Re: [wsjt-devel] [FT8-Digital-Mode] WSJT-X V2.31 Issues

[Alan VK2ZIW via wsjt-devel]

Hi all,

Several ( many) years back I had the same symptoms with WSPR in that it failed 
after a few days

and lasted longer running on machines with more memory.

The problem was, not freeing up Virtual Memory after a decode cycle.

On Windows systems, the problem did not surface, only on Linux. This was 
Windows XP at the time as I recall.

Perhaps with later versions of Windows (10 etc.), the Virtual Memory system has 
changed.

So, can you check the program's memory usage, both real and virtual?

At the time I had to convince the developer, Virtual Memory is not limitless.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Yaesu FT-847

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

Why do you need CAT control at all?

What's really needed is a rig with Stability.

Any rig with a digital VFO will do.

My 2c.

Yes, I have an FT-840 and it's OK.

Re: [wsjt-devel] fyi ubuntu 18.04LTS

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Mike and all,

I've often added a symbolic link in the /lib or the /usr/lib directories
from a later library to, the one needed.
In Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, we have libreadline5 and libreadline7 but not
libreadline6.
eg.
cd /lib; ln -s libreadline.so.7.1 libreadline.so.6

Then refresh the library cache if needed. ldconfig

This often fixes a running program's issues but on installation, the
Package Manager may require an entry in the package database. Unpack the
.deb file with "ar x .deb" then unpack the main archive and install
the files manually.

Have fun.

[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X r6659 build on Fedora 21 x86_64

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

Building WSJT-X I had a few probs with:
hamlib  rig_set_split_freq_mode

Fedora 21 has hamlib 3.0.3, that doesn't include function
rig_set_split_freq_mode and RIG_PASSBAND_NOCHANGE

Actually, I don't use rig control other than PTT with DTR
a legacy from early WSJT and all sorts of issues with an IC-910H
with the 23cm band module.

Another silly, at link of wsjtx, "ld" reports no "-ludev".
so I linked /lib64/libudev.so.1.6.1 to libudev.so all fixed.

Anyway, WSJT-X r6659 works.

Hi Greg,


ARMv7 device

Yes you do. Here in Australia.

At "club.bmarc.org" yes, the ADSL fails sometimes.
Here at my home, it's been running 24x7 for perhaps 2 years now.

Re: [wsjt-devel] wsjtx 1.7.0 r6346 Hangs....

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,
RFI into USB

I've not had any problems with USB as Audio device.
My radios are 3m away from the USB interface, shack is a
tin (colourbond) shed, antenna on top.
Little chance of RFI.

WSJT, WSPR, WSJT-X always reliable.

[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X feature for WSPR

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

Is there a way, for WSPR, to not submit spots for local stations?
A text file with a simple list of "ignore".

Or, am I missing something?

[wsjt-devel] nameservers for svn.code.sf.net down Dec 7 2015

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

I wemt to download the code today with SVN:
svn  co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt

and  "svn.code.sf.net" is not known. Their nameserver is down and all
the caches have been 'thrown away'.

I added this to my "/etc/hosts" file and I downloaded fine (and fast).

216.34.181.157        svn.code.sf.net

Internet blues.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Compile Error WSPR @PYTHON@ not found. UPDATE.

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Bill,

What about MIPS?

MIPS is the CPU in most ADSL routers and we all reload them with
OpenWRT.

Some heve one or two USB ports om which one can put a USB disk, or
just use NFS.

But, is it worth it with a Banana Pi clone such as the Orange Pi
being so cheap, and has a SATA port!!

[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X r5995 Successful compile on Fedora 21/ARM

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,
Compile on Fedore 21 ARM on Banana Pi with 1TB SATA disk as / fine.

Ony silly here, WSJT-X r5995 takes an age to start. I change
the audio input to "vac1.monitor" from:
Add the following lines to /etc/pulse/default.pa and restart pulse:
load-module module-null-sink sink_name=vac1
sink_properties=device.description=Vac1

-- as one line - and restart pulseaudio 

Now, WSJT-X starts quickly and the audio input can then be changed to my
Behringer UCA202 Burr-Brown USB sound device.

I used wsjtx 1.5.0 to change the audio settings to "vac1".

[wsjt-devel] FSK315 testing, downunder, Australia

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

Brisbane to Sydney and Melbourne, about 600Km paths.

Meteors about every two minutes, mostly 1/2 sec, some 2 secs.

Successful QSOs Sydney to Brisbane using WSJT, mode FSK315
(WSJT10 r5755 on Linux here)

We tried to use mode JTMSK, but the Windows WSJT-X crashed.
My WSJT-X v1.6.1 on Linux ran fine.

Back to FSK441 where we suspect, on short pings, is better.

[wsjt-devel] WSJTX_EXP r5853 won't transmit, Rig=None, DTR

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi,
 

Fedora 21 x86_64, code downloaded from SVN and 
compiled.
 


 

WSJT-X v1.6.0-devel r5825  works fine. I use DTR for PTT. 
Rig=None
 


 

With the exact same config, same 
machine:
 


 

WSJT-X v1.6.1-devel r5853 will not transmit or in Test 
PTT
 


 

If I set the rig to Yaesu FT-450, but my CAT control cable is 
out,
 

I get a hamlib error and [Test PTT] is greyed 
out.
 


 

In short, Rig=None is broken, PTT 
Method=PTT is ignored.
 

In Setup, once selected, [Test PTT] sets PTT on 
continuously.
 


 
I gave up on CAT control and built an interface box, audio and PTT from DTR or RTS.
to be able to use many applications that didn't have CAT.

With my IC-910H which has three bands, but only two, one as main, another as secondary,
the CAT commands via the CI-V interface, could never get it right.

[wsjt-devel] WSJTX_EXP r5853 won't transmit, Fixed in r5876

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Thanks,

Now fixed in r5876 BUT:

If I select a radio eg. Icon IC-746PRO, under the PTT Method, CAT is selectable 
as is DTR,
but [Test PTT] is greyed out, and I cannot transmit using the selected PTT 
Method, DTR.

This is needed for my IC-910H. Quite a popular radio as it does 23cm. (with the 
23cm module)

Keep Smiling

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X 1.6.1-devel r5834, Tx in JTMSK

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Joe,

I've done some more testing:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64   does the same thing:

On startup in JTMSK mode, the blue bar starts at 0/32626.
When one selects mode to, say ISCAT, the blue bar shows 0/30.
Select mode JTMSK and the blue bar has 0/5.

Also, There is nothing in FrequencyList.cpp for modes ISCAT and JTMSK.
And, few for JT4.


