It appears that my fldigi upgrade is running me low on resources. My server is bogging down swapping between physical and virtual memory. It is an older machine.


I have heard several attempts to connect at slower speeds this afternoon while the server was bogged down.

I will reinstall an older fldigi and/or increase RAM. I was running fldigi 2.04 before and it was very reliable.

If you got frustrated, please try again later.

The WB5CON is now updated to the new 0.6 server software. Fldigi is updated to 2.10.1.

Scheduled speed shifting is now implemented as follows:

minute 0 - PSK63
minute 1 - PSK128
minute 2 - PSK250
minute 3 - PSK250
minute 4 - PSK250

This repeats on a five minute cycle. The server time is set via ntp but seems about 2 seconds off. I'll fix that.

Also, there are now 3 beacons each hour as follows:

top of the hour - PSK63
one minute past - PSK128
two minutes past - PSK250

This is all on 10148kHz (10147 USB on your radio, if fldigi is set to 1000 Hz.).

I do not have the radio interfaced to hamlib so traffic frequency is not implemented.

I did update my client laptop to 0.7 client and easily manipulated the server speed from the client both up and down. Timing seemed a bit off (collisions) when using PSK63 but PSK128 and PSK250 worked well.
