[linrad] Re: Got Them EME Window / call3.txt Blues Again

[Joe Taylor]

Roger --

My guess is that you may simply need to change the call3.txt 
file from DOS format to *nix format, i.e.,

C:> dos2unix call3.txt

You can do the conversion in Linux, if your Windows 
installation does not have the "dos2unix" utility.

This is only a guess ...

See you at MUD (Microwave Update) tomorrow!

Hello, All,

I am trying to set up the EME Window on Linrad for Windows and having 
difficulty.

I have re-discovered the following:

1.  Linrad wants the emedirectory to be C:\emedir, NOT \home\emedir or 
C:\home\emedir as in Linux [not documented that I can see].

2.  dir.skd is no longer available on the net.  At least I couldn't find 
it.  Even af9y's links for it are broken.

3.  If call3.txt is either copied from a wsjt download or downloaded from
http://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/tracker.htm and placed in the emedir, 
Linrad rejects it with the error:

[1230]routine:init_eme_database  file:eme.c Failed to read CALL3.TXT  
Excessive line length or field too long.

4.  The reference page
http://www.sm5bsz.com/linuxdsp/run/emewin.htm
makes no mention of the fact that linrad may potentially use call3.txt, 
but only mentions the now essentially defunct dir.skd, eme.dta, and 
allcalls.dta files.  I thought I remembered that as a result of a 
previous posting linrad would work with call3.txt, but was stymied by #4 
above.

I am very suspicious that all of this is old information and that I am 
having a major deja vu experience, but figured I would send this to the 
list after Google failed to give me what I need ;)

All of this came about as I was preparing to give a lecture and 'how to' 
session on Linrad tomorrow.  I guess I'll skip the eme window, at least 
from Windows ;)

[Yes I have everything working from Linux including the EME Window]

73,
