Hi Joe, I tried the latest wsjt-x_exp this evening on Ubuntu 14.04 and it worked great! My regular hopping setup uses gnuradio to read the TS-480's audio from a sound card and write it to a .wav file. I send xmlrpc commands to stop and start recording. I was surprised to find that I could start wsjt-x "on top" of my program, and have it listen to the same sound card that my gnuradio program was recording.
I see that you intend to add band hopping. That's great! It'd be nice if you'd include the facility to call a user_hardware script before each 2-minute window. I need this to control antenna and filter switches. The next interval's frequency could be provided as an argument to the user_hardware script. While you're at it, how about 4 hopping schedules that can be run during a 24 hour cycle? Day, night, and sun rise-set transition windows... That's what I use here, but it's orchestrated by a cron job. It'd be nice to be able to control it from within your slick GUI. It would be sufficient to have 4 rows of band buttons to select the active bands, and set the transition times. Thanks for the very cool program! 73 Steve k9an > On May 13, 2015, at 12:05 PM, Joe Taylor <j...@princeton.edu> wrote: > > Hi Edson, > > PY2SDR wrote: >> Would it add too much complexity to have the frequency error correction in >> the audio base band of the decoders?
