Re: Yaesu FT-2000

Re: Save Config problem
Hi Fred

Well one important thing not to overlook is that there is not another instance of cygwin1.dll residing on the drive. It is also important to re initialise the ports after any changes. Not sure if then it is neccesary to come out of the software after saving, and then re run it, but that's what I have done. The rigcat functions appear to be limited, as I think Hamlib may be. In that they only seem to operate cat frequency functions, and a ptt string I guess where that is required. I am no software developer as you know, but the cat capability should have the ability to be able to carry out other functions. Like being able to select the radio's bandwidth filters irrespective of mode. But then that would be useful if it could be addressed by a macro etc. I haven't found a method for example of being able to switch from the ssb filter to my cw filter within rigcat, and all this may be down to my understanding of how it should work. I played with trying to insert the string into my rigcat file but it didn't work :-). Hey I am not complaining hi, the work already done with fldigi is great, and if I had the skills to assist inworking with the code I would do. Despite the limitations I really enjoy using fldigi. I did have a lockup problem earlier in my playing, and what I did was to remove all the config files, and allow the new version to rewrite them. This isn't accepted as a neccesity I am told, but in my case it resolved the problem. Just a few thoughts :-) Cheers Dave On 24/09/2008 17:11:58, Fred (dl6xaz@...) wrote:

Save Config problem
Hi friends, -
my mate G0UZP Paul who is also keen on using fldigi as a future substitute to MixW, alerted me to a problem he encounters on his W-XP laptop. He expressly asked me to publish his query here (previously he had asked the same question on the navigator group without response): quote 1b. Re: Fldigi & Navigator Posted by: "paul_g0uzp" g0uzpham@... paul_g0uzp Date: Fri Sep 19, 2008 2:00 pm ((PDT)) Hi all, I have also experienced problems with fldigi ver3.03. I installed it to my laptop winxp sp2 etc etc. Everything seemed ok, got the rig cat working FT857D. Did a test and after a few minutes fldigi locked up in a major way. Did a reboot, again it worked ok then locked up. On the third attempt, I noticed at the bottom of the screen it came up with I/O error. That only came up when I got the cat working...It was then I noticed that if I tried to alter anything in the configure menu of fldigi, the lock up happened. This baffled me as it works perfectly in HRD/DM780. Then I tried Mixw, again all ok. It is only used for radio stuff now. Laptop is a fujitsu-siemens amillio M series. Intel 1.8ghz 1 meg ram. As the laptop had not been cleaned for over 4 years.. ie: wiped I decided to do that as there was a lot of stuff that might of made the conflict. I have fdisked and reintalled xp, the only software now on it now is HRD/DM780 & fldigi ver 3.03xp. I will say I have it on my main computer running vista and it works perfectly. With no gliches.. Regards Paul G?UZP unquote Does this problem ring a bell with someone? vy73 Fred DL6XAZ |

Yaesu FT-2000
Hi friends -
I must say: fldigi works a charm on my (radio-exclusive) AMD pc with W- XP SP3 through navigator interface with a FT-897. No problems whichoever. Installed it, fiddled around a bit, discovered which settings it needed, and it is in daily use now. My question is: has anybody heard about the FT-2000.xml being written or published by someone else? The problem is not that fldigi would not work with it. To the contrary, also here through the navigator and TTY- PTT it is usable, though without the additional QRG-indication etc. When trying e.g. the FT-1000.xml the result was nonsense and fldigi said "byebye". I had to manually edit the fldigi.prefs to get rid of entries I did not want. I looked into the CAT-handbook for the FT-2000 with all required syntax but got no clue how those xml files are construed. Therefore I would welcome any hint. 73 Fred DL6XAZ |

Using <ZDT> a in macro
w1ret
When I use <ZDT> (Zulu date time) in my SK macro I get this for a
date/time.. 09/23/08 00:43 EST de W1RET sk I don't know where the EST is coming from other than that is the time zone I am in although right now it is EDT. I would think it would be GMT or UTC or Z. The time and date shown are correct zulu time and dates. If I change to <IZDT> (ZDT in iso-8601 format) I get this for a date/ time.... 2008-09-23 00:46:42Z de W1RET sk A bit long but it shows the time as Z and not EST. Again time and dates are correct for zulu time. I wonder if <ZDT> is picking the time zone from the local PC clock? Any ideas? Thanks, Jim W1RET |

Well I decided to have a play and see what dxkeeper was all about. Really an excersise to see if it would run okay with fldigi, and true to form it worked first time. Ran fldigi up, and dxkeeper, then ran the gateway, and hey presto it asked for the log transfer :-). Now that has to be a result guys. Don't ask me any questions about dxkeeper as I haven't even read the docs yet hi. Cheers Dave G3VFP --- In win-fldigi@..., "w1ret" <w1ret@...> wrote:

