Hi Sander,
tnx, this is stuff we are looking for...
Some more questions:
1.: Have you looked at
http://www.pskmail.org/jPSKmail-2.0.x_on_windows7.html ?
Sorry, didn't see that. Will review right away and let you know what
happened.
2: Have you installed the RxTx java library? It takes care of the
handling of the USB ports...
This is probably a critical missing piece.
3.: Have you tried without PTT, using VOX?
No, I never use VOX because it's generally not recommended and I paid
for a PTT port :-)
4.: Have you tried to use the device with Fldigi? If it works there,
it can give you clues
about ports, audio devices etc...
Yes, fldigi and others work great.
If you set the main server in 'User data' it will be remembered... as
soon as you
can hear more than 1 server they will automatically be added to the
drop down list at the bottom
of the app...
Hmm, I guess this is where I need to learn the standard recipes yet for
pskmail. I was expecting it to remember the server I was pinging.
You can retrieve any web page (text only) via the Info menu...
Just fill in the URL in the Info->Get web pages form, connect and
select the URL...
The server ops are responsible for keeping the wiki servers page up to
date...
I think what you mean is that once you are connected to a server over RF
it can provide text web pages, right? I can see this is helpful once
you're under way. Is the correct URL stored in jpskmail somewhere? I
think it would be helpful if the 'retrieve server list' action was more
easily performed, especially for new users. If you're not connected (the
default state when freshly installed) it could at least pop up a message
saying 'open url ..... in a browser' or simply do that for you.
I am always using V2 with VOX, and the cat control of my 897 is
broken, so I
cannot test properly... I don't own a Microham interface to test it...
Actually, I can use the FT897 with just an audio cable, no interface.
The microham interface isn't anything special to Windows, just extra
audio devices and COM ports. I considered using a plain cable or one
with isolation transformers but figured having the extra sound card was
a good idea. A lot more $$/E than a cable of course :-)