Downloading from SVN:
I always create a new directory and do a complete wsjtx_exp download:
svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx_exp

# cd wsjtx_exp; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ../ 
# edit CMakeCache.txt change INSTALL ; make install
# get both kvasd and kvasd_md5
INSTALL to /home/data/apps/wsjtx161

Run from script /usr/local/bin/wsjtx_exp
:
cd ~/wsjtx
WXDIST=/home/data/apps/wsjtx161
PATH=$WXDIST/bin:$PATH
export PATH
$WXDIST/bin/wsjtx


Thanks Joe

[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X 1.6.1-devel r5834, Tx in JTMSK

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi,
 


 

WSJT-X 1.6.1-devel r5834, works a treat 
but:
 


 

If I startup in JT9 mode, in JT9 set [Enable Tx] on, all is 
well.
 


 

If I then select mode JTMSK, and set [Enable Tx] on, all is 
well.
 

Problem:


 

Now, if I exit out 

 and re-run wsjt_exp, we come in in JTMSK mode.

I set [Enable Tx] on and it does not transmit.

If I then change mode to JT9 and back to JTMSK, all is well.


System: Fedora 21 x86_64, code from SVN

Audio: Behringer UCA202    PTT: DTR   Radio: None (actually FT-450)

Re: [wsjt-devel] jtmsk segfault on Tx

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

Tx crash, it's not hamlib.

I compiled up wsjtx_exp r5825 and have a similar problem:

Selected mode JTMSK.

Enabled TX, waited to the time period to start, PTT was set ON,
crash.

I use DTR keying, so it's not a hamlib problem.

 Joe - 
 Now trying to TX. The rig is a TS480 keyed using CAT. WSPR mode 
 works fine. The Tune function in jtmsk also seems to work - the TX 
 is keyed up and a tone is emitted - but the tone frequency sounds 
 lower than the selected 1500 Hz. After disabling Tune, I then 
 selected Enable TX (with CQ selected as the message). The 
 transmitter is keyed and the program segfaults, leaving the rig 
 keyed. I re-compiled with all Debugging enabled. The trace does not 
 show anything obviously wrong. The last few lines in the trace are

Re: [wsjt-devel] Rigblaster compability issue with wsjt (alsa-driver/libjack)

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Håken,

The Ubuntu WSJT package is ancient. We are on WSJT 10 r5755 now.

99% of useres here are running on Windows, so the Linux community
here download the source code and compile it themselves so as
to use the latest.

There are so many Linux flavours, just look on www.distrowatch.com.

I suggest, don't look for a pre-compiled package. Period.

Since you are running Linux, the Development System is free, so
download all the required packages, and the source code and
compile it yourself. Put your system online and ask for somebody
to login and set it up for you, this is another option.

Your Rigblaster will work.

 More info is in the link:
 
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wsjt/+bug/1488906
 The problem is, according to the folks at the #linuxmint-chat ,-
 Linux mint and jack audio server does not play along nice, and wsjt
 needs libjack-jackd2-0.
 Fldigi uses portaudio,and works fine with that.
 The newest wsjt-x also works, the older version 1.1 also had problems
 relating to the sample rate.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Fw: sending RR73 message on JT9H voice from Downunder

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

We must ALWAYS send the sending callsign. Period.

Downunder, we replace the   (space) with a / between the receiving callsign 
and the report eg.

VK3AMZ/26 VK2ZIW 26

So, onlookers can figure out, in garbled MS messages, who's who.

Does this make sense?

 I do not view it as harsh.  Harsh was when I went off HF JT modes completely
 for well over a year
 because of it.   I am one of about five stations in ND that are on JT HF

 LOTW
 and 12 and 160 meters.    I get on about twice a year to help folks with

 Both the WSJT and WSJTX manual clearly state what is considered a minimal
 QSO
 and I am in complete agreement with it.   A QSO is complete when all of the
 essential elements of if are complete and that includes one station
 receiving an RRR.
 
 If others choose to use a different format that is purely their business
 just as it
 is mine to choose not to accept less than the published minimal contact.
 At one point
 I had a much more lenient policy about that which included sending TX3 a
 second
 time then emailing the station letting them know what the issue was and
 offering a
 retry.   However I was point blank told that I had no right to tell other
 stations what
 to transmit, I capitulated completely and now have a policy where I
 terminate the contact
 immediately upon deviation from the minimal QSO and do not offer a retry.
 The person
 who was doing the complaining called me a crazy old ^%$#$% when I made the
 change
 so it must have been exactly the right thing to do.
 
 As a personal side note I was hoping to make it to 60 before that happened
 but oh well...
 
 I believe if there is going to be an auto sequencer one of its functions
 should be to
 enforce the minimal QSO and not facilitate less than minimal QSOs.   That is
 both
 for integrity of the QSO reasons and because it would be a pain to program
 all of the
 variations that are floating around out there.   The only question mark
 there should
 be for an auto sequencer is how to gracefully shut down the contact.  There
 is a catch 22 in the logic to handle 73's that I believe is handled
 reasonably well in the WSJT
 ISCAT auto sequencer that I hope to move over the WSJTX.
 
 For those users who feel otherwise they can always override the auto
 sequencer and advance
 if they feel the auto sequencer was being too strict.

 Not logging it? That seems a little harsh. The sequencing was correct up to
 that point. He had already received my R-signal report from me and just
 bunched the RR73 into one transmit sequence. All I wanted to do was send the
 73 transmission but for QSO purposes, it was complete at that point. I did
 manually send the 73 sequence and the QSO was logged.

Thanks Joe for fabulous software.

In WSJT, in wsjt.py, can you define idWarn=-1 to stop the error message?

In WsjtMod/options.py can we default, that the sending callsign be always sent?

And, Downunder here, we use / to attach the report to the callsign as in:

VK7XX/26 VK2ZIW 26

VK7XX/R26 VK2ZIW

VK7XX/RRR VK2ZIW

VK7XX/73 VK2ZIW

Such that when a garbled message via MS is received, we can sort it out.

 Several people have asked for an update on development of the Fast 
 modes in WSJT and WSJT-X.  So here's a brief summary.
 
 First, a review of some relevant terms and motivations.  It's 
 convenient to think of the various WSJT protocols (modes) in two groups:
 
 *Slow modes* -- JT4, JT9, JT65, and WSPR.  These modes are designed 
 for communication with extremely weak signals -- often too weak to 
 be heard.   Target propagation modes include EME and long-distance 
 troposcatter on VHF-and-up bands, and QRP Dxing on the LF, MF, and 
 HF  bands.  Relevant signal amplitudes are approximately constant 
 over a minute and more, aside from so-called libration fading for 
 EME.  Transmit/receive sequences are 1 minute for JT4, JT9, and JT65,
  and 2 minutes for WSPR.
 
