Newbie IC-7300 setup help?

 

Group-
My IC-7300 works fine, using JS8CALL and a USB connection to a Win-11 PC.

I'd like to get FLDIGI working, without having to change the IC-7300 or PC soundcard settings each time I switch between JS8CALL and FLDIGI.

So far-
  • FLDIGI controls the IC-7300 frequency and PTT.
  • When I? sent a PSK31 CQ, the 7300 goes into TX mode but no RF output is seen in the 7300 meters.??
  • I could see the outgoing CQ text and PSK31 on the FLDIGI waterfall display
  • The receive FLDIGI waterfall display looks very dark.? No signals seen, although heard in the 7300.
Thanks & 73,
Jay

Re: IC-7300 keys but no power out

 
Edited

The 7300 needs to be in USB-D in order to receive audio from the computer.
USB-D will work fine with all software.

Worked before so it had to be something different. Worked perfectly before so what was different. Would not be able to receive and decode if not in USB-D. Would not be able to key transmit if not in USB-D. The one thing that was different was it was in USB. It needed to be, in addition to 50 other settings, in PKTUSB. THEN it worked as before. It is working now.

But hey, thank you!

There is on here somewhere a step-by-step set-up for the IC-7300 for digital. What version of fldigi are you using? The very last thing that needs to be selected on fldigi is PKTUSB. Even if all other settings are correct and this last setting is USB it will not put out power! It will key the transmitter but no power out.

Re: QMX not transmitting RTTY from fldigi... What could be the reason?

 

Ah, this probably explains my problem!
I have no Tx on my QMX with FLDIGI. I have been struggling to understand how PTT is implemented in the QMX. WSJT-X works fine so I was thinking it was FLDIGI, but now see it looks like an incompatibility between the two. Maybe I¡¯ll try an earlier version that to see which one does work.

Check fldigi soundcard settings. Also the Tx attenuator, lower right corner fldigi. If too low no power out.

Re: FLRIG 2.0.04 + TS590SG, Meters Display no SWR or ALC

Mike Black
 

And the wording in the manual is really funky...they do say you get 3 reading but the format they only show 1 reading.

It should be
RMP1P2P2P2P2P3P3P3P3P4P4P4P4;

And P1 is always 0

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.

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.

Hamlib has this logic for the TS480 and TS590 models

? ? retval = sscanf(ackbuf, "RM1%d;RM2%d;RM3%d;", swr, comp, alc);

Re: FLRIG 2.0.04 + TS590SG, Meters Display no SWR or ALC

 

Hi David, congratulations on your nuptials! I am happy to hear this wonderful news.

What I was saying with "three readings at once" was that the radio responds to an RM; command with a 24 character string containing responses for all three meter reading.

image.png
So you get SWR, COMP, and ALC with a single RM; command.

I found a where Filip added some code to handle this for the S and SG as well.

Enjoy your honeymoon, and merging two houses. My fiancee and I are also in that process of consolidating and it is no fun at all. Several truckloads to the thrift shop and a couple of dumpsters and there is still no end in sight hi hi.
