Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

whether I use /dev/ttyUSB0 for /dev/serial/by-id/... I get the same results. One thing I meant to mention is that when I click init the audio on my radio stops for a split second and I see the "CAT" symbol on the radio come on for about a second then turn back off.


Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

I would like to note that selecting /dev/ttyUSB0 results in the same issue.

Yup I can manage that. I will give it a shot tonight and report back.

Do I need to remove the current version or will this overwrite what is currently installed? If I need to remove the current version, can you tell me how to do that? I always get confused as to how to uninstall software on Linux.


Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

I'll have to double check what version I have, I thought 2.0.04 was the most recent on the website.

Thank you, I'll reply back.

macos 15.1

flrig 2.0.05
fldigi - built from git today, also 4.2.06.05

Especially version numbers, for all software items you wish to run together.
That will help a lot.
I know nothing to little about Apple Mac's and their software, but I do know others on this list do know that stuff.
I think what happens is, macloggerdx reports over UDP:

[Radio Report:RxMHz:7.07968, TxMHz:7.07968, Band:40M, Mode:LSB,

fldigi reads that and parses it in parse_maclog() using parse_report() function. That function reads frequency

if ((p = str.find("RxMHz:")) != std::string::npos)
mclg_rxhz = get_freq(str.substr(p));

and then at the end of parse_report() show_mac_strings() is called which requests frequency change to flrig:

void show_mac_strings()
{
SET_THREAD_ID(MACLOGGER_TID);

if (mclg_txhz > 0) REQ(maclogger_set_qsy);

That calls maclogger_set_qsy() which requests outdated frequency (sendFreq(hz);) to be applied to the radio.

Outdated because macloggerdx sends reports not too often and fldigi assumes them to be "current" (which is wrong; the frequency is already different due to changes on radio knob or via flrigi freq display).

Why fldigi requests frequency changes based on maclogger radio report - no idea.

For spots, with "Tune to Rx Spot" being on that makes sense, for regular radio report - it doesn't IMO.


All the best.

Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

I don't think my first reply worked, sorry if this is a duplicate.
?
Originally I was using whatever version came pre installed on DragonOS, 1.4.something. last night I installed 2.0.04 and I had the same issue on both versions.


Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

That's what I'm trying to get to. I want to get the radio communicating with flrig, and then I will communicate through flrig to each other program.
?
To my knowledge the radio will not power on over CAT, there is a latching button on the radio that is pressed to turn it on and off.


Re: DigiRig, flrig, and a Yaesu FT-747GX

 

WSJT-X uses hamlib and one of the "radios" is flrig. I use flrig as a concentrator. WSJT-X, FLdigi and my logger all connect to my rigs through flrig. Phil

Does the Yaesu have the capability of being powered on using the CAT interface?

I use flrig with an FT857. and I find connecting a tad finicky.?

Have you tried to start flrig, then the FT747?

FT747 on and then?flrig?started? then ft747 off/on?

For me it seems like different?methods work at different?times.?

I keep?my Ubuntu PC up 24/7 for months, once I do connect I keep the rig on for a long time and it stays connected.

Have you tried FLrig with WSJTX? That is start FLrig, start wsjtx and set rig as flrig.?

It's worked for me , I dont recall if connection?is finicky.?

so it does sendFreq(hz) every short time. Just hz it has is sometimes old value (radio already has been set to new freq) which makes it tell flrig to go back to old freq.

Shouldn't it just do

maclogger_set_qsy() {
...
if (!progdefaults.maclogger_spot_rx)
return;

Tracked it down.

Frequency was being changed in maclogger_set_qsy().

I had "Tune to Rx Spot" turned on and fldigi reacted on:

[Radio Report:RxMHz:7.07968, TxMHz:7.07968, Band:40M, Mode:LSB, Power:100]

These look like a kind of "current status report" and not "spot" for me.

Anyway disabling "Tune to Rx Spot" and the problem went away.

Hi.

Yes. Flrig alone and:

- flrig frequency display follows frequency changes made at radio
- same for the other way - frequency changes made at flrig are applied to radio correctly
- changes made via flrig xmlrpc api are applied to radio correctly

flrig works reliably for me.

If it does, then something is wrong in how FlDigi, interacts with Flrig.
Fldigi should "follow" any changes at FlRig.
Ok, so I didn't miss any special option.


If WITH FlRig and FlDigi running, and you change the frequency (or mode) at Flrig, does FlDigi follow those changes.
When changing frequency on flrig then fldigi tries to follow but with the same "revert" problem, sometimes, as when changing frequency on radio.

I assume the radio follows FlRig.
Yes.

Debug log with rig i/o, server and client on:


- fldigi started with freq 14078100 being on its display
- (mouse) clicked *fldigi* third freq digit from right ("1") down, it changed frequency to 14078000, good, flrig follows, radio follows
- now started clicking fourth digit down on *flrig*
- one click -> fldigi went to 14077000
- second click -> fldigi went to 14076000
- and then fldigi went back itself to 14077000

Re: Linux Recommendation - Work is a RHEL/Windows Shop

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Joel,

any version of Linux is a good version of GNU/Linux, at least in someone's opinion. If your works is using RHEL, then Fedora has a lot in common. For the Broadcom drivers, you could also try liberating/borrowing/otherwise acquiring a USB-to-Ethernet adapter and using a good old wired network connection for the initial installation.

As an alternative, Ubuntu is more liberal with hardware drivers, and others have reported success, see .

I don't know if it matters but I am taking a familiarization course on K8s.

I am currently playing around and live booting Fedora but I'm having a hard time with the Broadcom WIFI drivers on the MBA - I'm in a catch-22 situation in that I need a network connection to download drivers for a network connection.
