Flrig not working with FLdigi Waterfall runs SLOW then FAST then SLOW again

[ki4tjy-/[e-mail] [linuxham]]

Running fldigi v 3.21.83 and flrig 1.3.16 on a MacPro, 16GB RAM interfaced to an IC-756ProIII via microHam Digikeyer using a Radio Shack USB to Scanner cable for rig CIV.


Everything was working great. I tried to send a test message and no transmit. Clicked on flrig TUNE and it keyed the rig, clicked on flrig PTT and rig keys. Now I can't seem to get fldigi to key the rig at all to send message. I click on TUNE on fldigi and the waterfall shows the dark red line like it is keying the rig but nothing from the RIG. I can send a test message the waterfall show the message going out but no transmit / rig not keyed. There does not seem to be any communication between flrig and fldigi. I have XMLRPC checked. /dev/cu.usbserial-20-546 is set 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, echo, CIV-6E, PTT via CAT. I'm dead in the water now - what have I missed?


Noticed this morning during my morning net that fldigi waterfall would slow down to a crawl then quickly go into FAST mode for 2-3 seconds then back to Slow. Brought up the Activity Monitor and was trying to figure out what process was causing this phenomena. fldigi CPU time would go from 20-40% to 145% and number of idle wake ups would jump from 1,300 to 11,790 then back again. fldigi usually runs about 20% with 7,000 idle wake ups. Started shutting down other apps to try and determine if another app was causing this issue threads remained constant as expected. There are no signals being processed.

Well it is another day and try as I might I cannot get it to duplicate the problem. Was strange indeed. Now it transmits and the WF IS CONSTANT 1x.
Gremlins I suppose

Bruce, note necessarily. I have noted in the past that if the xmlrpc data is interrupted due to a program crash or exit the data in the pipe is still available when the program is restarted. This results in an incomplete data set being received and sometime leads to unexpected behavior. This was the primary reason for me asking you if the issue was related to a given OS runtime (between boots). Something to keep in mind next time you see the same issue.
