Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X v1.7.0-rc3

If you operate split mode you don't need to do that.  Any problems you have 
would more likely be on transmit rather than receive.If you are receiving them 
at that offset why change?  You likely won't get any better signal on a lower 
offset...it's all about SNR on receive.  And signal+noise rolls off at the same 
rate...so same SNR.On transmit however if you're rig is rolling off at 2800 you 
could lose output power...not a good thing.Split solves the transmit problem by 
moving adjusting your rig frequency so your transmit is in the 1500-2000Hz 
range.  Helps keep your signal clean too.

Morning all. Just love this program and the JT modes. Here is a request for 
future versions. 

When operating in the JT9+JT65 mode, suppose I respond to a JT9 CQ at 2800 on 
the waterfall, setting the cursor there. Because this frequency is right at the 
edge for my sound card, I decide to switch to the JT9 mode for better signal. 
In an early version of 1.7 devel, the cursor would go to 800 on the waterfall, 
requiring no additional frequency adjustment. Vice versa when returning back to 
JT9+JT65 mode. In subsequent RCs, this functionality is no longer there. When 
switching from JT9+JT65 to JT9, the cursor goes to 200. When switching back to 
the dual mode, the cursor goes to 4800+ previous freq. Is it possible to 
restore this functionality or is it still there and I need to change a setting? 
I hope I explained this so others can understand. If not, I'll try to clarify. 

Again, thanks to the developers and coders for creating and improving this 
program!

In JT9+JT65 mode the text window on the right-hand side displays 
received messages at the selected Rx frequency.  Your screen shot shows 
your Rx (and Tx) frequency set at 553 Hz.  The signal from NF3R is at 
1165 Hz.  Decodes of his signal therefore appear in your left ("Band 
Activity" window but not in your right ("Rx frequency") window.

[wsjt-devel] wsjt-x 1.7.0-rc2 anomaly - additional info

2016-12-07 Thread John
I forgot to give the operating conditions at the computer.

The computer is an Intel Atom 330 based desktop at 1.6GHz with 2GB of ram.

I am running Debian 8 jessie on it.

The radio is an IC-7300 and uses USB to connect to the computer for CAT 
and audio.

At the time of the anomaly, I was running a couple of Windows apps under 
Wine. Neither of them interacted with wsjt-x or AlarmeJT.

wsjt-x was not using hamlib to control the radio.

73,

John W4JKL

Re: [wsjt-devel] problem compiling 1.7.0 rc 3 on ARM

2016-12-07 Thread Richard Bown
Hi

PROGRESS 
its not deleting the ~/jtsdk/wsjtx/gar/  that allows the build

its purging QT5 then re-installing libqt5serialport5-dev, qtmultimedia5-dev
the dependencies for those load everything else on Ubuntu 16.04

purging :  sudo apt-get purge libqt5*  & sudo apt-get purge qt5*

It would suggest that regular updating , ( apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ) 
over a period of
time breaks actual dependencies 
I can at the moment rebuild multiple times , just with the clean option set , 
without altering the
contents of ~/jtsdk/wsjtx/gar/
100% PITA

2016-12-07 Thread Richard Bown
Hi Greg
I dont doubt the rc3 builds are OK, I downloaded your build for armhf this 
morning and it runs.

All I get reported on startup is unable to initialise openGLfor 
RasterGLSurface, reverting to
RasterSurface
and buffer under runs.
Back to my attempts to build on the beast from Korea
It differs from the Raspbery Pi and clones with the hardware and
the drivers are propriety , and I suspect this is where the problem lie.
On the two errors on the build its throwing up 10+ opengl errors like

/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/QtGui/qopenglfunctions.h:2138:5: 
error:‘::glVertexAttribPointer’ has not been declared 
::glVertexAttribPointer(indx, size, type,
normalized, stride, ptr);
Always where a ::glVertexAttribxx’ has not been declared 
this I've not seen before this round of trying to build rc3
I would like to find the cause of this.
I've gone past any of the thing which allowed to build previously as the build 
directory
jtsdk/wsjtx/ is deleted so each build is clean.

I'd be interested if anyone else has had problems with Hardkernel products 
(odroid ) C1+ or XU4
Maybe time to find another computer for the shack
