Hi David,
Wrong forum for HL2 & PowerSDR !
Why not just use the setting for 'Reuse Last IP Address' rather than 'Use Static IP Address' because if you are on a local network with DHCP on the router, then the IP assigned may change and then the fixed IP won't work.

Anyway, better to post in the HL2 forum here

New to Hermes Lite 2 after just receiving the radio last week.? Currently trying to install software.? I would like to use "PowerSDR_mRX_PS_v3.4.9.0" as my software.? But I keep getting the error in the heading of this post.? I've found the IP of the radio and entered it under the tab General/Hardware Config.? Any idea why I keep getting the error?

I've had this issue for a while, but I need to see if I can get it fixed. I have set the PTT key to ord(' ') and I get the following repeated in the terminal:?

Pictures says more than words. Here is a screenshot with xdemorserc and quisk sound setup.
I have only modified xdemorserc in one place. old was:? hw:0 edited to: hw:1
The system sound is at maximum and sound from quisk is controlled by volume slider.
The decoder is very picky about the morse code pitch. (higher than I prefer)
Decoding is about the same as fldigi can do. The best cw-decoder is located between your ears :-)?
I am slowly relearning cw after 40 years hiatus from ham-radio.

Niels, Thank you for your response.? How are you routing the cw audio from Quisk to xdemorse?? That is where I am having problems.

Hi Dick
No, but I just had to try xdemorse :-)

First I tried installing with sudo apt-get install xdemorse just to find out that I couldn't find xdemorserc. So I installed from source and here is my steps:

download source from https://packages.debian.org/sid/xdemorse

wget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xdemorse/xdemorse_3.6.5.orig.tar.bz2

# unpack
tar -xf xdemorse_3.6.5.orig.tar.bz2
cd xdemorse-3.6.5/

./configure.sh
make
sudo make install

cd
mkdir .xdemorse

cp /usr/local/share/examples/xdemorse/* /home/username>/.xdemorse
# !* replace <username> with your linux username *!

the file xdemorserc should be in /home/username>/.xdemorse

In xdemorserc I changed soundcardname from hw:0 to hw:1

I managed to decode some strong signals but I have to dig further into the linux sound system to get a more reliable reception.

Is anyone running xdemorse with an HL-2?? I am having problems with routing the audio from quisk to xdemorse.? Any help or ideas will be appreciated .
Thanks, Dick w1up

Thanks Jim,

Somewhat unrelated. I do have hamlib rig 2 setup in cqrlog and it is working fine. I also gave JS8call a try for the first time but couldn’t get hamlib to work there so used the serial port from quisk and it worked. ? As of last night I upgraded to the latest hamlib and they’re both working now. ?

The serial port interface is going to run the lpf on two amplifiers. ?Using the ldmos big amp at only 35 to 50 watts out is terribly inefficient! ?Going build another 100 watt amp using Jim Veatch boards with an enormous heatsink just for digital modes.

Now I understand. The serial CAT was designed to communicate with other programs such as?N1MM+ or WSJT-X. So it creates a virtual serial port with one end connected to Quisk and the other end to the program. This won't work with a real serial port on Linux. Linux users generally use Hamlib rig 2 for CAT. This uses a network connection. Or they use the Fldigi XML protocol.

It should be fairly easy to connect the current logic to a real serial port. I will add the feature to the next release.

Not sure it's related, but one cause of crash on Windows, was this illegal ptr to free():

Jim,

I should clarify I have the arduino connected to ttys0 physical comport of the computer and just need to read the current frequency in quisk.?

I am a little confused about how this works. ?I only need to read the frequency from quisk on the serial port as if my arduino was connected to the CAT serial on a physical radio. ?Is this not possible?

I am worried about these segmentation faults. Eric and Ben see them. But Graeme and I do not. I can't fix it if I can't produce the fault. My remote is on the LAN, not WiFi so maybe that is a problem. It does seem that gdb is the best tool.

It would help if I knew the hardware used (SoftRock, HL2,...) and the OS (Linux, Windows), and the network (LAN or WiFi). Ben is local, so if he can reliably see the fault maybe I can come over and have a look.

Thank you Jim,

It works beautifully! I can now run a KiwiSDR on my web browser and Quisk with pulse giving me the ability to switch between either receiver (or both) helping me to beat my S8 local noise. My station is getting fairly automated now in terms of connecting up. I have a control box which is driven from a server written in Python on my remote Rpi4 that allows me to turn on the equipment in my shack individually and prime my antenna tuner for a tune cycle when RF appears plus receiving a signal from the tuner when tune cycle is complete to go to normal transmission. My operating position has a client app written in Qt6 which I am in the process of converting to PySide6 which sends the control signals to the control box via the Rpi4 and python server and the tune button. When the controller's tune button is clicked to prime the tuner, I send a CAT command to Quisk to operate the spot button and turn it off again when tune complete. I have not had to touch a line of your code, nor that of the HL2 so congratulations on such a well thought out system with all the hooks I need to get the result I want -- ditto for HL2

Thanks Jim, from a Linux user.? I'm curious what you did to improve pulseaudio speed.

The Alsa sound driver and the Windows sound driver with the "Fast Sound" option are fast enough to produce a useful sidetone for CW operation. I improved the PulseAudio sound driver to produce a fast sidetone too.

Quisk reads Hamlib commands from the serial port. It does not send Hamlib commands. If you want to send Hamlib commands you need to program the required commands into your custom hardware file.

I have also used the same method as Graeme without a problem.
One caution if using freedv -- the version included is for x86_64 and not for Pi4 or any other ARM SBC.

"git clone build and install then remove freedvpkg/lib* and copy /usr/local/lib/libcodec2* to freedvpkg/ of the quisk source package if you need to "make soapy3".

All,

I am trying to setup quisk to communicate via ttyS0 to an external device (arduino) to control my amplifiers LPF's.? I have my user name in the dial out already.? In the remote menu I have set up CAT to /dev/ttyS0 which is a real serial port and have it connected to the arduino but I cannot get it to do anything.? The arduino is programed with ok1cdj code for band decoding and I have tested it with my picastar which emulates a TS2000 for CAT and it works so I know the arduino is working.? Since quisk uses flex cat commands I figured this would work.? When I loaded the sketch to the arduino I also changed the baud rate to 9600 following the instruction in quisk.? Serial port shows being set to 9600 also.

I really would appreciate some help with this.? I sure hope this is possible and I am likely missing something here hopefully just in the way I have the serial port setup in quisk.?


Thank you

I am using quisk version 4.2.12 in remote mode. The hot key at the control end changes the PTT button to red but doesn't key the transmitter. I changed the code in OnReadSound in quisk.py to fix it.

Maybe there is a better way, but this gets it going.


if ptt is True and not ptt_button_down:
self.SetPTT(True)
# code added to set remote PTT when hot key pressed Don Magee
if application.remote_control_head:
application.Hardware.RemoteCtlSend('PTT' + ';1\n')
elif ptt is False and ptt_button_down:
self.SetPTT(False)
if application.remote_control_head:
application.Hardware.RemoteCtlSend('PTT' + ';0\n')
