Radio recomendation?

Hello all,

I'm  currently looking for a handheld that can hopefully be controlled
like a rig with hamlib. I want the feature of controlling non only PTT
and  audio  but  also  change the frequency, tones, ect. I'm currently
working  my  way down the list of supported hardware, but it is taking
some  time with the good old dialup. Any chance any one can toss out a
quick list to help shorten the search.

Best regards.

Bug#328667: very old package, should this be removed?

So I finally had some time to listen to my RX-320...
I used the rx320 program, and rigctl, grig and
sgcontrol hamlib programs.

The rx320 program allows more precise control than
the hamlib setup. I'd feel better about removing it
if the quality of hamlib improves...

The main shortcoming with hamlib is setting the
filter bandwidth. (The radio has 34 settings)

The rx320 program may be old, but it still works.

For you debian-hams types, feel free to add your
comments to Bug#328667.

For hamlib-developers, grab the rx320 source from the
Debian archive while you still can and let's use it
to improve hamlib support for this radio.

The hamlib backend for the rx320 has status "untested" meaning that
the code has been written from specs but nobody has actually tested it
yet. If you can test all relevant commands using the rigctl program
and post your results here, I'm sure someone will take the time and
fix it.

FT-847

Morning,

I've dabbled with hamlib before but never really got a chance to use  
it properly.  I took the plunge last night, got 1.2.4 and got it  
talking to my FT-847, what I'm initially going to do is to call it in  
from a perl script to automatically tune the radio for received  
doppler.  So, if there is a FT-847 maintainer looking for testers,  
I'm quite happy to help out if i can.

Keep up the good work.

Regards
de John

AOR 7030

Hello

I am using Hamlib with the DREAM software for DRM and analog broadcast 
reception.

Under version 1.2.3, it was possible to tune the unmodified AOR 7030. 
This is no longer the case under version 1.2.4. In CW mode, the filter 
bandwith goes to 0 khz, and the receiver blocks.

I suppose, the cause be the standard bandwiths in hamlib:

Bandwidths:
	AM	normal: 15 kHz,	narrow: 6 kHz,	wide: 30 kHz
	CW	normal: 3 kHz,	narrow: 0 Hz,	wide: 0 Hz
	USB	normal: 3 kHz,	narrow: 0 Hz,	wide: 0 Hz
	LSB	normal: 3 kHz,	narrow: 0 Hz,	wide: 0 Hz
	FM	normal: 15 kHz,	narrow: 6 kHz,	wide: 30 kHz

I would suggest to use the following bandwiths:

	CW	normal: 3 kHz,	narrow: 0.8 kHz,	wide: 9.5 kHz

Moreover, I would suggest to replace the "0 Hz" entries in the USB and 
LSB modes by e.g. 0.8 and 4.8 kHz.

Thank you and 73

Re: FT-847

Hi John,

According to the AUTHORS file, Jim Jerzycke, KQ6EA, is the maintainer 
of the FT-847 backend. I'm sure he will be happy to have some feedback
for this radio model. You may simply start with making hamlib work
for your need, and report to this list any success/troubles.
Time permitting, you can also thoroughly test all the implemented
primitives of the FT-847. Patches and new ideas are alway welcome.hi.
If your perl application ends up with a distributable form, please
let us know so we could link against it in http://hamlib.org/app.html

Thanks for the feedback.

Best 73,

FT-847

Well, I think I bit off more than I can chew! I've
learned a lot, but I don't have anything to submit, so
maybe I'm not really qualified to be the maintainer.
If anybody else would like to take over, I'd have no
objections.
Regards, Jim  KQ6EA

Thanks for forwarding the patch, and many thanks to Petr!

It's commited to the CVS repository, and will be part of next 1.2.5.
Talking about version, a new one is going to see the light soon.
I have couple of USB patches in my tree, a DWT support in the make,
and the SDR1000 RFE wants to sneak in. Besides, several reports made
to the list by estimated users will be considered for this version.

If anyone has pending patches to be integrated, we want to here from you!

Cheers,
