Re: WSJT-X on Linux, Sound card issues

Using DTR or RTS on Linux with WSJT-X v1.3 r3777 downloaded today. In "rigclass.cpp" is the function: int Rig::setPTT(ptt_t ptt, vfo_t vfo) Which should do all this stuff. As I see it, it doesn't. There is nothing for DTR or RTS mode not using "hamlib" in "not WIN32". I...

Re: WSJT-X on Linux, Sound card issues

Using DTR for TX keying Well, that doesn't work either. The port "/dev/ttyS0" is open, but nothing happens. Sending from another terminal: user$ date > /dev/ttyS0 turns DTR on as expected. Do then: user$ stty 0 < /dev/ttyS0 turns DTR off. So, there is still some coding to do. Alan VK2ZIW

Re: WSJT-X on Linux, Sound card issues, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64, the latest WSJT-X won't compile, but packages are available of WSJTX v1.1 which has SoundCard samplerate issues. None of my cards do 12000 in this box, so use the ".asoundrc" fix. I chose Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for it's Long Time Support. WSJT-X v1.3 needs Qt5, so bac...

Re: WSJT-X on Linux, Sound card issues VMware ESXi

Another note: VMware server aka ESXi 5 does not support streaming audio to USB sound cards, so,
my brilliant idea of using several virtual machines one for each of my 3 radios, will not work.
Somehow I need the audio streamed over TCP/IP.

Has anybody any thoughts?

Re: WSJT-X on Linux, Sound card issues

Well, on Fedora 19 x86_64, WSJT-X "Configuration" "Ausio In: and Audio Out: come from PulseAudio. So, by default (NOT MY CONFIG) ALL cards belong to PulseAudio. This is CRAP as PulseAudio is defective. PulseAudio does not route audio, it, I have found, sends to all This is WHY I allow...

To Dave VK3HZ Yes, it would be fun to balloon with a Pi onboard and running WSJT-X or WSPR etc.. I've found an "armhf" WSJT and WSJT-X Ver 1.1 on the net for the Pi. The SD card in my Pi has gone corrupt.A Kingston 8Gb SDC4/8GB 31311-001.A00LF so, can't test yet. The WSJT-X team, (WSJT-X ...

Re: WSJT-X on Linux, Sound card issues

Please DON'T submit a solution until YOU have tested it. Yes, you.

Reason: WSJT-X Ver 1.3 uses PulseAudio sound devices. ".asoundrc" has no effect.

Re: WSPR Help Needed - Mac OSX

You are not alone: Linux WSJT and WSJT-X have sound card issues: WSJT requires 11025 b/s sample-rate. -- available only on a USB Behringer UCA202 developed by Burr-Brown from TI, a USB Audio CODEC example. WSJT-X requires 12000 b/s. -- available from an Ensoniq ENS1371 PCI card. So, which sound card...

Re: 70cm & 23cm now added to WSPR maps!

With Icom and Yaesu both making rigs with 2m, 70cm and 23cm I saw these missing, way back. But, for now issues, we need a Linux audio programmer to get WSPR, WSJT, WSJT-X back on track supporting the most popular audio sample-rates 44100 and 48000, that ALL cards support.

WSJT-X on Linux, Sound card issues

Hi all, Time I spoke out... WSJT and WSJT-X on Linux use non standard sound sampling rates, such as 12000 and 11025 b/s. (48000 / 4 and 44100 / 4) Very few sound cards have drivers with these rates. Not one USB sound card, I know of, offers these rates, so, how do I use a laptop? Yesterday, I downlo...

Yagi antennae, just DON'T work over the range 49.5 to 52.5 MHz. I've been modelling with 4nec2 and, over the range 49.5 to 50.5 MHz, one does well. SWR < 2:1 Extend the range to 49.5 to 52.5 MHz and the SWR at 52.2 would be 5:1 or more. To get the F/B (Front to Back) to be decent over this range, I...
