Subject: [WSJTX] Tx power 1kW?

 

I'm using v2.2.0-rc1 for a day or two, although on WSPR as yet. Only one

minor problem so far. The Tx power doesn't seem to remember the last

value set, after restart always returns to 60dBm 1kW. Most everything is

saved correctly (Tx freq, Tx percentage, etc.), only this particular one

is lost and I have to set it back once I stop the program and restart.

Has anyone also noticed or I just missed something among changes?

 

wsjtx_2.2.0-rc1_amd64.deb running on Linux, Debian v10 (buster) here.

Then you *do have* an IF-232C equivalent. It just has a USB
connection to the PC and not an RS-232 port.

Regardless, the N1MM would also have issues if it were a hardware
issue.
What chip set does your USB to IF-232 interface use? Some chip set
drivers do not work well with some compilers. If your "cable" does
not use a genuine FTDI chip set you could be dealing with a driver
issue. N1MM almost certainly uses a different compiler than WSJTX
and the WSJTX compiler may be triggering a bug in your interface
cable.

What communications parameters *and* "handshake" settings are you
using with N1MM? Have you *duplicated* those settings *exactly*
in WSJTX? The most common problem with WSJTX and *ALL* of the
old TTL interfaced Kenwood transceivers (those with a 6pin DIN CAT
jack)is failing to set the "Handshake" in WSJTX to *HARDWARE* (or
"Force Control Lines RTS=High").

Folks, please don't argue hardware with me. I have way too much
experience with it. And with troubleshooting...
Don't come around here asking for help then copping an attitude.
G4WJS is one of the developers of WSJTX and you can't be bothered
to run a simple diagnostic for him. I've been supporting digital
interface (sound card and CAT) products for 15+ years and was writing
widely used serial drivers to add "extra" serial ports to early
IBM PCs 35 years ago (using Microsoft Assembler) in MSDOS.

You are wrong. From the Kenwood TS-440 Instruction Manual, pg 32:

* IF-232C Interface
The IF-232C interface is the adapter for connection between the
RS-232C terminal of a personal computer and the interface terminal
of the TS-440S.

What interface are you using between your computer's serial port
(RS-232) or USB connector? Some interface is most certainly required.

I repeat, N1MM *runs the exact same hardware* & works perfectly to
control the rig!
What data rate and handshake settings are you using in N1MM? Are
you using the very same settings in WSJT-X?

I hate to say this but setting the WSJT-X devices as DEFAULT will cause a lot of problems as most Windows programs will use the DEFAULT devices to for their sound output.   This is very bad advice.

please do the following and report back what is printed:

 

open a CMD prompt window. Make a note of your COM port number that is your CAT serial interface and type these commands (I have used COM, substitute your COM port):

 

cd \WSJT\wsjtx\bin

rigctl-wsjtx -m 2002 -r COM3 -s 4800 -Cserial_handshake=Hardware -vvvvv -Z f

Well Bill, 

 

I sent you the Kenwood IC-10 manual that contains the Kenwood TS-440S codes. 

 

If they can make a TS-440S driver for wsjt-x, that would be great!  Because the regular 440 selection as it is now does not work at all with the 440S.

 

Here, I'll send it again...

you are very wrong about the activity on the Hamlib project, it is under active development and support is extremely responsive. We are happy to pass on Hamlib issues reported to the WSJT-X team or better still contribute in the form of patches. If you can replicate an issue using the Hamlib test utility rigctl or even the rigctld utility using the "Hamlib NET rigctl" driver included with WSJT-X, that would be an excellent starting point for tracking down rig model specific rig control issues.

No, the problem is that in wsjt-x, there is NO selection at all for the TS-440S. Odd, since that radio is still widely used.

Hi.

For the TS440s issue, you need to talk to the Hamlib people over on:-

    hamlib-developer@...

You'll need to subscribe to the mailing list at:-

To get that sorted out, it's not a WSJTx problem as such.

Hi Dana,

The bad thing about false decodes is that they are false.  The good thing is that they are easy to recognize.

We have to make decisions that affect the trade-off between sensitivity and the rate of undetected false decodes.  We have favored sensitivity, slightly, while assuring that the false-decode rate is still very low.

Hi Mike,

Yes, subtraction of already-decoded signals in WSJT-X v2.2.0 is even better than in earlier versions.  We're delighted that you noticed!

John,

 

I would suggest trying it with the IF-232 inserted as Kenwood designed.

It is entirely possible that N1MM is using a different software scheme to create the signals to run the radio, than what WSJT uses.

I know very little about such things, but it would be worth a try to hook it up as designed before you condemn the application.

 

Very Respectfully, Eric (W1EL)

No, it is NOT required!

 

I repeat, N1MM runs the exact same hardware & works perfectly to control the rig!  No, the 2 programs, N1MM & wsjt-x don't run at the same time.

 

The wsjt-x 440 selection works not at all! The Ts-140S works, but is unstable. 

 

It's not r.f.i.; I've tried it with near zero power out & into a dummy load on wsjt-x.  Yet I can run N1MM PERFECTLY FINE on 100 Watts!

 

It's a wsjt-x problem; period!

Do you have a Kenwood IF-232 in between the radio and your PC?

That's ok; it isn't working either.

 

Keeps saying it's not an executable, etc.

 

Never mind; I guess I'll just give up on ever running DXpedition  stations, or having auto-band/freq connections.

 

I am about to delete the whole thing... 

 

If you guys don't want to support a very popular radio, by not providing a working driver... just say so.

 

I will repeat, the issue is that of wsjt-x!  Other folks have figured this out, and I am tired of circular arguments & trying to push it off to third parties that haven't  updated in over 2 years, & haven't mentioned the TS-440S in 9 years!

 

This is a hobby to relieve stress, not create it. 

 

... again, I am not a software guy, I don't have the tools, but I have provided the Kenwood IC-10 docs 3 times so that you guys can compare notes on what it (the 440S) requires vs. what you guys are or are not doing correctly. 

 

 

 

Please let me know when you guys provide support for the 440S... or if you never plan to...

John,

 

it is using a Hamlib test program to open a connection to your rig and to send a fundamental query command to get the current VFO frequency. It will do the same steps that a an initial connection from WSJT-X will do but it will print copious trace information that will help determine what is not working for you.
