#raspberrypi
Running FLRIG version 2.0.05.? I had s-meter, power meter, SWR etc working.? Somewhere along the line they stopped working.? I must have done something to make them stop working but I don't know what it was.? I have checked here and in the help, I don't see how to turn them back on.? Any hints?

Re: FSQ in FLDIGI: center frequency questions
Great discussion.? Seems like we could move Olivia to 1000.? I already have a simple macro to switch to Olivia and it would just take a second to add a line to it to change the frequency.??? Sarah, N6OPE

Re: FSQ in FLDIGI: center frequency questions
Jack KD4IZ and Don AB1PH,
When I tested with Fldigi only it appeared to work but with radio on I can see 1000 as red and 1500 as green. As confirmed by Dave W1HKJ FSQ is fixed at 1500. The good news is GOFREQ will work with other modems. Sorry for the confusion. 73 Don

The root of my question is that yes, you can move the window on screen, however the transmitted signal will remain on 1500 (denoted by a red bar). I have just recently communicated
with Dave, W1HKJ ?on this matter and he looked into the code and stated the following clearly (quote):

Bad news on the FSQ issue.? It is designed to work at 1500, so I am removing the 1150 / variable option.? Moving the tx/rx
frequency should be done at the transceiver or with rig frequency control.

I assume he means shifting the 1500 center frequency by using the VFO or a rig control program So I am skeptical of the result you got other than seeing the RX window line shift.?
?
So to get a clearer answer: Did you transmit after the shift to 1000 and observe the TX signal shift on another receiver??
Did the red bar move for you or did it stay centered on 1500?
It moved for me, but the aqua (receive window) bar did not and the transceiver transmitted at 1500.
To check, I manually tried to move the receive window (aqua bar) to 1000 – doesn’t.
To answer John, W0JWT – nope, same response. It will always transmit dial frequency + 1500Hz.
?
Tried several ways to doodle it and W1HKJ - David’s assertion is true. FSQ is functionally locked at 1500Hz. That point should be made clearly in all fldigi information and FSQcall
information.

Hi Jack, ?As I understand it the GOFREQ command is independent of modem choice. It moves the WF cursor to freq NNNN Hz. That being said you can add a modem change in the same macro.
It would look like this:?
Yes it’s easy to test and I did. All you need to do is copy commands above into a blank macro. ?
FSQ defaults to FSQ-4.5 which is widely used.
You can add <TX> at the end of the macro and it will transmit your message or <RX> and you’re ready to receive messages. You can also make another macro to change back to say OLIVIA
8/500.
The PUSH command is probably not needed but if will keep you current frequency in memory ?and using the POP command retrieves it. Hope this helps. 73 Don

Re: help with dotted yellow lines: I am dense
My thanks to KD8FTR and Bob for clarifying?this.
I believe that is the decode area for RSID.
You can adjust the width in setting in case a station is a little off frequency.
Right click the RxID button and click the box on passband if you want to decode a signal anywhere in the waterfall, otherwise it's centered on your modem center.
|
Re: help with dotted yellow lines: I am dense
Oh shd point out that Waterfall | Display has the colour
settings;
Signal BW, Center line, Signal trks, Notch, RsID Zone, Monitor,
so depending on your colour scheme/palette, yellow could be
something else

Re: help with dotted yellow lines: I am dense
Hi Don
RsID detection bandwidth. The dotted lines disappear if RxID
button upper right is not green. The colour can be changed.
See Configure | Config Dialogue | IDs | RsID
Settings box in lower right of sub window, "Min BW Detection"
Apart from modem setting, RsID is very important to get you in
the ball park for vestigial tone modes like OFDM and 8PSK. Not
really important for IFK modes like Thor, Domino, IFKP and FSQ.

Could it be an errant value in RsID squelch open time? I think
the default is 5 seconds.
