Zbitx and fldigi help


 

Got my zbitx and works well with ft8.? Can you download fldigi to radio and use fldigi right from the radio just like ft8??


 

You can use fldigi with an external monitor. ?There is a pre installed version on the radio but it is very old. ?It doesn¡¯t work very well and hangs the zbitx program. ?This was an issue in sbitx also and later fixed with 64bit. ?You might want to try and compile the later version of fldigi but may still have the same issue.

Tom,

As others have pointed out, the zBitx comes with FLdigi preinstalled on the image. To access this, you need to connect your radio to an external HDMI display to run the program. FLdigi will not run on the built in display.

Ryan, I did not face any issue when running FLdigi on the zBitx. Let me perform a sustained test tomorrow and get back to you on this.

Fldigi will run for a bit. ?If you try to change frequency from fldigi it will many times hang and not recover. ?Sometimes it will crash the zbitx program sometimes it will take minutes to do anything. ?I experienced this issue on my original sbitx also. ?
