBX? If it aint broke, hit it harder. |

Re: Connecting Xiegu X6100 using FLRIG to WSJTX Linux Mint

Re: Connecting Xiegu X6100 using FLRIG to WSJTX Linux Mint
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSorry, i thought I read somewhere that it did have it. My other suggestion is to install flatpak 'bottles' and use HRD as the interface., Or get latest wsjtx_improved sourcecode and compile as per that link I sent. First you can try the latest deb file appropriate from here ; These have latest hamlib etc. The source section is close to
these on search.

Re: Connecting Xiegu X6100 using FLRIG to WSJTX Linux Mint
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIf both radio selections below do that, then revert to using vox for ptt, and setup vox in the radio. A later version wsjtx (with later hamlib) , that you may need to
compile from source may work.
