Re: FTDx10 and Raspberry Pi and Pulse and FLRig
About the CAT interface and FLRIG ... I used the same settings that I use on my other two RP and I just kept trying to use interface:
?
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_01829563-if00-port0
?
and eventually it worked.? I did not do anything different, I just kept trying and the last time, it worked.? I have no idea why it failed to work for 10 or 20 tries then worked on try 21.? There were numerous reboots during that time, I don't get it.??
?
About the audio interface ... I have an FT710 and FT897.? Both have been running for months and are current on updates/upgrades.? All three RPs are running the same OS, pulse, and FLDIGI FLAMP and FLMSG versions.? In FLDIGI the RPs on the 710 and 897 use interface?
?
?
Note the "USB Audio Device".? That category does not display in pulse on my third RP.? On that machine, I get this:
?
?
There is nothing about USB Audio Device.? It works and I am satisfied with that but it is different for some reason that I have not found.??

Thanks for the advice.? I will review the other information and I may take some of your suggestions :)

Re: Moving to linux, how to set up Ft-950?
The port to use may show up as USB or ACM

?ls /dev/tty*
this will show all tty ports

I think you should be aware that Linux makes a distinction between a USB port and a serial port at a DB9 or DB25. It is even diferent in the devices in /dev folder of available devices.

The RS232 device common on older computers, can be connected directly to a serial port on your SignaLink if it of the serial port version. Otherwise, if you have a serial port version of the SignaLink,? use a USB port adapter for serial ports.

As far as the 950 goes, you do not want to use the SignaLink to mic adapter unless there is no other options. That is due to the way a mic is handled internally (i.e. compressor, eq. , etc.) The preferred option is the aux port on the rear panel and the SignaLink adapter cable for the 950.

When selecting the USB port (or serial port) Linux may list it with the CODEC name rather than the port name. Same for FLDIGI or WSJT-X. Try using the port with the CODEC name first. There are also options in the SignaLink box that my need configuration. There is very good documentation on the Tigertronics web page. Some trial and error may be needed to get it set up properly.

That's not the signalink, that would be the serial port for CAT My mistake, tired old brain mis-thinking again. Yes, the FT-950 CAT is done via a USB->serial lead and the audio device is whatever the Signalink appears as, a PCM290x Audio CODEC. It's quite a lot of years since I had my FT-950 set up with the serial and Signalink. Too used to newer radios with built-in USB hub and CAT and audio via the same USB cable. -- Brian G8SEZ

With the Signalink you basically have an external modem in there,
a TI PCM290x series chip. Linux will recognise it (probably shown as
TI or Texas Instruments but may also be called Burr-Brown) and it will
probably appear as /dev/ttyUSB0, although the 0 could be another
number. You should be able to see it appear and disappear as you plug
it in and out by using ls -al /dev/ttyUSB* in a console window.
Note that your Linux user ID will need to be a member of the dialout
group or you won't have access to these devices from a non-root account.
Then you select the radio type and modem path in your programs and it
should just work. Quite a while since I used an FT-950, I sold mine
several years ago.

Re: Fldigi ver4.2.06 and 4.2.06.21
Hi again.
Well, this is very strange.
I renamed the entire .Fldig files folder, and started up
4.2.06.24 in it's /src folder from the command line.
After going through the basic configuration, things were
working.? AFC control working as expected.
After some time, I exited, waited, and re-started it the same
way.? BANG!? That AFC button is greyed out!
Mode was still PSK31, as it was the first time.
There is something funny about how it is saving/recovering
settings from a previous session.
The daft thing is, if I again remove the .Fldigi settings folder,
and start up 4.2.06 (release) and do the same procedure, THAT TOO
instantly suffers the greyed out AFC button issue when restarting!
I've run MEMTEST86 overnight, no errors.? Spinrite 6.1 likewise
passes the main hard drive as healthy, and as it is only Fldigi
that is misbehaving, I don't know what else to try.
Earlier versions (and alphas) on the same OS (LMDE 6) worked
OK.?? (As do WSJTx and JS8 Call.)? But do have issues some times
with the Rv button, needing to be "toggled" when working with MFSK
modes, so the decoder is the "right way up".
If it was a case that when the AFC button is disabled, and the
AFC functionality too was turned off, that would be
understandable.? But, if (when the AFC button is greyed out) and I
select MFSK64 mode, with a waterfall full of PSK31 signals, the
two red bars move about hunting for a signal, indicating (to me
anyway) that the AFC is still working, despite it's control being
disabled.
That is a huge problem when (for example) receiving the weekly
ShortWave Radiogram, as when they send pictures, often the Fldigi
"tuning indicator red bars" will wander off frequency during the
picture transmission, and not find the digital mode again when the
picture (successfully received) ends!
I've seen that behaviour for some time now, and was thinking it
was "just me", but now I'm wondering if something in the permitted
controls vs mode logic is messed up.
Might this be related to the need when running Olivia and other
MFSK modes, to "toggle" the Rv button, to ensure the decoder is
the "right way up" vs the Rig Sideband mode.?? That issue too, has
been present for some time (I've reported it before) and I know I
am not the only person to notice that, as it has caused issues a
few times with the UK RAYNET HF nets, when working digital.?? (As
I have also reported in the past.)
Sadly, my knowledge of C/C++ is not good enough to even figure
out where the code that handles all this is located in the
sources, let alone fathom out the logic.?? Else I would have a go!

