What leads you to conclude that it does not work on Windows?

Yes. It works just great in WIndows: doesn't work in FreeBSD...yet!.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I almost missed it, because when I read "bug in the Windows MinGW build" I thought it was space alien speak for something else ;-)

Got it.

That leaves 2 items on the table...

So I guess from your example, this is not part of fldigi config, but a call to the host OS, and ~that~ reply depends on locale settings?

...and the minor comment....

While I was browsing the manual, I found a date mm/dd/yyyy used as an example of ISO8601 format, and I didn't think that was correct.

I appreciate your test and reply...thought I was misremembering how that was supposed to work...can't recall the last version I used IZDT in, but I think it was 2022...maybe 4.1.20 or so...

Seems that's a bug in the Windows mingw build
It works in Linux.? This is a known problem.
There is a way to get the correct information from Windows shown below.
Maybe Dave can fix fldigi for this.

Code below in Linux
./mytime "%z %Z"
Result string is "-0500 CDT"

In mingw
$ ./mytime "%z %Z"
Result string is "Central Daylight Time Central Daylight Time"

#define _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
? ? char outstr[200];
? ? time_t t;
? ? struct tm *tmp, result;

? ? t = time(NULL);
? ? tmp = localtime_r(&t, &result);

? ? if (tmp == NULL)
? ? {
? ? ? ? perror("localtime");
? ? ? ? exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
? ? }

? ? if (strftime(outstr, sizeof(outstr), argv[1], tmp) == 0)
? ? {
? ? ? ? fprintf(stderr, "strftime returned 0");
? ? ? ? exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
? ? }

#ifdef _WIN32
? ? printf("Daylight = %d\n", _daylight);
? ? printf("TZ = %+05d\n", (_timezone/3600 - daylight)*-100);

? ? printf("TZName = %s\n", _tzname[_daylight]);
#endif
? ? printf("Result string is \"%s\"\n", outstr);
? ? exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

Hello, All:

I am using one of Kevin's DRA units with Fldigi, VARA-HF and Winlink Express in my daily
traffic handling work. So far, it has proven to be the best digital interface I have ever used.

I prefer to use the C-Media sound-chip's PTT function which is available with any of Kevin's
(Masters Communications) DRA units as it is faster, more reliable, and is easier to contrtol
than using VOX to key the transmitter.

Fldigi has that funtion built into it, but it is apparently, only available to users of Linux.

I have two computers here which can dual-boot either Win10, or FreeBSD ver 14.1. I much
prefer to use FreeBSD over Win10 or any of the many distros of Linux.

However, although I have "translated" the UDEV setup, listed in the PTT setup of Fldigi which
is required for Linux to the correct settings of the UDEV-equivalent in FreeBSD (DEVD), I
cannot get the C-Media PTT to work. My only solution to that issue here is to activate keying
by VOX in the DRA unit when using FreeBSD. Although VOX can be acrivated in the DRA
unit by moving one jumper, I am concerned that doing so will affect the use of PTT keying via
the C-Media chip in Win10.

So, my question to Dave and to anyone else here, what, exactly, are the commands in Fldigi
which activate the C-Media chip's PTT function in Linux? I am hoping that by learning this, I
MAY be able to "translate" those commands to FreeBSD.

vy 73,

Ken W7EKB

I wonder how fldigi get the local time and offset from Z?
I looked in the manual, and didna find it.
I expected it more or less to be specified in the Operator Station dialog.
While I was browsing the manual, I found a date mm/dd/yyyy used as an example of ISO8601 format, and I didn't think that was correct.
I also tried %z (lc z) as an option, and it returned the same thing that %Z did.

In FLDigi's N3FJP setup do you have "PTT via <RIGTX> and <RIGRX> checked?

I have a TS-590A here and it works just fine.? I see the RIGTX and RIGRX commands in FLDigi's data stream.

Works great now. Thanks a lot for the tip.

Dave

Hi Dave,

?

It could be that RSID is set only to detect RSID signals only between the dotted lines a not the entire waterfall bandwidth. As a result you may have noticed RSID wasn’t triggering as often.?

?

If you right hand click the RSID button at the top right of Fldigi, an option to toggle the behaviour will appear and with that, the extra cursors removed. At the same time the color of the RSID button will change between green and red depending on your selection.?

I hope that helps!

One little minor change I would like to change. my cursor over the incoming signal has 2 dotted lines every next the the signal on the waterfall. How do I get rid of the lines?

Thanks Dave

Thanks for the reply Graeme. I would have never thought to look at that setting let a lone finding it. Everything is back to normal.

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks Dave

Perhaps the UI setting shown in the message linked below will allow you to revert it. On mine, the default was “gtk +”
