Hi Alan, Peter

I'm not sure I follow what your saying, put 'Linux_Audio_setup" in SVN ?

I actually have a full Beringer audio stack, but that's for ESSB 5Khz
TX, which I don't use anymore.

I don't know about most laptops, but my Dell i5 has a fare few, but then
again, I don't use the internal card for Hamradio anyway. I use this to
get my listing(s):

---------
$ lsusb or lspci if that applies

Find The Audio device, mine is TI Bur-Brown:
Bus 006 Device 004: ID 08bb:2906 Texas Instruments
lsusb -v -d 08bb:2906 | grep tSamFreq | sed -e "s,^.* ,," | sort -nu

Available Rates
8000
11025
16000
22050
32000
44100
48000
---------

Re: WSJT Documentation (Text files and such), yes, it's known there is a
good bit of tidy-up work to do, but the proper WSJT v10 Guide is in good
shape.


Re: Peter,

I was worried I had the package list wrong for Mint 17, so I cleaned a
partition on my main box, and did a full install from the ISO CD, then:

* performed the update and upgrade
* removed bluez-alsa
* added two packages: subversion and autoconf
* checkout jtsdk-dev from SVN
* ran: ./autoge.sh --with-distro=mint --enable=parallel=yes
* ran make: make  ( used the ubuntu mirror for pbuilder )
* sudo make install
* ran jtsdk: jtsdk

Then build "all" the packages. WSJT is working fine here. See attached
screen shot from 10m.
