JTDX

Steve Rish K8SAR
 

Thank you for allowing me to join the group.

I’m a brand new sbitx v3 (assembled) owner. It contains the pi v4 . Enjoying its many capabilities. Have kind of found my way around and managed a few DX contacts via the onboard ft8 software. I am most familiar with the jtdx software I have been running that on my ft-991a and ic-705(with ipad)

I have been seeking a source for the jtdx software to download on the sbitx but without success…(seems some of the sites are no longer active). Can anyone offer a site to try and share experience with installing it on the sbitx?

I assume from posts I've read it can run on my unit without any further mods.

Much appreciate any assistance.

Steve,
I haven't used jtdx. I am assuming that being a derivative of wsjtx, it works the same way.
I would have ideally left all the FT8 work to wsjtx, but i wouldn't work with either the 7 inch display or remote web ui. By now? I have gotten used to sbitx native ft8 to the point that wsjtx appears confusing to me.
This doesn't answer your question, it is a perspective into why things are the way they are.

Hi Steve
I run JTDX on my sbitx successfully without too many issues.?
There are a couple of ways of doing this:
Install JTDX on the image you have or
Take the plunge and run JJ’s 64-bit image that includes JTDX and other tools
This topic discusses the 64-bit image:


To install JTDX on current image take a few steps to get it right but is doable as that is how I did it to begin with. I just did a search for “JTDX Raspberry Pi” and the AI came with this list of instructions which might help:


Setting up JTDX on Raspberry Pi

Here is a step-by-step guide to setting up JTDX on a Raspberry Pi:

  1. Install the necessary dependencies:?sudo apt-get install cmake libhamlib-dev libusb-dev
  2. Download the JTDX source code:?wget https://github.com/jtdx/jtdx/archive/master.zip
  3. Extract the source code:?unzip master.zip
  4. Build JTDX:?cmake -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/hamlib-prefix ../src cmake --build .
  5. Install JTDX:?sudo cmake --build . --target install
  6. Configure JTDX:?sudo nano /etc/jtdx/jtdx.conf?(edit the configuration file to set the serial port, baud rate, and other parameters)
  7. Start JTDX:?sudo jtdx
If you look at my facebook posts in the sbitx group you will see a screenshot of the config for the audio, though I think I have probably posted about it here too but could be buried in other audio related discussions :-)
The radio interface is the same as that noted for WSJT-X elsewhere.
You might find you have to reinstall the hamlib software too for JTDX to work.?
Sorry I didn’t write notes when I installed it.
Might be easier to use the 64-bit image that already has it installed :-)

Hello All,

Can someone show me how to re-compile the sBitx software. Thank in advance.

Thanks again, 73,

Robert. AG6LK
 

Open a terminal, then,
cd sbitx
./build sbitx

Paul,

Start JTDX:?sudo jtdx
Why are you running jtdx as root?

Apologies ahead to the fact that this isn't a sBitx related question.
?
I am building the latest JTDX from (eforge.net/projects/jtdx-improved/files/jtdx_2.2.159/Raspberry%20Pi/) on my RPi5(8gb)
?
However, the title bar is missing from the main window, but it's present on the Waterfall Window. This works just fine on RPi4(8gb).
?
None of the keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+space or Alt+space doesn't work on main windows.?
?
The main window looks like it's "Undecorated"
?
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
