The PSK_arq system consists of a client and a server. The client software consists of: ================================ PSK_arq.pl The GUI... PSKmail.glade The XML specification of the GTK2 GUI rflinkclient.pl The client arq machine arq.pm Function module containing the primitives (common to server and client) gmfsk_arq A slightly hacked version of gmfsk-0.6, enabling arq mode. Install: ======== 1: Install gmfsk-0.6 from your distribution -> it normally installs into /usr/local/bin 2: Copy the special binary over the gmfsk binary. This way you are sure all support files are at their normal place. First make a backup of the original: mv /usr/local/bin/gmfsk /usr/local/bin/gmfsk_original cp gmfsk_arq /usr/local/bin 3: Make a directory ~/mail 4: Copy the client software into the ~/mail directory cp PSK_arq.pl ~/mail cp rflinkclinet.pl ~/mail cp arq.pm ~/mail cp PSKmail.glade ~/mail 5: Install the missing perl modules * perl-5.8 itself... * Gtk2 -init * Gtk2::GladeXML * Glib * IO::Handle You get the missing perl modules from CPAN You may also have to install GTK2, Glib etc.... 1st Run: ======== Start gmfsk as usual. AFC on, PSK63, 1000 Hz. Adjust audio levels for good rx/trx. See the gmfsk manual for operating instructions. Test the arq_facility: ====================== cd ~ (your home directory) echo "test arq" > gmfsk_autofile Gmfsk should now send the string. Start the GUI ============= cd ~/mail ./PSK_arq.pl Set the parameters ================== click on 'Options' button Enter Your Call, The call of the server, the blocklength index (3-6, default 5), Latitude and Longitude of your location. Click o.k. The client is now ready for use.
