Ham Radio Digital Modes with Puppy
Now, if we could just wean a few smart Ham's from win to puppy, we would start rolling.. CQ-DX puppy
- echolink works under wine, but needs cpu power & RAM + mic drivers.
- Log progs, depends on your needs...
- cat progs... need to run wine, cpu power & RAM
sstv, rtty, amtor, packet... general progs for ham modes ... well I don't know...
It would be great if some ham brains got interested in puppy,
as puppy's footprint is small and fast, leaves room for ham progs
73's to all

Hi maddox,
I've been sending links to my Cuban amigo Prof. Arnaldo Coro for months as he can't access this forum due to the US embargo.
I would very much appreciate if someone could package the ham info so I could send Arnie the forum information for the Cubans to use.
If you are not aware of Prof. Arnaldo Coro..he is a world renowned ham/emergency ham teacher.(google it..also Arnie Coro)
I have provided Puppy Linux for hams to the Cubans from this link http://puppylinux.ca/puppyfiles/custom/EMCpup/
Now it's time for the Cubans to have a voice here on the forum..alas they don't have access. I have no political incentive here...just a bridge for users that need Puppy...and they ARE using Puppy.

Are you sure that it's not an embargo placed by the ISP that hosts this forum or the owner? For a long time Arnie could not post to the QRP-L mailing list due to a ban placed by the domain owner, but after a lot of complaints from list members, he can now post.Caneri wrote:Hi maddox,

Last time I saw him post, Arnie is using an older version of EMCpup.
That's good, as the author of EMCPup doesn't keep older versions of the software available for download.Caneri wrote: I have provided Puppy Linux for hams to the Cubans from this link http://puppylinux.ca/puppyfiles/custom/EMCpup/
I don't know much about ham radio, but isn't this the sort of software that would be useful?

Hi Caneri, muggins, djringjr and all the other HAM's out there in puppy-land..
@Caneri, thanks for the great hosting...
@muggins, thanks for the compile time, and the supplied link info.
I'll try out echolinux and the other software, will keep you posted.
off-topic:
Wow, puppy unleashed, gives a whole new meaning to that word...
puppy through a Transmitter, long-wire, ether, internet, puppy..
- Virtual-puppy or teleportation ?
on-topic:
yes, it would be great if some HAM's could package their progs for puppy.
I think that the HAM programmers learnt the win coding thing, and aren't convinced (learning curve) about puppy.
Also limited knowledge, specific programming tools-info in puppy-linux seem missing

This is a bit different. Its about hamradio voip. I try to use echolink and eqso over linux. Some hams used ubuntu 7.10 to run echolink and eqso successfully. I have ubuntu. But I want to keep a low profile by using puplinux 3.01 on my two pcs (one notebook and one tower). Dingo, Erikson and Bruce have given me some tips with wine and its opengl. I have successfully downloaded, installed and used wine 0.9.58 and opengl 7.2 on puplinux 3.01 tower to run echolink and eqso. I was able to listen (rx) only. But the sound quality was too much treble, sharp or narrow than the sound produced by windows. Also I couldn't use my working mic (no response or no tx). Linux sound mixer couldn't help to adjust my audio the way I like. Any suggestion to find a better sound mixer for puplinux 3.01? Appreciate it. Thanks!

This is the link to How to install Wine to PupLinux: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27963.
I request to anyone in charge or maybe Murga if he can transfer above topic or forum under Beginners to How to forum. I try to find linux native application of echolink and eqso if there is. Meanwhile I use Wine to interface those hamradio voip apps. But no luck with sound quality and mic. Any tip would be appreciated it. Thanks and 73 de wyn, ab2qv.

Would you care to elaborate on the expected effects of this, as it seems there are other convergances occurring then , too
.....Quite apart from all the big brother paranoia stuff!

Hi BobGood luck in sunspot cycle 24, peaking in 2012. Get your stuff ready, now.

Echolink in Puppy
I had difficulty getting Echolink to run under Wine 9.54 in Puppy 3.01. I was able to receive audio, but couldn't transmit any. It looked like PTT wasn't working completely - transmit audio level meter jumping erratically when using the ECHOTEST server and nothing coming back.
There is a Linux answer to Echolink: QTel (QT Echolink), and it's available here:
http://svxlink.sourceforge.net/
I believe I used the Debian binary, and there may be a newer version at packages.debian.org. I use stuff from "lenny", now, rather than "etch".
The only hangup I had, after hunting down all the dependencies, was using the right version of libsigc++, as mentioned in the installation section. It pays to read carefully.
It's not as flashy as the Windows Echolink, but it works!

vx5 commander/wine/Puppy
Actually, I have vx-5 commander working in wine on Debian, but read only. Haven't figured out how to write back to the device. Some sort of serial port usb cable issue.iang wrote:Interesting to find some ham radio Puppy users.
There's a real shortage of ham radio software for Linux. Has anyone tried using Wine & WIndows based software?
Contest loggers, rig control software, propagation software etc. There's a lot of shareware based programmes in Windows, but very little on Linux.
Iang, aka G4FSU
Also got my icom pcr-100 working in Ubuntu/wine.
So it is possible.
Would use Linux equivalents if they were out there!

It seems a bit late for the addition of category linux/puppy &ham geeks,
isn't it?
Put the skates on lads, there's some catching up to do - and if Microsh*t has their way we'll have no internet to use, so ham will become the new backbone for 'free' communication

fldigi with RigCAT on eeePC with Puppy
I have fldigi on a USB memory stick up and running on my eeePC. I want to control my ICOM 703 using a RigExpert Tiny, which uses an FTDI chip to interface between USB and the ICOM CI-V interface.
Under Puppy, the USB drivers are /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 and /dev/usb/ttyUSB1.
I have been editing the RigCAT .xml file for the 703 without success. (After editing, I place it in "root" with the name ".fldigi.xml")
Other than changing the name of the driver in the XML file, what else should I be doing? Obviously, the XML files were written under the assumption the interface would be a TTY Com port. Can I just change a few more lines of XML, or is it a big deal?

There was a derivative of puppy called "DigiPup" based upon 2.16. I have a copy that is currently gathering dust. I am wondering if it would be possible to interface my pc with my ICOM IC-28 using the sound card? However, I supposed I would have to try to install Fldigi and Geoid onto Puppy 3.01 (I am using derivative ChurchPup). I suppose I can check the grafpup site to see if there is either a pup or pet file. I will check and let everyone know.

Yes, I know, I have a California call and I live in Washington, blame the Navy. However, I don't plan to change it either.
Five minutes later:
You can find listings for fldigi, geoid, and logbook at:
http://www.w1hkj.com/flpuppy.html
They were all pet files. However, they don't appear to be there anymore. Will keep looking.

I've got a few files here

Look under EMCpup
Hope there is a use as I want to keep the older stuff.

EDIT: Does anyone know how to contact EMCpup's maker? I would like to post a link to his site on my pages at puppylinux.ca
pm me if you have a contact for EMCpup.
