Hello list,
Recently I was able to send and receive some mail, but on the whole,
it's a very frustrating experience.
Today I again tried for more than 2 hours to receive one (1) small mail,
but it didn't work.
My setup:
- gap titan dx multi-band vertical
- mfj antenna tuner
- kenwood ts140 tranceiver
- dsp filter
- computer running linux mint
I have both pskmail 1.5.29/fldigi and jpskmail 2.0.30 running. I swap
the ~/.pskmail/configuration.xml file whenever I switch clients
the 2.0.30 is simple: it doesn't work. my transmitter goes into transmit
whenever I open the settings window. In that case, the transmitter
continues to transmit regardless of what I do in pskmail: quit,
disconnect, ... Even quiting pskmail completely doesn't stop the
transmit. I have to switch off the tranceiver. On the other hand, my
transmitter does not transmit anything when pressing the tune button,
sending a ping or a beacon or trying to connect. Using the (working)
1.5.29 config doesn't change a thing.
fldigi / pskmail 1.5.29 does work. But I hardly hear anything. It seems
to me that my signal gets thru to the world, but can somebody confirm
this ? I have been busy today may 7th between 14:00 and 17:00 CET.
the only server I can contact reasonably is OE5RTL (sorry for
monopolizing the server). Sometimes I hear 9A1CRA, but i've never been
able to do anything on it, timeout happens long before I receive anything.
On OE5RTL it seems to me that most of the time gets lost trying to find
a transmit mode. But I do not really know, it's so slow that I do not
really know what is happening. Even when reconnecting, the system tries
to catch up for hours without any result.