Re: Moving to linux, how to set up Ft-950?

?
I have been using Linux Mint Debian Edition for many years now. I have had no problem using my SignaLink on my Yeasue rig.?
I also run all the NBEMS software natively, including NetLogger.
?
My system is a totaly Linux system now but previously I was dual booting with W10. I have since replace all the Windoz apps with
native Linux apps and now I do not need Windoz at all.
?
The setup of the SignaLink is pretty straightforward from the documentation. But, the USB port works best if it is not on a hub...
although it will sort of work from a lightly loaded hub.
?
If you need some guidance with Linux, seek help from a mentor. Or, contact me directly. It is not hard if you get started right.

Re: Fldigi ver4.2.06 and 4.2.06.21
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?

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.

Hi All,
I have a question on? FL Digi on a Mac.? I had an older MacBook Pro with an Intel processor.? I just bought a new MacBook Air with the M3 processor. I am having problems getting FLDigi to work on it.? I gave the Mac permission to run the program and permission to use microphone.? I downloaded and installed FL Digi 4.2.06 .? When it comes up, it asked for permission several times and keeps on ending the program.? Is it the M3 processor or is it something I should change on the Mac???
I hope somebody has an answer to this.
Thank you,
Pat

Re: FTDx10 and Raspberry Pi and Pulse and FLRig

Good point.. however, to get to the embedded audio device, the USB connectivity needs to be fully functional (that may be the reason some assume that SiLAB is required).

The silab drivers have nothing to do with the usb audio.?
In windows a microsoft driver is used for usb audio on that same connection, and the silab driver just does the uart-usb comports.
Same in linux, an alternate driver is used for usb audio.
It is a common misunderstanding and assumption.

I have a Win 11 laptop, I downloaded the windows drivers from Yaesu, connected to the radio, FLRig immediately worked.??
I have a Raspberry Pi running bookworm.? I switched it from Pipeline to Pulse and from Wayland to X11.? lsusb shows the Silicon Laps CP2105 Dual UART Bridge.? When I open Pulse, it shows PCM2903C Audio CODEC
but it does not show any USB drivers.? When I try FLRIG config FTDX10, click update then select
"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_01829563-if00-port0",
baud=38400 and 1 stop bit, and click Init, I get "Transceiver not responding".? If I try the other port:
"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_01829563-if01-port0"
... I get the same thing.? I tried to search for a solution and did not find anything. I have two more RP with identical config running a Yaesu FT710 and a Yaesu FT897.? Both are excellent, no issues.? All
suggestions are welcome!

Re: FTDx10 and Raspberry Pi and Pulse and FLRig
Not sure… had zero issues with the FTdx10 on the Raspberry 5 – just need to make sure you have your user in the
dialout group… typical stuff.
If you don’t change your port connections the USB device names should remain the same (and you may wish to explore creating some udev rules to make it super simple to identify – two examples included).

Well that was helpful, thanks everyone!? FLRig just started to work.? I have no any idea why.?
I'm still stuck on the USB port in Pulse.? Is there something I have to do in Pi to cause it to reinitialize its IO configuration?
