I revised the Microphone Level meter to use environmental variables to set the color ranges. Also, note.....this is NOT a Flex-specific flow. ?My SVG meter flows will work with any valid dBm value msg.payload. Dave, I used your suggested values. ? Below is how to change environmental values. ? First double click on the Flow tab, then make the changes. ?Save, Deploy. The upper meter bar will change colors per the dBm settings. ?The lower blue, green, yellow, and red bars, will rescale to the new settings. ?If the Red dBm value is greater than 0 dBm, the red bar will not show on the bottom (because it is above the zero maximum scales of the meter, but, the upper bar will turn red if the dBm value exceeds the red range.

Thanks, Dave Good suggestion. I also do not use the Flex EQ, so now I know how to run my Mic gain up. I can add easy-to-change, environmental variables for the color ranges if there is enough interest. ?It will take some work because I also need to dynamically rescale the colors in the lower bar. ? Is there interest out there? Otherwise, for the more experienced, the color ranges are in the "Configuration" function:  And.....you can adjust the "x" position and "width" for the blue, green, and red bars using the "SVG" tab on the SVG Node,?for each of the three rectangles, in the "lower bar" group:  Alan.

Ham Radio Deluxe integration. v.1.5
Requires: MQTT
Description: Polls HRD and extracts the radio's frequency. Tracks the HRD Context and self-recovers if HRD is restarted. You can set the frequency via a dashboard menu.
Developed using DM780 and a FT-847, as a part of larger Amplifier project. If you have additional commands that could be added, please DM me.
DM me if you want to add your radio to the dynamic dropdown menu for Mode changes.
June 6 2022 - Initial
June 8 2022 - added Mode Selection
June 11 2022 - added Dynamic Radio Mode dropdown menu (FT-897 command list provided by Adrian)
June 12 2022 - added filter to prevent dropdown menu "jumping" and added Smeter
June 12 2022 - Moved the VFO indicator back to the RF Exciter

Hi Adrian,
I see your S meter looks different than mine.? ?I used the chart dashboard icon with the Horizontal Bar.... are you using the same, or another one???

Hi Alan
For those of us who do not use the internal EQ, it is fine to run the level up to zero, but not exceed zero.?
I suggest having blue -40 to -10, green -10 to -5, yellow -5 to 0, and red above zero.?
That way if using the internal EQ people can set level to end of green. For those not using internal EQ or for digital modes set to end of yellow (right at zero without exceeding )
On my Flex flow the mic meter does not change color but I added a peak indicator that is normally green but will change to red if any part of audio exceeds zero.?
Also note - the mic meter is only available for mics connected direct to radio. Any other internal audio meters are after a clipper stage.?

Hi Adrian,
Yes - I didn't touch anything on the "get" side yesterday because I had to solve the issue of the output text type, so that the drop down menu would match properly.
I just noticed the issue you see with the dropdown and I added a RBE node.? ?
Moving on the sliders, etc.? ? I need to rethink how my Carousel works because it was written to query my Yaesu FT 847 for the amplifier project.? ? ?In that carousel, you are doing some queries that your radio doesn't understand (the satellite specific ones) and my radio doesn't have the getsliders option.? ? ? I have an hour from home this weekend, so I can't change the connected radio back to the FT-2000 Demo model, but I'll try to wing it.
I'll add the S meter now.

Re: Permissions question...
Many thanks to Adrian! He sshed into my machine, (spending a large number of hours), and corrected the install issues. Actually he reinstalled node-red totally via npm, and that corrected all the permission issues I was having... All works now!
I can at last read files via node-red!
MANY THANK Adrian!! You are a gentlemen and a scholar... As I said via email, if you were closer I'd buy you a beer or two... If you ever get up this way, please look me up and collect on that offer!

Hi Adrian,
?
Try out the new flow.? ?I had to fix the way the HRD response was stored ... not entirely certain I'm doing this the best way, but the UTF16LE vs ASCII issue was preventing the Switch node from finding the "equals" part to set the Mode setting dropdown list.
It seems to work fine for me now.? ?Please give it a try.

You can check /etc/group. If it is not in the same group you can add dcole to the node red group
chown 'node-red-group':dcole //home/dcole/scripts/solar_data/incoming/lotwcount.txt
Can you even write to the file? From all the above posts, I am getting the impression you can't even write to it.
