Hi Simon! First of all my compliments on a fine piece of software. Good work. I'm sure that all the Amateur Radio community who works digi modes is gratefull.

RE: [digitalradio] Re: Digital Master 780
Actually all 3 of the ones in the waterfall . My thing is when I run this on my laptop I need to make use of the most screen real estate I can. I can switch modes from the top of the QSO window so the Mode bar can hide. I can switch the rig and the frequency displayed will follow so the fav's bar can hide. And once I have the waterfall set the way I want it I wouldn't need to see the display control bar. And with them gone I gain just that bit more space when I shrink the whole things down so my other apps all fit on the same screen I absolutely love the fly-out tabs.

Implemented via the popup window in the Waterfall. Look at the Full Screen option in the View menu as well.

Simon, If you can work with an easy text-based protocol (I.e., not DCOM or Java RMI) then I will endeavor to write a server side for it on Linux. Leigh/WA5ZNU
Re: [digitalradio] Re: Digital Master 780
To be honest you're best off getting a second-hand computer for DM780. I have a laptop coming with WinXP for such occasions. I also need it for some of our children's learning programs. It will just not be allowed direct access to the internet. Let's assume I wrote it in Java - I've still got the problem of soundcard interfacing (not an enormous issue), packaging it up, testing every change I make. Life's too short for this, it's a hobby. Understood. Anyway, as a Linux user you have fldigi, a fine program. Simon Brown, HB9DRV I have it, just wanted to join in the excitement of your new program! :-) -- Thanks! 73, doc, KD4E Projects: ham-macguyver.bibleseven.com Personal: bibleseven.com/kd4e.html
Re: [digitalradio] Re: Digital Master 780
What is the likelihood it would run under Linux using the WINE interface? Is there too much that relies upon elements of proprietary MS design or is it fairly generic -- if it runs under Win98, Win2000, and WinXP I am guessing it is pretty generic and may run under WINE. In the bigger picture I have observed that Java is often used for cross-platform compatibility and TCL/TK to make things really small. Not sure what other tools are most suited to cross-platform development. Sure wish I had the skills to develop this sort of stuff! Thanks for creating it!

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Digital Master 780
Hi! It looks great! It works great! Today I made a pause on my sabatic leave on amateur Radio to try DM780. Made a few QSO's and I think it does what it says. The adition of modes as the time passes will make it a piece of software to keep an eye on. We will learn to work without the niceties we have on other programs, namely MIXW, it is all a matter of getting used to it. Meanwhile other opinions are welcome. Regards On 4/3/07, Peter G.

On my computer I had to press control and left click for it to drag. Works FANTASTIC!! Except for spending 15 minutes or so screwing around with that, the setup is very intuitive and after a couple of QSOs the interface quickly becomes second nature.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Digital Master 780
- Original Message - From: Peter G. Viscarola [EMAIL PROTECTED] New modes will come for DM780, so I'm not too concerned about that. I have to start somewhere, so decided on PSK/QPSK 31/63/125 as this is by far the most popular mode. I decided to get the UI sorted out first rather than end up with a rat's nest of code. New modes are to be based on the fldigi source (with permission). Plan is to start by the end of April, got to get the satellite antennas sorted out, VISTA soundcard interface implemented and tidy up a few loose ends. Would eventually like to be able to decode the digital modes used on satellites. Long-term aim - anything users ask for (except Linux / Mac OS). Simon HB9DRV
