Zbitx FT8 - Some wishes and Observations

Joe All Messages By This Member #117159 I have been doing a fair amount of playing with the Zbitx. FT8-? Is there a way to clear the screen area where the decodes are displayed? With so many decodes it can be difficult to sort through them. How about? a button to turn off/on waterfall? ? WSJT-X: I have made contacts in FT8 In the settings, cat test did not work,? however? when actually running the software it controls the zbitx fine. Rig Rx Band control works fine Tx enable works and tune also. ? Remote mode:, A method to turn off the zbitx screen from the remote.. It might help reduce the the processing load? ? Screen timeout? I leave my zbitx running for days. Would be great if a timer could be in the settings to blank screen. Maybe just touching the screen would turn it back on. ? TX: When the radio goes from rx to tx I here noise thru speaker just before tx actually is on Maybe just a split second in timing to silence rx? before tx goes on? ? Just a thought of a few things. I am very pleased so far and know there are plenty of things to add and or polish up,? but overall a great first run so far. ? Thanks ! Joe VE1BWV? ? ? ?

FT8- Is there a way to clear the screen area where the decodes are displayed? With so many decodes it can be difficult to sort through them. I want filters: be able to toggle between everything and unique CQs only, at least (back and forth dynamically, not only for incoming packets the way WSJT-X does). Maybe eventually other filters, like only show interesting CQs (distance greater than a threshold, and omit callsigns I’ve already contacted). But I could try to do that myself on the GTK UI; I did some bug fixes and hacking around in my sbitx fork already. (And I’m working on another kind of remote UI idea now, but that’s going slowly. Later on, when the server side is far enough along, I could write a client with a different feature set. I think I need it, so I can leave the radio close to the antenna and remote-control it. But I have not tried any of my changes on zbitx yet.) How about a button to turn off/on waterfall? Well then there could be enough space for band activity, to have the filtered view and the complete log side-by-side. WSJT-X: I have made contacts in FT8 In the settings, cat test did not work, however when actually running the software it controls the zbitx fine. It worked fine for me too, it’s just that the PWR slider was at the max initially, and I had to find the right level as usual. Remote mode:, A method to turn off the zbitx screen from the remote.. It might help reduce the the processing load? ssh to it and sudo poweroff works fine. We already suggested adding a button to the touchscreen UI to do the “sudo poweroff”: it doesn’t require a password. And JJ’s version already has the command implemented, so it’s just a matter of pulling that from there and adding the feature to the touchscreen UI.
