Re: Xiegu G-90 + FLDigi; waterfall issues
Sorry I missed that you were mainly operating CW, decoding in fldigi. So I have done lots of CW decoding in SSB in the -D mode on G-90, but have not done transmission so I cannot be sure the signal out is correct in that mode but I do expect so.
Thanks for the info Andrew.
?
I was hesitant to use the dash U or dash L because many folks seem adamant about using the CW mode. Maybe since I'm using WinKeyer for the code generation, it isn't as big a deal as I?assumed.
?
I'll give it a try and report my results.

FLDigi, N3FJP, and contesting
I'm?trying?to get prepared for the Hawaii QSP party tonight, but this question applies to any contest.
?
I believe I have FLDigi and N3FJP hooked up correctly and talking to each other. CAT works and CW decodes/encodes well, (enough). QSOs log properly into both N3FJP?and FLDigi.
?
The behavior I'm curious about is that the frequency pane in FLDigi doesn't follow the frequency selected, either by spinning the VFO knob or by clicking on a station in the N3FJP band map.
?
Any thoughts.?

Re: Xiegu G-90 + FLDigi; waterfall issues
The G-90 needs to be in USB-D or LSB-D, with the input source set to Line.? FLRIG does not know about these settings so will be in USB or LSB after it performs init, manually change it after.
My waterfall with G-90 is set to 10 and 80.? But yes the audio power level could vary and need to be different than someone else.? The audio level in and out in the radio settings on my three different G-90 radios are all set differently as they have enough variance to need that.
I'm trying to use FLDigi as an encoder/decoder with the Xiegu G90. I think I'm?close.
?
The problem is I can't get the FLDigi waterfall to show activity.
?
Adjusting the?two selections at the bottom of the waterfall, only changes the background from black to blue. The trace for the incoming signals, usually yellow and red, is non existent.?
?
The?Signal diamond?is black 99% of the time. Every once in a while it will tick yellow or green.?
?
?
If I put the VFO on a spot on the G-90's onboard waterfall with no activity, the decoder is still producing text. The decode function of FLDigi seems like it's trying to work, but it's gibberish. If I tune into ARRL's W1AW practice code station it is decoded, (just okay), but still no activity on the waterfall.

Other digital modes: FT8 and FT4 work flawlessly. Winlink works okay too.
?
I feel like the incoming sound level isn't right. I've mucked-around with the computer sound settings, but that didn't resolve the issue.
?
Note; in the shack, when I substitute an Icom IC7300 for the G90, everything works. When I use FLDigi, the IC7300, and desktop PC, it functions?perfectly?pretty well.

I use FLrig to access all my SSB net frequencies which all works fine with port sharing with FLrig Ver 1.4.7.

Just a pain Mike.

They must have made some change in the later versions of FLrig compared to V1.4.7 that has caused this.

The new version of FLrig will hook into the spared port but then the frequency wanders around and it is not stable.

I have gotten the SWR meter working and it has a
reasonably-accurate scaling with a lookup table based on the

int
RIG_TS590SG::get_swr(void)
{
? ? ? ? int mtr = 0;
? ? ? ? cmd = "RM;";

And the result:
My get_alc doesn't seem to work, and I think it has to do
with the 590SG always returning all three meter readings on a
single response line. SWR is the first of the three, which is
why I think it works with this function. I'm not sure how to
scan for the third response. ? ? ? ? sscanf(replystr.c_str(),
"RM3%d", &alc_val); doesn't seem to pull it out.

Re: FLAMP Question: block fills from old queue ID?
Version 2.2.12.04 and 2.2.13.0x (not published, and the only difference is in OPT.M4 file) are slated to become 2.2.14 once Dave has the time to publish one of these 2 Alpha versions. I don't have a time frame as to when this will happen. I see no issues using 2.2.12.04 until that time arrives.
Sadly even 2.2.12 has some issues and the reason for 2.2.13 release, because of miscommunications with myself and Dave the wrong pu/xx branch was published (for 2.2.13). 2.2.12.04/2.2.13.0x is the correct/working version.
