Hello Jim,

Congratulations on advancing the beta again and for the improvements. I have run some preliminary tests on this version and note the following


quisk-4.2.6

Would not switch between CW and LSB

Started the remote on 80M
remote is started with cwl selected
Started ctl-head with lsb selected and remote matched ctl correctly. That is it changed to the ctl frequency and mode.
Using favourites,
Switch to a CW favourite both match
Switch to an SSB favourite and remote stays on CW but Ctl correctly changes
Switch to any mode with buttons & both change
This can be reproduced every time.

Setting LNA Gain
The option for initial lna value (Hardware menu) is of course no longer available but would be nice to have. Perhaps it could be set on the remote and read back into the ctl-head?

An Aberration
Started once for me with no graph (sound was OK). have not been able to reproduce this again and a restart of the ctl-head only had everything normal again.

Forward Power calibration
I want to rebuild the power out calibration file again but can not do this from ctl-head. I am not sure where the calibration file is read from whether it is at the remote or at the ctl-head. I have a table at both locations. Maybe I should build a table and manually add it to the config file? I would appreciate some advice here.

@Ben, I have run the client/server over wifi using an ethernet connection for the server and wifi from my laptop for the client. I have not followed your suggestions yet but even so the performance is pretty good with about every 5 or 10 minutes a brief break of 1 sec or so which I suspect is associated with a rescan. I will implement your suggestions, try again and report any difference.

Thanks, Graeme ZL2APV

This is an update to the new Quisk Remote feature by Ben, AC2YD. The frequency is now correctly set when changing bands. Initial menu items are now set. Frequencies stay synchronized when changing from USB to CWU. I changed the graph data from 8 bit to 16 bit.
I improved the config screen visibility when using "Dark" mode.

I noticed the following problem on Fedora 35. Maybe the problem was there also in older Quisks, I cannot check it now. But it worked OK at least cca. year ago.

If I click 'Config -> Config -> The file-play -> ...' to select the play file I get SIGSEGV. If I want to change the file, I have to directly edit the config file quisk_init.json. The same for the record file

works fine here with 4.2.2 on Fedora 36

Thanks for update version 4.2.6

Upgrade on Raspi 4 (Radio HL2) and Linux Mint (Control Head) without any problems. Both Quisk has Large Screen configured.?

Flipping with CWU <-> CWL don't do anything. My knowledge to CW isn't perfect, but I through it should jump up and down the signal frequency?

I can not reproduce this. Was there an initial bad file name in the JSON file?

The power meter calibration is located at the remote radio. The remote just sends the text values to the control head. So go to the remote and on the config/radio/Hardware screen enter "New" as the Power meter calibration.

Hello all,?

it has been a while since I used the quisk software?but this new remote function is really great ... I do have some questions but first I will describe my working system test:

Hello Jacinto,

Thanks for the report!

Yes, I do see the segmentation fault on RPi4 raspian when closing Quisk.? This RPi4 is directly connected to HermesLite2.? I see the segmentation fault both when running the remote, as well as the non-remote (traditional) Hermes Quisk radio.? It does not seem to affect behavior while running.? I have Quisk ask me which radio to use when starting up , and I notice that it does not remember which Radio I last used (e.g. Remote HLT2 vs. Local HLT2).

NOTE:?? Before installing the new (remote) Quisk on RPi4, I did a full OS upgrade, and noticed that the latest Python for Raspian is 3.7.3 ... I believe Jim recommends 3.8 or 3.9 ... I don't know if this is a factor, but this is a good opportunity to mention it ... again, things seem to work well while running.

I also upgraded my Ubuntu desktop to 22.04, and noticed that provides Python 3.10.4, also outside the range Jim recommends.? I don't know if that could cause any problems, but it sounds as if it is working well for you ... the Ubuntu 22.04 upgrade also provided Quisk 4.1.93.? I have not tested any Quisk on this upgraded machine yet.

I will need to defer to Jim to answer the questions about MIDI.

Can you tell us what kind of network you have (ethernet, WiFi, internet?)

THANKS!

Hello Ben,?

first some corrections to my text, I have unbutu 20.4 not 22.04 on jetson nano, and use python 3.9 ... sorry for that ... on the RPI4 I think I have python version 3.8!

yes, you are right, it doesn't affect the working behavior, I also have Quisk to "ask me" and I think it's working, don't know right now but will check later ...

>> Can you tell us what kind of network you have (ethernet, WiFi, internet?)
for the moment is Ethernet, it is still all in test, I will test later with my win10 tablet by wifi

another thing I detected is the NR2, by the way, is working very well in the control head but I have to switch first on the remote radio because the button is always unavailable, do you also have this?

thank you

Hello Ben,

I upgraded in the weekend to Linux Mint ver 21 which is based on Ubuntu 22.04 and of course is using python 3.10.4 which is working well except for the sliders on the config screen etc. which are displaced but there was also upgrades to gtk3 I believe so that, rather than python, may be the cause. I will report this in a more orderly fashion when I get more time to play with it and pick up on the other screens that may be affected.

Using wifi on my laptop with a wireless connection I get fairly frequent breaks (every 30 secs or so) which are more in the nature of a click rather than the long silences with the graphics pulsing as happened in the past with a full spectrum of I and Q. I have done nothing to tune my wifi yet and may be able to get an even better result.
