Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Is anyone running LP-Bridge under Windows 10?
The site looks like development stopped early in Windows 8.

TIA es 72 Byron

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Not on Win 10, but I used LPB2 under Win 8.1 for quite some time. Worked fine.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

it does not do unicode, so is not supported by many of the newer programs,
Shame as it was a nice utility..

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Hi
Win4k3 has a built in equivalent to lpbridge and it supports Unicode.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

In reply to this post by Byron Peebles

LP-Bridge should run fine under W10. We were running LP-Bridge under W10
at our booth at Dayton along with NaP3 and CW Skimmer. It is true that
LP-Bridge does not support Unicode, which is mainly an issue with newer
versions of HRD which now use Unicode. I haven't heard any feedback
about Unicode incompatibilities from users other than HRD. We have a
warning at the top of our LP-Bridge web page about HRD / Unicode. I will
add other programs to the warning if I know what they are. Unicode
support is on our to do list, but there are other things higher in the
queue.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Hi Larry,

Please let me know when Unicode is supported as I get asked quite often by
K3 users that use HRD and were using LP-Bridge to run PTT lines with WSJT

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Hi
I think a more accurate description of what is missing in lpbridge is the inability to use the DS and IC commands on the k3,kx3 and k3s.
These commands require an 8 bit character set, hence Unicode.
The lack of support for the ic and ds commands prevents decoding of k3 status for many functions. In addition, almost all menu items can't be decoded.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

But it allows my logging program(s) to read the K3 and K3S frequency and my
SDR-IQ to track the K3s. And it's free.

Why should I complain?

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

I think LP-Bridge will work just fine with most ham applications, but
currently, it will not work with HRD which uses Unicode.
Larry is working to allow Unicode with LP-Bridge, but it is not there yet.

As I understand it, this is not really a Windows 10 issue, it is an HRD
issue. If you use HRD version 5, you will not encounter a problem.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Don,
If all that is required is a port replicator, I'd suggest com0com.
It works quite well over Windows 10 with HRD and all the other software
that I use. It's free from Source Forge and a few other sources.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Hi Barry,
No, com0com is a software null modem cable used to connect two pieces of software via a virtual port pair. It has no logic for operating a k3. The reason it works for you is that you are using Win4k3Suite, which has a built in router that performs k3 command routing. win4k3 has functionality that replaces lpbridge, and it uses com0com only as a connector.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

I'm thinking Win4k3Suite isn't supported anymore. All of the video links on
their site are dead.

Is anyone using Ham Radio Deluxe and is willing to share any customizations
? I'm about to delve into that and don't want to re-invent the wheel if
someone has already done a bunch of it.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Jer,

Win4K3suite is alive and well, and unless something has happened in the
last few days, Tom va2fsq is actively supporting it.
In fact, that is the same Tom who answered about using comOcom earlier
this morning.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Oops.. I just thought it was dead because all of the videos are dead links
and the youtube channel appears to have been deleted.

I currently own the Ham Radio Deluxe suite. I was looking at using the
Win4k3 to replace the radio control part and use the rest of HRD. I'm
wondering if it would be best to customize HRD or go with Win4k3? I'm still
researching things. At this point I'm looking to modify the HRD radio
control interface (it's highly modifiable) but it's really a daunting task.
The interface is ok but too busy. I was hoping to hear from other hams how
they use/modify HRD..etc..

I don't want to get buried too far in projects that keep me off the air but
don't mind the occasional distraction.

At the end of it all I may end up using Win4k3 if I am not able to get HRD
to do what I want. I'm not sure how to properly leverage HRD as I seem to
operate primarily in the logging software which includes the DX cluster. I
see the Radio control screen as mainly a place to setup and store
configurations per band/mode/situation(DX/contest..etc) than something to
run full time. Maybe I'm missing something ?

One thing I'm considering is to remote my rig to my shop. Then I could have
a tower in the back yard without long feedlines (that contribute to signal
loss). Slowly looking at that. The Raspberry Pi hardware looks perfect as
the bridge platform.

Jer,

Win4K3suite is alive and well, and unless something has happened in the last
few days, Tom va2fsq is actively supporting it.
In fact, that is the same Tom who answered about using comOcom earlier this
morning.

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

Win4k3 is alive and well....
I had to remove my account from YouTube since it was hijacked.
There will be new videos soon.

Hi Tom,
I was aware of that. However, I inferred he wasn't doing what we do
and all he needed was some simple interconnection. BTW, what's the next
iteration?

Re: Windows 10 and LP-Bridge

In reply to this post by ae4pb

Jerry,
I have Win4K3 running with HRD and CW Skimmer, and some times, a few
other things. I would argue that you do not want to give up the
spectrum display with waterfall. Experience here has shown just how
valuable it can be. Marrying up Win4K3 with HRD as I infer you are
suggesting would disallow having the spectrum display. I have HRD as a
logging program with the add window open as well as a connection to one
of the DX clusters, but I have Win4k3's clublog window taking spots from
Skimmer, also. I usually don't miss DX opportunities this way. However,
while contesting, I will run N1MM+ as a substitute for HRD with a
connection to my Winkeyer. The total lash up can be a little complex,
but it is effective and smooth.

As an aside: I think I would put up the tower and run transmission
lines to the shack if the run was less than about 200 feet. Good, low
loss cable is expensive these days, but it would represent a much lower
level of effort than you are suggesting, and possibly cheaper in the
end.

I'm not sure to what you are referring about being busy. If it is
Win4K3, you can run the interface window such that it has less showing,
but the spectrum display stays as before; it's a setting.

To demonstrate how well all of this works I now have DXCC, mixed,
phone, and CW with an endorsement for 150 mixed, And, all of this was
done with just a KX3, KXPA100, and a few wires in the back yard.

73,
Barry

Cannot for the life of me consider leaving DX Labs Suite. It just works, k3 control, logging, cluster, propogation and so forth.
Well supported and I like free.
No offence to those who supply/sell/support other platforms.
Choice in the market is great.
Back to Dx-Ing on the k-line

Oops.. I just thought it was dead because all of the videos are dead links
and the youtube channel appears to have been deleted.

I currently own the Ham Radio Deluxe suite. I was looking at using the
Win4k3 to replace the radio control part and use the rest of HRD. I'm
wondering if it would be best to customize HRD or go with Win4k3? I'm still
researching things. At this point I'm looking to modify the HRD radio
control interface (it's highly modifiable) but it's really a daunting task.
The interface is ok but too busy. I was hoping to hear from other hams how
they use/modify HRD..etc..

I don't want to get buried too far in projects that keep me off the air but
don't mind the occasional distraction.

At the end of it all I may end up using Win4k3 if I am not able to get HRD
to do what I want. I'm not sure how to properly leverage HRD as I seem to
operate primarily in the logging software which includes the DX cluster. I
see the Radio control screen as mainly a place to setup and store
configurations per band/mode/situation(DX/contest..etc) than something to
run full time. Maybe I'm missing something ?

One thing I'm considering is to remote my rig to my shop. Then I could have
a tower in the back yard without long feedlines (that contribute to signal
loss). Slowly looking at that. The Raspberry Pi hardware looks perfect as
the bridge platform.