 *Fast modes* -- JTMS, FSK441, ISCAT, and JT6M -- and now also 
 *FSK315* 
 (implemented in WSJT) and *JT9E* through *JT9H* (implemented in WSJT-
 X).   These modes are made for communication with rapidly varying 
 signals: for example, meteor scatter, ionospheric scatter, airplane 
 scatter, and scatter off the International Space Station.  The 
 decoders are designed take advantage of short enhancements of signal 
 strength.  T/R sequences are 30 seconds (or sometimes even shorter).
 
 Bill, ND0B, has implemented a trial version of FSK315 in WSJT. 
  Think of this mode as FSK441 slowed down to 315 baud; the bandwidth 
 is therefore narrow enough to make the mode legal in the CW and 
 data portion of the 10 meter band.  Bill and a few others have been 
 experimenting with FSK315 and also ISCAT-A on 10 meters, under dead-
 band conditions, using meteors and ionospheric scatter propagation.
 
 I have implemented experimental submodes of the JT9 protocol in the 
 program branch WSJT-X v1.6.1.  As with JT4 and JT65, letters 
 following the JT9 designator indicate increased spacings between 
 the FSK tones.   Traditional JT9 (now also called JT9A) has tone 
 spacing 1.736 Hz, so the signals used at HF and below have total 
 bandwidth 9*1.736 = 15.6 Hz.   The widest of the new submodes, JT9H, 
 has tone spacing 200 Hz and therefore bandwidth 9*200 = 1800 Hz.
 
 When used with the standard 1-minute periods, the wide JT9 submodes 
 should be useful for the same purposes as the wide JT4 submodes: 
 microwave EME, for example, where libration fading can cause Doppler 
 spreading of 100 Hz or more.  Used in this way, all JT9 submodes are 
 slow modes; they use 1-minute T/R periods and keying rate 1.736 
 baud, and they send the full 85-symbol message protocol in 85/1.736 
 = 48.96 s.
 
 Optionally, the wide JT9 submodes can now also use fast keying 
 rates equal to their tone spacing.  Fast JT9H, for example, uses 
 keying rate 200 baud, so the full message protocol is transmitted in 
 85/200 = 0.425 
 s.  The message is sent repeatedly for the full Tx period, in the 
 same way as done for the other fast modes.
 
 The fast JT9 submodes should be very effective for meteors and 
 ionoscatter propagation, especially on the 6 meter band. 
  Sensitivity should be similar to ISCAT, or perhaps slightly better. 
  Because JT9 includes strong forward error correction, decoding 
 results are like those for all the slow modes: you should see 
 messages exactly as they were transmitted, or nothing at all.
 
 Tests of the fast JT9 submodes are currently under way, with 
 excellent results.

  What's wrong with setting the levels in WSJT-X,those settings are saved 
 between sessions?
 
 I have to cut it WAY down and I haven't done any actualanalysis, but the 
 instructions indicate that that's not agood thing. Why amp up your audio in 
 software just toknock it back down in software?  It can't possibly helpthe 
 audio quality.You are right in principle but I would expect the default level 
 tobe 0dB i.e. what comes out of the A/D converter so doing all 
 digitalattenuation in WSJT-X is optimal since it limits any 
 accumulatedquantization error. The same would apply if the WSJT-X level 
 wereleft at 0dB (the middle I believe) and all digital adjustment weredone in 
 the pulseaudio digital domain.
 
 The best solution is to set the analog level at he rig to a bestapproximation 
 and only do fine adjustments per band or to compensatefor AGC variations in 
 the Rx.
 
 
 And either way, it's still just obnoxious on the Qtside. I wonder how many 
 presets PulseAudio has stored fordevice names it will never see again?Agreed 
 that it would be nice to have a way of setting the streamname on Linux, but 
 there is an alternative where, like we do withTx, the stream level can be 
 directly adjusted from the applicationusing the stream 
 (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qaudioinput.html#setVolume).This allows the 
 application to store the level itself. CurrentlyWSJT-X doesn't use this, 
 instead it has its own gain/attenuationstage further downstream in the DSP 
 chain. I believe the built ingain stage is both historical from before we 
 switched to Qt audioand also to provide gain as well as attenuation (gain is 
 notavailable on some platforms).
 
 I expect the availability of adjustment of the stream level via theQt API is 
 the reason why our request to control the stream name hasbeen ignored by the 
 Qt developers.

  Greetings All...

  WSJT-X v1.6.0 devel versions without any issues for many, many months now.
  
  I am fairly confident that I ran WSPR-2 without any segmentation faults 
  with r5700, and earlier versions. I updated to r5716 this morning, and was 
  running JT65 without any issues, and then updated to r5717 this afternoon, 
  and attempt to run WSPR-2, but I get a Segmentation Fault at 59 second 
  mark, and also when just changing modes... from JT65 to WSPR-2.
  
  I start WSJT-X in a terminal via the command line. All I see is 
  Segmentation fault in the terminal. There is no additional details, or 
  information provided.
  
  I can also get a segmentation fault when just changing modes, from JT65 to 
  WSPR-2. When I click WSPR-2 I get a immediate crash, with segmentation 
  fault displayed in the terminal. I have not see this issue in any other 
  WSJT-X devel release.
  
  I do find it a bit odd, that when I do to re-start WSJT-X. The mode is 
  JT65, and I see the Red frequency box with 14.095 600. I would expect 
  that when I restart, I would be in WSPR-2 mode.
  
  I can start WSJT-X in WSPR-2 mode, and I will observe a segmentation fault 
  at second 59 (immediate crash).
  
  So, to clarify my bug report:
  
  #1 I see a WSPR-2 segmentation fault at second 59 (immediate crash at the 
  59 second mark).
  #2 I see a WSPR-2 segmentation fault when just changing modes... from JT65 
  to WSPR-2 (immediate crash when I click WSPR-2 mode, when I was previously 
  running JT65 successfully decoding).
  
  I can run JT65 mode in r5717 without any issues.

Re: [wsjt-devel] RRR bug fixed, WSJT crash on Fedora 21

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Joe and Bill,

I compiled WSJT SVN r5635 on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64 box and
yes, the fast modes JTMS etc do not crash and do not gobble memory.

So, I guess, Fedora 21 uses later Python etc. libraries.

Earlier this year, when Fedora 21 first came out for ARMv7 (Pi and clones)
I did compile up WSJT, but obviously did not adequately test it.
I tested it today and the fast modes crash in the same way as
the Intel architecture.

As I see it, Fedora is THE Red Hat linux flavour.

They (Fedora) put a LOT of work into the ARM platform.
This allows ultra low power apps for balloons etc..

And, of course, remote sites on solar power.

