NBEMS (fldigi et. all) updates
by Richard Shaw Aug. 3, 2020

Aug. 3, 2020

Just reaching out to see who all uses the NBEMS suite of programs, specifically fldigi, flrig, and flmsg. Over the last month I have taken up trying to learn C/C++ and decided to use Dave's suite of programs to cut my teeth on. I've "fixed" a number of things in the three above programs but they haven't been included in a release... yet. Some of them are important enough I've been applying them a patches to the current Fedora builds. Here's a summary log of my changes: fldigi: (mostly compiler warnings and MinGW fixes) 77ac39e8 Comment out memset in fsq.cxx and other type fixes. 87b3c9d1 Cast to int from trx_mode (intptr_t) with LOG_ statement. 4b49672c Require use of system regex. 70ab21ae MinGW updates: aff671cf Can't pass by reference as it may change (or not be valid) by the time it's executed. f7dd4994 For rigCAT_update_pwrlevel, change from void to long for consistance (since type is known) and pass by reference instead of pointer since we're dealing with C++ fcc7996a Bring in needed files from tmp/mingw for nsis packaging. 470e062f Additional fixes for MinGW 64bit. e00075b6 Fix warning about boundary. 3acdfaa1 Fix warning about boundary issue. flrig: 7e9e2e4 FT-991A.cxx: get/set split fixes: 73bb797 Formatting cleanup on FT991. db36b7d FT-991A mic gain values are 0 .. 100. 3e9735e FT-450D Mic Gain fixes 2a293ca cppcheck: XmlRpc f84304f Remove superfluous ceil call in get_rf_gain() as the cast to int truncates it anyway. 7744166 Tweaks for Yaesu FT-450D and Kenwood TS-480SAT flmsg: c2e2b50 Add check in function arqlog for when nom is not empty bus s is. - This one fixes a crash when pressing the "Send" button. eed58aa cppcheck: fix memory leaks src/utils/status.cxx. d1e479f cppcheck: fix memory leaks in src/utils/parse_xml.cxx. bede427 cppcheck: fix memory leaks in src/transfer/transfer.cxx. 0da8b1a cppcheck: fix memory leaks in src/flmsg.cxx. 745da0f cppcheck: fix memory leaks in src/custom/custom.cxx. f971885 cppcheck: fix memory leaks in csv.cxx.

Howto setup a Winlink client? (pat)
by Richard Shaw Aug. 2, 2020

Aug. 2, 2020

Is there anyone else interested in helping me develop a howto for setting up a Winlink client? Supposedly winlink proper works well under wine, but using a close source program still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I found pat[1] which is written in GO. I would consider packaging it but I have NO idea how to package GO. For now I'm using upstreams provided binaries. I decided ham radio related howtos should be an extension of the Amateur radio sig on Fedora, so I setup the howto here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AmateurRadio/Howto/Pat Outside of this particular topic, it would be nice to come up with more howtos and link to them from the main wiki (probably through the howto part of the link). Thanks, Richard KF5OIM

chirp COPR for Fedora 32, rawhide, and EL 8
by Richard Shaw April 30, 2020

April 30, 2020

As a stop gap measure I have created a COPR for chirp with the missing python2 requirements. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/chirp/ I have built chirp for Fedora 32, Fedora Rawhide, and EL 8. One of the dependencies is libxml2 which is a C library with python bindings. Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues with the Fedora version but I'll have to stay on top of any updates to the Fedora version. This a very much a less than ideal situation but I haven't found a better one. I tried setting up a flatpak but gave up. The documentation is too poor and trying to write JSON is an exercise in frustration. Thanks, Richard KF5OIM
