Re: Fldigi on Windows 11
Hello Geo, Sometimes it's a matter of the config files which may over time start making issues, when updating or moving installations around. I suggest as a last resort to make an entirely fresh special install of the latest stable ver4.2.06 as follows: On your hard disk, create a folder with write privileges (NOT in Windows governed folders like 'C:\Programs' etc.!!!) and call it exactly this (it may reside in a suitable sub-directory of your choice, though): FL_APPS Use underscore, not Space in the folder name! Install FLdigi therein and follow the instructions given by the installer. Then run FLdigi from this FL_APPS folder and set your devices and preferences as necessary for trying it out. Note that this will/should be independent from any other FLdigi installation onthis PC, not taking into account your previous user settings. If this works, you may adapt the necessary features further to fit your needs. Note that all personal settings are now stored in an fldigi.files sub-folder within the installation folder you have created above. Maybe this provides a way to get going again. Needless to say that you must suitably set or reply to Windows access restrictions in the process, in order to not be blocked from doing what you intend to do. Good Luck! 73s Tobias .-.-.

Re: Lock Attenuator
Hello Karl, If I'm not mistaken there's a simple way, please look at the attached screenshot. Unchecking items there, the topmost is relevant for your question, allows global settings instead of (possibly) per mode and even band selections. Hope this will work for you. 73s SWL Tobias .-.-. P.S. My log says I already heard you in FT8 before, e.g. working W7TEC on 10 m Jan 10 at 1650z, SNR -11 dB, stating 'K0CIE EL86'.

Re: Use of a MacBook pro to run FLDIGI what is the oldest operating system that works
Good question, have not kept up on that issue. However, there is a good chance that if you use a recent compiler on the PPC version of MacOS it will run on it. Not to say this helps you out thou. Food for thought.

Fldigi on Windows 11
Dear radio amateurs,
I have a new laptop the Dell 16 5645 with Windows 11 pro.My old laptop is Dell e5470 with Windows 10 pro. I used Fldigi version 2024 and it worked very well on my Windows 10pro with my FRG 7 receiver and the sound card in the laptop. Now with the new laptop (Windows 11) what I installed, the old and newest version of Fldigi it does not work any longer. I tried it many times on more days. I do not know what the problem is, and maybe someone of you can help me to solve that problem. I will thank you very much if you can help me with the problem. Kind Regards Herman PD1HTI The Netherlands, in the vicinity of the Airport Schiphol. My English niveau is what a leard a very long time at school, sorry for that |
Re: Lost text
I don't have my system setup to test this...but ISTR that there is a logging function? that captures the session? � la ...to save transmitted text messages in fldigi, you can enable the "Text Capture" feature in the settings...?
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
...at any rate, I always have EditPad Pro running when I am using fldigi, and it's easy to copy (ctrl-a) any text of interest and paste (ctrl-v) into EPP. I frequently do this so that I can do post-game reviews of nets. In fact, I supply a copy of EditPad Lite with every portable install so that everyone can do this. Of course, each OS also has a plain text editor of some kind, but I use EPP regularly, so I am familiar with it. 73 Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua On 2025-02-11 06:17:, Poul K wrote:

Re: Lost text
Thanks Dave
This is of course a low priority issue, but in case you put it in the todo list, may I suggest:
- before a blue text entry pane is cleared by fldigi, the text is saved (overwriting previous saved text), perhaps also saving the insert point position,
- or alternatively just keep unsent text (overwriting previous saved text), which may be easier.
- a menu option to insert saved/unsent text in blue entry pane.
Again time to praise your fine work with the FL suite!

