International CW chars lost in 4.1.09.18
|
It works fine as before in fldigi 4.1.09.05 alpha with chars such as Å Ä Ö.
With 4.1.09.18, sending ABC-ÅÄÖ-DEF results in ABC-pause-DEF, but all chars are written in red in both TX and RX panes. Proper config is shown i Config - Modem - CW - Extended Chars (such as A-umlaut etc). Is there such a change done in later alphas or am I missing something? 73 |

Just want to bump this topic to be sure Dave / developers are aware that CW sending of international chars have been lost in an alpha version between 4.1.09.05 and 4.1.09.18. The latest version today 4.1.09.19 also has the same problem as described above.
But also want to praise fldigi for its many good functions. 73 |

It is a real pity when the world's best program for the digital
modes contains such an incredible lack, when it comes to CW. When I
try to write the word BEER in Swedish it is just 2 simple
characters:

---. and .-.. making the important Swedish word ÖL, double easier than the UK/US way (4 chars). This is not possible any more. Dave, please help our suffering people to regain this important beverage. 73 de Peter SM6KFY ;-) Den 2020-02-15 kl. 23:24, skrev Poul K:

fldigi has over 487,000 lines of C++ source code. Adding new functionality and maintaining existing code is rather like this child's toy that my son's enjoyed some 60 years ago: Hammer down a dowel (add a feature / fix a bug) and another unexpected feature (bug) raises it's head. Thanks for the report. It is not possible for me to easily test Norse language CW features with my US keyboard. A local Huntsville brewery produces a product call Monkeynaut,
India Pale Ale, "Southern born, southern brewed". Exporting to
Sweden might be costly. 73, David, W1HKJ On 2/16/20 12:49 AM, Peter Hulthe

What's the old saying Dave, about some of them all the time, some of them none at a time but all of them... all of the time? well, now there's a different story. Wonderful product, and world class support. Rave on.

Thank you Dave,

Your pedagogical example is very expressive and tells us how it may feel to meet all these orders from us spoiled hams from all over the world, demanding one funny thing after another. I remember the nice toy and also the time when I worked as a programmer some 40 years ago. Some programs got bigger and bigger until it was impossible to use them. Just to start over then and use JSP, Jackson Structured Programming and other advice from Nathan Winer's textbooks. I got saved when the "protected mode" came with W-95 and my "dos" programs one by one got obsolete. What a relief... We Europeans can well live without our special signs in CW, but don't forget, we had them until a new alpha swept them away before our noses. Please put them again on the list if it is not already full-written, but you are of course forgiven if we don't get them back. And why use CW when we have got THOR11, the best there is? Will ask for "Monkeynaut" next time I visit my "Systembolaget" shop, the Swedish state alcohol monopoly store chain. If they don't get it I will buy some other IPA or APA (the latter sounds funny in Swedish). Again a giant Thanks for the ham program I like best!

Poul, I've trying to test the Norse CW character transmission, but need a little help. Are you using CW in AFCW mode, or perhaps Winkeyer etal? David On 2/15/20 4:24 PM, Poul K wrote:

CW DTR.
I have sent you a detailed mail with tests on fldigi 4.1.09.20. 73 |

Dave, my mail got blocked by the prodigy.net server. Here are some details instead:
I use CW DTR keying to IC-7300 in CW mode on a regular basis now, with fldigi 4.1.09.05.
I have tested CW with fldigi 4.1.09.20 with the string ABC-ÅÄÖ-DEF in fldigi CW mode:
CW DTR: ABC- (silence from 7300) –DEF
Result: Swedish chars did not key the rig with DTR but were showed red in both RX and TX panes, but transmission went on with the rest. AFCW: ABC-ÅÄÖ-DEF (works fine)
WinKeyer dongle: ABC- (stops there and 7300 is set to receive).
WinKeyer works fine with “normal chars”.
I also seem to lose the keyboard to the TX pane, and have to exit fldigi.BTW, WinKeyer can only handle Å Ä Ö as "prosigns", like Å = M(AK) in WKdemo winkeyer test program Ä = M(AA), Ö = M(OE)
(aren't we funny over here ;-) 73 and thanks Dave |
