flrig alpha and icom ic-7760
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: https://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/flrig-IC7660-alpha.patch 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 -- Arkadiusz Mi?kiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

#flrig Switching from CW to FT8 leaves filter width at 500 Hz
4
#flrig
This is a problem that has been bugging me for sometime. I finally decided to look into it. I am running an IC-7300 and connecting to it with flrig. Most times I change my operating from CW to FT8 the filter bandwidth remains at 500 Hz. I am using WSJT-X to effect the switch. I have found the trace where WSJT-X is requesting the mode change and can see the XML and CAT interfaces. In the section below I see 4 CI-V transactions: at 681 ms - On selected VFO, set USB-D, filter 1. at 684 ms - Set bandwidth 9 - which I assume is what is setting it to 500 Hz (0 is 50 Hz, 40 is 3600 Hz). at 686 and 689 ms - these are setting default Twin PBT settings. Should we keep the bandwidth when we change modes or just keep the selected filter or even select the default filter for that mode? 73 Phil GM3ZZA 14:52:21.680 : readRequest: <?xml version="1.0"?> <?clientid="hamlib(24283)"?> <methodCall><methodName>rig.set_modeA</methodName> <params><param><value>USB-D</value></param></params></methodCall> 14:52:21.681 : WriteBuffer: FE FE 94 E0 26 00 01 01 01 FD 14:52:21.683 : 1: ReadEcho [2.13 msec] (10): FE FE 94 E0 26 00 01 01 01 FD 14:52:21.684 : ReadBuffer [3.254000 msec]: FE FE E0 94 FB FD 14:52:21.684 : WriteBuffer: FE FE 94 E0 1A 03 09 FD 14:52:21.686 : 1: ReadEcho [2.13 msec] (14): FE FE 94 E0 1A 03 09 FD FE FE E0 94 FB FD 14:52:21.686 : ReadBuffer [2.175000 msec]: FE FE E0 94 FB FD 14:52:21.686 : WriteBuffer: FE FE 94 E0 14 07 01 28 FD 14:52:21.688 : 1: ReadEcho [2.12 msec] (9): FE FE 94 E0 14 07 01 28 FD 14:52:21.689 : ReadBuffer [3.224000 msec]: FE FE E0 94 FB FD 14:52:21.689 : WriteBuffer: FE FE 94 E0 14 08 01 28 FD 14:52:21.692 : 1: ReadEcho [2.12 msec] (15): FE FE 94 E0 14 08 01 28 FD FE FE E0 94 FB FD 14:52:21.692 : ReadBuffer [2.161000 msec]: FE FE E0 94 FB FD 14:52:21.692 : writeResponse: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: XMLRPC++ 0.8 Content-Type: text/xml Content-length: 120 <?xml version="1.0"?> <methodResponse><params><param> <value><i4>1</i4></value> </param></params></methodResponse>

Next version FLdigi

GD. I really like FLdigi. Tell me, is it possible to add to the Settings menu item “send QSO via the UDP (or TCP) protocol to an external IP server”, as is done, for example, in WSJT-X.

Is there a limit on notifications?
Running FLDIGI version 4.1.18 on a Raspberry Pi 4. I seem to be limited to 21 custom text search notifications before they begin glitching and changing form into "My callsign de CALL" notifications. Is this limit normal and expected? Is there any workaround for this limit? Thanks!

Finally got FLrig working with my FT-747GX!
3
I posted a while back with issues getting FLrig working properly with my FT-747GX. I gave up on it for a while and today I randomly decided to try again. I came across a group.io thread where Dave recommended adding "return true;" to the beginning of the bool RIG_FT747::check() method in FT747GX.cxx. See the thread here: /g/linuxham/topic/ft_747gx_flrig_osx/104026557?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,20,2,0,104026557,previd%3D1708455867012856727,nextid%3D1706669712837988482&previd=1708455867012856727&nextid=1706669712837988482 I did this and recompiled and I had a connection to the radio. However, it seemed to be constantly polling the radio and could not get any changes communicated from the radio to the computer or the other way around. I changed the polling intervall to 2000ms and it looks like I'm rolling! Just wanted to help out others in the future. And who knows probably myself in the future too lol.

