A critical error has been discovered in flrig 1.3.52.  It will cause a segmentation fault which closes the program.  This fault only occurs if you attempt to change fonts from the memory dialog:



DO NOT press the "Font" button.

A fix has been created and will be included in a follow up release of flrig 1.3.53.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello Ole,

No hurry. Ha yes NOCAL, what to set the default callsign to so that the application does not crash at first run :)

Ole, have you tried the latest test application (V1.3.12RC1) as referenced in my previous message?

Version 1.3.52

  Documentation Update

  FT450/D
    * fix mic gain control for FT450 and FT450D
      - transceiver only returns 3 levels for mic gain.

  FT991A
    * add band selection

  24 user buttons
    * Increase number of user defined buttons to 24

  fonts
    * fix slow start caused by font fixed/proportional enumeration
      - fixed point evaluator moved to separate thread during first
        instantiation of Font_Browser class.  Actual time to enumerate
        2650 fonts on an i5 3.2 GHz system is approximately 25
        seconds.  Background process does not effect UI, but selection
        of fixed fonts in font browser dialog may not show all of the
        fixed fonts until the evaluator thread exits.

  i7
    * code changes specific to i7 processor

  Memory Bank
    * Correct/add memory bank read/write for the following transceivers
      - 7100
      - Xiegu-G90

  Memory leaks
    * fix memory leaks in xmlrpc interface code
    * fix memory leaks in xcvr_setup code

  FT736R
    * Correct mode select cat string

  UI wide resize
    * save and restore width of UI wide

  Extras Dialog
    * code clean up
    * allow user to resize horizontal dimension
    * always open beneath, aligned and adjacent to the main dialog

  IC-705
    * Add Icom 705 transceiver
      - based on IC7300
      - added DV mode to mode select

  gpio PTT
    * add Pi gpio PTT capability

      wrong image after change of bands / tune

  IC7000
    * Add bandwidth table.
    * Remove reference to 746Pro in class methods

  Xiegu G90
    * Added G90 transceiver backend
      - modeled after Icom 7100

  FreqControl Update
    * Simplify frequency control widget

  regex lib
    * remove -lregex from build

    * remove all references to clock_gettime

  PTT polling
    * add PTT to polling controls
      - disable PTT polling by setting control to zero

  FT891
    * add get_trace statement to get_ptt method

Hi John,

Apologies for tardy reply.  I compared the above with a test message I sent to myself and the headers and footer are samey-same with variation for time of sending etc. .  I have "NOCAL" for call sign.  Now I know what that stands for.  It'd been a puzzle wondering why Northern California, e.g. NOCAL was being referenced....:)

OK David.

I plan to transmit the MFSK Wide modes this weekend on Shortwave Radiogram.

In the meantime, the audio for the experiment is here ...

https://swradiogram.net/post/633261475902947329/this-9-minute-25-second-mp3-file-includes-a-news

This 9 minute, 25 second mp3 file includes a news story about volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io.

The text is is divided roughly equally (by number of characters) into four parts:

MFSK32 3:11

MFSK32WIDE 2:54

MFSK64WIDE 1:48

MFSK64 1:33



| UTC Day | UTC Time | Frequency | Transmitter |

| Thursday | 2330-2400 UTC | 9265 kHz | WINB Pennsylvania |
| Friday | 1300-1330 UTC | 15770 kHz | WRMI Florida |

Kim,

Be sure to notify your listener audience if you decide to include the MFSK wide modes in an HF/AM broadcast.  Those mode are only in 4.1.15.05 and higher.  These are experimental modes and may or may not be a permanent part of the fldigi modem suite.  Your broadcast results will be invaluable to the developer, John KF4YFD.

David

Fldigi 4.1.15.05 works fine on my W10 machine.

I do have a question though. This has been going on for many versions for me. When I put a call in the call box and I click on the QRZ globe, it brings me to the QRZ.com site and populates the calls information. It will not fill in the rest of the boxes on the program, qth, op, st, L or azmith. As I said QRZ works fine. when I click on the notetab, I get a QRZ error: username/ password required. I have tried many things but I haven't got that to work again.

Found my way to Window Defender Exclusions (never had to use it before), and now 4.1.15.05 is installed, and it opens.

Looking forward to trying the MFSK Wide modes.

Thanks Dave.

Kim,

I just downloaded and tested 4.1.15.05 on a Dell Latitude Notebook, Windows 10 Professional, 64 bit.  Windows Defender did require specific download and install execution permission (as usual).  The Windows firewall required permission for access to local host socket services.  Shut fldigi 4.1.15.05 down and restarted ... restart is much faster than 4.1.15.

Please try deleting, repeat the download and execution.

Dave

Neil, W0NRP,

I may be answering the wrong question but this has been my experience with HF sound card and VHF sound card settings using a signalink.

On HF you put the radio power on 100 % and adjust the power level with the signalink TX pot. You can adjust it down to 1 or 2 watts. I usually set mine to about 25 to 35 watts depending on the band and conditions.

While observing the waterfall on FLdigi, adjust the RX pot until you have about 50% yellow and 50% blue. This will bring out the weak signals but not too weak.

For VHF you can hit the tune button in the program and listen on your HT. Adjust theTX volume up until it is distorted then adjust it down until it is undistorted.

This also works for VHF using other sound card modes.

73,

Steve / W8TER

Dave,

On my Windows 10 PC, I am unable to execute fldigi-4.1.15.05_setup.exe

Fldigi-4.1.15_setup.exe opens OK.

Thanks

Ok, got AndFlmsg up and running again.  For what it is worth, it took adding the "FTP plug in" to "Total Commander," the phone's file manager. The Google file manager seemed stymied.  Why this worked, don't know.  But was able to reopen the latest AndFlmsg version and get it going.  Hope info useful, 73, KI7MBR Ole

Addendum; tested an older 6" Samsung tablet:  AndFlmsg opened and the tablet connected to Windows 10 with no problem.  Thus wondering whether something is askew with Android 10.  After the update from A9 to A10, the phone has been acting contrary  in other ways.

The update, if of interest, was from Android 9 to Android 10. 

Hi John,

Whatever the Android OS update yesterday did to my phone appears to have blocked; 

• AndFlmsg settings for location (thus not allowing the app to open),
• connecting to the desktop to reload AndFlmsg and
• not allowing either of two file managers to show downloaded files (I delted AndFlmsg and downloaded latest version directly into phone) 

Rats.

Thus the best I can do re the image in the preceding message is to say that the header and footer sure look similar to what appeared on my phone. Apologies.....

73 Ki7MBR Ole

Hi John,

Apologies for the late reply.  The above looks familiar.  However, my phone updated its Android operating system and a number of things now do not work, including AndFlmsg.  The phone refuses to take the location permission.  I just deleted the app, will reload and report.  Might be another day or two.

73, Ole
