Re: Can one run two instances of FLDIGI at the same time?
|
Hi Don,
I am running a Raspberry Pi 4b and Yaesu FT710.? The radio is tuned to 7.110.? On the Pi I am running flrig for cat, two instances of FLDIGI, one for contestia 4/250 at?+900 and one for FSQ at?+1500 also JS8CALL and Commstat.??
I JUST got this working and it is on a Pi so I won't be much help for Windows but it can be done.? Previously I had something similar working on Ubuntu and digi?+ js8 on windows but on windows digi was "listen only", I couldn't make the speakers talk to the radio.? The audio is 90% of the magic.? I am using pulseaudio on pi and ubuntu.??
Thank you Bob.? I wil?test.
Hi Don
I often run two instances of fldigi using the same audio device
(Icom 9100) I also can concurrently run wsjt-x and qsstv. CAT is
shared via flrig. I do of course QSY for the latter modes. The 2nd
fldigi instance is mainly for RX only but it does allow TX.
Pulseaudio and Pipewire under Linux quite happily share the audio
channels. I assume Windows has a similar feature.
In the config the 2nd fldigi instance has "Flrig PTT keys modem"
under rig control checked. I don't use it this way, but I can (for
example) TX two separate modes on the same frequency with (say)
different audio offsets.
My main fldigi command start is;
/usr/local/bin/fldigi --home-dir /home/user/.fldigi
My main fldigi command start is;
/usr/local/bin/fldigi --home-dir /home/user/.fldigi.rxonly
The configs also differ in the TCP ports used for flamp I/O. No
doubt flmsg would need a similar setup. I don't think flarq can be
setup that way though.
TX/RX contention would be an issue. I have not looked into that.
Perhaps PSM (under fldigi) could be used to detect the "other
modem" in the same bandpass and thus stall the TX for a while.
wsjt-x needed some features disabled so it wouldn't do automatic
CAT things.

Thanks for replying.
So this is using two different transceivers.
My need is to run two modes simultaneously?on one
transceiver/one frequency. ? So I believe i would have to be
able to share the card AND disambiguate the CAT control com
port.
I have setup 2 instances of FLDigi one VHF one HF.
I used a signalink for one instance and internal card
for the other, so I can't think of a way to share one card
easily.
For setup I created two separate folders with different
names, made a copy of all the folders in each directory,
changed the default port for flmsg on one, and used the
command line options to direct the desktop shortcut to the
correct file.
