Hi Hartmut,
Thanks for the report - well I seriously doubt sending the report to MS will help.. :o)

Before crash, can you look at the "buffer usage" indicator in the lower right corner ? Under normal conditions, it shouldn't go above 50 %. After the 3rd output line, the WOLF core starts some "deep thinking" during which the audio input is written into a large buffer. How large the buffer needs to be, depends on the CPU speed - and up to now I have only estimated the size from a few trial runs.

GN all,
  Wolf DL4YHF .

Wolf,
I tried it with an older soundfile. The decoding stops after the 3rd
line and Windows XP wants to send a failure report to Microsoft.

Greetings all,

I have started working on a graphic user interface for Stewart Nelson's WOLF (Weak-signal Operation on LF).

It is in an early development stage, but at least it does what Stewart's original console application did, plus operation in real-time using the soundcard (RX and TX). It still lacks some features (especially tuning aid and time-syn'd automatic operation) but maybe you'd like to help to develop it further. For that purpose, the full sourcecodes are included in the archive. There is no TX control signal yet, so you must switch your transceiver to TX manually, or use the VOX.

More info, and a link to the software archive is at:

  http://people.freenet.de/dl4yhf/wolf/index.html

and will be updated whenever I find the time to work on it. The GUI variant uses the same command line arguments as Stewart's original version, so the WOLF documentation is valid for the GUI variant too.

Any suggestions, test reports, etc are appreciated !
Especially interesting for me:

- Does is work at all ? (especially the real-time operation, "Receive" and "Transmit")

- If your PC is slower than 500 MHz, does the program show this error message: "Buffer overflow, lost X audio samples" (X something between 4096 and many thousands)

- If someone out there uses MS C: I would like to know if the slightly modified WOLF core (WOLF.CPP) can still be compiled with your compiler, because I only use Borland C++ Builder myself


Best regards,
 Wolf(gang)  DL4YHF .
