I want to run JTDX on a raspberry pi 4. 

What software would you recommend for audio interfacing. 

Any other tips and recommendations welcome. Need the thing up and running before Thursday.

I have the Sabrent sound card now, but still no result receiving.

Igor any tips to get it working?

Hello sir, I have had a heck of a time Getting WSJT-X 2.1 to work on Linux or Rashberry PI, because of course it only gives you version 1.0 with the synatic package manager. I have downloaded the proper files form WSJT-X Website and it always has some file that isn't New enough or to new for it not work.

I would love to know how in the world you got JTDX installed on your PI with no problems. That would make my week over here lol. I am hoping you are having luck getting the interface work by now. Thank you sir in advance.

Follow along and just use the script for WSJTX, the issue for you is all the dependencies you are missing.

Anyhow take a look at his vids and you'll find lots of stuff for just the Pi.

Well, William,

You have proved thus far the radio is working,

You have proved that your sound card is working fine,

You have proved that WSJTX is working.

I would suggest seeing if your JTDX is working through the exact same setup but without connecting to the radio.

If the software connects all is good.

If not the answer may lay with your soundcard with THAT particular software. Very often different softwares call different drivers.

Assuming you can connect, then try the setup with a seperate receiver tuned to your Freq USB and see if you can decode anything.

If so, then maybe the crystals you have are the wrong frequency for that mode or there is no activity.

Or, your frequency may need pulling a little with the help of a small trimmer cap.

Hi

I am unable to make JTDX OPERATIONAL on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ running Buster. 

As soon as I run it with identical settings I use with FlRig and WSJTx “HamLib” fails immediately and FlRig will not connect to my Ft817.

Closing JTDX and leaving the Hardware settings and cabling alone I re-launch; WSJTx and FlRig, both applications “connect” and WSJTx starts receiving FT8 incoming signals perfectly.

Nothing works with the 40 meter Crkits Transceiver. 

Raspberry Pi 3B+

The Software Installed as provided in “Build A Script” via KM4ACK all functional.

Crkits Development 

I think if Crkits worked with the Developers of FlRig & WSJTx and tested that little radio it would work correctly! Crkits should also include a “step by step” process for configuration of the 20 & 40 Meter Transceivers. No more of the hit and miss attempts. 

Conclusion

Stick with FlRig & WSJTx. (I provided photos how mine is connected).

For a $30 Dollar US it must be plug and play!

Mine was shipped assembled.

Hi Bill,

That's a shame, I understand how frustrating it can be sometimes when things don't play ball.

This DSB digital circuit is pretty standard fare for this cheaper end of the scale and usually works first time, there's not much to go wrong really unless there are mistakes or maybe a faulty component. The upside is the size, Adam has done a good job with the design but I think I could have minimised it by half 😉

So, I would give it a breather and take another look at it in a few weeks. Fresh eyes see many errors and we're all guilty of that when we pick up something we thought we'd done a great job on.

But as you say, you've had it working on FT8 so I really can't think what the issue could be other than software, because all this is at the end of the day is a little qrp txrx there's not much to go wrong.

D4D is a standard audio in and audio out VOX driven device. There is not too much trick there. Sorry but I cannot promise compatibility with all other software and hardware. Here I have added configuration information for Raspberry Pi 3B which I have on hand. I only tested WSJT-x with SoundBlaster Play! 3 which is recommended in my manual.

Guys,

It is not a plug and play easy job to connect the whole system and get it working properly. I have a Master degree in Computer Science and I still need help from fellow hams to figure out all the configuration issues.

I wish to explain a bit more in detail while I was testing multiple USB sound cards on Raspberry Pi 3B.

Some low cost sound cards are not working properly, because it has low microphone gain, which will cause audio input too low and noisy, and it has low headphone output power as well, which is not enough to trigger VOX. If you read the manual, D4D needs 600mV RMS and it is higher than the max level of some sound cards.

I have tested Creative SoundBlaster Play! 3 and another one which I am selling along as an option. Both are good.

Thanks,

Adam
