dog days of July

Hamlib has been very quiet lately.

To start something going, I've added documentation on how to pronounce
"hamlib" to our Wiki.

See http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/hamlib/index.php?title=Main_Page
and tell me I'm all wrong.

p.s. There was an obscure bug with the "Hamlib design" graphic that
sometimes gave a low-res result.  Fixed now, I think.

Hamlib SF project setting

Hi - Stephane or Nate -

At your convenience, could you go to Hamlib Admin > Manage Project
Settings menu and change the Project Homepage setting to
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/hamlib - since that is now our
real home page for the project? (Note http:, not https:)

I have adjusted the "traditional" web page at hamlib.sourceforge.net
to redirect to the Wiki after delay, but a direct link from the
project page would be better. The target of hamlib.org is also set to
the Wiki.

The old web site is still there, at
hamlib.sourceforge.net/index2.html, but I don't think normal users
need to go there.  I think we do still use it in the release process
-- supported radios, etc.

I am just getting back into the Sourceforge milieu, after its big
reorganization.  Confusing at first, but probably much better now.

I guess I always have fallen into the second camp without even considering the 
possibility of the first pronunciation.  Interesting, Martin.  Thanks for the 
addition.

I changed the link but it seems to not have changed the summary page.  Perhaps 
there is a delay (review?) before it does so.  Anyway, good idea, and yes, 
I've had plenty of other things going on that have limited my interest in 
hacking the past few months.  About the only thing I've done for this project 
of late is clear out the spam bucket every other day or so.

Re: Hamlib SF project setting

Nate,

They also serve who only stand and wait.
(http://www.englishclub.com/ref/esl/Sayings/Quizzes/Patience/They_also_serve_who_only_stand_and_wait_911.htm)

The change shows up correctly as the "www" item on the hamlib SF
project page, below the big green "download" button. Incidentally,
that big green button gets the Win32 version by default.  Is that our
intention?  Probably not, but I'm not sure how to change that.

Anyway, thanks!

Re: Hamlib SF project setting

Another website request...

The URL to the 'qle' logger as mentioned at:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/hamlib/index.php?title=Applications#qle

...is incorrect. It should be:

http://home.kpn.nl/w.knol18/qle/qle.html

Thanks!

Re: Hamlib SF project setting

Fixed.  Thanks for the report.  We must check for other dead links!

Software scanner ?

Is there a software scanner based on hamlib ? A simple program looping 
on a frequence range, listening to each intermediate frequency and 
trying to detect a signal and classify it ?
Something like http://www.frequencymanager.de/ or 
http://www.radioctl.com/english/index.html with an open-source frequency 
database ?

Ten Tec RX-340

Do you still require documentation for the RX-340 ?

If so, I can supply a copy of the remote control section from the manual.
Please just let me know. I would also be available to test any future 
driver.

Thank for a great job.

Regards
Alan

I did some research on this myself 5-10 years ago.

From what I understand, you'll need to get a radio frequency isa/pci
card or USB device.  5 years ago, or so, I think there was only one
device which may/may not have had Linux drivers.
