Re: Frstack running fine until I enable the SPE part
Hi Alan,
I have pasted the by-id into the appsettings file it now reads?/dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_USB_Serial_Converter_FTGCBLZT-if00-port0? ?but I am still not getting anything as far as information from the amp. I get the message there are some unused configuration nodes when i deploy when i check for unused nodes it says 2 hidden beside the spe Amp. Do i need to put any info in the SPEINFOUrl ? |

Re: FRstack SWR Meter issue
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHaving the SWR show last value when in receive is actually a good thing in my mind. If I happen to not notice during TX that the SWR is creeping up but glance during RX I know I can check it, otherwise I need to be watching during TX.? If anyone wants meters zeroed during receive or TX (such as Flex 3000/5000 S meter) I am willing to help show how to do it. Just look at my KPA1500 flow and FlexRadio v6 flows as I am zeroing meters when amp is off or clients are disconnected.? I am glad to see many of you using the available flows as learning tools and either building tour own flows from scratch or modifying and enhancing existing flows.? One good example is what Conny Jonsson did to my Antenna Genius 2x8 flow. He added capability to support a stack of 4 switches plus reading antenna names direct from the switches. Very cool stuff! Conny is talented ;-) I spent about an hour the other night on the phone with Charlie helping him with a few things and his Flex 3000 flow. He finished up a very nice flow.? I working on a couple of things for Simon S53ZO that he wants to implement at S53M contest station (I worked them this weekend).? If anyone else needs assistance please reach out. Alan WA9WUD uses and knows the FRStack implementation quite well and he has also made himself available to help.? We¡¯ve had quite a number of new members join this group over the last month. I will be doing an overview presentation of Node Red and Ham Radio for the upcoming QSO Today virtual ham fest in a few weeks. I also think once I get that presentation squared away maybe we can do another Zoom meeting to go over some areas that you, the members may like to see covered.? One subject is I see data but what do I do with it? ¡°It is not in the right format¡± or ¡°I need just part of it¡±. ?There are several ways to do parsing, or extracting the data. I think a Zoom session to show how to extract info and format it from a particular device would be nice to show the concept behind parsing. A lot of what I have learned has come from reading, loading sample flows, and watching YouTube videos.? Sorry to ramble on, nap time now. Worked on our County mobile command center this Morning. I designed quite a bit of the communications systems on board so they asked for my guidance to help one of their techs (I am now retired so Always looking for things to keep my mind sharp). ?The vehicle is quite cool. We can do full radio dispatch and 9-1-1 call taking right from the vehicle in an emergency. We¡¯ve actually deployed the vehicle for just that reason when my current town received a suspicious white powder in the mail and they evacuated the police station.? 73 all and welcome to the new members!

Re: Frstack running fine until I enable the SPE part
I have to ask about "set the SPEProtocolV1 to true as it is an early version of the 1.3K-FA".
To my knowledge the V1 protocol should only be used by SPE V1 AMP. What is an "early version of the 1.3K-FA" mean? Do you have the protocol spec for this variant? Mark W3II |

Everything else in the frstack flow appears to be working as far as flex control meters etc. The expert is working fine via the FTDI serial cable with windows. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers Paul |
Re: LP-500/700 update
Hi Mike I have sent him emails for the last year or 2 and he really hasn't commented on how I made his LP100 web based and he wasn't really interested. It was just last week that he finally replied to me and I was going to send him the article?that Dave WO2X wrote for QST that will come out in the coming months.

Re: FRstack WEB Interface
Alan The status sys it is active (running). I still get a blank response on local browser and using the ip address of the pi. Maybe it needs to find a radio and connect first. It can't because I am in Florida and the radios are in Illinois. I would think it reply. disconnected. 73, Marty

LP-500/700 update
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI'd like to thank Larry Phipps (N8LP) for providing me this
information and with his? permission I'd like to share it here in
the group, that should be helpful to bring the LP-500/700 into the
node-red fold. He also sent me the source code for the DataLogger.
I'm going to take a look but honestly I don't have the time to dig
right into it and add a TCP or UDP server similar to what's in
PSTRotator. For anyone who wants to seriously tackle adding a UDP
server or whatever, and of course share the results, please
contact Larry directly n8lp@... to request the source
code as he would like to keep track of how has the source code.

Re: FRstack WEB Interface

FRstack WEB Interface
I have looked over as much documentation I can find about FRstack. I followed the 32 bit instructions for installing on a 32 bit Pi 4. The command line shows it is active. Is there a web interface I can use my browser to enter commands? If so, what are the steps? 73, Marty Boroff WD9GYM |
Re: FRstack SWR Meter issue
Why not save the value in a global. If the next value is the same do nothing. If radio is on receive zero the meter.