Re: AFC Button greyed out / drift
Hello David,
Just a quick update regarding the greyed out AFC Button + Frequency Drift issue. After making yet another fresh install (from scratch, only using the defaults from the fldigi setup file), I experienced just the same situation as Kim had described: - AFC Button greyed out - not reacting to input, regardless of the chosen mode. - AFC active (but this state was invisible in terms of the AFC Button 'light'). - Using (e.g.) MFSK and with the SQL slider (next to the vertical green signal indicator) set sufficiently low, AFC started veering off the set frequency in a random manner. I have found 3 options to get rid of the resulting AFC induced frequency drift, as far as I have tested it here: - Temporary: Just set the SQL slider all the way to maximum. If you need to decode anyways, toggle SQL to OFF, keeping the slider at the upper limit. While decoding strong signals, this may not be enough to keep SQL from opening and thus also causing AFC drift. Thus just a quick temporary fix. - Upon Request: Create a Macro containing the command <AFC:off>. Whenever you run this macro, the AFC will be turned off, regardless of the AFC Button and its greyed-out state. Alternative: as before, but use the command <AFC:t>. Whenever you run this macro, the AFC will be toggled ON <--> OFF. <AFC:on> is the 3rd command in this respect. - General Fix: Open the 'Save Parameters' Dialog via Menu - Config - Misc - Save Parameters. Deactivate 'AFC control'. Save Config and restart FLdigi. This difference is found in the 'fldigi.def-xml' configuration file, in the key <AFC_BY_MODE>1</AFC_BY_MODE>, which should rather be <AFC_BY_MODE>0</AFC_BY_MODE> to work. The AFC Button should now be accessible and function as expected. Note: the default light green Button 'light' color may be hard to see. Change it to a higher contrast color via Menu - Colors-Fonts - Buttons-Menus: AFC (e.g. dark blue). I attach a screenshot showing this parameter, which I assume may be (linked to) the culprit. I hope this will help you find a general bug fix within FLdigi. Meanwhile, I have also informed Kim accordingly to hopefully provide a temporary solution for his upcoming SW Radiogram program production. Thanks and best regards Tobias .-.-. |

Re: flrig 2.0.0.07 development version available at
Dave, Hello from Novato, CA and Happy New Year.
Hopeall is well with you Folks and say Hello to Skip for me.
OK! I have a problem with our Clubs IC-756pro III.
I have the latest build for FLrig but cannot get it to comm with Windows 11.
I am using the West Mountain Rigblaster Advantage Interface which has CI-V built into it.
Now just as a FYI, I have the JS8Call and FT-8 Modes running with this setup and NO problems.
As a FYI I have here at home the IC-756(Non-Pro) and have FLrig running just fine with that.
Setting are as follows:
Rig IC-756PRO III
Com5
Baud 19200
Stop bit 1
CIV# 0x6E
I have verified the settings in the Radios Menu and they all seem to be right.
I did take some pics of the screens but unable to attach them here (Operator ERROR)
I am going to be going back down to the Club House, 30minutes away with the Alpha Build 2.0.05.93.
I will run a Event Log if I still have problems and send them off to you.
If anybody else has any ideas I would appreciate any feed back.

Lost text
Hello
I have had a situation some times when I prepare a text in fldigi and after starting sending it, by mistake or a second of hesitation turn off sending - and the text is gone.
Is there a way to get back the last text to the blue sending pane so I could start over with the text intact?

Ron, Well, I attempted to work RTTY all day long. I'm burnt out now. During all this I ran across one reference that RTTY is always LSB/Data-L. But I tried upper and lower on all bands starting on 10m then 12, 15, 17, 20, 30, and 40m. I got a partial copy on one station, enough to get his call and attempted to call him back. I got one each heard reports on reverse beacon on 15 and 20m. Then randomly FLRig would just die. Grrrrrrr When I tried to use the clusters on Log4OM it would switch to USB, so I don't know if those are just bad reports, or..... that is where they were? I still tried both upper and lower. Zero QSOs for the day. I even just CQed both upper and lower on each band hoping someone would come to me. And with so many stations working RTTY today, frustration doesn't quite cover it. I would try JS8 as they have a QSO party this weekend, but RTTY is blanketing the bands. I think I'm going to go have a beer and shut down the station. This shouldn't be THAT hard!!! 73 Stephen Maley KQ4QWH Coats, NC

