Hi -
Thanks for the helpful messages on the list last night while I was asleep! My
server now is "located" in Ohio right where is should be (rather than
somewhere in China!), and the PTT is now working - all it took was a click
on the initialize button!
ASLEEP....you sleep when you can be playing radio.....
I am currently up on 21.090 MHz USB on a very dead band doing some
testing with another local (N8RMF) He is having trouble with his PTT via the
serial port (which was working last night). When he clicks on "initialize" he
gets a message saying is is "unable to open". Anyone have any ideas what
is causing that
Sounds as though he has something else tying up the serial port, what
all is he running from the port. Remember if its hamlib, you can only
run 1 instance at a time...IOW you can't use Xlog and fldigi and hamlib
at the same time, its hamlib and fldigi in this case. That is if he set
up Xlog with hamlib support. If I'm wrong give us some more info to go with.
Also -
can someone give me a brief tutorial on how to download and install a new
application - like Hamlib - so I can try out the rig control features with my
FT857D and FT-100D?
Thanks again!
1. go to hamlib.org
2. download version 1.2.5 to your /home
3. open your file manager....nautilus or konqueror
4. double click the file you downloaded, this should open file roller or
something similar, hit the "extract" button
5. from a terminal "cd hamlib-1.2.5"
6. now if your there....hopefully... do the next 3 steps in order
./configure
make
then as root (su or sudo)
make install
If you have problems please cut and paste any error messages, and
include the distro you are using and whether it is gnome or kde.
