Spectrogram / Xoscope

Mike Markowski
Have any linux users gotten Xoscope to work?  It's at
http://xoscope.sourceforge.net/

When I built my K2 I had a laptop that dual-booted into Windows and
linux.  So I was able to reluctantly :-) boot into Windows to run
Spectrogram when needed.

My new army-issued laptop, however, is linux only (gentoo distribution),
so I need something like xoscope.  But I'm having font problems with
xoscope, in particular, text does not show up!  Before I spend time
troubleshooting I thought I'd see if any of our illustrious list members
have already been down that path.

Thanks!

Not tried xoscope (might go have a look) but I used "baudline" on
Ubuntu Linux to set up my K2.

get it from :-

http://www.baudline.com/

The only thing missing is user-settable frequency markers. It has
"waterfall", "spectrum" and "oscilloscope" displays.

Give it a try. If you have trouble let me know and I'll try to point
you at the setting I used.

Cheers,

Thanks, guys, for the helpful responses.  I'll give baudline a try.

And I enjoyed your note, too, Ron.  :-)

In reply to this post by Mike Markowski
I'm always puzzled why users would burden themselves
with LINUX machines?  At one point, back in my Unix
days - I had my PC booted with both Windows and Linux.
Of course that was 10 years back - but at that point,
I couldn't think of any reason to have Linux - aside
from the novelty of it.

Someone mentioned "army laptops" with unix.  Wow -
can't belive my old DOD counterparts would allow
Linux on a gov machine!  

Humor this retiree - but I don't like MAC
machines either.  I'd guess it is because one can
always find all sorts of freeware/shareware for
Windows machines - and far far less for the others.
I've decided to stick with the 97% side of the
mix.

Good luck

I thought this was way off-topic, so was going to reply off-list, then I
realised...

Quality, stability, efficiency, ability to understand how it works,
ability to fix stuff myself if it ever actually breaks, ability to work
my way, standard components, value-for-money, cheap add-ons, easy to
tweak to my own needs, fun to experiment with, great community, great
support, small, that's why I like Linux, and that's why I like Elecraft.

Big expensive mass-manufactured black-boxes that work THEIR way, poor
manuals, bad support, no realistic way to fix things without returning
to the manufacturer, nasty sealed hard-to-replace proprietary
components, BIIIG cost for something that really doesn't work so well,
expensive add-ons, expensive upgrade path, large, that's why I don't
like YaeComWood or Microsoft.

... yet in both cases, the "mass market" seems to previously have
favoured the closed, unmaintainable, expensive power-hungry option, but
both Linux and Elecraft are gaining in popularity, particularly among
experts in their field who know what they're doing, but increasingly
among day-to-day users too   :-)

Unfortunately Elecraft kit isn't FREE, or even "free plus packaging",
and initial set-up effort is much harder (but admittedly more fun) than
the black boxes, and the "Ikensu" boxes don't (as far as I know) hang
and crash regularly, or need re-installing frequently, so the analogy
had to break down somewhere   ;-)

And don't forget, the ability to understand Linuxese speech.
I have no clue what you guys are talking about, nor what the
instructions mean, on explaining a install application or using one.

Now Elecraft is printed in English. I can understand kitting
instructions alignment and finally, playing with the radio.

I have more fun with K1 than I would with Linux!

hooray for Elecraft!

But with a K2 + KIO2 you can have fun with both.

I also forgot:

YaeComWood/Microsoft: If anything goes too wrong, "reinstall from
scratch" seems to be the standard accepted solution, and for some reason
people seem to think that's acceptable. You stand no hope of fixing any
internal issues yourself.

Elecraft/Linux: Reinstalling from scratch is almost never considered an
acceptable solution to a problem, though admittedly some odd people find
it fun to start again from scratch just for fun, not because of any
problem. Chances are, even if you can't fix it yourself, you can get
someone else to. Also, any extra hacks you want to make, even if you
can't work out how to do them yourself, someone else has probably
published a "howto" on the net. If you DO make a decent fix to the
internals yourself, you can contribute it back to the community, and
your fix might even make it into the next version.

YaeComWood/Microsoft: Designed by big faceless corporations. You stand
almost zero chance of talking to someone who can make a difference.

