Re: #flrig Lack of power meter display for IC-705.
#flrig
Thanks Dave,
I've tested the update I did for IC-705 now as well. Please find
the files attached. Because IDD was showing as 1.6A I had to get
to the shack and check that was what it was also showing on the
rig.
Seems OK.
Updated IC705.h and IC705.cxx attached.

I think this should be 40, rather than 50 to keep the

Re: Unusual question re WSL2
Also to all on the thread, keep in mind that there is a commercial version of WINE called Crossover by CodeWeavers, who also supplies code and improvements to the WINE project.
You can setup several bottles if needed with different configurations. And you get support to get applications running that might need alternate dlls or things installed. Most of the stuff I use just runs, but I did need a quick tip from them on getting 3d display working on 4nec2 for antenna modelling.
It's not free but a year's worth is about the cost of a single dinner with your significant other. So for me it's worth it.
I haven't tried it with VARA so thanks for the tip. I'll do that and if it works I'll write it up on their web site and advocate for it.
As to Linux for ham radio, I like a rolling release so I never have to deal with yearly upgrades and I get all of the stuff right away. Opensuse Tumbleweed is my distro of choice and has been for many years. It's stable and has repos for anything ham or radio related that you might want (and anything else too).

Re: Unusual question re WSL2
Hi Jerry,
?
Long time Linux user here.? As much as I hate to run windows programs under wine, I had to admit defeat with VARA.? I run VARA and VARA-FM under wine and interface them with the PAT Winlink client.? Works very well.? As far as logging and such, that is all done with native Linux applications.

Re: Unusual question re WSL2
As another alternative, one can run Winlink and VarHF under Wine. Takes a bit of work but is stable. This is how I use them.

Install Linux and make that the base OS. Then install a VM and run
Windows in the VM. That way you have a "better" OS driving the hardware
and in control and Windows in the VM for the apps you want that are only
available for Windows. The best thing is if you don't want those apps
then you don't need to have Windows running at all.
YMMV.

Hey y'all:
I have what is probably an unusual question.
Background: I have been a long time Linux user, but find that I really need to run windows to do stuff for EMCOMM. Like rmsexpress (winmail), varaAC, varaHF, varaFM, and F3FJP for field days. I have tried all of those with (mostly) fairly unsuccessful success. I wish it weren't so! Otherwise, this question would be posed.
I want to run EVERYTHING else in linux. So my first thought was dual boot. And yes, I could do that. Then I was told that doing that was outmoded. And the way to do it going forward was to install and use WSL 2 on windows -- and then I would have the best of both worlds.
Over time, at least a year, I have written all kinds of scripts (mostly bash), that automate (for me) all things POTA related and I need to run flrig, wsjtx, fldigi, and other programs ON LINUX. I do not want to give that up. If I have to I will just dual boot and be done with it.
So now here is my question:
Except
for those EMCOMM type programs to run on windows, will all the rest of the programs I want to run on WSL2 (using audio and USB port for PTT). I should let you know I use an FT-710, the usb of which is a C-Media composite (of usb and audio). Those need to work.
I hope y'all understand my question, and can offer some assurances, and advice.
Thank you!

I think this should be 40, rather than 50 to keep the measurement

Re: #flrig Lack of power meter display for IC-705.
#flrig
Phil,
There is an IDD scale with a maximum of 50
Suggest you scale your 705 IDD measurement to a scale of 50.
?? ???? ??? mtr = 50.0 * mtr / 241.0;
?? ???? ??? if (mtr > 50) mtr = 50;
Then change
void cbALC_IDD_SWR()
{
?? ?switch (meter_image) {
?? ???? case ALC_IMAGE:
?? ???? ??? if (selrig->has_idd_control) {
?? ???? ??? ??? btnALC_IDD_SWR->image( image_idd25);
?? ???? ??? ??? meter_image = IDD_IMAGE;
?? ???? ??? ??? sldrIDD->show();
?? ???? ??? ??? {
?? ???? ??? ??? ??? guard_lock serial_lock(&mutex_serial, "40");
?? ???? ??? ??? ??? trace(1, "cbALC_IDD_SWR()? 2");
?? ???? ??? ??? ??? selrig->select_idd();
?? ???? ??? ??? }
?? ???? ??? ??? break;
?? ???? ??? }
?? ???? case IDD_IMAGE:
to image_idd50
Let us know if that works for you.

