Hi Ron,

Currently this isn't saved to a file but you can view the console output on Windows by going to Tools->Options->Debugging and checking "Show Console". You should be able to copy the contents of the resulting window to the clipboard and save it off using Notepad or another text editor.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes, I do have that console display however (at least on my Win 10 machine), none of the mouse functions work such as right click, select all, etc.  Even using the mouse to highlight the lines I want does not work.  I can highlight lines but there is no way to select them.

Interesting, for me I can right-click on the titlebar of the console window and choose Edit->Select All (and then do so again to select Copy). What was the problem report you were going to submit? I'm wondering if that's related to this particular issue.

Hi,

Yea, call me brain dead 😳.   I was wrapped around the axle about not being able to right click in text area.  Right clicking on the title bar does bring up the menu. 

Thanks for your help. 

P.S. the bug report I want to submit has to do with how FreeDV interfaces with SDR host applications when selecting Kenwood TS-2000 in Hamlib settings.  WSJT-X works fine but FreeDV does not.  Now, the issue is probably with my SDR host application but FreeDV is definitely doing things a bit differently from WSJT-X and I need to understand what I need to change in my SDR host application.

Ron,

 

I have found that with the later versions of HamLib, that some applications that I have used TS-2000 for decades, don’t always work, and I have to use TS-480 instead.

 

Sorry for not following the whole thread here, but which radio are you using?

 

Hope that helps,

Walter/K5WH

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the info.  I will give TS480 a go.

OK,  the SDR host application I'm using is custom written application that supports our radio(s) (Multus SDR, LLC) and is called MSCC.  I when I wrote MSCC, the CAT/PTT section of the application was modeled on what WSJT-X sends using TS-2000.  WSJT-X actually sends and responds to a very limited set of the TS-2000 commands.  It appears FreeDV is sending a bit more and my application is not responding to the commands therefore FreeDV is timing out on those commands.  As I mentioned this probably on me to fix the issues on my side.  One thing that really confused me is FreeDV is sending KS and KY commands.  Apparently these have to do with the TS-2000 keyer which makes no sense to me why these are being sent.

Probably more info that you wanted 😉😉.

Hi Walter,
TS-480 works but FreeDV is slow to key up the rig.  I think I see a couple of commands being sent that MSCC does recognize.  I will address these commands in my application
Thanks,

That should say " I think I see a couple of commands being sent that MSCC does NOT recognize"

Hello,
With the help of Mooner,  I have MSCC working very well with FreeDV.  MSCC was modified to handle all the commands hamlib is sending to it.  I have made one QSO so far.  Hopefully this mode will see a bit uptick in usage.
