A new Hamlib backend for the ADAT ADT-200A

Dear fellow OMs!

I have been busy the last few days creating a new Hamlib backend for the ADAT ADT-200A transceiver.

This transceiver is the best one currently available for a hobbyist budget. I really can recommend this TRX for any ambitious radio amateur. A missing piece was the support of Hamlib for the ADT-200A. Well, Winter holidays are a perfect time to just sit down and implement this - so I did.

The software will be released in a few days ... Just for a teaser here's a screenshot of an interactive session with rigctl (the control application of Hamlib):

Terminal session on Mac OS X, connected to an ADAT ADT-200A via Hamlib 1.2.14
The session shows that there is a ADT-200A with Serial Nr 1004079 connected that has loaded Firmware version 1.36bg (This firmware version will soon be released - please be patient - final testing is happening these days).

Huge thanks go to Hans, HB9CBU, the inventor of the ADAT ADT-200A. OM Hans helped me answer endless questions and always was very prompt in responding to emails. It is a real joy to work with him!

Yeah ! A few more days and we see a lot more functions implemented.

Keep you posted.

SLIME, Lisp, Editing - the lost slime-close-parens-at-point

Once upon a time there was a rich SLIME version that had all bateries included in a few files. Now this old, old version is long gone. The Powers Of SLIME deleted the function slime-close-parens-at-point whose use and benefit is described in this blog post of Bill Clementson . For those requiring this exact feature here's the original code of that function: (setq slime-close-parens-limit 16) (defun slime-close-parens-at-point () "Close parenthesis at point to complete the top-level-form. Simply inserts ')' characters at point until `beginning-of-defun' and `end-of-defun' execute without errors, or `slime-close-parens-limit' is exceeded." (interactive) (loop for i from 1 to slime-close-parens-limit until (save-excursion (slime-beginning-of-defun) (ignore-errors (slime-end-of-defun) t)) do (insert ")"))) In addition to putting this in my .emacs file I have also the following line in it: (define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "

Compiling ACE+TAO on Mac OS X

So, what's ACE+TAO? It's big, it's complex, it's middleware! See more info at http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html and at http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO.html . In trying to compile ACE 5.7.5 and TAO 1.7.5 on my Mac OS X 10.5.8 system I encountered some strange error messages while linking. These were duplicate symbol errors I couldn't really track down to their root cause but was able to find simple cures. For those poor souls also hitting those faults the following list of changes may help: File $ACE_ROOT/ace/Based_Pointer_Repository.h File $ACE_ROOT/ace/Obstack.h Re 1. : File $ACE_ROOT/ace/Based_Pointer_Repository.h I had to comment out the ACE_SINGLE_DECLARATION on lines 82 to 84: /* - frgo, 2010-01-03 /// Declare a process wide singleton ACE_SINGLETON_DECLARE (ACE_Singleton, ACE_Based_Pointer_Repository, ACE_SYNCH_RW_MUTEX) */ Re 2. : File $ACE_ROOT/ace/Obstack.h I had to comment out the ACE_SINGLE_DE

Aloha! Wow - I always refused to have a blog. Now, well, here it is - my own blog. I don't know yet how frequently I will post or what the posts will be about. So, this is the all-in-one-you-must-have-a-blog first post. There's some other places I can be found:  USENET newsgroup comp.lang.lisp - watch out for posts from "frgo". On the ether: I enjoy doing Ham Radio. If you listen carefully on the 20m band (14.000,00 kHz to 14.350,00 kHz) you might hear me under my callsign DG1SBG. I am also QRV on 145.450 MHz in the VHF band in FM. You have to be close to my locator JN48rn though to hear me - it's VHF after all. Hope to CU! Yours truly - frgo.