As far as I know, you access to my ARM box here has not changed.
You have GUI via RDP. User: wsjtdev

Re: [wsjt-devel] RRR bug fixed, WSJT crash on Fedora 21

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Greg,

WSPR, yes, is running fine, though, it's memory use (top) is
growing slowly. RES started at 60,000 and after 1/2 hour is up to 111,000.
VIRT is how 787,836, up from the 616,664 at startup.

My issue reported a year ago was this slow growth 'killing' it's use
on small memory systems such as the Banana Pi.

Flying a full PC on a balloon is, out of the question. But, a Pi?

  Hi Alan,
 
  It appears, Fedora 21 is using python3-pillow 2.6.2 according to RPM 
  find. Pillow 2.6.x has been problematic on several distros I've used 
  / tested. The problems seems to be isolated to those using Pillow 
  v2.6.x ( Debian Jessie, Ubuntu 15.04, etc. ). Distro's using earlier 
  or latter versions of Pillow do not exhibit the same problem.
 
  To resolve this on Debian / Ubuntu, I installed the Pillow build 
  dependencies then installed ( compiled ) the latest version of 
  Pillow via Pip3.
 
  FWIW, Here's what I used for Jessie / Utopic:
  * Open a termainl, Ctrl+Alt+T
  * sudo apt-get update
  * sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev liblcms2-dev 
  libtiff5-dev libwebp-dev libwebpmux1 mime-support tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-
  dev zlib1g-dev * sudo pip3 install --upgrade pillow
 
  I'm not entirely sure if the real root cause is Pillow or the 
  combination of Pillow 2.6.x being built against tcl/tk 8.5 or not. 
  But building form Source ( using pip3 ) against tcl/tk-8.6 seems to 
  resolve the horizontal display crashes on Jessie and Utopic.

Hi all,

It all depends on the Mode.

JT65C is OK

JTMS, FSK441 and ISCAT-A   gobble memory.

Can you look at this?

Also in the wsjt.py globals, can you define idWarn eg..
-- Global variables
g2font='Lucida Console  16'
idWarn=None

 Hi all,
 
 My, you've been busy here -- lots of very impressive progress!  Many 
 thanks to all of you contributors to the WSJT-related projects!
 
 [Brief aside: My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 8-day cruise -- 
 Venice to Athens, with stopovers at ports on the Dalmatian coast: 
 Split, Korcula, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Butrint, Corfu, and Delphi; then 
 into the Ionian sea and through the Corinth canal into the Aegean, 
 ending at Piraeus.  Two canceled flights on the way home extended 
 our trip by more than 24 hours, and 2 of our 3 bags are currently 
 lost -- but otherwise all is well.]
 
 Here's a start toward responding to some issues raised in the past 
 two weeks:
 
 1. I've briefly tried the G4WJS r5629-dirty version of WSJT-X -- 
 the one with Bill's suggested changes to the user interface.  They 
 look very good, and I suggest they should be committed to our -devel 
 branch.
 
 2. Our other Bill, ND0B, has made great progress with implementing 
 short-sequence ISCAT capability in WSJT.  Bill has a bunch of 
 enthusiastic testers using it on 6 meters with excellent results.  I 
 haven't tried it yet, but after reading the reports from others it 
 seems that you must be nearing the point of committing the v9 code 
 (or something similar) to the SVN repository.  Is that right?
 
 A related question: Bill has started a Yahoo Group (possibly to 
 changed to a Google Group?) to host discussion among the testers of 
 his experimental version.  No doubt this made good sense in early 
 phases of the effort; there's a downside, however, to moving away 
 from this list some important communication among programmers 
 working on WSJT-related code.  If others have views on this matter,
  please share them here.
 
 3. Related to the above ISCAT developments: Bill (ND0B), do you have 
 a few example *.wav files illustrating the RRS/RRT decoding 
 problem?  If so, could you post them somewhere or send them to me? 
  I'd like to look into the problem.
 
 4. It's hardly surprising that Charlie (G3WDG) and others have found 
 that correlation decodes (in WSJT-X, presently implemented only 
 for JT4) can produce different confidence levels and (rarely) even 
 different message results when run against CALL3.TXT files of very 
 different lengths.  After all, the correlation algorithm is 
 effectively answering these two questions:
 
 A) Which one of the following list of plausible messages best 
 matches the tone sequence of the received signal?
 
 B) Is the best match better than the second-best match by a 
 large enough margin for us to be reasonably certain we have a valid decode?
 
 Obviously, the answers to both questions will depend on the length 
 of the list of plausible messages, which is generated from call+grid 
 combinations derived from CALL3.TXT, augmented by the DX Call and 
 DX Grid entries on the main window.  If the list is short (but 
 still contains the call and grid actually in the message), the 
 chances of a correct decode and the estimated confidence in its 
 validity will be higher than with a long list.
 
 5. I'm delighted to hear that Steve (K9AN) has implemented a WSPR 
 signal subtraction algorithm that works so well!  I haven't looked 
 at the code or tried it yet, but from Steve's report it sounds like 
 we should make wsprd_exp (renamed to wsprd) the default WSPR 
 decoder.  Perhaps we can use the existing Fast / Normal / Deep 
 selection on the Decode menu to control whether subtraction and 
 multi-pass decoding will be used, or not?  I'm not too worried about 
 the longer decoding times: as we have found previously, significant 
 optimizations will likely be possible after we have it working well. 
  Furthermore, fast decoding is arguably of minimal importance in 
 WSPR mode, since no quick operator interactions are required.
 
 6. Signal dropouts in the *.c2 files are a concern -- we'd better 
 find out what's causing them.  An important question to be answered: 
 are the dropouts present in the c2 array in memory, or just in the 
 file as written to disk?
 
 That's probably enough for my first day back on the job...

Hi all,

WSJT compiled on Fedora 20, when run on Fedora 21 fails.
All that is required is to remove libjt.a and do make again.

Remember, we had problems with a Qt library version. Crashes as
soon as a waterfall was drawn. Jan 2015.

All good now.

Both r4895 and r5329 tested.

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT/WSPR Python3-Pillow 2.6.1 Issue

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Greg,

Fedora 21 now cones with: python3-pillow.armv7hl  2.6.2-1.fc21

So, does 2.6.2 work?

I'm not sure as I've upgraded pillow using pip to 2.7.0.
 
/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/Pillow-2.7.0-py3.4.egg-info

Today, I did a yum update and I now have
/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/Pillow-2.6.2-py3.4.egg-info
dated Apr 15 07:20

Today,
wsjt10 runs fine via RDP session, (headless, there is no Mali driver yet)

Back on Jan 15, there was, when the Banana Pi was loaded, pillow 2.6.1.

