Re: Peaberry SDR and quisk no transmitter output

 

Hello Ryan,

Our time zones have delayed my reply sorry. Go to Menu/your radio/Hardware. On the RHS half way down is the setting "Enable power amp" which should be set to "True".

Hopefully this will be the problem for you.

Re: Peaberry SDR and quisk no transmitter output

 

Graeme,

i do not remember a setting for that I have been through them now so many times??¡á?. ?I will look again. ?Any hints where that setting is? ?


When I hit ptt or spot the relay for my external amp closes so I believe the transmitter is enabled. ?I changed the sound settings briefly and can hear the tone generated too. ?It¡¯s as if nothing is being sent back to the peaberry. ?Still curious as to what the errors are on the screen showing the connected sound cards.


I was going to test the PA on the bench with my desktop pc running windows to make sure the drivers are not blown for some reason. ?My desktop computer has windows 10 and used to use powersdr with the peaberry but the driver for its internal sound card windows won¡¯t let me update. ?


Re: Peaberry SDR and quisk no transmitter output

 

Hi Ryan,

Have you checked that the PA is enabled in the hardware settings?

Checking remote ports

 

Hello group,

I have been working on my remote over the internet and have run into some mysteries. To test my path to the Quisk-remote software I have been trying to telnet? nn.nn.nn.nn port

gvj@DLap:~$ telnet nn.nn.nn.nn 4585
Trying nn.nn.nn.nn...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
gvj@DLap:~$ telnet nn.nn.nn.nn pppp
Trying nn.nn.nn.nn...
Connected to nn.nn.nn.nn.
Escape character is '^]'.
In the first case I was trying the command port for Quisk and was refused. In the second case I was telneting to my remote shack controller and was able to connect perfectly as I can for port 22 (ssh). I know that port 4585 works because I can connect remotely over the internet and apart from getting RF into my home network and dropping the command port it works 100% I am OK at QRP levels and strangely enough with CW.

73, Graeme ZL2APV

Can anyone explain why I can't telnet to quisk on 4585/6/7 please?


Re: Anyone using OS X and quisk?

 

I normally use "pip3" instead of "pip" but this may only be of concern
if you have python2 along with python3 on your machine.

Re: Quisk Version 4.2.12 November 2022

 

Hi Jim,

For some reason this message was kept as draft, I wrote it a week ago...

I modified a file from Ben at the Control Head end, and got sample rate working, as well as audio. Only the large screen functions work (very well!), the small screen hampers when it comes to the side bar, as mentioned before.?
The "control_hiqsdr.py" is attached, I'm sure it can be improved, but it's a start ;-).

Re: Latency constraints for remote operation?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Thanks for clarifying ... and that is pretty consistent with my experience, using Quisk over network *or* just locally (no remote feature) ... I'm pretty sure this could vary some from computer to computer, and sound system to sound system, although with remote usage, the sound system buffer needs to additionally make up for any network jitter (but not average network latency) ... I have my Control Head Play Latency set at 30msec on a pretty fast Windows computer with WiFi connection to my local outdoor rig-in-a-box, which gives me an occasional crackle, but is mostly fine ... I used it all weekend in the CQWWDXCW contest (and it's amazing what 5 watts can do!? 400+ Qs in 78 different countries from East Coast USA).

Thanks for the good report!? Glad things are working for you.

Which "buffer delay" do you mean?

Re: Latency constraints for remote operation?

 

Hi Ben et al,

So there are several (UDP) ports open at 4G in the Netherlands. Among them UDP port 1194, which is used by openvpn. Over the past days I installed openvpn as a server on the odroid XU4 on which I also run Quisk. The client part of openvpn was installed on the control head of another Odroid XU4. And now magic: It runs over a MiFi link! Using only 20 ms buffer delay I can still not notice hick-ups, and the data consumption is roughly 56 kB (Bytes!) up and 38 kB down, so about 500 kbps of total data bandwidth usage. My round trip (ping) delay time to the MiFi is less than 50 ms, 32 ms average.

So I am quite happy so far!

73s,

Peter, PA3BIY


Re: Latency constraints for remote operation?

 

Hi Ben,

I've found the reason why I can't connect over a MiFi: limited port access. The 4G providers here make only very few ports available (open), hence I will have to use some kind of tunnel. Initially I tried SSH tunneling, which worked but with a 10 s update timing of the graph :-(. So now I am in the process installing Openvpn, and will use port 1194 (UDP), as that port is open over 4G. I am not there yet, configuring openvpn takes more time than anticipated, but I will let you know when/if I succeed.

73s,
Peter


Re: Latency constraints for remote operation?

 

Hello Peter,

Are you using the latest Quisk?? I recently did some work on the network connection aspects (especially the "already in progress" issue); Jim released that work in the latest, 4.2.12.

If you are already using 4.2.12 (or even if not), try starting the Remote Radio Quisk (making it available to connect) before starting the Control Head Quisk.

Hi Ben,

Yes, PW is set on both devices. The remote and local are both sitting on my desk, so initially I connected them to the LAN, and it worked. Next I connected the Remote to the MIFI and set the appropriate forwarding ("virtual servers").

There is 1 error on the Control Head:

Remote Control socket.connect() error: [Errno 114] Operation already in progress

There might be another issue: Blocked port ranges by my 4G Provider (T-Mobile). I ran into that a couple of years ago, but have not found a list (yet) of blocked ports. That's if T-Mobile is still blocking some ports....

Re: Latency constraints for remote operation?

 

Hi Ben,

It seems that all my ports are closed, in spite of the port forwarding. At least that explains why it does not work, not the "Why" they are closed.
