Hi All, Almost no progress. I found out that after the dirty fix of the tuner (the icom transceiver won't send a tune start signal- so I pull the line to ground manually), I get no reading on the ALC meter anymore, so I really can't tell anymore if my signal is any good. I'm not sure if the tuner fix is the problem, because when I speak in the mic- everything is normal, so I ripped the sound card interface apart (again).....this sets me back about a month. AAARG. Anyways. I was able to ping some servers before that- in the night/morning I was able to get a response from KB2PNM, in the late afternoon from DK4XI-3. I got about 72 % from each server. During the day i get almost nothing- PSK traffic on the band is barely audible with lost of QRM. It seems that the 30 m band works best at night- is this true? @Rein: You where right, the missing tty was the PTT control which was not present when I "generated" the log. PTT keying works fine. The lines I was refering to in my ARQ-Server problem were: >E: start: Could not start ARQ server (getaddrinfo: Die Adressfamilie >f?r Hostnamen wird nicht unterst?tzt) >E: start: Could not start XML-RPC server (getaddrinfo: Die >Adressfamilie f?r Hostnamen wird nicht unterst?tzt) Thanks again for all your input, Christian
