############## xpsk31 RUNTIME CONFIGURATION FILE: xpsk31rc ########## # # # PLEASE NOTE! In order to keep the parser for this file simple, # # the runtime configuration entries below must all be present and # # in the order presented, since they are all read-in in a fixed # # sequence. Blank lines or those starting with a # or white space # # are ignored. # # # # There are four sections, Sound card, xpsk31 Runtime, Operator and # # QTH and Macros fields. Please check ALL and EDIT as needed!! # # # ##################################################################### # ####### SOUND-CARD CONFIGURATION ####### # # Please look in /usr/include/soundcard.h # (search for SOUND_DEVICE_NAMES) to find valid device names. # # Mixer device: Default is /dev/mixer /dev/mixer # # Capture DSP device: Default is /dev/dsp /dev/dsp # # Playback DSP device: Default is /dev/dsp /dev/dsp ## # Audio capture/recording source: Default is line. # Alternative is usually mic or line1 etc. line # # Audio recording level device: Default is igain. # Alternative is usually reclev or rec. igain # # Recording/Capture level: Useful range ~10-100. Default is 50. # The correct value must be found by testing, see xpsk31.html. 70 # # Volume/PCM level: Useful range ~10-90. Default is 50. # The correct value must be found by testing, see xpsk31.html. 32 # # Sound card mode: (STEREO | MONO). My default is STEREO because # I have two sources (receivers) connected to the sound card. STEREO # # Channel in use by xpsk31: (LEFT | RIGHT). My default is RIGHT. # When in MONO mode, this field is ignored. On my system at # least, only the left channel works in MONO. RIGHT # ####### End of SOUND-CARD CONFIGURATION ####### # ####### xpsk31 RUNTIME CONFIGURATION ####### # # Squelch threshold: Useful range ~3-10. My default is 5. # Note that a zero setting will disable the squelch function 5 # # Steady tone duration in sec: Minimum is 1 sec. This is # the steady tone transmitted at the beginning and tail # end of a transmission (pre-amble and post-amble). 1 # # Number of reversals following and preceding the steady tone: # Default is 24. These phase reversals are part of the PSK31 # pre-amble and post-amble used for synching and squelching 24 # # Morse encoder speed in wpm: Default is 20 wpm 20 # # Transmit window word-wrap column: Default is 70 70 # # Serial port device for FT847 CAT: Default is /dev/tts/0 # IN MY SETUP! Please specify the serial port device you # intend to use for CAT control of your tranceiver. PLEASE NOTE: # CAT is available only for the YAESU FT-847 and FT857 which I own. # If you are using some other tranceiver, there is no need to edit # these entries BUT DO NOT ACTIVATE CAT as xfhell WILL ABORT! /dev/tts/2 # # MENU OPTIONS: Set default state of these pop-up menu options. # # Enable CAT for Yaesu FT847 transceiver (yes or no). # Setting is yes for whichever tranceiver you intend to use. # Otherwise make sure you specify no to avoid problems. no # # Serial port device for FT857 CAT: Default is /dev/tts/2 # IN MY SETUP! Please specify the serial port device you # intend to use for CAT control of your tranceiver. PLEASE NOTE: # CAT is available only for the YAESU FT-847 and FT857 which I own. # If you are using some other tranceiver, there is no need to edit # these entries BUT DO NOT ACTIVATE CAT as xfhell WILL ABORT! /dev/tts/1 # # Enable CAT for Yaesu FT857 transceiver (yes or no). # Setting is yes for whichever tranceiver you intend to use. # Otherwise make sure you specify no to avoid problems. no # # Enable auto-detection of transceiver. THIS OVERRIDES ABOVE SETTINGS # regarding which transceiver should be setup. The serial port entries # are still needed. no # # Serial port device for RTS line PTT control: Please specify the # serial port device you intend to use for tranceiver PTT control # via the RS232 port's RTS line. /dev/tts/1 # # Enable RTS line control for PTT On during transmission (yes or no). no # # Record QSO's (raw) to file (yes or no). Default is yes yes # # Capitalize letters in Transmit and Receive windows. # (yes or no). Default is yes yes # ####### End of xpsk31 RUNTIME CONFIGURATION ####### # ####### OPERATOR AND QTH INFORMATION ####### # # All fields are required, if any are missing there will be errors. # All fields MUST be edited!! # ####### End of OPERATOR AND QTH INFORMATION ####### # # Callsign: Maximum 14 characters allowed. !!USE CAPITAL LETTERS!!

