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 .-.-. |

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.听 I'm burnt out now.听 During all this I ran across one reference that RTTY is always LSB/Data-L.听 But I tried upper and lower on all bands starting on 10m then 12, 15, 17, 20, 30, and 40m.听 I got a partial copy on one station, enough to get his call and attempted to call him back.听 I got one each heard reports on reverse beacon on 15 and 20m. Then randomly FLRig would just die.听 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?听 I still tried both upper and lower. Zero QSOs for the day.听 I even just CQed both upper and lower on each band hoping someone would come to me.听 And with so many stations working RTTY today, frustration doesn't quite cover it.听 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.听 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.听 The
FT-710 uses the RF
Gain/SQL.听 RF gain
is at max.听 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.听 Then hit
transmit.听 I got
the RTTY in my
headset, and the
text appears in
red in the sent
pane.听 There was
nothing on the
waterfall at all.听
However, it did
save the audio
file and I
confirmed it by
playing it outside
of FLDigi.听 The
audio in the bar
at the bottom
does respond
appropriately
when I
transmitted it.听
It also
responded if I
talked into the
mic.
Now
here is where I
get confused.听
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.听 I
got nothing.听
So should I
have changed
the settings
back to the
CODEX or left
it on the
speaker at
that point?听
After that, I
changed it
back to my
CODEX and
tried again.听
Now I have
nothing.听 It
will throw a
carrier, but
no modulation.
Ok,
I changed the
configuration
in FLDigi to
use
FLRig(2.0.05),
not Hamlib.听
Switching to
Hamlib was the
only thing I
had changed in
my quest, so I
went back to
FLRig.听
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.听
Tuned to an
appropriate
freq,
transmitted
CQ.听 The radio
successfully
transmitted
the CQ.听 Here
is a screen
capture of my
FLDigi.
So,
the issue
isn't with my
CODEX or
windows
settings.听 It
has to be that
I have screwed
up the actual
controls of
FLDigi from
the main
screen.听 I
have tried to
play with the
various
sliders and
controls along
the bottom
with no change
to the
waterfall.听
And there are
so many other
modes
discussed in
the manual
that I have
not

settings for
RTTY.听 Hell, I
can't even get
someone to
give me a

answer on what
mode the
FT-710 is

in, LSB, Data

(though this

but without a

have is the
waterfall on

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.

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).

Re: Earlier Version of Fldigi
开云体育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

开云体育Hi Steve,Just a quick observation. I see you have the waterfall on pause. You won't see your waterfall with that selection. 73, Ron NY3J On 2/9/2025 9:24 AM, Steve, KQ4QWH via

So I messed around with it some more last night.听 Turned the squelch off in FLDigi just to make sure that wasn't blocking the waterfall.听 I tuned into a station as best I could with no waterfall, mostly gibberish, but it is receiving audio.听 Wanted to show the FLRig as a reference.听 My com ports are COM5 (enhanced) and COM7 73 Stephen Maley KQ4QWH Coats, NC

First off, thank you so much for taking the time to try to help me.
