I put my coat on and went out into the garden with a brush and
collected leaves. Lovely day, bright sunshine, cool but nice.
Deciding to have another try I saved three or four macro's by saving
macros.mdf. I have to say,Digipan is so much simpler, that's why I've
always used it.

Another problem solved.

Kind regards, Mel G0GQK

Mel - as I understand you have saved the macros under one name and
fldigi opens up macros.mdf . If you don't wish to mess around too
much, just copy macros.mdf to a backup site somewhere so you can
retrieve it from there intact if something goes wrong.
What I do is:
right click on macro button
edit
click on OK
save macros.mdf, click ok.
In any case the alterations should be visible under the respective
button already with fldigi still running.

If you wish to ascertain whether it has been done and will be loaded
again correctly, just shut down fldigi (no need for shutting down
your pc), and open it up again. You will see that it is there.

MY cq macro looks like this:
<TX>
CQ CQ CQ de <MYCALL> <MYCALL> <MYCALL>
CQ CQ CQ de <MYCALL> <MYCALL> <MYCALL> cq k
<RX>

Rich - thanks very much; indeed, I have tried the one or other linux
script but - q.e.d. - with nil success. Nevertheless, I take it up
again later according to your suggestion and shall report here if there
is any positive outcome.

Fred,

As I read it, the <exec> script </exec> macro pair is primarily for
Linux versions. I think you may want to experiment with it and see if
you can get a script from linux to work. In the linux version, it is
used to start a perl script located in the .fldigi/scripts directory.
The windows equivalent would be to create a directory named "scripts"
under the fldigi.files directory. Maybe try a windows perl version or
something that will work with cygwin? This could get very

complicated.

Hi folks,
either I am visually or mentally impaired, or why don't I find a way to
embed the link to a text file in a macro? For example, I keep
a "WX.txt" with the essential wx info (e.g. wx overcast temp +5C NW
wind QNH 999hP) which under MixW I can call with the command
line "<EXEC:c:&#92;windows&#92;notepad.exe c:&#92;comms&#92;mixw&#92;wxnew.txt>"
to incorporate the text for transmission.
How can I do so under fldigi? The Macro-online-helpfile is a bit
cryptic to me, and I would appreciate somebody to enlighten me in this
respect.
Thanks, vy73 Fred DL6XAZ

Congrats, Mel!
Dave, that bloke cannot be far away! :-) I stick to the company of
that black cape fellow of Sandeman...

Excellent Mel, now where did I put my Jack Daniels :-).

Dave G3VFP

Went into the shack this morning, checked out the computer and I was
unable to TX on Digipan or PSK-PAL. I checked the mouse and curser on
fldigi and the curser still wouldn't lock in to a PSK signal after
clicking when I moved the mouse.

The only solution was a system restore, I went back to the 31st
October and having done this, fldigi was removed and now, as if by
magic, I could now RX and TX on Digipan and PSK-PAL. Fldigi was
uninstalled and I also removed Digipan because of a fault which
occured years ago and despite three replacement downloads I just
couldn't shift the problem. When Digipan opened the tracks were wide
and spread all over the screen despite being set on PSK 31 and the
only way to stop it was a squirt of RF and then it functioned as a
normal PSK 31 page. It may yet appear again on the downloading I've
made tonight despite removing everything, except in the registry.

I downloaded fldigi on another computer last night, the curser locks
as it should when the mouse is moved. I've just downloaded fldigi on
the shack computer and this time I'll use Quickmix, Britains best
selling concrete, on fldigi, and stop it messing about altering the
settings. Fix the settings in concrete !

Kind regards, Mel G0GQK

Hello Fred,

I believe I did what you suggest, which I what I've always done with
Digipan, move the curser to the PSK transmission, click it and it stays
on the yellow track and starts decoding. When I did this with FLDIGI,
it didn't,it decoded and when I moved the curser it wasn't locked, and
I have two widgets about an inch either side of the curser.

Anyway, what I'm going to do is to remove it, download again and start
with a fresh untouched copy.

Kind regards, Mel G0GQK

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.

Dave

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
