Hello, I'm testing quisk hamlib control and have run into an issue. Not sure I'm do this correctly : rigctl -m 2 -r localhost:4575 Rig command: _ Info: Quisk version 4.2.25 Rig command: l Level: AF Level Value: 0.123900 Rig command: L Level: AF Level Value: 0.5 Rig command: When trying the L command for AF I get the following error : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/wx/core.py", line 3282, in <lambda> lambda event: event.callable(*event.args, **event.kw) ) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk.py", line 6479, in OnReadSound self.HamlibPoll() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk.py", line 6254, in HamlibPoll if not client.Process(): # False return indicates a closed connection; remove the handler for this client File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk.py", line 970, in Process self.Handlers.get(self.command, self.UnImplemented)() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk.py", line 1189, in SetLevel self.app.sliderVol.SetValue(v) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk_widgets.py", line 360, in SetValue self.slider.SetValue(value) TypeError: Slider.SetValue(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/wx/core.py", line 3282, in <lambda> lambda event: event.callable(*event.args, **event.kw) ) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk.py", line 6479, in OnReadSound self.HamlibPoll() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk.py", line 6254, in HamlibPoll if not client.Process(): # False return indicates a closed connection; remove the handler for this client File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk.py", line 970, in Process self.Handlers.get(self.command, self.UnImplemented)() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk.py", line 1189, in SetLevel self.app.sliderVol.SetValue(v) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/quisk/quisk_widgets.py", line 360, in SetValue self.slider.SetValue(value) TypeError: Slider.SetValue(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'

This release corrects the Hermes-Lite2 antenna tuner logic. Jim, N1ADJ, has an antenna tuner and is helping debug. Thanks Jim! Jim N2ADR

This release has support for the Hermes-Lite2 antenna tuner protocol. The tuner button is on the last row of the screen at the left. Please test. Jim N2ADR

I'm working on adding IO Board ATU support for the Hardrock-50, but if Quisk implements the protocol defined at: https://github.com/jimahlstrom/HL2IOBoard#table-of-i2c-registers I can't figure out how to trigger it. I don't see REG_ANTENNA_TUNER in the source, so perhaps you haven't gotten to it yet. If so, is it on the roadmap? Thanks, Jim N1ADJ

Hi Jim, Do you have a description of the LED status of the 6 LEDs which are connected to the FPGA on the HiQSDR board of DB1CC? I have been searching on internet and in the file folder here in groups.io, but have not found a single reference. In the schematic I found 8 LEDs, on the actual board there seem to be only 6: D3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Best 73s, Peter, PA3BIY

Hi All, I wonder if anyone can tell me what their HiQSDR noise floor is, when the input is not connected (or connected to a dummy load)? I have the impression that the noise floor of my HiQSDR board is rather high, hence I ran a few tests. I tuned Quisk to 10.7 MHz and provided a signal of -80 dBm, which showed as -77 dBm on the S-meter in a bandwidth of 3 kHz. Hence, the signal strength of the S-meter correlates well with the applied signal. The signal strength of the noise in a 3 kHz bandwidth showed a value of -101 dB(m). Ignoring the 3 dB difference, a noise floor of -101 dBm in 3 kHz equals a noise figure of approximately 38 dB! Given the hardware build up I would expect a noise figure somewhere between 20 and 30 dB, but I have not been able to find any specifications of the HiQSDR hardware which shows such specifications. So before I start debugging the HiQSDR board for anything faulty components, I wonder if anyone can provide reference noise levels (or noise figures)? BTW, I checked also on 4 MHz, and the noise floor drops 1.5 dB in 3 kHz bandwidth (i.e.: 102.5 dBm). I set the attenuator in Quisk to 0 dB, the positive Gain setting never worked. 73s, Peter, PA3BIY

When using the Hermes-Lite2 at a remote location over WiFi, the Tx buffer may underflow. I added another line to the Config/Status screen to show the number of Tx buffer errors. Jim N2ADR

I'm looking at using a Raspberry Pi Pico W to collect ADC data and it appears that my clock will not be able to get an accurate 1228800 Hz clock. I will be sending this data over UDP to quisk, and can know accurately what the sample rate is. Will I need to resample this at the proper rate in the PC, before sending it to quisk, or does quisk have that built in? 73, Rob KL7NA

