Hallo,
I the Decoder Options I have the options None  or FT8 and below
FT8 Messages : Farthest: 0km
Is it possible to have a list of decoded Messages in FT8, FT4 ?

Set in .toml file:
audio_sps=12000

Also make sure the clock of your machine is synchronised with NTP.
Because if the time is wrong it won't decode anything.

Thank you
I have changed the value and I'm receiving the FT8 value
The character are big and on 2 lines
Maybe a smaller character andon just 1 line to have more spots ?

1.- Find in App.svelte this (line 4103):
class="flex justify-between items-center mb-3 text-sm"
                                    >
                                        <h4 class="text-white font-semibold">
                                            FT8 Messages

and change it with this:
class="flex justify-between items-center mb-3 text-xs"
                                    >
                                        <h4 class="text-white font-semibold">
                                            FT8 Message&nbsp;-&nbsp;

2.- Then in audio.js find this (line 790):
messageDiv.classList.add('glass-message', 'p-2', 'rounded-lg', 'text-sm', 'flex', 'justify-between', 'items-center');

and change it with this:
messageDiv.classList.add('glass-message', 'p-2', 'rounded-lg', 'text-xs', 'flex', 'justify-between', 'items-center');

You will receive this result:

Hello

I got different problem with FT8 decoded messages, they are almost ok, besides distance, which is far  far too far ;)

I got right grid set at frontend.
Anyone got that problem too ?

Did you set the grid BEFORE you compiled it? And did you set it in the TOML?

[websdr]
register_online=true # If the SDR should be registered on https://sdr-list.xyz then put it to true
name="Heppen Wideband Websdr" # Name that is shown on https://sdr-list.xyz
antenna="54m Longwire" # Antenna that is shown on https://sdr-list.xyz
grid_locator="JO21oc" # 4 or 6 length Grid Locater shown on https://sdr-list.xyz and for the Distance of FT8 Signals
hostname="http://websdr.heppen.be" # If you use ddns or something to host with a domain enter it here for https://sdr-list.xyz

As your SDR isn't listed either, I think you didn't change the TOML properly.

Hahahaha

Bas thank You!!! You are right about toml file.
Probably we need to meet soon for that beers to happen ;)
Anyway, our PhantomSDR+ webserver is still in building/testing phase at my desk.
After successfull tests,we will install it on site at our club SP2PUT.
Now it is working on RSP1 with short whip antenna - but working well on some bands.
I would like to test it with CUDA GPU - but have no riser PCI-E for host PC to do it - it will take some time to buy it.
I have made PhantomSDR working in Oracle Virtual Machine ;)

Why Cuda? OpenCL is more then fast enough, Cuda won't bring anything extra other then heat and more powerconsumption.

OpenCL and CUDA are just used to make the waterfall and do pre-processing, as long as they are not maxed there is no difference.

My Intel CPU with internal GPU has been tested and maxes at about 45MHz spectrum. And that is a very old Intel 6600T!!!

Unless you have a receiver that can deliver more then most USB3.0 can transfer, there is no reason to use anything more then old Intels that are meant for mobile/laptop use ;D

As for a virtual-machine, yes it will work, but at what cost? Most of us run it on Intel NUC's/HP Elitedesk bought for 200 euro or less.

And they consume not more then a laptop does ;D

why CUDA? ->> experimenting purposes ;)

Why Virtualization? ->> experimenting purposes ;)

One tiny PC as a HOST and two virtual machines , one as webserver PhantomSDR+ , and second as APRS IGate 
This Tiny PC is based on Intel i5 CPU / 32GB RAM / NVME DISK has 90W power adaptor - just like regular laptop ;)

Why do you need virtualization for that?

You can run them without the overhead. What you do now is simulating more machines and you waste a lot of CPU-cycles.

Running without is a lot easier.

My server runs a lot at the same time, Phantom is one of them.

You can do this all via Systemd and check PID's. Virtualization is overkill, you run that to run e.g. Windows beside Linux... ;D
 
Linux is designed to run multiple servers/programs at the same time, it's not Windows 8)

Nah Bas, it is not overkill, it is a kind of powersaving,
Host OS is Ubuntu, VM OS is also Linux, Ubuntu, Debian , depends on system needs
and NO WAY to use any "shwindows"
Having VMs is easier to maintain remote backups/snapshot/recovery etc.
Multiple services on one machine/OS makes a lot of problems when one of them is failing.

Yes it is overkill.

As there is no need to do it.

As you do not seem to understand systemd (replacement of Init V), you use VM's.

VM's are a waste of CPU-power. You seem to me pretty new to Linux/Unix.

Linux/Unix is not designed to go down over a simple mistake...Windows does. Linux does not.

As you think VM's are needed, you don't trust Linux or you do not know enough.

VM's are for hosting or running Windows on top of Linux. When running pure Linux software, VM's are overkill and not needed.

Who told you that you need VM's? I fact I hate VM's as you need to login every instance to check for problems, while without 1 command tells you all.

Do what you want, but people that think VM's are needed for a few Linux tasks are stupid in my book. Like I said before....Linux is NOT WINDOWS. :'(
