Re: Using full WSJT-X and FLDigi apps on sBITX V2


 

David?
Thanks for the info.

I just received some 64 gig mics to experiment?with.?
I will need to stick with the buster 10 distro which is on the sbitx radio.

I think I will need to download the hamlib which us modified for jtdx.
My concern is the modified hamlib won't work with the sbitx app.

Maybe I should download the jtdx hamlib first.
And I guess download and compile ? the jtdx pgm for Debian Buter 10.
Would be nice if there was a compiled version.

Would have been great if they had included the install on the sbitx card.

The sbitx radio has an ethernet and wifi connections.
I use a pi4 4gig inside the rig

I use BalanEtcher or rufus for image stuff

Joe,
wsjtx has always been buggy to me . I run linux, MAC and raspberry PI 4 with dragon OS, also tried several other OS distributions for PI and never had any problems with JTDX.

The PI on ur SBITX should have ethernet connection. use the file manager to search and download jtdx . if Buster allows it. I was using Bullseye until i moved to other distributions for the PI. once i get it installed, i just went to the package manager and downloaded jtdx.. Dragon OS has this built in for the PI. and to configure the Sbitx software, shouldnt be too much of a problem.

SD cards are cheap. load them with various PI distros and experiment with them. With dragon OS i use rtl-sdrs plus sdrtrunk thru the PI to listen to p25 police traffic. I do this on My Saguaro from DZKITS.

I ported the main software onto the SD card with the different PI distro? even the pre installed wsjtx messes up. so its the wsjtx software.Might have to get into the config file and alter some of the setting? maybe go back to earlier versions?On my PI 400 wsjtx messes up quite a bit, but i also have jtdx installed on that SD Card and jtdx of course never has locked up or messed up.I use the older versions which have had some distance on working

just my take of all your software problems.

I used BalanEtcher to flash my SD cards but you can probably use the raspberry PI imager? on the raspberry PI website

Thanks for info.

I have run? jtdx on my Windows stuff and like it for reliability and it's Many extra features.

Unfortunately I have not found a good load for the buster 10 version which is running on our Sbitx radios.
I guess a jtdx build and a Hamlib build would be needed.

Hello,

I dont own the SBITX, but have had software and audio problems with wsjtx many times. sometimes the audio drops out, or give a screen lockup issue,or it puts my ports where the mic is accessible by whistling but not thru my radios. I usually have to reboot with wsjtx.

My problem solver? JTDX. it loads, it runs and it works.Ive had the problems described with wsjx with windows,linux and MAC.
course i dont run Windows anymore its been years, but the linux and MAC versions i have had similar issues.

Sometimes after installing wsjtx will come up with a warning window saying sound device not detected, . Sometimes i get "lost Audio" situation. Ive configured, ive eleted and reloaded, etc. thats why i dont do wstjx. i believe its really buggy with my equipment and computers.I have lenovo t430 thinkpad running ubuntu with 250mb harddrive and 8gigs of ram even.

?I can run SDRTRUNK, Airspy software, and some Powersoftware from ke9ns. it all works, most other digital software works on my laptop too.I believe its the wsjtx software on the PI. I had problems with wsjtx with my 4gb ram PI loading and running. deleted it and installed dragon OS raspberry PI version on the SD Card.Dragon OS has a boatload of Ham software preloaded.

dont know if this will help,

Dave,

The audio problems with WSJT-X most times seem to pop out of no where

Until a few days ago, it ran very well.
Then a day later the rx audio disappeared.
One time it was me , having clicked sbit twice.
The others, unknown was the cause was.
The solution for me is Shutdown.
Run sbitx app then check output capture.
Put it max..
Then I run WSJT-X and audio usually fine.
Sometimes it appears lower on the scale but still ok.
I then usually check the output capture level and many times it's only half way.
So I crank it up while watching the rx audio?
Level, and watch it go up as I move it up.

The odd times settings look ok but still no audio.

If so I do a clean reboot.
and check it again..

I usually close fildigi before loading WSJT-X.? I have not seen where it made a difference but, less load on system.

Still a mystery why?
Will keep plugging at it until I find a cure or a method to fix it ...
I believe it's audio sharing, or some software issue, since the audio works perfect with the? sbitx app.

It's to bad sbitx does not have a a mode which allows other apps to use its audio directly if user has selected digital mode.?
Or gives the app priority
I presume it's currently doing a virtual share ??

Strange, I checked all these settings, and they were all the defaults already except for the Capture level so there was nothing to change but that, unless I missed something.

The end result was rig control worked (wsjtx can change bands/modes) but I didn't see anything on the wsjtx waterfall.

I just double-checked.

So, is there a step missing in the above instructions?

Thanks!
