Thanks Bob, I was thinking that this smacks of a config file conflict somewhere.

I'll look into that, as soon as the just announced "honey doo" tasks are completed.? (Her sister is coming to stay for a night!?? I'm thinking of sleeping in the 4x4 on the driveway HI!

Hi Dave...

Also keep in mind that AFC state can now also be saved per band/modem as well, in a similar way to output level and squelch. That would certainly cause some weirdess. Look at Config/Misc/Saveparams to see what the overall save state is. These are saved in the config directory within the file mode_state.prefs. I remember getting this confused for output levels once so I just altered the file directly. I think a good start point for testing is to ensure that any line with "afc" in it has the value of "1" (enabled). Given there are near 2800 afc lines I'd recommend using some grep filtering! Like;

grep afc mode_state.prefs | grep \:0

Displays all modem/band combos with afc disabled

To add to the confusion that file has AFC entries for modems that wont use it. It was easier to program that way I guess.

My original concern about AFC/RSID also involved TX lock. This being very useful if the radio TX/RX freqs are not exactly the same. One can "walk the band unintentionally.

Yes it can all get quite complex Some modems need to use RSID to get the centre close enough. eg 8PSK & OFDM. Multicarrier PSK modems don't ever use AFC I suspect because the code is written for a single carrier! Any IFK mode doesn't ever need it nor Olivia/Contestia. What is left that really needs AFC? Maybe just test these?

Hi.

Well I said I'll report back.? But it'll be brief as I've been "booked for other things" (again.? I wish DM would give more advance notice, but when I suggest that, I get "The Look"!)

Anyway.

4.2.06.24 builds OK and runs.? But, the AFC control functionality is still weird, but in a somewhat different way to .21.? (Difficult to get my head around it, let alone describe it!)

Next stage is to archive all the settings and log files, and see if a "clean" build works correctly.

I rarely "Install" it these days, preferring to run it via a script, pointing to it's location in the projects version file tree.? It is also much easier to revert to an earlier release if issues prevail.? At least that's what I find.

~/app-srx/fldigi-4.2.06.41/src/fldigi??? For example.

The script containing that, itself invoked from the system menu tool.? If there is a better way, I'm all ears!? :-)

If a clean build does behave, then some investigation is needed perhaps, as I cant be the only one to update the executable with a new build, and expect things to at least "behave sanely".

One thing I've seen, that I sort of understand, is if RXID is active, AFC cannot be controlled, regardless of if it is active or not.?? I can understand the idea that if a station is using TXID, you shouldn’t need AFC to receive it, but there are some that use it, and still drift, so we need the free choice to use AFC or not please.

Also, if the AFC button/functionality is "blanked/greyed out", then the background AFC functionality, if it was in use, that should be turned off before the gui control is disabled.

Sorry scroll down to the Security section all the way at the bottom. That’s where you will see the message referenced below.?

Open your System settings app and go to Privacy & Security and scroll down to the Privacy section. You will likely see “Fldigi has been blocked to protect your Mac”. Click on Open Anyway and follow the prompts until it opens. You should have to do this only once for Fldigi but you may have to repeat the process for other unsigned apps that you download.

A CNAME DNS record would probably do it. Problem is that Dave may want the site hostname for something else, or he'd be giving it up and no longer have DNS authority over it.

You may be able to get away with making a local host declaration on your PC though ie directs to 72.52.250.187 (however you OS does it)

Thanks Bob VK2YQA.

Re:-? "I'd suggest discarding 4.2.06.21 in favour of 4.2.06.24 for any further testing."

I'll progress that today, and report back later I hope, though it's just been decided by "management" that I'm fetching and carrying furniture later today.

Regards.

Hi Dave,

?

That space after the -- was a figment of my OCR software. Once I figured out how to copy and paste directly from Linux to Windows, I saw that the space wasn't actually there. So here's what the file actually looks like:

?

[Desktop Entry]
Name=flamp (right radio)
GenericName=Amateur Multicast Protocol Client/Server
Comment=Amateur Radio Communications
Exec=flamp -ti "Flamp (right radio)" --config-dir $HOME/.nbems- right --xmlrpc-server-port 7363
Icon=flamp
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=HamRadio;

?

?So, that desktop file is still not working, but when I enter that exact command, with or without the quotes, I get the same results. FLAMP starts, but shows “NOT CONNECTED”.

flamp -ti "Flamp (right radio)" --config-dir $HOME/.nbems- right --xmlrpc-server-port 7363
flamp -ti flamp-right --config-dir $HOME/.nbems- right --xmlrpc-server-port 7363

However, your comment got me thinking, “What if there is something else wrong with that command?” So I did another test:

Start FLDigi (left radio).
Start FLDigi (right radio).
Here’s the netstat so far:

pi@nexuspi:~ $ netstat -an | grep 736

tcp??????? 0????? 0 0.0.0.0:7363??????????? 0.0.0.0:*?????????????? LISTEN????

tcp??????? 0????? 0 0.0.0.0:7362??????????? 0.0.0.0:*?????????????? LISTEN????

pi@nexuspi:~ $

Start FLAMP (right radio).

pi@nexuspi:~ $ i@nexuspi:~ $ flamp -ti flamp-right --config-dir $HOME/.nbems-right --xmlrpc-server-port 7363
autosend 715

?

FLAMP works like a champ, showing "CONNECTED" except that FLAMP (right) is transmitting on the (left) radio instance of FLDigi. Here’s the netstat:

pi@nexuspi:~ $ netstat -an | grep 736
tcp ? ? ? ?0 ? ? ?0 0.0.0.0:7363 ? ? ? ? ? ?0.0.0.0:* ? ? ? ? ? ? ? LISTEN ? ??
tcp ? ? ? ?0 ? ? ?0 0.0.0.0:7362 ? ? ? ? ? ?0.0.0.0:* ? ? ? ? ? ? ? LISTEN ? ??
tcp ? ? ? ?0 ? ? ?0 127.0.0.1:7363 ? ? ? ? ?127.0.0.1:38352 ? ? ? ? ESTABLISHED
tcp ? ? ? ?0 ? ? ?0 127.0.0.1:38352 ? ? ? ? 127.0.0.1:7363 ? ? ? ? ?ESTABLISHED
unix ?3 ? ? ?[ ] ? ? ? ? STREAM ? ? CONNECTED ? ? 16736 ? ?
pi@nexuspi:~ $?

?

So, I have something that works, but it still puzzles me.?

?

PS: The "random inputs" was something I was typing myself to indicate that the software was ignoring my inputs. I guess I wasn't the clearest I could be on that.

?

Anyway, thanks for your interest. So much to learn. 73.

Hi,

I'm playing with this and, at first look, IC-7760 seems compatible with IC-7610 handling, so for any brave souls here is a patch to test:



To be applied on top of git://git.code.sf.net/p/fldigi/flrig pu/df branch.

ps. power levels are interpolated, so could incorrectly reflect real power

Hi Dave

AFC is not relevant to all modes. Back in the 4.2.06.alpha evolutions I mentioned to the forum that it wasn't working, but was indicating "on" with the multicarrier PSKR modems. RSID action was also involved as it kind of replaces AFC action.

RSID Squelch and MFSK AFC were patched only last month. (see Changelog) ie 4.2.06.24 has some associated changes. As I recall that also involved "more" greying out of the AFC button when it wasn't active.

I'd suggest discarding 4.2.06.21 in favour of 4.2.06.24 for any further testing.
