Its interesting with codeweavers 'Crossover' that I paid $ for, that there is no apparent solution to run VB6 programs.

Their forum also ignored the question. wine/winetricks saved the day.

OK, using Winetricks, I installed VB6, and a few missing other files. I was still getting errors about missing or misinstalled OCX files. I had to retrieve them at OCXme.com.

Finally, VARA FM materialized briefly … but shut down quickly. A buzzkill. The error is something about advapi32.dll. I tried a different version, but getting the same thing.

“Call from 7BDAACE8 to unimplemented function ADVAPI32.DLL. PerfEnumerateCounterSet, aborting wine …” Then it calls for debugger which didn’t run.

I’m close, just not there. Any help appreciated. Going to copy this to linuxham group as well.

PS - while running Winetricks for missing files, this error box came up

This may be the source of why the VARA install Pi App script would just stall. I never got this box when I ran it - only with Winetricks. Tried wineserver -k and -k9, but it never stopped these boxes. But when I clicked OK, it woul take off and continue to complete the requested fill.

Again, RPi4 with 32bit Bullseye.

I could never get the Pi Apps install routine for VARA to work - it would just stall out in the middle of things. If anyone can point me in the right direction on installing and running Winetricks, I would appreciate it.

I may try that Pi Apps script again but on Ethernet instead of WiFi. Something to try …

Wonder if you would review this again Dave. Same behaviour in 4.2.06.19 (yeah I am slow...)

What I didn't make clear in my OP was with "Retain tx freq lock" enabled, the operational expectation is that the RX freq would shift to meet the RSID centre, but leave the TX frequency where it is. If "Retain tx freq lock" is disabled I expect the TX and RX to shift together. (which is what it does)

Note there us differing action too if the modem changes vs not. Please try a few RSID's of the same modem, then try changing the modem.

With "Retain tx freq lock" enabled in RsID configuration plus Lk set, V4 no longer enables Lk operation nor splits the wfall TX/RX for the PSK125RC &? PSK63RC modems. The PSK250RC and PSK500RC modems act in the same way as 8PSKx and OFDMx modems, shifting TX/RX together, ignoring the RsID config setting and also not responding to Lk.

It might also be a good idea to force Lk operation when setting this RsID config parameter and update the tooltip to explain what is happening.

As it currently stands a mode such as PSK63RC5 is quite troublesome to RsID tune as disabling TX lock can cause TX/RX "walking" if any RIT is in play.

And since it is in the same "auto" tuning area it might be a good idea to modify the AFC button tooltip to grey out on unsupported modes. ie only single carrier PSK.

Hi.

I'm sure I had all this working in the past, but not now....... Not helped by issues with my main PC preventing reliable access to it.?? That is fully disconnected, cold and dead for now.

Fldigi 4.2.06 with Flrig 2.0.05 on LMDE 6 running on an 8 core intel based machine, a Dell XPS laptop with 8G RAM, using external USB connected sound device, and serial port DTR to key the radio, a TS870s.

Using Fldigi/Flrig for "normal" working is fine, but attempting to create a macro to send a CWID and "ONLY" a CWID, and I'm failing...

I'm sure this has cropped up before in the list, but attempting to create a macro to send a CWID and "ONLY" a CWID, regardless of the prevailing mode that was being used I can't make work, after some 40 minutes faffing about, so hear I am.

This is the contents behind a freshly assigned "CW ID" Macro button...

<TXRSID:off>
<PUSH>
<MODEM:CW>
<TX>
<CWID>
<RX>
<POP>
<TXRSID:on>

It fails miserably...

Firstly it doe not always put the rig into TX!? Sometimes it will for a few attempts, then it'll not bother, but sends audio each and every time.? (Debugging this with the rig on low power into a load, while using the default audio device for the TX audio, so hopefully no QRM being sent.)

It always sends a RSID (TXID button here is enabled by default, and is not seen to be disabled while the macro runs.)? Then a burst of Olivia 8/250 (the mode that is present before invoking the macro) then does the CWID, and goes back to recieve.

The indicated mode does not change in the lower left display of Fldigi either.

Each individual macro function works exactly as advertised, but not it seems when combined into one file.? In this case.

What have I missed this time??? I.e.? How to force a macro to execute sequentially, as it is shown in the editor.

I just want it to key the radio, send an unadulterated CWID without any TXID or burst of whatever other digimode was being used, then go back to RX restoring the mode that was in use before the macro was invoked.

As earlier.? "Normal" Fldigi usage is fine.?? As are the usual macros for calling answering sending info, logging and closing QSO's etc.

Confused again and getting fed up with it.

73.

Dave G0WBX.

Bob,

Sounds good. Just like I've always had it. It just confused me a little because I'm hearing from the tech world that pipewire is the replacement for pulseaudio so I thought we would have to change the configuration from pulseaudio to portaudio using pipewire. It's a challenge keeping all of this straight LOL.

When working with PipeWire, you can use audio mixer controls like "qpwgraph" (a Qt-based graphical patchbay), "Helvum" (a GTK-based patchbay), or Carla (a JACK-based mixer) to manage your audio routing and mixing, depending on your preferred interface and complexity needs; for more advanced audio processing, consider using dedicated plugins within your DAW or applications that support PipeWire integration.
Key points about these options:

??? qpwgraph:
??? Considered one of the most popular choices due to its user-friendly interface and Qt framework, offering a visual representation of your audio connections within PipeWire.
??? Helvum:
??? A GTK-based patchbay that provides a similar functionality to qpwgraph, with a slightly different interface.

Unable to satisfy the build-depends: Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 12)
Unable to apply some actions, aborting

so I continue to do sudo apt-get

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep fldigi

When I do the sudo aptitude install pavucontrol command I get the following:

ny3j@ny3j-NucBox-G3:~$ sudo aptitude install pavucontrol
[sudo] password for ny3j:??????? ?

?pipewire-alsa : Conflicts: pulseaudio but 1:16.1+dfsg1-2ubuntu10.1 is to be installed
???????????????? Conflicts: pulseaudio:i386 but it is not going to be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

???? Keep the following packages at their current version:

???? Leave the following dependencies unresolved:??????? ?
2)???? pavucontrol recommends pulseaudio???????????????? ?



Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

I choose Y to accept this solution.

The messages that I get about Pulse Audio and Pipe Wire have me nervous.