First
off, thank you so
much for taking
the time to try to
help me.
The
FLDigi version is
4.2.06, I am
running Windows 11
and it has not
changed. The
FT-710 uses the RF
Gain/SQL. RF gain
is at max. I'm
not using the
pre-amps at this
time, only IPO.
I
changed the audio
settings as
requested.
I did
the TX Generate,
saved it the
desktop. Then hit
transmit. I got
the RTTY in my
headset, and the
text appears in
red in the sent
pane. There was
nothing on the
waterfall at all.
However, it did
save the audio
file and I
confirmed it by
playing it outside
of FLDigi. The
audio in the bar
at the bottom
does respond
appropriately
when I
transmitted it.
It also
responded if I
talked into the
mic.
Now
here is where I
get confused.
You instructions
were:
"Do
not change the
modem used to
make recording
during
playback."
I
left it on the
headset, and
did the audio
playback. I
got nothing.
So should I
have changed
the settings
back to the
CODEX or left
it on the
speaker at
that point?
After that, I
changed it
back to my
CODEX and
tried again.
Now I have
nothing. It
will throw a
carrier, but
no modulation.
Ok,
I changed the
configuration
in FLDigi to
use
FLRig(2.0.05),
not Hamlib.
Switching to
Hamlib was the
only thing I
had changed in
my quest, so I
went back to
FLRig.
Obviously
FLDigi doesn't
like the
Hamlib for
some reason,
but I
eliminated
that.
I
did a test of
the radio then
using VarAC,
successful.
Ok,
brought up
FLDigi/FLRig.
Tuned to an
appropriate
freq,
transmitted
CQ. The radio
successfully
transmitted
the CQ. Here
is a screen
capture of my
FLDigi.
So,
the issue
isn't with my
CODEX or
windows
settings. It
has to be that
I have screwed
up the actual
controls of
FLDigi from
the main
screen. I
have tried to
play with the
various
sliders and
controls along
the bottom
with no change
to the
waterfall.
And there are
so many other
modes
discussed in
the manual
that I have
not
successfully
figured out
the correct
settings for
RTTY. Hell, I
can't even get
someone to
give me a
straight
answer on what
mode the
FT-710 is
supposed to be
in, LSB, Data
L, or RTTY L
(though this
makes sense
for bandpass)
but without a
waterfall to
track in and
try to
receive, all I
have is the
waterfall on
the radio,
that has not
been
successful.
So
there I am.

A little more information is required to assist. What OS version do you have. Did you change the OS version from the last time it worked. What version of FLDIGI are you using. You can get garbage output in the absents of a signal, that does not necessarily mean anything other then to say that the squelch is set low (Radio and/or FLDIGI). Here is a simple test to rule out a few things. Under Configure->Soundcard->Device settings (FLDIGI) select "Microphone" for Capture and "Speakers" for playback. Place any headset/speakers to the computer with volume turned up in order to listen. Copy this (following text, between the ----- lines) ------------------------ To be on not to be that is the question ^r ------------------------ Paste it into the transmit panel. Do not hit transmit button yet, and turn off the connected transmitter if it's on. From the FLDIGI's menu select "File->Audio->TX generate". When it asks for a save location, note file name and save it to the desktop. Press the T/R (on FLDIGI). Do you hear digital audio output from the speakers/headset and see a digital signal on the waterfall? From the FLDIGI's menu select "File->Audio->TX generate" a second time (turning it off). Do not change the modem used to make recording during playback. From the FLDIGI's menu select "File->Audio->Playback" locate the audio file saved. Default name: generate.wav on desktop. Once found mouse click the file, and press open. You will be asked if you want play the file indefinitely, your call as to which. Do you see a digital signal on the water fall that matches what you sent? In the RX panel do you see the following text? "To be on not to be that is the question". Select "File->Audio->Playback" a second time to disable indefinite playback. If you have a microphone connected, when speaking into it do you see any changes in the waterfall that a signal is present and correlates with your speaking? If so, then the likely issue follows: The Audio capture/playback device is not set to the correct device. Which might imply, a) Select the correct audio device from the configure dialog (FLDIGI). b) You need to set permission for FLDIGI to have access to said device. c) You need a device driver is order have access to said device. d) Cable/Interface that connects between your radio and computer is; missing, loosely connected, or defective is some fashion. e) The radio is not set to take input/output from the computer interface. (Edit:Added) Don't know how much more I can assist you as I'm a hand on person in order to troubleshoot issues. But, let me know if you need help on the stated corrective suggestions. Robert |
Re: Earlier Version of Fldigi
Hi Ken,At this point I am baffled. I have no such issues in Windows 11 with any of my 3 primary radios on an MSI "gamer" desktop box. It sounds to me like you are picking up receive audio through the microphone array and that is what you are seeing on the fldigi waterfall. I have seen both Win 10 and Win 11 "mislabel" the sound devices (on other laptops) do that in spite of what the device labels said they were. Most times I could find the real drivers and use them in programs I needed them in. In those cases I could not, I have had to completely de-install fldigi, ALL sound devices, and the "Virtual COM Ports", unplug every thing, then let Windows find its primary sound drivers for the laptop's built in hardware, then reinstall the rig COM port driver, then go back and reconfigure fldigi from the ground up. This happened on an older HP laptop (Win 10) and a new "generic" big-box store laptop (Win 11). I have not played with the ASUS equipment since I got burned back in the Windows 8 days by several of their BT dongle drivers that played absolute havoc with what I was trying to do at the time. The main culprit was a piece of the BT driver system that overrode the internals in Windows and would not let go of some of the hardware that I needed access to. It was impossible to de-install, so I had to back up all the data and wipe the drive and reinstall Windows. I am sorry I can't be of more help. Jack Spitznagel
