When trying to build fldigi 4.2.06.25 on macOS 15.3.2 with Xcode command tools, the following error emerged:

  CXX      config_script/fldigi-create_default_script.o
  CXX      config_script/fldigi-run_scripts.o
config_script/run_scripts.cxx:185:10: fatal error: 'scripts.h' file not found
  185 | #include "scripts.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

I couldn't find the file "scripts.h" in the tar archive. Any fixes?

Good Morning All,

Our local net has been trying Flmsg ARQ mode. I noticed in the user manual the menu selection is different than my Flmsg version 4.0.23.
The manual has a menu selection titled ARQ and when you select it there are 3 selections, Open/Close, Received Msgs and Events.
On my Flmsg there is a selection called Utilities which only has Received Msgs and Events.
The manual says if you select Open/Close it expands the bottom of Flmsg to include ARQ and the Send button along with the place to enter a callsign.
On my Flmsg the bottom part, ARQ, is always open. I've had stations confused with seeing the Send button and during regular Flmsg transfer hit the Send instead of the AutoSend at the top.
I was wondering if there is a setting that makes the Flmsg program behave the same way as the user manual.

Setting up your 2m/70cm FM rig with an external Sound Card

It is easy to under modulate or to over modulate an FM rig with an external sound card.

If you can monitor your own signal, the old guideline was that the sound card audio should be NO LOUDER

than the audio with your own microphone using your own voice.? But that is very crude.

Sounds like VARA FM? and? 8PSK? do not sound anything like a human voice - so begin with a simple TUNE signal.

Here is an optimally modulated ? THOR 22 ? signal sent on 2m FM (145.690 MHz) with an

Icom 2820 dual-band FM rig and a DRA SR (Masters Communications sound card).

The THOR22 audio is centered at 1500 Hz on the Fldigi waterfall.

RF Spectrum interpretation:

When the amplitude of the RF carrier (vfo at 145.690) equals the amplitude of the pair of first sidebands (+/- 1.5 kHz from carrier)

then the "MODULATION INDEX" is 1.5? (Bessel method)

The?? DEVIATION ? of the signal is established as the product of the modulation index multiplied by the audio frequency.

Using the 1500 Hz TUNE in Fldigi, that comes to a deviation (1.5 x @1500 Hz audio) of?? 2.25 kHz? (a bit conservative)

Since this signal was sent with the Icom 2820 set to 1200 baud (TX) then the radio's? transmit? "PRE-EMPHASIS"

will add amplitude to higher pitch audio at a rate of ? + 6 dB/octave.

So the deviation is a bit more for any audio at 2000 Hz, a bit less for any audio at 1000 Hz,

if the mode is that wide (say a 1 kHz mode like MFSK64)

But since?? THOR22?? is only 500 Hz wide, this "pre-emphasis"? of the TX signal at 1200 baud plays almost no role.

The deviation is about?? 2.2 kHz ? for the entire THOR22 signal.

The width marker? (12 kHz) on the image is just for SCALE value - not a true bandwidth.

Note each additional sideband pair is WIDER -? how come?

We can use the first Saturday of each month for those ops in the Phila region to test their 2m FM deviation

using the repeater on 147.270 (N3KZ) with a PL 77 Hz on the input only.? But NOT in April due to a SET exercise.

2.2.13 is broken and should be removed from your system. Use the current version 2.2.14. The last time I checked Dave's website still indicates 2.2.13 is the latest. Which is not the case.

Hi Neil

I remember this problem to do with flamp 2.2.13 maybe mid last year. Something about a wrong XML response or timing issue? Solved in my case at the time by going back to 2.2.12.4, but now with 2.2.14 and later fldigi alphas (using 4.2.06.24) it all works fine. There may have also been part of the fix in an early 4.2.06.alpha. 24 seems quite bullet-proof so maybe try that along with flamp 2.2.14?