Keep Smiling

Alan VK2ZIW

 Hello All,
 
 While updating WSJT/WSPR build documentation, I've come full circle 
 on the Python3-Pillow 2.6.1 segfault problem that many have 
 reported. I'm need of assistance in trying to debug / generate a 
 work around, as this has gone well past my level of knowledge with Python.
 
 This issue affects both Windows and *Nix, but seems to be isolated 
 to the Pillow 2.6.1.
 
 THE PROBLEM
 
 When using Pillow 2.6.1, WSPR and WSJT will both segfault, almost
 immediately, either at decode time for WSPR ( sample *.wav file or T=50
 to 55 of the 2min cycle ) or at the end of the first FSK441 cycle (
 first whole minute? ) with WSJT. Neither application present the 
 issue when using Pillow  or  2.6.1 on my test distro's.
 
 TESTING PERFORMED
 
 I've performed several tests with various versions of Pillow, primarily
 on Linux. On my Ubuntu based installs, after installing JTSDK Nix, those
 distros using python3-pil 2.6.1 ( Ubuntu 14.10, Debian Jessie for
 example ) will build correctly but fail as above.
 
 Removing python3-pil and python3-pil.imagetk, installing the required
 build dependencies:
 
 libtiff4-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev
 libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev
 
 then installing ( via pip3 ) Pillow==2.5.3, ==2.7.0 or ==2.8.1 ( the
 latest Pillow release ), neither WSJT nor WSPR present the segfault.
 
 At this point, I would think the import instructions in WSPR.py an
 WSJT.py are OK, but I don't know where or how to take this any further.
 
 Without getting this resolved, we will not be able to update WSJT / WSPR
 in any distro using Pillow 2.6.1 as the default package (Ubuntu 14.10
 and Debian Jessie at present ). I believe there are Fedora based distros
 also using Pillow-2.6.1, but I am not as familiar with their package
 structures, so I cannot say for sure which ones.
 
 Any input or debugging suggestions would be much appreciated.

Re: [wsjt-devel] JTSDK v2.0.0-B2 for Linux Available For Build Testing

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Greg,

Can I be a real pain and ask for Fedora and/or Centos to be included?

Reason: All my systems are remote and will be connected to by RDP. (Microsoft 
mstsc.exe)

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS fails this with Qt: XKEYBOARD not supported by X server.

In particular, because of Low Power needs, Fedora 21 on a headless Banana Pi.

 Hello All,
 
 I've been testing JTSDK on Linux (mainly Ubuntu) for some time now
 (as have opthers) and have finally gotten around to adding a tar.gz
 file for folks to test out. Bare in mind, there is allot of work to do still
 and this should be considered a work in progress, so expect a few
 anomalies at first.
 
 There is a short README and INSTALL.txt file included in the archive. I
 won't spell out the install instructions here, as I'd like to get feedback
 on the INSTALL.txt and process as a whole to see if things need
 fixing / updating / edits or whatever the case may be. Documentation is
 minimal at present, but will eventually land in the WSJT dev-guide when
 appropriate.
 
 Due to package variations between the various Distro versions, there is
 no immediate plan to create distribution files (.deb, .rpm etc) as the
 package management is being dealt with by autotools. This may change as
 the package matures.

Works fine on Fedora 20. Even Fedora 21 on ARM (Banana Pi, headless).

Re: [wsjt-devel] wsjtx on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS via RDP

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Bill,

Yes, I like your lateral thinking but.

Everybody has mstsc.exe. So, can we stick to the standard?

What we remote system builders need is, systems everybody can use:

1) Connect with the 'standard' RDP.
2) Multi-user through the one TCP/IP port.

So if, for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the answer is no, we'll build Fedora systems.

You mentioned, you have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on one of your systems in a
previous email, so have you tried RDP to it?
If so, please answer I have the same error or, it works for me.

Re: [wsjt-devel] New Rasberry Pi 2

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi 
all,
 


 


 The Banana Pi, dual core and 1Gb ram with SATA disk is still a winner.

My 1Tb disk,  NO wear out problems and SPACE, SPACE SPACE.
I even have 10Gb for swap, real swap space.

And of course, loaded with Fedora 21, runs WSJT-X etc.. well.

The only downer is the ARM Consortium MALI 400 graphics,
no open sauce driver. Headless is great, it's over by the radios.

[wsjt-devel] WSPR Crash on ARM, trying Pillow 2.7.0

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

Install of pillow 2.7.0 with pip3 went smoothly, but when
WSPR r4889 is run, it went for 1 1/2 hours and crashed:
mmap() failed: Cannot allocate memory
Expression 'ret' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c line:1735
etc...

So, back to Pillow 2.5.3.

(Should I have re-compiled WSPR?)

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSPR Crash on ARM, was : Re: WSPR crashes, threads understood

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Bill, Greg and Joe,

Threads

More testing, this time on Fedora 21 ARM released Dec 2014.

Kernel: 3.17.4-301.fc21.armv7hl

A user process can do 379 threads that's all.
See the th.c test file below.

Note, I used the word do. Even if they (the threads) terminate cleanly,
the user process can only do 379 of them.

So, WSPR will stop after 379 x 2mins, or about 11 hours.

This is an ARM Linux problem.

Previous email:
Hi Bill, Greg and Joe,
On reading:
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/04/terminate-c-thread/
they use a function call pthread_exit(ret)

Which is not there doing a grep on the WSPR code.

How many threads do we have:
alanb@bananapi:~$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max    13988
x86_64 bash-4.2$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max   59148
But, per process, about 380 on the Banana Pi.
828 on my PC x86_64 Fedora 20

See this C code:
--cut---
#includestdio.h
#includestring.h
#includepthread.h
#includestdlib.h
#includeunistd.h
/* Test how many threads we can do */
// gcc -std=c99 th.c -lpthread

#define MAXT 300

pthread_t thrd[MAXT];
int ret1;

void * thread(void* i)
{
    sleep(1);//make the thread stay alive 1 sec
    ret1 = 0;
    pthread_exit(ret1);
}

int main()
{
    for(int i=0;iMAXT;i++)
    {
    int err=pthread_create(thrd[i],NULL,thread,(void*)i);
    if(err!=0)
    printf( thread creation failed: %d, err );
    }
    printf( threads created MAXT );
    sleep(20);//wait for 1st group to end, then create more
    for(int i=0;iMAXT;i++)
    {
    int err=pthread_create(thrd[i],NULL,thread,(void*)i);
    if(err!=0)
    printf( thread creation failed: %d %d, err,i );
    }
    return 0;
}
-cut---

My ARM problem is, we get to MAX_THREAD_COUNT in about 10 hours.
So, we are not clearing them.
10hrs = 600 mins = 300 2min Rx sessions, processing with 100 threads = 30.000 
threads.
But, the Rx process fails at about the 300 to 400 2min sessions.

