You could try running it from a console and seeing what error messages
you see when you start winkeyer, might give you a clue.

Otherwise, if you are using Linux, is to run it under gdb and see if
you can get a backtrace to show the function calls up to the point
where it fell over.

If you're not familiar with these steps then we can probably talk you
through it.

Robin.

In a command line session, (ctl alt T)

sudo adduser $USER dialout

You will be asked for your password, it will then either add you (the logged in user) to the dialout group, or tell if you are already a member.

Like this....
dave@hp-compaq-sfdt:~/3rdParty/3500A firmware$ sudo adduser $USER dialout
[sudo] password for dave:      
adduser: The user `dave' is already a member of `dialout'.
Either way, Job done.


Then, still in that command line session.

dmesg -wH

(A lot of 'stuff' will fly up the screen and stop....)

Then plug in the offending lead, and you should see what the OS identifies and enumerates it as.
such, and display this sort of info.? I don't know for sure, but you may need it connected to the
radio, and the radio powered ON, before you plug it into the computer.

But you should see this sort of info appear...
(There may be spurious other messages, especially if you PC/Laptop is using WiFi.)
[Oct20 11:20] usb 1-1.5.4: new full-speed USB device number 22 using ehci-pci
[  +0.109452] usb 1-1.5.4: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303, bcdDevice= 4.00

[  +0.001539] usb 1-1.5.4: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB7
It is 'ttyUSB7' that you tell Chirp about, in this case.? (Your case it will likely be a different device...)

If you see red messages, that generally is because the OS can't identify it correctly, or cant find a kernel driver to use for it.
Or sometimes a hardware fault with an otherwise good device.

Hope something helps.

Created on and sent from a Unix like PC running and using open source software:
#FLDIGI two or three missing characters at the beginning of a Contestia 4/250 message #fldigi

 

Good copy on all messages except for the first 2 or 3 characters.? Happens with impromptu messages rarely (perhaps never) with FLAMP or FLMSG data.? It behaves like it is trying to synchronize with something in the message content and cannot make out the first 2 or 3 characters.? After that it is perfect.? Is there a timeout or sync setting?? Could it be something like sender's radio is auto-tuning every time??

The commend 'id' will list your user id number, the groups you belong to, and other se_linux stuff. You will need to belong to "dialout" as you state, and as I recall the command is 'groupmod -U username' but I am not certain on that one. I usually just edit /etc/group, then log out and back in again. Another useful command is 'lsusb' which will list all the USB devices it sees. Do one before plugging in your cable, and another after and see what was added.

on linux the user needs to e part of the "dialout" group to work with serial ports.

I don't remember the? exact command(s) to see what groups the user is part of, or the command to add the user to the dialout group.

Not sure what you mean about CHIRP "can't see any serial ports that work". Could you describe the error message, or maybe a screen shot?

Baofeng Programming Cable

 

I'm running Mint 21.3 and 22 (in a second machine). I had to jump through? some python hoops to get chirp to run. It seems there was a name change in an update. The solution involved downgrading to python 3.10 from 3.12 (if I have the numbers right).
And still, chirp doesn't work with the Baofeng cable provided by Baofeng. The symptoms are that chirp can't see any serial ports that work in Linux, or so it appears to my inexperienced eyes.

Does anyone have hands on experience with the Btech cable with Linux? This cable:

Got the radio programmed by a local ham with his cable and a Windows machine. But I can't download the .img file to make any changes, as in scan choices or adding channels.

Dave,
?
I'm testing 4.2.06 this morning, and find that the FSQ monitor window is a different color (orange?).? It was off-white before, the same color as the RX Text window, which is what I prefer, but I can not find any option to change the color.
?
Looking at src/fsq/fsq_monitor.cxx, lines 77 and 85, there is a "0.98" multiplier included in the color settings.? If I remove the "0.98 *" from the code, I get back the appearance I had before, which I think is much nicer.? Here are the lines I modified (shown here unmodified):
?
77? ? ? ? ? ? fsq_monitor->color( 0.98 * RGBCOLOR( RxColor ), RGBCOLOR( RxTxSelectcolor ) );
...
85??? ? ? ? ? fsq_que->color( 0.98 * RGBCOLOR( RxColor ), RGBCOLOR( RxTxSelectcolor ) );
?
Is there a particular reason that it should be darkened as you have it?
?

I little observation since updating to this version. The waterfall colour scheme seems no longer to be honoured after changing it from default, closing and re-launching fldigi. The correct pallete is opened on launch but the colour scheme remains the default one.

In the example below blue1.pal is saved in the config and displays/renders correctly at the time of configuring but on restarting Fldigi, blue1.pal is loaded but the palette is not blue1.pal

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
