Linux (Deb) Installed - Questions about HKJ gMFSK
Got everything up and running on Debian for the most part. Still doing
some tweaking.
gMFSK compiled and installed fine. Just finished a QSO with George
K1EPT and Dave VE3IXI. Couple of issues presented themselves.
Using an old TS-830S, I have no rig control so I didn't load hamlib.
Not sure if this is related to the problems.
First - the waterfall frequency scale is currently showing between
9000 and 10500 Hz. I know I'm not transmitting at these high audio
tones. I found that by hitting the little box beside SYNC & the
spinner box (showing 1015 - is this my audio freq?) that the scale
shifts so that where I had the hairline moves all the way to the left.
Now how do I get it back to where it's showing my actual audio frequency?
Second - in the log section, BAND is currently showing 0.008556 and it
cannot be edited. This looks like it corresponds to the waterfall's
frequency scale. I expected this box to allow me to enter the band
(either 40 or 7.000 - I only log the band, not the actual frequency).
Third - I programmed a macro in F2 but every time I hit F2 it doesn't
send the macro, it clears the log.
Other than these issues, the QSO with Dave went great. I don't think
I'm going to miss MixW so much. Think I can get a refund?

Hard to say, maybe if u convince them to get W1hkj on their
development team you may find u have a life-time membership. On the
other had -- no doubt it...but if you can give me ur reg# and lets
see if we can do it twice... hi hi

identifying modes
2
Felt like a rookie tonight...called a cq on mfsk16..was answered
but had no print. It felt and sounded like mfsk, did the
usuall...rev..slide up and down...and scratch the head. Then a good
friend of mine came on and said it was Olivaa...ok buy that...but
before I got a chance the orginal caller came back and said that no
it had been mfsk8 by a mistake on his part...
Granted wide awake I probably would have probably not thought
Olivia, but on the other hand, I doubt if i would have guessed
mfsk8. Not sure I have ever hand an mfsk8 contact.
I still like the idea of being able to identify the modes by the
sound and feel of them. It just feels better, to know that I have
that ability.
To the point i guess..how do u feel about some of the mode
indentifiers being used these days. Ever notice that some are up to
twice as wide as the primary signal. The cw mode identifiers make
sense to me, but then again I'm good at cw, while some would have a
problem. Bandwidth and sound both are good clues, as is the picture
on the waterfall, but its not a certain thing will all the variants
these days.
Maybe instead of the video ID's, CW ID's and such we need
something more simple, and suits all including the hearing impaired
that the digi modes have given the hobby back to.
Just kinda rambling... but it got me thinking..a bit anyways..

gmfsk-hkj version 0.46 posted
This version adds some TTY machine friendliness. You might want to
grab this one if you do a lot of TTY qsos and the other end of the qso
is on a "real" tty machine.

How are u making out Kevin....
give a shout when u have some time.
I went throught the Suse install again as it is on the net now,
and it's a bit convoluted to say the least. I wanted to see where
maybe you had problems. Not hard to find them...the description of
the ISO's leaves a lot to be desired and the mirrors sites have to
be looked at hard...
So let me know whats up... this is a new suse on a different drive
from ground zero..have to admit it was not fun or quick, untill I
went back to the idea of getting right away from the suse ftp..
all in all it took me probably 10 hours from ground zero to gmfsk up
and running...to long...but have to admit a few were nap hours when
i just had to wait...

Where to find .deb package or help compile source gMFSK
5
Hey, I'm trying to upgrade gMFSK to the .7pre1. I'm running Debian
Sarge w/ a 2.6 kernel, stable version. I've not found a good
repository so far for apt, and when I try to build it, I'm getting the
following output from the configure;(error part only)
checking for libgnomeui-2.0... Package libgnomeui-2.0 was not found in
the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory
containing `libgnomeui-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable No package 'libgnomeui-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (libgnomeui-2.0) not met;
consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
Any ideas? Thanks Riley.

New program & upgrade to gmfsk-hkj
A new beta test program for the Kachina 505DSP transceiver is posted.
I also posted a new version of gmfsk-hkj (0.47) which targets the
Kachina CAT program directly. No need to download this version unless
you are using this rig. gmfsk-hkj remains compatible with all
previous versions via the use of the "hkj-config.h" #define switches.
With all switches turned off the program compiles to the original
gmfsk-0.7pre1 release.

GMFSK Question
4
I use gMfsk with a Tentec Omni VI. When I'm on LSB the QRG in the
waterfall is 1kc low, if I switch to USB its 1kc high. Any ideas how
to correct this ?? I've asked before on linux-hams but never got any
reply and Google was of no help. Xlog and Xdx are correct, so its
somewhere in gMfsk or so I think.
And my 02 cents worth....Debian stable. I've tried many many distros
in the last 7 years and Debian suits my needs. 73

C compiler for gmfsk.hkj
./configre tells me there is no acceptable C compiler in $path. Also
says no gawk, gcc, cc, cl. I see gcc-4.0 base and gcc-4.0 as being
installed. I installed gawk, but what else do I need. ??

Thanks to some input from VE-Dave I managed to correctly compile. I
guess I'm spolied by Debian and apt. Its been several years since I have
compiled from source.
Only problem is I have no hamlib in gmfsk now. I'm not sure how to go
about enabling hamlib support now that gmfsk is compiled. IIRC you have
to set a switch in gmfsk before you compile it to enable hamlib support.
Any ideas and/or help. TIA

Compiling Errors
4
I am having no luck at all compiling gmfsk.hkj.47. I get endless errors
and am at a loss where to go from here. ./configure seems to be OK, its
make and make install that is giving the errors. I tried compiling
without hamlib. The warninngs and errors are endless. There is no way to
cut and paste all the errors as the buffer isn't large enough. I see
this at the end of make install.
install-bin programs error1
install-am error2
install recursive error1
Any ideas, I'll be the first to admit that I'm in over my head.

Kachina info for beta testers
If you find strange behavior or the program will not communicate with
the transceiver you can run the program in the test mode. Sorry, but
this only works on Linux.
Bring up the program from a terminal window using the following
command line:
Kachina TEST
You will see the commands and the transceiver response sent to stdout
(the terminal screen). To save the data stream to a file use:
Kachina TEST >testfile
for example. Then you can send me the testfile along with an
explanation of what did or did not work during your use of the program.

Squelch on/off indicator
ALC meter
All meters are now multi purpose and are toggled between the display
modes by left clicking the mouse on the meter scale that you want to
change.
ALC meter is very useful in setting the audio drive from sound card in
digital modes.