My test code uses the function pthread_exit() but it doesn't help.

So, it's a program design issue on the ARM.

So, I tried on the PC, AMD A4-5000, 8gb ram. 828 max simultaneous threads, But 
doing 800
with pthread_exit() call, wait until they finish, we can do another 800.

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSPR SVN 4857 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS autogen.sh

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi 
Greg,
 


 

I've extensively read the INSTALL.txt document from SVN 
4857.
 


 
Line 19

1st. PIL, not being completely open-source, has been replaced by 
Pillow.
 


 
Can you mention, as at SVN 4857 and before, pillow 2.6.1 will cause crashes
whenever a waterfall is drawn? So, revert to the last 'mainline' version 2.5.3.
If your Linux package manager can't achieve this, use Python3's tool pip3.
pip3 install -I pillow==2.5.3
Which will build pillow from source, using all the 'other' libraries around it.

This effects both WSPR and WSJT.

Otherwise, great work.

Issues:
 

  1) Because Ubuntu 14.04LTS has Python 3, and Python 2.7, it picks 
the
 

wrong one for 
F2py.
 

  2) Did not pickup portaudio19-dev not 
installed.

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSPR crashes, error starting rx thread

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi Greg and 

all,
 



 


Can we please focus on the crash  

problem?
 



 


WSPR runs perfectly fine for 10+ hours then 

crashes:
 



 


spawning new thread: Resource temporarily 

unavailable
 


 Error starting rx thread   
 
11
 



 

The pillow issue is resolved. Just 
do:

pip3 install -I 
pillow==2.5.3



Thanks Greg for logging in and taking a 
look.



I've tried three kernel versions: 3.4.90, 3.4.104, 
3.4.105+.

Two Linux flavours: Bananian and Fedora 
21

Always, the same crash problem after about 10 
hours.



Hardware: I'm using the Allwinner A20 SOC. 
This is the Banana 
Pi.

It is dual core ARMv7 with the Mali 400 
GPU.



Problem: The ARM company who designed the 
Mali 400 GPU have not released OpenSource 
drivers,

but only binaries for some kernel versions, in particular 
3.4.X

This affects many ARM 
SOCs.



So, are my crash problems related to the pthread 
libraries in /usr/lib not 
being

compatible with the 3.4.104 kernel and 
modules.



Would these problems go away with a quad core CPU? 





 Repeatability: One can only buy hardware that is 
available now, and suffer the 
software

consequences, because one downloads the software today, not three months 
ago.



Michael DG0OPK's website is trying to promote ARM hardware and provide, as 
many as he 
can,

build instructions for 
same.



 



 Keep 
Smiling

 HI 

All,
 


 

 


 Apologies for not being very clear here. The packages you need, for 

 


 the distribution you have (Debian based Wheezy) do no exist in the 

 


 Debian WHeezy repositories for 

Python3.
 


 

 


 Python3 Imaging Library (python3-pil or 

python3-pillow):
 


 * Wheezy = 

No
 


 * Jessie and Sid = 

yes
 


 

 


 Python3 Imaging, Tk Dependant (python3-imagetk or 

python3-imaging-tk)
 


 * Wheezy = 

No
 


 * Jessie and Sid = 

Yes
 


 

 


 Further confusing the issue, the Python3 packages that are available 

 


 in Jessie and Sid ( pillow 2.6.1 for example ) conflict with WSJT 

 


 adn WSPR code. Which goes back to what we talked about a a few days 

ago.
 


 

 


 You can get pillow using pip3, but there's guarantee it will work 

 


 properly as its form a completely different source ( pypi.python.org 

 


 ). I didn't even bother to look for the Imaging Tk 

modules.
 


 

 


 So, even if you get all the NumPy and GCC issues sorted out, you 

 


 will still have package dependency problems in Pil and Image Tk. I 

 


 suppose it's possible to compile them yourself, but be aware, the 

 


 image libs have several other dependencies when compiling from 

source.
 


 

 


 Do some searching 

here:
 


 https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/python/python-imaging-tk
 


 

 


 You will see, some are available, but they are either the wrong 

 


 versions, wrong Python version or they are not for 

Wheezy.
 


 

 


 I hope that clears this 

up.

 situation is the same as below, unless there's another way to query the
 repo other than apt-get.
 
 * GCC -same again, 4.6. I've not tested any of the apps below 4.7
 
 * Numpy 1.6 .. 1.8.0 was the lowest I could get working. Having said
 that, 1.9.1 and Py3.4 has been running all evening here so that's a
 plus, but doesn't help your situation much. Bare in mind, the F2PY
 script is mostly a wrapper for f2py2e.py in
 
 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/f2py/f2py2e.py
 
 f2py2e.py is the important one of the two, which has a problem.
 
 * Your f2py2e.py has a shebang of /usr/bin/python (which is python2),
 even though it is in python3 sub-folders. Don't know how that happened.
 Was this something you copied over or did you install python3-numpy
 directly? If so, you should purge python3-numpy and reinstall it.
 
 I can't run ./autogen.sh to do further testing due to permissions, 
 so, I can't really troubleshoot the configure.ac script. You should 
 try adding the --with-f2py=PATH options though.
 
 The rest is about the same as far as I can see.

  Hi Alan,
 
  After a bit of poking around, I'm surprised you got as far as you did.
  From the looks of things, I may be logged into the wrong box or something.
 
  Here is what I found thus far:
 
  * I could nto find a WSPR install directory /downloads/hamradio, they
  were all listed as wsjt. 4336 was the latested labeled folder, and that
  was definitely WSJT, not WSPR, so I don't know where WSPR is hiding.
 
  * python-numpy is installed (py2 build), that needs to be removed
 
  * python3-numpy is v1.6. Sice the shift to Python3, the oldest 
  version of Numpy that I've gotten to work, both Linux and Windows, 
  is 1.8.0, others may have different results.
 
  * Pip doesn't seem to be working correctly. ( pip-3.2 list ) should pull
  the package list, but it doesn't seem to be working that way on your
  box, I'm not sure what's up with that one. Maybe it's different on those
  distro's.
 
  * you have (4) F2PY files in the /usr/bin directory:
  -- /usr/bin/f2py -- not sure if this is a py2 or py3 build.
  -- /usr/bin/f2py2.6
  -- /usr/bin/f2py2.7
  -- /usr/bin/f2py3.2
 
  * f2py3.2 is working from the command line. Both in terms of version
  information and f2py -c --help-fcompiler. Adding it to the autogen
  command, as I stated before, should pick this up. I tested 3 
  different locations on my box, all passed, without having python3-
  numpy installed from the Ubuntu repo's, I built it from source in 
  each location.
 
