Openradio and Quisk
Hi Jim,
I'm playing around with as simple SDR somewhat similar to the openradio SDR built by some Aussies in 2015.? I'm attempting to make their code work.? Just following their instructions didn't seem to work here.? I suspect something changed between 2015 and now on the quisk end of things.? I'm attaching the README, and the quisk_conf.py in the hope you can tell me what I need to modify. Thanks & 73, Rob KL7NA -- Rob Frohne, Ph.D. P.E. E. F.

Re: Quisk with Rasbian (Buster)
For the Fire3 I used the Ubuntu xenial arm64 image.

Re: Quisk with Rasbian (Buster)
Hi Group,
Have ordered NanoPi Fire 3, looking forward to its arrival in a month or so ...? Meanwhile, I have tested earlier versions of Raspbian and,? for some reason (corrupted .img-file ?), Jessie (2017-07-05-raspbian-jessie) refused to install despite a number of downloads and trials. Yesterday I succeeded in installing version Reach (2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch) which seems to work OK. Both Quisk and WSJT-X are running flawlessly, without signs of overloading the OS or the power supply. I guess the version Buster I tried at first is intended more for the RPi4 and thus requires a better processor with more RAM. 73 de Heikki (OH2LZI)? |
Re: Max power level settings for the redpitaya 122.88-16 board : 240/255
Actually, the saturation effects starts precisely with a power setting level of 250 and worsens with a setting of 255. See the picture attached with power level settings of 249, 250 and 255. On Sat, Jan 11, 2020 at 12:09 PM Peter Ide-Kostic via Groups.Io <on7yi.pik973=[email protected]> wrote:

Max power level settings for the redpitaya 122.88-16 board : 240/255
I noticed that when the power level setting in the band menu is set to 255, the redpitaya 122.88-16 board produces a completely saturated spectrum. Please refer to the following discussion ?I noticed that the power-level settings can be increased from the default 120/255? to a max of 240/255 without producing a distorted spectra. Anything above 240 will create distortion. Note that there is no such issue with the 125-14 board that delivers a clean signal with a setting of 255/255l, the issue is only for the 122.88-16 board that is less powerful than the 125-14 one. To summarize, I don't think that some modifications are required in QUISK but other QUISK/redpitaya 122.88-16 users should know about this if they don't already . |
changing waterfall color slider limits?
Hi,
when i connect my Plutosdr it gives a relatively high noise level. This results already in bright colors in the waterfall. If i set the minimum slider to the highest power value it is still not good. So my question is if there is a configuration value for the limits of those sliders? regards Mario |

John Melton said he didn't like the Fire3 because it had only one USB port. i found using a USB hub it supports keyboard, mouse, wifi dongle and a USB 3.0 1TB hard drive and is quite speedy with the 8-core CPU. The eMMC is available for the nanoPi-M4 and the -M4v2 which have a plugin socket on the board. 73 ... Sid. On 04/01/2020 07:37, Heikki Ahola wrote:

Re: Quisk with Rasbian (Buster)
Hi Sid,??
NanoPi Fire3 looks like an interesting device, worth trying in the future unless something even better in the same price range comes up ! One thing I do not quite understand, is the eMMC type memory available in all NanoPi boards ? Furthermore, is it possible to run the NanoPi board without an SD-card ? 73 de Heikki (OH2LZI)? |
Re: Quisk Version 4.1.52 December 2019
Hello Bruce,
When the on/off button is operated, the hardware open/close methods are called. It is up to the hardware file to implement open() and close() effectively. I do not have your hardware so I can not test to see what is happening. Perhaps you could change DEBUG to 1 in softrock/hardware_usb.py (if that is your hardware) and see what messages it prints.

Re: Quisk Version 4.1.52 December 2019
Hi Jim,
Incidentally, I like the idea of an on/off button to ease the process of stopping and re-starting with new parameters. Now that the button seems to be working in my case, I see the sound processing halting and re-starting as was probably intended. However, I was hoping it might also ease the change from one digital app to another where there is not only a sound routing change, but also a tune and ptt control change. I find the button does not help with that. It is still necessary to completely kill Quisk and re-start from scratch in order to enable ptt/tune coordination. Would it be possible for the on/off button to also stop and re-start ptt/tune communications? bruce, ag5gt |
Re: Quisk Version 4.1.52 December 2019
Supposedly, Linux mint 19.2 and Ubuntu 18.04 are closely related. However, there are various window managers available. With button behavior, that may matter. In my case, where the button behavior was peculiar in python 2, I'm using the light-weight version (xfce based?) of Linux Mint, hoping to minimize cpu loading. There are also differences in kernel update policies between the distributions. With all of that going on, instances of subtle incompatibility seem likely to arise, particularly with a significant transition such as python2 to python3.
I don't see it as a big problem. It's just part of the deal. bruce. ag5gt |

The nanoPi series are more capable than the RaspberryPi and are even? Pi GPIO compatible. Yesterday I tried booting from a 64GB eMMC thinking that all I had to do was to dd the image file to the eMMC as I can on the ODROID SBC's. Today following Build an sdcard-to-emmc image (eflasher rom) After burning to a microSD card and booting, it came up with a screen to restore to eMMC. After pulling the microSD card it booted successfully from the eMMC. |dd if=rk3399-eflasher-friendlydesktop-bionic-4.4-arm64-20200102.img of=/dev/sdd bs=1M status=progress 73 ...

I will try Jessie once I get more SD cards. It will be nice to have various systems readily installed and switch by changing one card only. I will also follow the Radioberry project although building the hardware completely from scratch is quite challenging, need to wait if they come up with some group buys in the HL2 style ! 73 de Heikki (OH2LZI) |

Re: Quisk Version 4.1.52 December 2019
Hi Graeme,
I had wondered if it might be a python2 vs python3 thing. It was. Thanks for the prompt. Linux Mint 19.2, out-of-the-box, appears to be incomplete with respect to what is needed to install and run python3 Quisk. I had been running python 2.7 because that was the default in the distribution. Today, I installed the missing bits for python 3 and then the python 3 version of Quisk using pip. That seems to have fixed the "ON" button behavior. To install and run the python 3 version of Quisk did require installation of several packages. It was an onion pealing process. Here's a list from /var/log/apt/history.log for today: python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-dev libpython3.6-dev dh-python libpython3-dev python3.6-dev python3-sip python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-usb Bruce, ag5gt |
