All,
First of all, my best wishes for the new year. I'm sure all of you have
made good wishes and goals for the new year, and so have I.
One of my 2014 goals is to finally get a working jpskmail installation
both at home and on board. I have made a dedicated installation at home
so this project will not interfere with my other ongoing projects.
What I have so far:
*** system
*****************************************************************
radio hardware:
antenna: gap titan dx
tuner: mfj 929
radio: kenwood ts-140s
optional if-10c/rs232 interface for rig controll:

LinuxMint mate 1.6.0, kernel 3.10-2-486 (debian based)

standard mint installation
extra's:
hamlib (libhamlibs-utils)
ntpd
fldigi
jpskmail 2.0.30 (using file jPSKmail-2.0.30-Linux-x86-Install)
*** startup messages
*******************************************************
jan@marconi ~/jpskmail $ java -jar ./javapskmail.jar
configuration.xml
Stable Library
=========================================
Native lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2
Java lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
WARNING: RXTX Version mismatch
Jar version = RXTX-2.1-7

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf",

.....
So I am at a point where the jPSKmail program seems to run fine, except
for these 'invalid file descriptor' messages that keep popping up, but
doesn't seem to be a problem. I experience some other problems:
*** problem 1
****************************************************************
using rigctl's ts-140s driver (225) produces the following error:
jan@marconi ~/jpskmail $ rigctl -vv -m 225 -r /dev/ttyUSB0
kenwood_transaction: Command is not correctly terminated 'f���'
kenwood_transaction: Command is not correctly terminated 'f��'
kenwood_transaction: Command is not correctly terminated 'f�'
Opened rig model 225, 'TS-140S'
Rig command: f
kenwood_get_freq: unsupported VFO 536870912
get_freq: error = Invalid parameter
Rig command: q
=> this is resolved in fldigi by using ts-440 driver (202), but jpskmail
shows weird behavior when I do that. Sometimes it seems to work,
sometimes not.
Note that the rig interface is /dev/ttyUSB0 , 4800 baud
*** problem 2
****************************************************************
hardware ptt doesn't work: the rig does not transmit when pushing
connect button
=> hardware ptt selected over /dev/ttyS0, RTS to be activated. (these
settings do work in fldigi)
I've allready tried all possible settings (I think), but to no avail.
Can anybody give me a hint as to what I might try next ?
thanks on beforehand and keep up the good work !