  * Wheezy does not have any of the required python3-*imiging* 
  packages: python3

 Hi Alan,
 
 I'm not sure where FD 21 puts f2py, but Wheezy add it's to:
 
 /usr/bin/f2py3.2
 
 Armel: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/armel/python3-
 numpy/filelist Armhf: 
 https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/armhf/python3-numpy/filelist
 
 I added a couple ac_arg_with statements to configure.ac. I can't log
 into your box to test his, but, when you have time, try running
 ./autogen.sh with:
 
 ./autogen.sh --with-f2py=path-to-f2py --with-python3=path-to-python3
 
 The path statements need to include the file name, so if your f2py file
 name is f2py.py, the path would be something like:
 
 --with-f2py=/usr/bin/f2py.py  or wherever you've installed it.
 
 As a side note, Debian Wheezy has python3-numpy, so I'm not sure why 
 you needed to copy it over from from Fedora. If at all possible, you 
 install python3-numpy form your Bananian (Wheezy) distro, which 
 should yield /usr/bin/f2py3.2.

Hi guys,
WSPR 4.0  SVN 4795 recompiled with FFLAGS += -Ofast and the rest..

Has run from 9:50 this morning to now, 18:10 without crashing:
Memory allocation error
Cannot start rx thread  11

System: Banana Pi, Fedora 21, 
 
http://mirror.as24220.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Images/armhfp/Fedora-LXDE-armhfp-21-5-sda.raw.xz
 copied to SATA disk.
Booted with kernel 3.4.105+ because Fedora have not ported the Mali video
driver yet.

ONE MAJOR MOD: Replace Python Imaging Library (Pillow) with 2.5.3
Use the pip3 tool, Python's installer.
2.6.1 crashes when a waterfall is displayed.

For development, a SATA disk is essential. Forget SD cards, full stop.

 I put the mtune=native in the cmake file, so all fortran code but

  Hi Alessandro and all,
 
  Compiler optimizations can be helpful when tuning code for good
  performance, but I am surprised that you see anything like a 2x
  improvement in decoding speed.
 
  The following table shows the results of a series of tests I made today
  for the decoder (the executable program jt9) running on files like the
  ones you created (01.wav, 02.wav, ... 10.wav, all copies of the example
  file 130610_2343.wav).  The first column lists the Fortran compiler
  flags used; the numerical column gives the total execution time (wall
  clock) for processing the ten files.

  -O3  18.0
  -Ofast   17.8
  
  * Used in the release builds of WSJT-X
 
  As you can see, -mtune=native made essentially no difference.  The
  biggest improvement in execution performance (over the default Release
  build) is gained by turning off bounds-checking.  A slight additional
  improvement is obtained by using -O3 or -Ofast rather than -O2.
  However, the total available improvement is less than 15%.
 
  Obviously, such tests will give different results on different machines.
 Those described above were done on a machine with a Core2 Duo E6750

 This is not a very useful statement.  The decoder used in my WSPR 
 code uses the sequential Fano algorithm, and execution times vary 
 widely depending on input data.  Signals well above the decoding 
 threshold should decode rapidly, and those well below threshold 
 should be skipped over quickly.  When a number of near-threshold 
 signals are present, decoding them (or finally failing) can take an 
 exponentially long time.
 
 You can control the timeout duration by adjusting a parameter 
 called limit in decode162.f90.  Changing it from 1 to 1000 
 will speed up failed decodes by ten times, with a modest (less than 
 1 dB) sensitivity penalty.
 
 On another matter: probably you already noticed that I built an ARM 
 executable for kvasd 1.12 on your system at
 ~wsjtdev/kvasd/kvasd_1.12_armv71

Hi Mike,

the PATH to ar never should be. It's been the unix archiver tool since 1977.
It's always in the default PATH for all users. eg. /bin or /usr/bin.

ar pre-dates tar and cpio

Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT on ARM low power boards, dev is ready

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,
Problem:
WSJT crashes when drawing specJT waterfall, even if window closed.

Solution:
Re-install PIL (Pillow) with and earlier version (not 2.6.1)
/usr/bin/pip3 install -I pillow==2.5.3

Thanks Bill for the hint in your earlier post, this week.

Can you look into the WSJT python source, with a clue now?

Hi Greg,

WSPR

SVN ver 4710 downloaded, installed autogen and ran it. Compile error:

/usr/bin/ld: thnix.o: relocation R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC against `mtxcom_' can not
be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Makefile:
CFLAGS  +=  -fPIC
FFLAGS  +=  -fPIC

And it now compiles.

Must run

 Here are the numpy packages:

 and latest Package 1:python3-numpy-1.8.2-2.fc21.armv7hl already 
 installed and latest
 
 No other versions and in the Makefile:
 PYTHON  ?=  python3
 F2PY?=  /usr/bin/f2py3
 
 Though the tty LXTerm sais core dumped, it's nowhere to be found.
 
 BTW: these Seg Faults happen even if I pull the running code from
 the other ARM box (club.bmarc.org) so, it's in the libraries or environment
 me thinks.
 The same login is also on the box club.bmarc.org.

  Hi Alan,
  
  Just FYI, if you have installed python-numpy (python2x version), and
  your building later versions of WSJT (v10+) / WSPR (v4.0+), which use
  Python3, you should remove python-numpy and only install python3-

[wsjt-devel] where is wsjt-dev-guide.html

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

The webpage:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/devel.html

we have reference to:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-doc/wsjt-dev-guide.html

I was going to setup the Banana Pi with guidance from this doc.

But, document not found.

  Hi Bill and all,
 Hi Joe,
 
  I agree that responses to the F4 command could use some further
  thought.  Possibly some history will help.
 
  In the original WSJT program, including WSJT10, F4 simply clears the
  entry fields for DX Call and DX Grid.  There is a user option F4 sets
  Tx6 on the Setup menu; if it is checked, then F4 also moves the Tx
  message indicator to 6.  In neither case are the Tx message fields changed.
 
From the SVN log history we have the following:
 
  r3463: F4 clears Az, Dist, and all Tx messages as well as DxCall and
  DxGrid.
 
  r3473: After F4, do a genStdMsgs() and leave CQ message in Tx6.
 
  These changer were in response to a user's request; as I recall, they
  were made without giving much thought to the detailed consequences.
 
  Perhaps we should have a user option (options?) that controls whether
  the Tx messages are cleared, and also whether the the Tx message
  indicator is set to 6.   And perhaps any Tx message boxes being cleared
  should NOT include the one normally used to send free-text messages?
 OK, that's getting a bit complicated. How about leaving things as is 
 except that the newly generated CQ message gets displayed in the 
 Gen msg box (this is a clear defect as it stands now) and the Gen 
 msg radio button gets selected. The custom free text message can 
 stay unchanged. That way we don't have too much difference in 
 behaviour between tab 1 and tab 2.
 