Greetings Friends, I am planning a little SDR using a quadrature sampling detector for receiving and a Si5351 for the LO and the transmitter (for sending digital signals). In the past I have used a sound card for getting the IQ data to quisk. This time I have decided to include the ADC on the board and send all the data over WIFI so I can install the radio in a remote location to the computer running quisk, WSJT-X, etc. There is a similar design here called wsjtx_transceiver that sends data over USB serial port, and uses an RTLSDR instead of the QSD one. The question I am pondering and seeking advice on is should I just roll my own protocol for the control and for the IQ data, or is there one that is already defined that I should use instead of adding to the problem of multiple SDR radio protocols already there. Advice? Tnx & 73, Rob KL7NA

Hi! I'm trying to chase down some annoying clicks/buzzes in the IQ stream sent in the audio stream sent to my Tayloe style 48khz QSE transmit mixer. I'm quite certain there is no overrun situation or anything like that occurring. Is anyone else seeing problems like this? I notice that the clicks start appearing as soon as the audio resampling fixup routine starts correcting the buffer fill level in "sound.c" around line 524. Until the first time this code runs, the audio is perfect, but once corrections start being made then very serious artifacts start appearing in the audio. I'm working on a Pi400 and some Pi4b units under the new "Bookworm" OS, but the problem is identical in the earlier os version. Thanks in advance for any help or advice I can get on this. M

I connect my HL2 to and HF antenna with PA enabled on the ANT jack and VHF transverter(s) using split IF at 28Mhz at about 0dBm using the new IOBoard Aux Rx and RF1 for the output. The PA needs to be disabled to make it work right on VHF. The IO board with my customized firmware is handling the J9/J10 switch and band decoder output OK. I can disable it (and have Disable T/R in low power = true) in the Config menu but it would nice if it was automatically configured on Xvtr band change for seamless operation. An example of this is the Thetis XVTR setup. Not all transverters use low power IF drive so controlling it per band is most effective. Along with that , per band, is option to set drive level as each can be different. Regards, - Mike K7MDL

Hi all, I noticed in October 2023 QST magazine, page 65, that Jim Ahlstrom, N2ADR, was recently recognized, by the ARRL Board of Directors, with the ARRL Technical Innovation Award. Here's a passage from the minutes of their meeting: " WHEREAS, James C. Ahlstrom, N2ADR has made major contributions to ham radio hardware and software by creating the Quisk SDR transceiver, and through designing numerous other innovations within the Hermes Lite 2 SDR hardware transceiver platform. All software products are open-source and free to users; " It's not the first time, either ... a little internet research showed he was recognized with a similar award in 2012: http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-board-of-directors-names-award-recipients-at-2012-second-meeting Congratulations, Jim, with many thanks!! -- Ben, AC2YD --

Hi Jim, I was so glad to see you recognized for all your work for the builders in the amateur radio community! Congratulations! 73, Rob KL7NA -- Rob Frohne, Ph.D. P.E. School of Engineering Walla Walla University (509) 527-2075

Hello Is it possible to change this. in my Ubuntu the field is grayed and i can change the rigname so that wsjtx cant run a 2'nd instance (with another rig name) I have searched the configuration files, tried to add option ti wsjtx command line and other things - still no joy. Thank you for a very nice program, im trying to build a antanne comparision dual reciever based on wsjtx SNR reports. regards Joakim, OZ1DUG

This version makes digital programs like WSJT-X easier to use. There is a button on the Config/Config screen to start WSJT-X. The default is "Never". Select "On startup" to start WSJT-X when Quisk starts. Select "Now" to start it now. When Quisk starts WSJT-X, it uses "--rig-name quisk" so that the settings you make are saved separately. On Linux, Quisk can set up virtual sound card names, and I changed these names on the drop down lists. For Digital Tx0 Input, choose "Use name QuiskDigitalInput" and then find this name in the WSJT-X sound output menu. For Digital Rx0 Output choose "Use name QuiskDigitalOutput.monitor" and then find this name in the WSJT-X sound input menu. See the new Quisk documentation for details. Jim N2ADR

I fixed a bug in the HiQSDR when the clock is not a multiple of 48 kHz. I added more support for the IO board. Jim N2ADR

Ordinarily, I would go to hiqsdr.org but that site doesn't seem active. We'll my old system crashed and everything related to my HiQSDR was lost. Can anyone point be to an archive that holds all the hardware related docs to the HiQSDR pcb? Schematics, BOM, assembly instructions. Many thanks, Chuck Glasser

Sorry Found it !!
