Re: Quisk Version 4.2.29 January 2024
Hi Jim,,in my case I can listen my voice when turning on only "FDX" . If I turn on "monitor" also, I get a noise only. In all case the TX send power out - infortunatly no Free DV users here.
A question for the developper : do you intend to add "pure signal" in quisk ? Thanks and happy new year to you and all members. Pascal? F6EHP |

Re: Quisk Version 4.2.29 January 2024
Thanks for the info, we'll try it as soon as we get the chance, it's my son who services us, so he'll need to stop by here first. Don't know exactly when he will come by at the moment, but you should be notified as soon as we are ready.
?
The modes we are using are 1600 and by QRM it is mostly 700C and 700D.
?
We are very much looking forward to trying it all out! Thanks for your work and the extra feature.
?
Would it be possible to have pre-emphasis enabled in FDV mode? As it is now, the voices are very dark and therefore we use an equalizer when we run FDV.
Mode 700C has never had a text field, nor should it, as it concentrates entirely on the voice part. ?
We are extremely grateful to you for your work. 73 de OZ1UM? Bjarne |

Re: Quisk Version 4.2.29 January 2024
Hello Jim,
Many thanks for this upgrade and on a direct connection to Quisk it seems to be working well and it certainly is a nice feature to be able to listen to the raw signal with the monitor. I guess that you have not looked at the remote which does not work at all for FreeDV and simply produces a tone on the carrier frequency with fairly wide sidebands. Mode 800XA seems to be working although I have not found anyone to talk to on it. It seems a lot wider than 700X but I need to look at the spec before I comment further. Thanks very much, Graeme ZL2TE |

Quisk Version 4.2.29 January 2024
This version updates the FreeDV library files and program logic. I added a "Monitor" item to the FreeDV menu. It routes the sound to the speakers instead of to the demodulator. Turn on both the monitor and FDX to listen to your transmitted FreeDV signals. Please test.
?
Modes 700x and 1600 are finished. The other modes will be added shortly. If you use any of them post here and I will move them to the top of the list. Jim N2ADR |

Re: Quisk Version 4.2.28 December 2023
Hello?Bjarne,
I have all the files from Quisk 4.1.40, but that version is from June, 2019, and is for Python 2.7. I am not sure whether it will run on Python3. Also, PyPi will not let me put it back on the server. It claims the name is in use even though 4.1.40 was removed. Perhaps I can make a Python3 version of 4.1.40 and name it something else. But a better solution may be to make FreeDV work properly in the new Quisk. Then you can install the latest version. I have not had other complaints about FreeDV but I will look at it. There have been few changes except for updated FreeDV libraries.? I will work on this and let you know. Jim N2ADR |

Re: Quisk Version 4.2.28 December 2023
Hello Jim
?
I am not a specialist at PCs, I am just a simple user.
But as we see it in our FDV group the newest versions are listening on both sidebands no matter what we choose, but transmit is taking place on the chosen sideband. We have just experienced that if we change sideband on the receiver side then we still receive the signal and if there is heavy traffic in the opposite sideband, then the signal gets ruined and it is impossible to hear anything.
?
It is absolutely ok if we can have access to version 4.1.40, but of course we would like to be able to use the newest versions so we can keep us updated.
We use windows 10 and it is old PCs from our kids we use. I for instance is 82 years old and we are all in that age range.
It is possible that it's our own mistake, as we are all from the analogue age.
We mainly use mode 1600 and mode C700.?
We don't know anything about codec2, so maybe the fault is there? We just use Quisk along with Python 3.11.5.
?
In SSB and CW everything seems to be ok.
?
It is ok if we can just be able to download and use version 4.1.40 if we can't figure out codec2, which is unknown to us and the fault for us might be there.
?

Re: Quisk Version 4.2.28 December 2023
Hello Bjarne,
I looked at the FreeDV code from 4.1.40 and the only changes were the introduction of modes with sample rates other than 8000 sps, and a change in the included codec2 library. As far as receiving USB and LSB, Quisk does not do any filtering. All filtering is done in FreeDV. Do you need 4.1.40 for reasons other than FreeDV? Or should we just fix FreeDV? Are you on Windows or Linux? What FreeDV mode are you using? What makes you think that both USB and LSB are being mixed? Where did you get your FreeDV codec2 library? Jim N2ADR |

You can run Quisk with "python3 quisk.py". --

Re: Quisk Version 4.2.28 December 2023
Hello Jim
?
I have observed that FDV-mode has problems in quisk versions newer than approx. 4.1.40.
In listening mode it can receive both LSB and USB, which leads to poor or impossible receiving when there is other activity in the opposite sideband.
So far it hasn't been a problem as we have just used version 4.1.40 when we have built something new.
We are very excited for Quisk and have used it for all our SDR timeline. It has been used for Lima-SDR, HiQSDR, Red Pitaya and Hermes lite 2.
Now a new problem has arisen as I can't find version 4.1.40 when trying to download it.
So what should I do now; of course I would like to be able to use the new versions. So if you, Jim, maybe can look into the problem or have a solution, or maybe if I can download 4.1.40 somehow.
We are very happy to be able to use Quisk and appreciate your service and help concerning the program.
?
Happy new year to all in this group.

Some gtk error messages
Using the new git setup, I started Quisk from a terminal rather than my normal startup script and of course got all the debug messages which I missed off the script. I have reproduced them below and wonder if they are significant as it does not seem to affect the operation of Quisk at all but it might be of interest
