I compiled a copy of this application for FC4 and it looks perfect.
But when I tried to use it it does not get any signal from the speaker

radio to the computer is not there. I recall others complaining about this.
Is your soundcard set to full duplex?
I do not think so. Here is what I did and it works! On the Volume
Control there are little X that you can put over a speaker or a
microphone and there is a chain looking thing you can leave and both
levers move together or you can break the chain and they are seperate.
Now I started to just fool with these things with gMFSK running and
after beaking a chain it started to work! I saw signals from the radio.
I wrote down all the settings and even took a picture of the thing. I
talked back east from NM and it's working fine.
Thanks for the full-duplex idea! That is what the problem was.

So you can send and receive if
you're using sound out / microphone in at once? The default is half
duplex and an upgrade would set it like that. I think... that sounds
like your problem. Note: full duplex will eat up some cpu. I use KDE so
going into control center and editing the sound setup is where I would
change the duplex option. Hope that helps.
ONE DAY, when I retire to a sailboat, I'll want to understand how
boaters use radio to send / recieve email html, etc. Is there a good
website you'd recommend? Ric
