No "MEEP MEEP sound" when using Chat on ON4KST

 

I am a happy user of the Qlog and I also use the "Chat function" where you can connect to ON4KST
but I really miss the funktion to send a "MEEP MEEP" triggered by the /CQ call?
?
is there a way to get arround this ???? maybe another a small chat client software there can run in a small window as in Qlog
?

Hello,

I already responded to this in my previous email from June 28. I might add a longer comment on why I¡¯m not focusing on playing sounds in QLog. Just listen to the FT8/FT4 traffic and hear how many system sounds from various applications are heard. This is because users mostly leave everything in default settings, which means their application outputs go to the sound cards which are used by WSJT-X. To prevent this in QLog, I would have to implement a QLog's output setting for these sounds to define prefered sound card for "Alerts". That means adding more settings for users, which they likely wouldn't change.?

Yes, you could say that users can change it, but very few will. QLog aims for minimal and simple settings. I think adding preferences for different sound cards would increase the complexity of settings. That¡¯s why I use sounds very minimally in QLog, because the goal of a logging application is not to disturb the operator while listening on the band.?

However, let's try to come up with something that could help you notice when a CQ message arrives. Apart from the window that displays messages only for your call, what else would help you?

Hi?

As you told me in a previous mail that Qlog is not the same as on4kst-chat that is ok...that is why i aske other users how they get around the need for a sound "meep meep"

For several's years i have used SDR-radio and here i use VAC (virtuelle audio cables) so I don't have any "meep meep" audio and in to my wsjt-x or whatever software you use.?

And you have to activate the sound in the on4kst-chat setup...so there is nothing to setup in Qlog, I think ??


But it is really nice to have Qlog and the chat running at a small window on my screen...I have also SDR-thetis, pst-rotator, RF2ks spa....so yes my screen is nearly full..
