[hpsdr] No RX at start; OK after MOX, TUNE

[Mike Schwendeman]

Good day;

     In the last couple weeks, I sometimes am seeing a new "feature" in 
my piHPSDR:  When I first turn the radio and the PI on, I have no RX 
display or audio.  To resolve this, I tap the MOX or any other similar 
action, which sets the radio to TX mode; A second tap returns me to RX 
mode, and the RX is now normal for the duration of the session.  This is 
a seldom-seen thing, so it is just a point of interest.

     I see this on BOTH of my piHPSDR units.  I had done a PA-CAL at 
_possibly_ the same time as this seldom-happening "new feature" first 
showed up.  -Is this small annoyance related to my PA-CAL action?  I am 
mostly using an Ethernet connection from the piHPSDR unit to a Gigabyte 
A/P-switch by TP-Link.  My ANAN-100 is hooked to this same network, not 
directly to the same switch that the ipHPSDR is hooked to, but all are 
on the same LAN.

     When I am going to use the radio, I normally hit the power switch 
on the PI, then turn my ANAN-100 on, as the PI is booting. In a few 
seconds, I have the desktop, so I double-click the piHPSDR app on the 
desktop.  The app loads, I see the IP of the radio via Ethernet, and so 
I click click connect.  It is at this point that SOMETIMES the app will 
show no RX activity and I will also have no RX audio.  (-Tap the MOX or 
TUNE to first go to TX mode, and a second tap to return to RX mode, and 
all is well and good.)

     I am wondering if anyone has ever seen this.  -Also, it is strange 
that I see this same thing with BOTH of my piHPSDR units! -Was the 
PA-CAL action the contributing factor?  (Is there some data that is 
stored in the ANAN radio?)  In my case, the common item is "all that is 
not the piHPSDR unit."  I have considered reloading my firmware, which 
is 3.1b, as far as I can recall.

     Last item:  I am running "Version: V1.1.3-beta" as reported on the 
PI screen.  Is there a later, newer version of this app?  This version 
works nicely and is more stable than my earlier versions, but things 
such as a COMPANDER, PURE SIGNAL and a RECORD-PLAYBACK would nicely 
round out this very successful unit.  It is OK as-is, and I do not feel 
a high need, actually.  I am amazed at how well this unit works.  (Thank 
you, MELTON!!)

     Thank you and 73!!  Mike, K0JTA
