Leif, and all --
Cockpit error, as they say. My old mind was indeed befuddled --
and I forgot that direct access to hardware -- in this case, the
parallel port -- requires root privileges. Once I became root,
all was well.

Hi Leif,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am using a somewhat older Linrad version,
02.20. It is the one I was using last November, and I thought to bring
things up as they were working before, and then upgrade my Linrad
version when all is well.
It appears that I may have lost communication between the parallel port
and the WSE converters. I will look further into that possibility ...

Hello Joe,
Maybe your Linrad version is very old? The current version
is 02-34.
The freq control box was originaly intended for controlling
the frequency of the hardware. The standard package
supports the WSE units and the SDR-14 and users with other
hardwares were supposed to add their own users_hwaredriver
to set the frequency of other hardwares. With this intended
usage, the frequency control box was only displayed when
there was some hardware present (and properly set-up)
The frequency control box will not only affect the hardware, it will
also change the frequency scales, and someone asked me
to allow it always. Therefore it should be present always
in recent versions.
If you use Linux you have to set the parallel port to whatever value
your computer uses (PC COM1 is usually 888) and if you
do not, the freq control box would not appear in old Linrad
versions.
In case the freq control box does not re-appear when you
make a test with Linrad-02.34 there is something unexpected
going on and if it happens, please pack all par* files and
send them to me. There might be something that I do no longer
remember.....
The box should always be there:-)

Having finished the building of a new 4 x 14 xpol EME antenna, I have
now turned to completing the task of reconfiguring my station.
After 6 months of not using Linrad, my old brain seems befuddled.
The box that one clicks to increase/decrease frequency by 25 kHz
steps -- it controls the crystal oscillators in the WSE converters --
has disappeared from my Linrad screen. What have I mistakenly done,
when re-connecting and restarting things, to make this box
disappear? How do I get it back? Can anyone shed some light on this
for me?