There can be a # maximum of 9 entries which will be bound to the function keys # F1-F9 in that order. Any number of entries up to 9 are allowed # but the format is fixed in order to keep the parser simple: # # Each entry starts with a line which contains a label, enclosed # in [ ] square brackets, to be shown in the PSK31 menu of # keystroke commands. A maximum of 18 characters are allowed # within the square brackets. PLEASE NOTE that [ or ] must not # appear in the message text for obvious reasons! # # Each label is followed by the message to be transmitted in lines # of a maximum of 80 characters, although it is probably better to # limit lines to less than 70 characters for clarity. Blank lines # and lines starting with a # or white space are ignored. # # Lines ending with a tilde ~ signify that xpsk31 should remain in # transmit mode so that text can be appended to the macro manually, # e.g. signal report, name etc. The up arrow ^ signifies that a # 'new-line' signal should be sent before the text. The asterix # sign * at the end of a line signifies that the station callsign # must be sent in Morse code (CW identitiy). # # PLEASE NOTE that ^, ~ and * must not appear in the message text # for obvious reasons! # ##### Tags in Macros ##### # # xpsk31 has a limited tag replacement ability, e.g. there are 12 # different tags that can be entered in the macros and these will # identified and replaced with suitable values during operation: # # "Local information" tags, e.g. relating to the operator of xpsk31. # "Remote information" tags, e.g. relating to the remote operator. # # All tags must be enclosed in <> similar to HTML tags. The following # tags are currently recognized: # # <own-call> <own-name> <own-qth> <own-loc> <own-rst> # <rem-call> <rem-name> <rem-qth> <rem-loc> <rem-rst> # <date-time> <op-freq> # # They will be replaced during macro transmission with the following # values respectively: # # Local Operator's call, name, QTH, QTH locator and RST report. # Remote Operator's call, name, QTH, QTH locator and RST report. # Current UTC date and time, the operating frequency. # # # PLEASE NOTE: All but the RST report values for the Local operator # are taken from the OPERATOR AND QTH INFORMATION block in this file. # All other values are taken from the QSO Record fields, under the # Receive window, as it is filled. A partially filled QSO record is # still usable since values become available as they are entered but # please note that empty fields are entered as null (blank) strings # in place of the tags! # # Macro for F1 # [CALL CQ de YOURCALL] ^CQ CQ CQ de <own-call> <own-call> <own-call> CQ CQ CQ de <own-call> <own-call> <own-call> CQ CQ CQ de <own-call> <own-call> <own-call> pse KKK # # Macro for F2 # [CALLSIGN & HELLO] ^<rem-call> <rem-call> de <own-call> <own-call> Hello dr <rem-name> and tks for your call ~ # # Macro for F3 # [RST/NAME/QTH/QSL] ^Your RST: <rem-rst> <rem-rst> <rem-rst> My name: <own-name> <own-name> Op model 1948 vintage ;-) = Licensed: 1972 My QTH: <own-qth> <own-qth> My Loc: <own-loc> <own-loc> QSL is OK via bureau or direct ~ # # Macro for F4 # [KEYBRD BTU/CALLS] ^Now keys BTU dr <rem-name> <rem-call> <rem-call> de <own-call> <own-call> pse KKKN # # Macro for F5 # [HIS CALL/MY CALL] ^<rem-call> <rem-call> de <own-call> <own-call> ~ # # Macro for F6 # [MY STATION INFO] ^My station info: Rig: YOURRIG o/p 50W Ant: ANTENNA 30-160m, ANTENNA 10-30m Computer: YOUR COMPUTER Mem: 1Gb Sound SOUND O/S: Linux Software: Home-brew <app-version> ~ # # Macro for F7 # [FINAL & SIGN-OFF] ^My tks for a nice PSK31 QSO dr <rem-name>.
