Did you load the contest dashboard flow? Whatever they did in adding stuff to the head section has caused issues for some people.?

In the editor go to dashboard and on top in Site where you set colors, set to Use Node Red Theme Everywhere instead of Angular. See if that helps.?

A note to people using a UI Template to add info to the head section. This will be globally across all flows so be careful.?

Ron,

This is a safety feature and can be changed to the maximum power you would want the PG XL to see. 100 would be too high and if a person was running 100 watts in amp standby and forgot to turn the power down it would hit the amp with 100 watts and fault the amp (and potentially damage it). This should be set to the maximum power drive you need on any band.

?

Excessive input power is the #1 killer of LDMOS devices.

Patrick,

FRStack on RPi is configured via a text file,?appSettings.json. Look at the following link and search for the file name. A few weeks?ago I assisted Laci, HA8RD, with exactly the same issue. We changed the parameter from 50 to 100. I can't speak to the StreamDeck question.

"PgxlRadioMaxPower": "50", // this is MAX radio power level when AMP is OPERATE

You can edit the appsettings.json file in the FRStack folder located in the /usr/local/frstack folder

?

The latest FRStack webapi install does not set the amp to 50 watts after tuning. (previous versions did)

?

There is a setting for maximum power when amp is in operate which? defaults to 50, so if your radio was at 100 watts on 10 meters for example and you QSY to 10 meters, power would be set to 50. If you had power for 10 meters set to 40 before QSYing, it would be 40. This is only to help protect the amp if you have the power too high and forget to adjust it lower to prevent overdriving the amp. You can disable it by changing to zero or set to whatever maximum power you want, but it is for all bands.

?

Here is the PG XL settings from the appsettings.json file

?

"PgxlTuneStandby": "true", // this will set AMP to STANDBY when TUNE is activated

??? "PgxlModeRestore": "true", // this will return AMP to OPERATE after TUNE complete

??? "PgxlRadioMaxPower": "50", // this is MAX radio power level when AMP is OPERATE

??? "PgxlRadioStandbyPower": "100", // this is MAX radio power level when AMP is STANDBY

??? "PGXLOnAntenna": "0", // 0 or 1 or 2; 0 for both, 1 for ANT1, 2 for ANT2

Hello Alan - could not tell by the dates of this correspondence and your reply if you are CURRENTLY working on an update to the AGC flow. I have your original AGC flow installed from a few years back and would love to get a current update if there are updates and improvements.? Thanks for doing this Alan.

Re: Capturing flexradio transmit band

#14335

I could not sleep last night so I decided to redo the entire flow and ensure it works with the sub transmit messages.? ?The new flow will pass messages that do not have the frequency value.? The following 2 messages passes the band if the frequency is there but if no frequency is present it will just pass the message.??

?

?

I have also added 160 - 6 meters and a GEN band if it does not fit those amateur bands.? ?

Re: Capturing flexradio transmit band

Thanks, Dave. I had seen most of this. The two function nodes you mention (far right) appear to be after the get function causing the error. I have no errors with these functions. Clicking the button did successfully inject a new startup but changed nothing in result.

?

Firmware is 4.1.8

AG app looks good. The Node Red flow appears functional other than the band names and button labels. At one point, I had disabled a few functions to "quell the noise" while troubleshooting and I did see radio 2 labels on the buttons.

?

This one feels very odd.

Alan, ?I was going through some old email and wondered if you finished the Auto AGC flow for SmartSDR?

Also, I am interested in a flow to adjust RX Gain in SmartSDR to tune to a specific Gain setting in WSJT-X ?(I run 30-40 dB). ?I typically run two WSJT-X windows using Slice Master and when I change to a different profile, I have to adjust the RX Gain setting in SmartSDR most every time. ?Are you aware of any such flow?

I presently run Shack Control which Dave helped me set up for my station. ?I am a neophyte in the development side of Node Red.

Thanks and...

Re: ERROR - global.get("subport")

Also, for example, I am on 20 meters on Ant1. Looking at the global context variable data subport is an array of [5,0,1,0] which means band 5 (20 meters) and antenna 1 (my Yagi).

On startup of the flow, it sends the commands band list, antenna list, sub port all, along with other commands to the AG.

?

Last, does the AG app show proper info?

Hi All,

Who can tell me where the? global var "subport" is defined?

The function "Title - Band display" in the AG2x8v4 flow is returning the error - "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')"

I have searched the AG2x8v4 and Tuner Genius XL flows and found nothing.

I'm guessing this may come from a Flex radio flow yet I don't see any connection to such a flow. No flex radios here. Just an AG on BCD and a TGXL on CI-V.

I wrote most of the flow and up

Dated it from the V3 firmware to V4.

?

Look at the two function nodes to the right of the switch node all the way on right side of the AGv4 flow. There are subport A and B decode.

Check the startup inject node. Click the box on the left of the startup inject to resend the startup commands to AG.

?

Also, what version firmware is the AG? Does the TCP Request node show connected?
