If I recall correctly, Fldigi uses an XML rig definition file for interfacing purposes.?

Ok that make sense, I did open Fldigi and try to adjust the rig control.

Now how to fix that???? Will try a file replacement when I find the config files in Fldigi and let you know.

Not sure of this at all. The sbitx uses plain text files. This is being generated from another program, me thinks.

So when you manually edited the XML file, you probably added or deleted something like <foo>? and/or </foo> Or the closing ">". Take a look at where you edited and see if you are missing an opening or closing tag.

If you are running windows, I have found Notepad++ with the XML extension installed (looked in the "plugin" menu item), good at telling you at least which tag is missmatched. > But there are plenty of XML verifiers out there.

Sorry should have read your reply more carefully. Finding a replacement file is probably the right path. Surprised (and a little uneasy) that Fidigi generated a corrupt XML file. Perhaps when you modified the settings in Fidgi you used one of the magical "special symbols (&<>"') . Usually the libraries used to generate XML protect against that and you get the "escaped form" &amp, &lt etc.)?

I did not manually edit the file. I was using the config dialog. So not sure what went wrong.

When I have time to locate the file I'll load it up in Notepad++ to see what is up.

Found the fix for my error in attempting to configure the Fldigi and Flrig apps was to:
First download the sBitx? "can't wait" image and locate the fldigi_def.xml.
The file was located in a hidden directory? ?.fldigi? ? full path /home/pi/.fldigi
Then replace it on the system that was presenting the error.

The correct settings may have been in the fldigi_def.xml-old file, but I did not think to check it in my sleep deprived stupor.

Great news on figuring it out and finding the hidden directory!??

FYI for the non linux user (Rasbian is linux) p a file with .name
is generally not shown in a LS(DIR) or with the GUI file manager.
There is option LS-a to sho all (command line) or usually the file
manager has a setting that will show all.

If you have used linux this is nothing new but to winders users
it may be alien.