Elecraft/Linux: Designed by human beings. Cool human beings. Dudes who
actually chat on the mailing-lists and frequently actually reply
personally to your questions.

YaeComWood/Microsoft: You probably first saw the latest product in a big
expensive glossy advert, surrounded by marketing hype, wooly on
technical details.

Elecraft/Linux: You probably first saw the latest product online, or in
a technical article in a magazine. The article probably said how great
it was, and how it's easy to outperform something that cost well over
twice as much.

YaeComWood/Microsoft: Mass-produced identically. You buy pre-built, no
other option.

Elecraft/Linux: You can build it yourself if you want, from scratch,
from a scary number of separate parts. It's quite technical, but quite
fun. There are clear step-by-step instructions you can follow. You
probably wouldn't recommend it to a total beginner. It'll give you a
great sense of achievement using something you built yourself.
Alternatively, you can pay someone else to build it for you, and they
don't usually charge a fortune.

Why do you insist on makeing statements that are not true?  Many problems with
widows, some of which are caused by third-party software and/or operator error
can be solved without resorting to "reinstall from scratch".

With your attitude, it's very likely no one would want to talk to you.

Tell that to many of the folks who are beta testers, or developers.

Re: Spectrogram / Xoscope - closing comment

Mike Markowski
Yikes.  Can I retract my original question?  I sure didn't mean for all
this to start...

Remember slide rules?  The vast majority of slide rule users learned it
well enough to get the job done.  But there was the minority of guys who
loved the tool as much or more than using it for work.  Hence, the speed
contests & ingenius ways of using scales to quickly solve certain
classes of problems.  Similarly, there are the stereo buffs more
interested in the stereo than the music it reproduces.  Or the car nuts
who have more fun tweaking their cars than going places in them.  And of
course, the hams...enough said!  :-)

Same deal with OSes, as far as I can see.  Linux and Windows users
approach computer use with two different mindsets, or needs.  Different,
not superior/inferior.  In my particular area of work (R&D within elec
engr & comp sci arena), the army has decided linux is superior for what
we do since we need to tinker with hardware & software often.  Business
types in the very same building, on the other hand, are almost
exclusively Windows users.  Their expertise lies elsewhere & the
computer is a tool for them, not a gadget to be played with.

So all our viewpoints are correct, just different.  Let's please get
back to ham things.  :-)  And thanks again for the very helpful advice
on linux apps early in the thread!

73,
Mike ab3ap

"CQ", "73", "QRZ?", "QSO", "Pounding Brass", "Silent Key", "Rig", "XYL", "LID",
"HI", etc., are all jargon, too.  :-)

Windows uses just as much jargon as Linux does. You just don't notice it
because you have learnt it and become accustomed to it.

Nick, I notice "Macafee" & "Symantec" in the first group, but no
equivalent words in the second...

Have you missed something from the Linux list...

 John 'SLV
=======================================================================
ASIDE for the *nix among us - I'm sitting at work, on a private network
that has a webproxy server to allow us minions access to the web. I've
used Putty to connect, using SSH via the company proxy server, to my
home network, where my ADSL router port-forwards me to my Linux desktop
machine. I can run terminal sessions/software directly or full graphical
VNC sessions by tunelling the VNC connection over the SSH connection.
This single SSH connection is also used to securely tunnel connections
to my mailserver at home, allowing me to run an email client - PCPine -
on my work machine and talk IMAP and SMTP to my mailserver at home, so I
can sit here and keep an eye on my email while I'm at work. I'm not
aware that this would be easy, or even possible, with windows machines.
Are there free ssh servers, IMAP and SMTP servers, DNS servers - all of
which I've got running at home, entirely for free? Even the OS itself is
free..!
The various machines are old cast offs - either 486's or P1 vintage
(except the main desktop which is a second hand P4/2.6GHz). Linux keeps
these old doorstops in a useful job!

Here are three roughly equivilent Linux terms for "Macafee AV" and
"Symantec/Norton AV"..
"F-Prot"
"RAV (Reliable Anti Virus)"
"Clam AV."

First it was the border wars between the Canada and the US and now we are
