Ham Radio Digital Modes with Puppy

Easy download and install from W1HKJ here:

http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html

Worked the first time I tried under Puppy 2.14

Now I have to run a cable from my laptop to the radio so I may try it out live
and on the air!

Thank you to David Freese!

What, you don't have a wireless connection to your rig?

I have been unable to shake loose any response to my request for help with
my USB - Bluetooth adapter ... if that were working all kinds of wireless fun is
possible!

Hello Doc.
Tanks for the pointer to the ham radio site, when i have finished the magnetic
loops for the H.F. bands, i will give them a try.

Thanks for the link !
I have been looking for HAM programs for my Puppy since I get it up and running.

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.

I tried WINE with some success and know that others have done more.

I am trying to keep everything as Linux native as possible

I have fldigi loaded on my Puppy Linux 2.14 laptop. Am awaiting the arrival
of the USB-CAT cable to try it out with my FT-897D.

I also have gpsdrive and jlog loaded.

I am planning to try qsstv for analog and digital SSTV, an app to program
Icom IC-Q7A HT's, a psk31 app, and vxur ("receives data sent from a Vertex
Standard (Yaesu) VX-5R or FT-817/FT-857 transceiver in "clone" mode into
a yard/eve compatible file. vxuw writes a file into a transceiver in "clone"
mode.")

YAY !! 1 more Ham Radio user here,call sign is 2M0UFO
Thanks for the link
Someone should make a DotPup for this

Your http://ufo2005.homelinux.com/ link from http://www.qrz.com/callsign
is broken. You may want to check on that.

Some of the Ham apps have been made into PupGet or DotPups, most
have not. I lack the time and talent as we have been preparing to sell
our home and take a 6mo sabbatical (traveling the USA) then another
6mos to build a new http://monolithic.com home -- perhaps during
quiet time during our travels and construction I can finally master the
creation of DotPups!

My CT-62 (USB-CAT model) cable for my Yaesu FT-897D arrived today so
I now need to make time to test it!

Thanks for the heads up with my server,i'll get it sorted as soon as i get some spare time.

On another note i found some pet files from http://www.w1hkj.com/flpuppy.html which will make things a bit simpler:
http://www.w1hkj.com/fldigi.1.3.distro/ ... 3.i486.pet
http://www.w1hkj.com/fldigi.1.3.distro/ ... 0-i486.pet
http://www.w1hkj.com/fldigi.1.3.distro/ ... 0-i486.pet

OOPS! those are the same files HAHAHA

Thanks for the link to the ham software. I had already downloaded 2.15CE, and like it even better than 2.14.

Since then, I have added Open Office, and the digi files for the PSK program. I haven't tried them on the air, yet, but will as soon as I can get some time to mess with the cables to connect to my TS-2000.

I will probably re-do my puppy CD just to add the ham stuff, only.

BTW, are there any CW reading programs in Linux?

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

I have cwtrainer compiled for puppy. I can post it up after I finish the script I'm working on. It's on another machine and I have to go dig it up.

It's not a package, it's just the binary (only one file).

It requires QT libs, you can grab them with petmanager.

Just untar and run it (might need to set it executable).

we better be careful, we could end up with a whole new group, HamPuppies, K1STS/NNN0HRA. been using the fldigipup2.14 for a while now and loved it. i accidentally upgraded to 2.15CE, and running flawless so far. we need a pup master to start doin some ham pup'n. i am looking for xistar.pup, next on the list will be winlink2000 convert to puplink2000, lol...also forget Wine, virtualbox is a free open source version of VM Ware, GET THAT THING .pup'ed

I can not get the logbook to install correctly in 2.17.1 It ends up in ,packages,,,,and I don;t understand where to move the various files to have it work as it should.

I'd me more than happy to host whatever ham applications folks find/create at www.zerobeat.net

I see someone is thinking of sstv via wine. If someone has got it working with puppy I would like to know the puppy version and sstv program they are using.

I tried mmsstv out, downloaded it and it showed that wine was to run it but when I clicked on it nothing happened. If any one else has had success with this sstv software or another flavor please let me know. thanks

Folks,

I got my puplinux.3 installed on my Dell pentium II tower with liveCD and running superb! Is there any echolinux and eqsolinux available for puplinux.3 yet? Anyone tried NBEMS by W1HKJ yet?

More linuxham apps go to http://radio.linux.org.au

Tks n 73 de wyn, AB2QV.

You could try running echolink under WINE as WINE runs lots of things.

There is a pup for WINE - but also install WineTools which has installers for many programs.

I tried to contact W1HKJ about putting X-Chat in his Puppy CD with the Morse-Code plug in. I can't get the dependancies right for the plug in and there is no generic binary, just source code.

I have gotten "hf" working - it does AmTOR and other stuff. You have to edit the .sh fle script and comment out the routine at the top that closes down "hf" if it sees that root (superuser) is running the process. After I did that, it works like a charm.
