[NR] and [NB] light in wfview panel

Another small feature request: add a [NR] and [NB] LED to the display on wfview (both client and server)

nb/nr controls are also on the list of enhancements.

yep, i can access both on the ShuttlePro. just be nice to have an indicator on screen. :wink:

New wfview user here - and new IC-7200 owner as well.

Nice-to-haves for this rig would be NR/NB/ANF toggles, and making the Filter/Setup selection work.

I’d be glad to help test beta builds as well as doing some coding if needed (long-time background in software engineering).

At any rate, great program. I’m having fun with it.

It’s available in V2. You need to either use the Linux build script or be comfortable with developing under windows to try it currently.

Got the fullbuild script from Github, ran it on two separate systems (both Mint 21.2) and the version is showing as 1.65. Did I get the wrong script?

You need to supply an argument to the script to tell it what branch to build.

Try the argument “creator-widgets”.

Did that. Got me v1.94.

The NR/NB and other buttons are grayed out. Also lost the S meter and ability to PTT - either from the RC-28 or the Transmit button on the main window itself.

Reverting back to 1.65 fixed that issue but the grayed-out buttons disappeared.

When you were in 1.94, did the correct radio model show up in the lower-right corner of wfview?

What radio were you using? If it is the 7200 we likely have not written a complete rig file for this one yet.

No it did not, and yes…was a 7200. I thought about trying my hand at creating a radio file but was unsure of syntax or how to go about using the Rig Creator tool.

I will try to create one and will push it to creator-widgets

I have created an IC7200 rig file and added most of the commands available, please try pulling creator-widgets and rebuild/install it.

Obviously I haven’t been able to test this as I don’t own an IC7100 :slight_smile:

Tried the build.

A few observations:

  • The program doesn’t poll the radio on startup, so the active VFO frequency isn’t read in. It’s 00.000.000.
  • Filter selection buttons are nice.
  • NR/NB buttons work. One for ANF would also be handy.
  • Transmit button works
  • Tune button does not, even with “Enable ATU” selected
  • A pop-out set of sliders (Twin PBT, MNF, Filter Width) would be really good to have - such as in 1.65

Great progress.

Hi Fred.

I based the rig on the 7100, but the 7200 doesn’t support the enhanced commands for getting/setting frequency and mode, and I forgot to add the older method. That’s now added. Tune should now work.

The pop-out sliders for PBT width etc. should be available by clicking the < at the end of the button bar under the frequency display. Please let me know if that doesn’t work as I haven’t tried it with radios that don’t have a scope!

Built the latest. Buttons now work, TX and Tuner functions work, frequency read in on startup.

Without digging into the code: What are you doing with the slider definitions via the rig files? Setting a base class then overloading with definitions via each profile, perhaps?

If so…the IF Shift on this rig should be turned into a Manual Notch Filter control and the Filter Width control made to work (which I thought it was in 1.65, albeit the Filter Selection drop-downs weren’t).

In a similar vein, the 'IP+" function isn’t implemented on a 7200. Maybe redefine it to ANF On/Off? And not sure what the “DS” button (grayed out) is for but maybe AGC Fast/Slow toggle?

Thanks for the work you’ve done on this. If I can be of any help, I’d be glad to assist.

DS is the digisel that some rigs have, like the 7610, 785x and 7760

Not related to the NR/NB issue, but something I just ran into this afternoon. Can create a separate thread about it if desired:

Built and installed 1.9x (this morning’s build) on a tablet using the creator-widgets argument against the build script. This tablet was originally at 1.65 run against a 1.65 server - no issues. These are both 64-bit Linux Mint (21.3) systems.

With the latest wfview…as soon as I establish a connection to the server, both it and the client-side wfview crash.

Hi Fred,

What exactly are you running for the server?

We appreciate the reports.

Elliott,

Both OSes are Linux Mint 21.3 (64 bit). Both client and server versions of wfview are 1.94, built this morning via the “creator-widgets” argument against the build script. Picked up Phil’s new IC-7200 profile that way.

Hi Fred.

The current creator-widgets code has received limited testing on the server side, especially with non-scope radios, so it is quite possible that I have broken something!

If the crash is consistent, it should be easy enough for me to diagnose, I will dig out my IC-7100 and give it a go.
