Re: FLDigi WEFAX settings and LPM: now wefax is broken for some FAX settings #settings #wefax #linux #LPM


 

Can't the setting be put here, kinda as it was before? Tweaking into the modem menu isn't so fast when trying to decode something on the fly :)

Something the previous working version of the UX, that was so simple and immediate to use...

You should be able to change the LPM setting during reception.

Please test and report results.

Hello! Meanwhile, I did some research...

First I found this:

in which the WEFAX settings are described as any kind of combination between 288/576 and 30,60,120,240 lpm...

at page 7 of the pdf, Kyodo news is quoted as requiring 60 and 120 lpm / 576 IOC setting:

"Next Tokyo station is JJC, it is Kyodo News Agency. Transmission speed is
60 lpm and IOC 576, sometimes 120 lpm when weather charts are posted."

I also wrote to the owner of the internet site and reached to me, indeed confirming that the setting for 576/120 and 60 are needed in order to receive this station... quoting his email:

"Yes, for Kyodo one needs 576/60. Fldigi removed the line setting from its interface at some point, quite a long time ?ago. What I did, was that I created a copy of Fldigi source code and changed hardcoded 120 to 60. So for Kyodo decoding I would simply run a second altered Fldigi.
So yes, I can confirm this behavior of a removed lines dropdown, as it really was there before."

I think the best course of action is to permit changing the combination of all those parameter as it was before, also as it is described in the wefax standard in the PDF i linked before - I will do it myself but I'm not a skilled programmer anymore (I was a programmer in the late '90 :) )

I will try to receive some transmission to test them asap!

I see, but those changes broke the reception of a very interesting radio station (KYODO NEWS). For what I see, this is a bug - something that was working before, now it isn't. :(

Hello,?

In FLDigi 4.1.9 that I had on my old computer I was able to set some things about WEFAX that now are disappeared in the newer versions...

I have a new laptop, I installed the recent version of my GNU/Linux OS, and some options are missing.

I don't have anymore the "LPM" setting, the FIR setting nor the 4 bargraph showing START, PHASE, IMAGE... and I think also the "skip phase" is missing.?

The main problem is the "LPM" setting, because I can't set it correctly to receive Kyodo News from Japan.

Kyodo News require IOC576 with 60LPM and I can't set it

What I receive now is basically a half page, the other half is cut away and I can't solve this problem.

Is there some way to get back those settings for?WeFax? I think now it's unusable for KYODO NEWS decoding.?

Thank you