Pretty sure it was discussed in this group July 2024

*On tonight's CCAR UHF FM net? (446.525) the net control took checkins with THOR32*

*I don't think I've ever seen THOR32 on FM nets (18 tones sent one at a time at 32 baud)
*

*It was fast, clean, and sounded great.*

*Here is the AUDIO spectrum? (not the RF spectrum) captured by the FLDIGI Audio Spectrum option*

*I am receiving this at? 9600 baud? (pin 4 on the 6 pin MINI DIN data port) or wide flat audio
*

*and sound card is a? DigiRig Mobile V1.9 (which works very well with the Icom 2820 rig)*

? ?? RAIN? GUTTER? ANTENNA?? on upper HF bands

I've been experimenting with a variety of HF antennas here at my new QTH at Crosslands Retirement Community in Kennett Square, PA.

I have some space limitations, but live on the first floor of a two-story apartment building.

Lots of RFI from everywhere inside the building? - S9 on 80m and 40m, less noise on 20 and 10m.

I have a? 140 ft end-fed wire with a 49:1 UNUN? which tunes up easily on 80/40/20m? and not so well on 17m/15m/10m.

This end-fed is horizontal, low to the ground (winds among trees) and is good for high-angle NVIS radiation on 80/40m.

I use it on the PA NBEMS net (3583 kHz) and on the Mid-Atlantic NBEMS net (7068 kHz)

I'd like to get up something with a? low-angle? signal for DX on? 20/17/10m bands.??

But can I keep any HF antenna "hidden"?

What I am now trying is the aluminum? rain gutter? for our building, vertical for about 20 ft, makes a right angle turn and runs horizontally for about 20 ft.

The coax attaches at the base of the gutter, near ground, to a 9:1 UNUN with a sheet metal screw into the gutter for a decent electrical connection.

So overall, about 40 ft of thick (painted) aluminum gutter radiating element - in the shape of an inverted? L and? not resonant on any ham band.

Lowest SWR around? 16 MHz.? It looks like it might work out on the 30m band as well (10.1 MHz).

I have a Palomar Engineering? (500W rating)? 9:1? UNUN on? 50 ft RG8X? coax into the shack (closet).

I have one counterpoise wire about 20 ft long attached to the UNUN?? ground terminal.

Then a good manual tuner in the shack to an HF rig for very low SWR on any band.

Here is what I see on my Nano VNA from 10 - 30 MHz: ? not bad SWR? (under 2.5:1) ? in the shack on 20/17/15/10 meters.

I'll give it a try over the next few weeks and see if the local noise is more/less on these bands, compared to my 140 ft end-fed.

I'm often running QRP on these bands, CW and digi modes only.

I have a (3) Linux Ubuntu systems.? Raspberry Pi 400, older Dell i7, Older HP tower with Ubuntu server (still not setup). I love Linux. The windows machine has the ability (with much gnashing of teeth) to run everything.? Winlink, WFView, N1MM, N3FJP all require winders, unfortunately. The sooner the world discovers Linux the better. Software installation could be simpler for the not so talented.
Thanks,

Windows also now regards just about all audio input devices as "Microphones", and will disable them during an update, on "Security/Privacy" grounds!.

That causes all sorts of corporate grief with online MS "Teams" meetings etc, where the users know little of what goes on, and their corporate IT types just dance to the MS tune.

Check your privacy settings, before allowing, and after an update.

Glad I use Linux these days.

Each to their own.

Just a thought Stan. I have no direct experience of this.

I remember that there was the need/warning to install the Icom USB/Codec driver before hot plugging the radio. Perhaps the W11 "migration" has negated the result of that.

Just a guess, but suggest removing/uninstalling the device (from device manager), unplug the radios, remove the Icom driver from program add/remove, hard reboot the PC, then reinstall the Icom driver with a fresh download from their site. Then see if that clears the problem after hot plugging the radios.

The device enumeration may then reorder things so fldigi/flrig may need port adjustment.
