Problem starting G8JCFSDR


 

Hi,
when starting the program I get first the popup with the COM-port and then the popup with the text "modSetupRx.InitialiseRX..." (all this is described in the QuickStarter document).

But then only the upper part of the program window is shown:

and there is no possibility to enlarge the window (pulling the window frame edges is not possible).
So, it's also not possible to change any parameter in the config, as the config button is not visible at all.
I am using a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 10 and I have installed the build 282.
The first lines of the log file (starting the program in trace-mode) looks like:

?
If it is needed I can provide the complete log file, of course.
Any help is appriciated!

Many thanks and kind regards,
Markus (DF3VL)

P.S.: I want to use the program together with the elektor shild and the arduino board


 

Hi Markus

Next on the right of the Power panel there is a Display panel, click the Full radio button which will display the G8JCFSDR completely including showing the Config button which will enable you to configure the G8JCFSDR, eg COM port, Radio model etc.

Hi Peter,

I'm very sorry, that I bothred you with this stupid question. If I had just kept reading the documentation, then I would have seen the solution myself. But I don't want to continue with the next point until the previous point was done :-(

Now, I could enlarge with window and I could configure the program.

Many thanks for your quick and considerate answer.

Currently I'm waiting for a microphone adapter for the laptop and then I will continue.

Kind regards,
Markus, DF3VL

No worries Markus, just very glad to hear that you are well on your way to get it up and running !!

Perhaps I need to edit the Quick Start Guide to show right up front that you need to click the "Full" option in the Display panel. What is surprising is that when first installed, the G8JCFSDR should always display itself in "Full" mode, I'll have to take a look at the code and see what is going on.
