I participated in the RTTY Round-Up.
Trouble with fldigi/R1CBU
I screwed around lots trying to get fldigi talking to the radio.
R1CBU software works great with wsjt-x,
but fldigi and flrig
completely failed to connect.
It wouldn’t key the radio.
Switching back to stock software on the radio worked fine with flrig,
but where’s the fun in that.
For flrig,
I could tell it
that it was an older version
of the radio (X5105?),
and it would key and set frequency,
but flrig wouldn’t read back the frequency
when updated at the radio.
I ultimately got fldigi talking to R1CBU
by using flcat with an xml file
for G106.
Then I could “tune” power output following
instructions in fldigi manual.
Working!
I started making some contacts on 10M and 15M.
It’s much more like voice contacts:
yelling back and forth on the same channel.
I’m using macros
and sticking to those for the contest.
They’re on the 3rd page of macros in fldigi.
I’ve made at least a few contacts, so I’ll submit them to the contest
