Hello, I've been using a WIN7 Toshiba Satellite for a long time. It is loaded with FLDIGI 4.0.18 and works quite well. I decided to move up to WIN10 and purchased a refurb Dell Optiplex 7010 quad core intel i7 3.4GB DDR3 ram ITB SSD running WIN10 pro. I tried using my Easy Digi by KF5INZ. Downloaded the latest config of FlDigi and not having much success interfacing with my Yaesu FTDX1200. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Just remember I'm a dinosaur stumbling along trying to figure this out.
Thank you, Ron Speer W6RRS

Hello David,
Welcome back :-)
I tried the configuration feature but it also doesn't appear to store or restore the Lk setting. Only a Macro or pushing the Lk Button (possibly via an external script) appears to work.
Basically, I would think it would be the most straightforward way (and place) to add this setting in the 'fldigi.prefs' configuration file, where we already have...
sqlonoff:0
afconoff:0
... by adding (storage and retrieval, of course)
reverseonoff:0
On the other hand, the reverse state can actually be stored in a per-mode-per-band way by activating the respective config option, but even when I tried doing so, defining an RTTY frequency entry for 20 m, setting 'Rv' ON and restarting fldigi, it would not auto-restore the selected state. But when 'touching' the frequency, e.g. changing it from '14085' (previous QRG auto-reloaded) to '14086', 'Rv' comes on immediately, if stored before for the 20 m band in RTTY. So it's there already but just not entirely functional for the purpose of a non-attended startup.
- - - - - -
But now get this:
After I tried this per-mode-per-band setting and switched this option OFF again, I noted that FLdigi actually started up with 'Rv' ON! Tried it several times...
Checked the setting, and yes, it's not band-dependent, so what's going on?
I thus opened the 'fldigi.prefs' configuration file, just the way I had described it above, and there it was, just with a slightly different key name:
reverse:1
Now I tried setting this key back to '0' and fldigi actually started with 'Rv' OFF again, so that's the way to get it done, it seems!
But beware: you'll have to manually edit (or, if not yet present, add) this line in the 'fldigi.prefs' configuration file and set it to 'reverse:1', with the per-mode-per-band option DEACTIVATED and while FLdigi does not run. Then you should be OK for the next FLdigi start(s) with 'Rv' auto-ON.
Bottom line: FLdigi appears to read and obey this global config setting, but it does not store the last state in there, even when 'Save config' is selected upon close down.
The opposite is the case using the per-mode-per-band option: Rv states are stored in the respective other file called 'mode_state.prefs', but the auto-reactivation only works when changing the tuned frequency (manually).
Hope this will provide a functional clue...
Thanks and 73s
Tobias

The state of the LK button is not saved between sessions, however you can create a configuration script that will do just what you want.? Please see?

Restart. Yes. It's in the document. Making changes to the rig control especially and that's where most of the problems occur. best, jim/K2JJK On Tue, Mar 18, 2025 at 2:38?PM Anders Georgsson via <anders.georgsson= [email protected]> wrote:

Re: TenTec Jupiter FLRig config - help
Ron,
I have tried with my Jupiter (green screen) several times. No joy.? I have been successful when I select Pegasus mode. It works but of course you can only control from flrig.??
?
I didn't like that mode as I found it cumbersome to just scroll the band to listen to whomever was on.

Re: IC7300 CW with FlDigi 4.2.06
Check if the macros have TXID. If so, TXID ?and rxid must be enabled.

had it working fairly well but now, suddenly - something has happened so as my IC7300 is transmitting the tone, the radio releases the PTT , pauses and reengages the PTT and continues!?
?
I read and followed the instructions for using FLRIG and FLDIGI together but it's just not working like it used to.
?
It used to trigger the transmitter and FlDigi would pulse its tones and once finished - it'd switch back to receive mode.. I don't believe I used to have to enable break-in or full break-in..
If I don't do that now - then I can HEAR the tone but it is never transmitted. Any suggestions?

I tried selecting LK and then SAVE CONFIG. Exited the program and then reloaded the program. LK was not restored.
I was reading on another site where the operator found that pushing a button was too much inconvenience. ?????? Are we getting lazy or are we pressed for time?

TenTec Jupiter FLRig config - help
Hi all,
???? I am trying to connect my Jupiter to FLRig v2.0.05 on Win11.? The connection is USB.? I know the connection works.? I have used it successfully with Winlink RMS Trimode.? I tried the 'standard' config that comes up when I click on TT-538.? All baud is 57600.
1 Stop bit
RTS/CTS on
RTS +12v on
DTR +12 v off
I tried the connection that works in Trimode
RTS on
DTR on
???? Has anyone gotten their Jupiter to connect with this USB connection?? Thanks

Not sure, but if you set it on, then go to configure, then drop down to save config.? ?it may save for next startup

Re: No modulation rtty but decode ok.
Hi Chris,
Sorry, I must have missed the email that
said about your successes with the other programs....
I hope that you find the answer....
Best 73 and good DX.

This configuration (icom7700 and interface rigexpert) works perfectly with three other software programs (logger32/n1mm and 2tone/ and mmtty).
This would make me think more of a problem between FLDIGI and the RIGEXPERTti5000 interface.
Do you think the ports would only be default with FLDIGI, and not with the others?

OK. Sorry about that.... have you checked to make sure that Windows has not powered down your USB ports?
Check in Control Panel, Power Options. Make sure that the computer is not shutting down anything to save power, and make sure that nothing is going into Hibernation or Sleep.... all these things seem to be a problem.
Also check in Device manager, check every USB device, Hubs included, and make sure that Windows cannot shut down the USB devices to save power.
Actually, check everything in Device Manager, even if it seems unrelated.
Also, make sure that the computer is not set to shut down any of your displays. HDMI audio for your display, going to sleep also causes problems.
