Hi Mel - welcome to the club! :-)) I mean fldigi. So you got rx
already, and within short you will have tx as well.
Re cursor, to tune to psk signals, just bring the track into the centre
of the two vertical lines and click; then move out of the waterfall
into the rx or tx pane. To stop those two lines moving, just move the
mouse cursor out of the waterfall, and there will remain the tuned
position only visible.
Indeed, ham radio would be boring without swapped cables, open
contacts, and simple senior moments... :-)

Hello,

I copied every setting on the Help Page and now I have a receive on
PSK. Yippee ! However as is the norm with me, Sods Law appeared, I've
lost transmit on Digipan and PSK-PAL. I always label everything,
connections made as labelled but no TX !

A question about fldigi. What do I do to make the curser stay in
place ? Even though the opening page is on PSK 31, the curser won't
lock on to a signal, I've got a wide "thingie" following the curser

all

along the frequency bar, so how do I get rid of that ?

If someone will either provide me with a pdf or a link to one which describes the FT-757GX command set I will put together a rigCAT xml file for the transceiver.

Hi Harold

As the CAT on the 757 is unidirectional it will be impossible to display the radio's
frequency on the waterfall as FLdigi will not receive that information from the 757.

However you should be able to send frequency commands like the band / favourite
frequency from fldigi via rigcat or hamlib, but then it would expect a handshake confirmation I
guess, and that is the reason why there is not a rigcat FT757 xml file on hand for your radio.
Whereas there is an Alpha FT857 Hamlib entry, but you won't be able to modify the
hamlib entry yourself but it looks like Hamlib is your only option.

The default CAT baud rate for the FT757 is shown as 4800 baud with 1 start bit,
two stop bits, and 0 parity, and sent in a 5 bit string.

I honestly don't see how you can make FLdigi read the radio's frequency if the radio
does not impart that information. Strange I must admit I didn't know about the uni
directional aspect of the 757 CAT, and I guess you find that aspect to be a pain even
using other software which reads the radio like MixW or HRD DM780.

I hope you find a solution, or peace with it :-).

Best Regards,

Dave G3VFP

This radio has the original CAT control which uses only one way
communications to the radio with no reply.

Is anyone using hamlib in win-fldigi to control a Yaesu FT-757GX?
When i try to use it I get a I/O error displayed under the waterfall
and of course I then cannot view the rig display. I have a home built
interface with which I can control the PTT and I can change the radio
frequency using Commander or RigCat.

I have also modified a rig.xml file to try and use RigCat to control
the radio. My success has been to get the PTT to work and the
frequency to change on the radio. The frequency above the waterfall
will not change, the QSY function will not work and the frequency in
the logging function will not follow. I cannot see what the
interaction is between the rig.xml and the win-fldigi program is so I
can make it work.

The radio receives and sends psk-31 OK, but I would like to make it
work better.

Any suggestions?

Harold

Hello Fred,

The Optocoupler I use was made by Dave, and the settings as you say
are basically the same for Digipan, and PSK=PAL. I have no problem
with either of those softwares, both work perfectly

I'm interested to know a few things about fldigi. The first being,
Should FLdigi, on being opened up from the shortcut on the desktop,
immediatly accept signals on the waterfall, as happens with Digipan
and PSK-PAL ?

If it doesn't, should I copy and enter every setting which are shown
in the web help pages, and having done this will the software then
function as it should ?

I'm not technical,most of the computer techno babble I don't
understand. It would be helpful if simple instructions giving step by
step instructions such as that produced by KK7UQ for Digipan were
available, just to get it started.

Kind regards, Mel G0GQK

Mel - thanks info. I suppose you verified the proper settings,
in "Configuration/Soundcard/Audio Devices" ? Which interface are you
running? When running Digipan, you got certain soundcard settings which
basically should not differ from those to be used by fldigi - so where
is the little box which needs (un)checking)e.g. line-in, mike-in or
else?
But it doesn't harm your system to throw out all fldigi components and
reinstall from fresh.
Pse advise. 73 Fred DL6XAZ

Hi Mel -
and if it were the case with the volume slider, rest assured: you are
in very good company!!! Happened to me in the beginning as well but
found it by chance very soon.
Pse also check whether PTT works, and whether there is audio going
into your transceiver.
Pse advise in due course whether/how you sorted it out. Good luck.

Hello Dave and group members,

I've just been reading the mail and one message in particular may

solve

my little problem. I downloaded FLdigi a few days ago, examined it,
pressed this and tried that but it appeared to be dead. I have XP,

and

have Digipan which works OK, and I have PSK-PAL which also works

OK,

but not even a flicker on the FLdigi waterfall.

I was going to un-install tomorrow and make another copy but after
reading Dave's comments on message 41 about the VOL settings being

set

at zero perhaps this is the reason why I have this problem.

This is,of course, the first of my problems, and no doubt I shall

Dave - thanks for the info. When I played around, I just got curious
by the .pal extension and thought just to try it - why I got to this
result which pleased me. And why not keep something which has proven
to be practical? No need to invent the wheel again and again.
The present fldigi runs very smooth and absolutely stable on my W-XP
setup, and once used to the buttons at different locations it takes
the place of mixw more frequently. There is of course the one or
other mode which I like to try or use, e.g. bpsk at speeds not
incorporated or Amtor-FEC but it costs nothing to quit and change
over.

The palette files were designed to be compatible with DigiPan. It

that MixW retained the palette scheme of its parent.

I just up loaded an xml file that will give you CAT control of the FT-
2000. I made some slight modifications to the FT-950 file to create
the FT-2000 file. I have it working with my FT-2000D with no
problems. You will need to edit the file for your COM port preference,
the file as is has it set to COM3.
Remember to set MENU items in the FT-2000: 027 to 4800, 028 to 100, 029
to on.

Hi Dave,
these news made my day as I was not successful in fiddling around with
the xml file. Really annoying that Yaesu could not follow a coherent
CAT system for their rigs. Never mind, you will solve my problems.
Thanks in advance.

Just installed FIDIGI on an xp machine but I am having a problem
getting CAT control to work. Has anyone had any sucess in writing a
rig.xml file for the FT2000? I saw the format for writting one in the
file sections of this reflector but thought I would ask if it allready
exists before trying to write one. I am not a programer and it could
be an overwhelming expierence for me.

I have just started with Win-Fldigi software and having a hard time
figuring out how to log my contacts. I have Wxlogbook downloaded but
unable to figure out how to get this logbook to accept my qso
information in Win-Fldigi when we click save in Win-Fldigi.
My main goal is to get all of my qso information from Win-Fldigi to my
main logger which is DXKeeper. Maybe I do not even need to use
Wxlogbook but maybe there is a way to use a DDE for direct transfer
from Win-Fldigi to DXKeeper ? Any help will be appreciated.

Well thanks Steve. I'm sure Rich is as pleased as I am that you are
up and running. It is an interesting software for sure.