The Gateway seems to do the job except for the frequency which I think Rick is working on. I do not use cat so I am going to wait till Rick gets the frequency working with out cat. Thanks for the help. 73, Art w1ret wrote:

Re: fldigi 303

There is a gateway that you can use for fldigi and DXKeeper.
Browse over to You will find it under Bridges, Gateways, and Extenders. It is listed as Fldigi- DXKeeper Gateway. I've tried it a couple of time and it seems to work. It will take qso's as they are entered into the fldigi log an place them into DXKeeper. There is also a read me file associated with it that tells you the order in starting everything. Hope this helps. 73, Jim W1RET --- In win-fldigi@..., Art <wb4mnk@...> wrote: is Ia function of the audio envelope) couldcannot answer (I don't know). can beonly get CW to transmit by using the sound card. ------------------------------------------------------------------------set up as a real time log with fldigi 303 ? 9/19/2008 3:54 PM |

I have three questions:
Can you keep the waterfall active during transmit ? When transmitting CW can you use RTS to key the transmitter ? I could only get CW to transmit by using the sound card. I use DXKeeper for my final log book and wanted to know if it can be set up as a real time log with fldigi 303 ? I am using XP with a Dell 500hz computer with 768 megs of ram. 73, Art WB4MNK |

ADIF Lookup
rich
This program is made to import an ADIF and lookup information that you
may need to add to the log entry. While it was not made for Fldigi, it may very well work with the logbook. I don't contest so I haven't tried it myself. I would be interested in hearing if it is useful. Link is: It's free and the author works where I do, so I know he keeps the program updated. He also keeps a massive collection of manuals.

Fldigi Log
Hi John
Yes of course it does save all parameters, and when saving it will put the adif file called fldigi.adif within your fldigi.files folder. So you should then be able to export it no problem. I haven't done it myself by the way as I only require simplistic log keeping, not being a contester etc hi. But I do agree that such activity requires much more information keeping, of course I understand that completely. Pity, but as far as I know there is no other multifunctional logging software which interfaces with the windows version of fldigi directly. Keep me posted, and do copy to the group of course rather than direct to me if the adif poses a problem, but I shouldn't think it will. Take care out there John. Cheers, Dave. |

I will try to confirm this as you suggest. This isn't a show stopper as I have a RigExpert Plus interface that can perform the PTT for me. I normally use CAT interface for other programs. Plus it looks way to dangerous for me to attempt any changes on my own! 73, Jim W1RET --- In win-fldigi@..., David <g3vfp@...> wrote:

Re: IC-703 PTT
Hi Jim

It isn't actually fldigi which selects that option. It is built into the hamlib file for the IC703 which has from 3.02 been compiled into fldigi. Whoever wrote the hamib IC703 contribution I guess would have know the string for ptt. I may be wrong, but I think you would have to get hold of whoever wrote that portion for hamlib, and ask that question. As once it is in the library, and that library is compiled I guess is the right word for insertion into fldigi it is cast in stone until a new version is available. I would confirm that with Dave W1HKJ though as I am no software expert. Fldigi does support COM port ptt either from RTS or DTR, and that can be setup individually in the RigCat setup by inserting the port used for ptt control if you have that as a seperate entity in your interface. Interestingly enough for Icoms and others as long as RTS/CTS handshaking isn't used, you can use the same com port for CAT radio control and ptt. As CAT uses txd, and rxd data lines and ptt uses as I say RTS or DTR. So you could wire the same com port for both. In my case the IC706 series doesn't have a cat command string for ptt, so I have no choice but to select a port for ptt using tty (in windows jargon that would say com port), and a port for cat control of other functions. I actually use a USB Navigator and have COM5 for CAT, and COM6 for ptt for example. In the final analysis you can use the XML file for the IC703 edit it using Notepad for your CAT port, baud rate etc. Leave RTS set to true but not DTR. Then save it as rig.xml in your fldigi.files folder. Leave RigCat to find that port, and in the rig setup in fldigi put your ptt port and as I say tty. Then you should have both ptt and CAT .... I hope :-). Hmmmm just looked at the Hamlib file for the IC706 and it does say "can get ptt Y" which assumes it was written with it in. But it also shows that file as untested, so I think you would have to find out who wrote it. Take a look at this url Jim It will explain what Hamlib is all about, and how software writers can incorporate it into their own software for rig control. The item for supported rigs shows number 355 as being the one for the IC703. I hope this helps rather than confuses hi.