No RF output on digital suddenly
8
Ok, I'm hoping something is not wrong with the radio but that is looking less and less likely. I have a Yaesu FT-991a that has been working FB for a few years. The other day I sat down at the shack to do some FT-8 and noticed that I wasn't getting any power out when transmitting. I've done system updates which includes kernel updates, obviously rebooting etc. to no effect. I've also recently changed my desktop speakers from ones that used the on-board audio to providing their own soundcard via USB-C. I can easily use pavucontrol to setup the audio devices and what applications they are attached to and am receiving audio from the radio fine. Even when sending audio to the radio the VU meter built into pavucontrol is showing audio. I've reviewed the menu settings many times at this point using Dave's guide and can't find any problems. I have done a full reset on the radio and set everything up from scratch. I can turn on the monitor (MONI) and I can hear audio when I use the front mic but not when transmitting digital modes (AND I don't know if that's expected to work). I've also tried using a Signalink USB which is configured to use the DATA port of the radio which had the exact same results. Receive audio works fine, no TX audio output. To summarize... 1. Receive audio works using on-board sound card, TX audio does not. 2. Receive audio works using Signalink, TX audio does not. 3. CAT control works 4. PTT works Any other ideas before I ship the radio to Yaesu? Thanks, Richard KF5OIM

Fldigi Freezing
21
Hello Dave and the rest of the talented programming team. My system is Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon. I use the Wiki to build the Fldigi suite. When I use Fldigi for a while, like on a net, it will freeze. When I look at Top Fldigi is up over 120 percent. Tonight during a net it went up above 200 percent. I'm using Fldigi version 4.2.05. It also does it on version 4.2.05.04. This has happened to me before and there was a fix for this. A noob like me didn't understand what was done so I can't remember what the fix was. If no one else is seeing this on Linux then it could be my system but I wanted to make sure there's not a problem lurking somewhere. I hate to bring up the dark side but I didn't see the high CPU usage on my other PC which is Windows. 73, Ron NY3J

MacOS 15.3.1 USB and flrig
3
I recently tried to run flrig 2.0.05 and it tells me the COM port is not responding. I then go into config and select /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART4. After Pressing init it hangs and a forced quit is needed. I think it all started after upgrading to macOS 15.3.1. Was the serial driver replaced? I think something was changed in the USB drivers because upon boot my computer does not recognize my keyboard if it is connected to my USB hub. I need to connect direct to USB to be recognized. If the system is already running, using the hub/keyboard combo is not a problem. If I use a Windows 10 VM, I have no issues. Any ideas? v/r, Carlos

FLDIGI 4.2.06 / RumLogNG v 5.19.1/OSX / MacOS 15.3
10
Hello, I like to use FLDigi for RTTY and I have been working the RITTY contest this weekend. I am using my Elecraft K4 to send RTTY since its build it and works well. I noticed FLDigi is not decoding RTTY when I am in FSK mode to be able to send RTTY. If I move to DATA mode it decodes. I opened the filter on the FSK to get more of the siglanl into FLDigi but no decode. Im not sure if it’s the mode or the filter but if any can let me know I would like FLDigi to decode RTTY in FSK mode. Tim KM4ESU

Where to send user modified/tested/debugged sources?

One for Dave 'HKJ. What is the preferred way to submit modified/tested/debugged sources? And in what format? (I for one would "prefer to avoid" git etc, as I have never had a good experience with those systems, being all too easy to "royally mess things up!") 73. Dave G0WBX.

Linux Mint works on one user account but crashes on another on Linux Mint 22.1
5
I have an Asus I5 laptop that I set a second account up on to use Fldigi and WFVIEW together. I have created the profile twice. The first profile has Fldigi on it as well as WFVIEW. I was setting them up to use with another radio. The first one works fine. WFVIEW works fine on the second account as do other programs that are installed. If i start Fldigi from the desktop, the menu, or in the terminal ot crashes with a segment fault. This happens with or without WFVIEW running as I am doing a virtual audio cable between the two. Any suggestions? N0QJA

VARA.exe in Linux on a Chromebook (4GB RAM, 16GB eMMC)
2
Hi Jindra Not an expert on this so mainly thinking out loud. I assume you space issue on the 16GB came from installing wine32 and the i386 linux architecture on top of the 64bit? (ie sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386) There doesn't seem to be a wine64 dependency on the wine32 installation (in Debian) so maybe see if wine32 ONLY can be installed? (assuming you don't want to run any 64bit Windows programs). WineHQ however has lots of useful info. Maybe think about doing a manual strip of unused applications/libraries first?

sBitx v3 has low power on fldigi and wsjtx
#fldigi

#wsjtx
I have an sBitx v3 that has essentially not modified, other that a dist-upgrade (It runs some Raspberry pi version of Debian). The full power is 25 W, and when I set the PA drive to 63%, I get 10 W out on CW, as expected. However, when I run either fldigi or wsjtx with the drive set the same, I get 1.3 W. On both, the power sliders are set all the way up to max (0 db). Both are using hamlib. The only thing I could think of checking is the ALSA mixer, but no numbers are small enough to account for a loss of a factor of 8 in power. Any ideas on what else I could check?