I've copied the get_idd() method from IC-7300 and changed the
calculation to max of 4A and it seems to work. It looks like the
scale maximum of 25A is fixed. Modified IC705.h and IC705.cxx
attached (based on this morning's download of alpha .77).

Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio
That's the great thing about Linux, choice, and the ability to make it your own.
?
We all have our favorites too :-)
?
We're a big CentOS / Rocky Linux user at work (tens of thousands of machines running K8 workloads aka the "private cloud"). I've warmed up to essentially the "RedHat" way of doing things.
?
Some 24 years ago now the place I was working at had DEC Alphas running Tru64 Unix. Those things were amazing, and Tru64 had all the LVM stuff back then. From that I have a soft spot for Unix, FreeBSD is my favorite one there. I'm a big Mac user which under the hood is FreeBSD and NeXT smashed together (over simplification) with very nice UI ontop.
?
I've tried a few, Debian is the one I seem to come back to for my own stuff at home, where Linux is the best choice for something.

Doh! I forgot I had to enable polling for the IC-705 configuration. I had been using it for so long with IC-7300. Now enabled all polling and everything looks OK.

Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio
Good to read the recommendations, many from experts.
While I would not claim to be expert, I have many years certified
experience of Linux in the workplace and home.
My two cents worth, FWIW, is there is a big difference between
introducing a new user to Linux and what distro suits an old hand,
familiar with the architecture and comfortable with compiling
source and needing bleeding edge versions of apps.
So, what's my vote? Start the new user with Mint-Cinnamon, a
stable and well supported member of the Debian family, with
extensive support for Amateur radio. The environment is like
enough to Win and Mac not to cause panic in the newcomer. After
finding out how it works and is organized, take a look at several
other distros, with different packaging. Then, get to know a
favorite one as best you can, but stay familiar with the most
current others.
My own preference now? Mostly Arch, but then I'm not just
starting out. -But I suspect that the original question of which
distro was from a beginner, so that is the question we
should answer?
Hope it helps some,

Hey Richard,
Good to see you here! Do let me know if you
would like any help with any of the package maintenance.
My FAS username is just "neil". Fairly new to ham, less so
to packaging, but still looking to improve my abilities in
both areas :)

Others have likely noted that there are
some ham radio specific editions out there
too. These take the work out of installing the
ham radio applications.
I'll always put in a word for Fedora, but
full disclosure, I'm a Fedora packager and
maintain most of the Ham Radio applications. Of

Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio
I use ubuntu with x-ubuntu.? Everything works fine.
I generally compile things such as WSJT-X from source, but occasionally get the distro package. On Sun, Oct 27, 2024 at 9:23?PM Michael K Johnson, KZ4LY via <mcdanlj= [email protected]> wrote:

Thank you for that work!
I'm very new to ham radio (just a couple of weeks in, trying to learn everything I can) but not exactly new to Fedora, and found this thread while exploring what software I can install for various digital modes and control. Is it trivially easy to list the ham radio packages you so kindly maintain in Fedora?

Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio
Hi Everybody,
"Best" is rather subjective, but I'd like to remind folks about an Ubuntu based software collection that is easy for you to install and might meet your needs:
Andy's Ham Radio Linux
Full disclosure: I'm Andy :-)
I have made this software collection available for about 13 years. There have been over 100,000 downloads over that time.
Please look here for more information:
Version 26b-beta is the latest. It is installed on top of whatever Ubuntu/Debian based software you're already using. It has also been tested on Raspberry Pi 4/5.
Please be sure to read the GETTING_STARTED guide.
Have fun(!) and 73,
Andy