 For Charlie G4EST I would say either don't click F4 or if he does 
 then click the Gen msg radio button afterwards if he wants to 
 return to the custom free text message for the next transmit period.

  Hi All,
 
  I am trying to work out what to do when F4 is struck when the program is
  set up to send a free text message.
 
  One of the side effects of F4 is to regenerate the standard messages
  with no DX call i.e. all blank apart from the CQ message.
 
  On tab 1 the free text/73 message is cleared and the radio button for
  the CQ message is selected.
 
  The issue is that when on tab 2 messages the next message to send
  becomes the generated CQ message but the UI doesn't reflect that, in
  fact the UI doesn't change apart from the DX call and grid being cleared.
 
  I am looking at it because G4EST reported the issue. He expected the tab
  2 free text message to be sent if he enabled TX which is not
  unreasonable according to the UI. He was using a custom CQ message CQ
  G4EST LA and wanted to send it again after hitting F4.
 
  So should F4 with tab 2 active; set the Gen msg radio button and fill
  in the generated CQ message or should it leave the free text message
  selected and send that message if TX is enabled?

[wsjt-devel] WSJT on ARM low power boards

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,

I've downloaded Fedora-LXDE-armhfp-21-TC2-sda.raw.xz and installed
it onto my Banana Pi with SATA disk. No small feet as there are no
instructions that WORK. I've got there by using the uboot from
Bananian to load the kernel from Fedora and use the SATA disk as root
copied from the Fedora SD card.
(when running on SATA, the SD card can be removed/changed)

Gotcha: Still kernel 3.4.90 with no kernel modules. Obviously
the Fedora team are awaiting the 3.17.4-300.fc21 kernel.

So now it's software development time:

# python -V  =  3.4.1

gcc 4.9
gcc-gfortran 4.9


Access for you guys, SSH and RDP to www.unixservice.com.au
user: wsjtdev 
pwd:  wsjtdev2

Have fun.

Alan VK2ZIW

 OK, that's a reasonable solution.  Tab 1 stays as is.

[wsjt-devel] compile problem WSJT-X r4617 and 4634 on Linux

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi all,
O/S: Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) x86_64
Hardware: ASRock QC5000-ITX AMD Kabini  GPU


jt9.f90:(.text+0x9b1): undefined reference to `export_wisdom_'
jt9.f90:(.text+0x185e): undefined reference to `import_wisdom_'

Because these functions are export_wisdon_to_file and
import_wisdom_from_file in f77_wisdom.f90.

I changed these in 
f77_wisdom.f90 and the build completes and wsjtx runs.

But, I did the build looking for JT65C for the EME group.
So, can one use WSJT-X for JT65C?

 Hi Chris,
  With Bill's continued patience, we have discovered that I had my wires
  crossed.
 
  This MicroHAM III interface does not use DTR for PTT as I had believed
  but instead uses RTS.  I had it exactly backwards and so selecting
  PTT is DTR in the software of course didn't do the right thing.
  PTT is RTS works much better.  The non-existent schematic for the
  interface would have helped me see this light myself :-)
 No problem, at least a hamlib bug was found in the process and the 
 diagnostics have been improved as well.
 
  I prefer to use CAT control for as much of this as possible so I will
  probably continue to run with my own patched version but I totally
  understand that the patch is probably not for general consumption.
  That was really not my intention anyway but I sent it to illustrate how
  I resolved the problem for myself.
 One point worth considering; I prefer hard wired PTT control of CAT, 
 all else being equal, the reason being that it is far more likely 
 that a CAT command gets corrupted when transmitting than the state 
 of a serial control line. Of course I would not recommend any set up 
 that is not immune to RFI but many users have limited aerial systems 
 that can be prone to high levels of RF in the shack.
 
  Thanks guys.  I appreciate all the effort you put in to make this software
  available on Linux.
 Thanks for the help testing.

  The following fixes it for me completely.  I am then able to use CAT

  As I suspected, an assumption was being made at initialization that if DTR
  and RTS were not forced on, that they would then be off.  Not the case.
  So, this patch deasserts them if they are not chosen to be explicitly
  asserted at initialization.
  I'm sorry, that patch is not acceptable. It might work for you but it
  will break WSJT-X for anyone who has a serial interface that requires
  full modem control. Again I state, there is no justification for
  breaking the RS-232 protocol by forcing control lines unless the control
  lines are being used exclusively for non-standard purposes.
 
  Please run the test version I sent you and send me the trace log please.
  The code as it stands should work if you set the PTT Method to DTR and
  I want to know why it is not working.
  Thanks for your help.  I appreciate it.

  OK.  This is where there is a difference between how FLDigi is able to
  use hamlib and CAT.  With FLDigi, I do use PTT method is CAT and do not
  have this issue.  So, there must be a way to get the CAT port open and
  talking without asserting DTR (or RTS).
  As I stated before, forcing modem control lines to non-standard states
  is undesirable and a violation of the RS-232 protocol. It should only be
  done when there is a specific reason for it. For example when a control
  signal is to be used for a non-standard purpose. WSJT-X provides for two
  non-standard purposes of modem control lines:
 
  1) One of DTR or RTS may be used for controlling PTT on a transceiver,
  this may be done either on the CAT

Re: [wsjt-devel] Samplerates and resampling, ARM port for balloons

[Alan VK2ZIW]

Hi,

WSJT (not WSJTX) on Bananian 3.1 or most other kernel 3.4.90 Linuxes.

For balloon flights, EME and low power uses, the Linux ARM port is very
useful, except for the samplerate issues and the compile
repeatability.
The Banana Pi with a SATA disk makes a fantastic 'dev' box. Just
change the boot device in /boot/uEnv.txt on the SD card and specify
the root: SD card, partitions 1 2 3 4 on the SATA disk.

Samplerate
==

It's all to hard to find a USB sound device that supports 11025.
And, the .asoundrc methods are hard as well.
Can a device chooser be implemented in WSJT?
Also, can the samplerate be set to 44100 to suite more cards?
(using libsamplerate in the WSJT app)

Compiling WSJT 10 in an ARM environment.

I succeeded a month ago on our BMARC club Banana Pi. (Bananian 3.0)
But, on a 2nd Banana Pi, with the original 3.0 SD card image, all
efforts fail. Compiles, runs, can set Setup parameters, but as soon as
Monitor is pressed - Crash Segmentation Fault. Tests with Bananian 3.1
fail, the same way.
We, of course use python3 and f2py3.2 and python3 when running it.

Michael DG0OPK and I need some help.
