Support for ICOM ID-5100

#fldigi
#flrig
Hi: [Thought i had posted this last night but did not see it.] Thank you for everyone's work and help for fldigi/flrig. Is it is possible to add CAT/CI-V support for Icom ID-5100 - it seems it is not supported yet. I am looking to help and here is what i tried so far: Selecting IC-7100 in flrig (and setting ID-5100 CI-V address to 88h) allows some functionality of ID-5100 to work. IC-7100 was selected since it was introduced about the same time and has a "nearby" CI-V address (ID-5100: 8Ch ; IC-7100: 88h)(Icom seems to increment the address with each new radio introduced) It seems that while there are some common Icom commands, there is a lot of difference between models commands. Works on ID-5100 in flrig examples: - change frequency (command 05) - controlling Squelch (SQL ) - SMETER (command 15 02) - PTT (ID-5100 command 22 02 yet IC-7100 command is 1C 00) Does not work on ID-5100 examples: - selecting/switching between A and B : ID-5100 SelectA: 07 D0, SelectB: 07 D1, while IC-7100 uses SelectA: 07 00, SelectB: 07 01 - PWRMETER (both supposedly have same command: 15 11) Is it better to try and make/adapt an XML file https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/xmls/icom/ or to create a CXX file in the build? (did not see example of Select/VFO in XML files) Any suggested would be helpful. 73, kiwin

Support for ICOM ID-5100
Hi: Thank you for everyone's volunteer work for flrig/fldigi. Have been looking for CAT/CI-V support of the ICOM ID-5100 - it does not seem to be directly supported yet in flrig/fldigi - wondering how I can help or suggestions? . Investigation so far: flrig using ID-7100 (and changing the ID-5100's CI-V Address to 88h) allows some functionality. (The ID-7100 seemed to be similar generation since it is 88h while ID-5100 is 8Ch). (the CI-V addresses seem to increment when each new model is introduces) The available CI-V command numbers seem to vary quite a bit per Icom radio model. Some of the commands appear to be the same between ID-5100 and IC-7100: Works for ID-5100: SMETER (15 02) and it displays correctly in flrig PWRLEVEL (14 0A) sets and reads correctly SETFREQ SQL (14 03) Yet others do Not work for ID-5100: PWRMETER (15 11) seems to be same command, but the the power meter graph does not display anything. A/B switching control ID-5100: 07 D0 and 07 D1 versus ID-7100: 07 00 and 07 01 Is it better to start modifying an XML file? https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/xmls/icom/ (VFO A/B not in the IC-7100 XML file) or does one really need to dive into a rig CXX source file? (SelectA, SelectB) Appreciate any suggestions. thanks, kiwin

FLRIG and ftdx10
4
Hi, I wonder if there is something in flrig that when you change bands via set vfo that flrig sends the state of tuner on or off to the next band? Is this by intention or lack of some feature? I can change the bands manually via the radio controls and radio recalls the last known state for band instead. But when I do this in FLRIG it sets tune on. This is Rev 2.0.05. Can this be fixed so it recalls what is set in the radio per band? 73 N9SEO

PTT with CAT - FT847
5
Can one use CAT for PTT when using digital modes and using the Data In Out port for audio with the FT847? Asking for a friend; I don't have an 847 to test. ( This won't work with a Kenwood. ) Thanks; Bob VE3YX

Yaesu FTdx5000 Macro Commands
10
Trying to program a macro button or buttons to take me directly to the calling frequencies, i.e. 7.0715 dial frequency. I have tried using both the RIGCAT and FLDIGICAT macros using the Yaesu CAT command to set VFO A to the frequency, "FA70715000;" but have not been able to get it to work. Wondering if anyone has created a macro for Yaesu that works and can shed some light. Thanks, Jim k2QB

I can't get rid of Farnsworth
3
I've tried to reduce Farnsworth to zero, and 10 is as low as I can set. I want to have no (zero) Farnsworth. Any suggestions? This is how CW > Winkeyer config screen looks when I open it up. And FWIW, WinKeyer won't "Connect" lately. Bill

<PROSIGNS>
I hear BK is not really a prosign, but I'd like to make it one for the purpose of POTA. Is it doable? Also, I can't get the Farnsworth timing to zero-out in the Modem/CW/WinKeyer menu. It's stuck on 10. I know I can remove the Farnsworth with a command in the macros, but that seems kinda awkward. Thanks Bill

Macro Buttons - Style
9
Many years ago there was an option to set the Macro Buttons style that made them look like glass (see through) instead of a solid color. I cannot find an option to do that in version 4.1.09 on my Windows 8.1 computer. Is that optional button style style still available? Thanks, George, NJ3H Redmond, Oregon

RX/RTX Character Set
5
Greetings, I like to decode the Europe feed of news items as described at RTTY.com. Please see the attached picture. The gentleman that is one of the go-to people on this replied to by question as to why apostrophe's are printed as <BEL>. This only happens on the Europe feed and not on the ITTY feed (US news items). Here is his response: ============================================== I suspect there is more than just this problem. I think + will print as ¡° and = will print as ; There may be a few others. This is because there are multiple standards for Baudot. The US uses USTTY and Europe uses ITA2. Everything on the Europe feed prints well on a European teletype machine because those printers are mechanically set up for ITA2. When I first put the Europe feed up, users in Europe complained that things were not printing correctly. One complaint was that apostrophe was triggering the bell on their machines! This is what you are seeing in FLDigi. I originally had the Europe channel on USTTY and had to change it to ITA2 Interestingly, the apostrophe and bell are actually switched between the two code standards, so if I send a BEL, European machines will ring the bell but FLDigi will print an apostrophe! If I send an apostrophe, European machines will print an apostrophe but US machines will ring the bell. ============================================== So my question is: Is there an equivalent character set to ITA2 in FLDigi. There is not one called ITA2. Thanks for reading. Regards, George

What does fldigi 4.2.06 send when T/R is toggled?
6
If TXID (and RXID, I suppose, though it shouldn't have an effect) is turned off, and I toggle T/R, I see fldigi TX something at the beginning and the end. I don't have anything in the TX pane to send. It seems to send something, then a bunch of nothing (expected, because there is naught to send), then when I toggle T/R off, fldigi sends another brief "something". 73 Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua

Hide TX Section of the FLDigi Screen
9
It would be nice if there was an option to hide the TX portion of the screen to allow more room for RX traffic. I am not doing any transmitting and I am sure other hams and SWL folks just might desire more receive room on the screen. I already have set Rig/Log Controls to None. Whoever the powers to be are, please consider this. Thanks very much. This is a great program. Regards, George, NJ3H Redmond, Oregon USA

fldigi 4.2.06 delay dropping PTT after TX with HT
8
I am using a digirig 1.9. Windows 10 fldigi 4.2.06 If I select Tune, when I toggle it off, PTT drops within 1 s. If I toggle T/R with no data to send (just for testing), the delay is there after I toggled T/R > R. The delay is 5-6 s by stopwatch. It was repeatable for many tests. I have all the fldigi delays = 0 where I know to look. I seem to recall that in the past there was no delay...I can check earlier versions. I havna checked this with a mobile. I didn't think to check other HTs, because I figured they are all the same, AND Tune drops PTT immediately. I didna find this on the forum recently, for the searches I could think of. 73 Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua

flrig server/client question
I found "Hamrs" software to assist in logging Pota stations, and although there are a few settings I don't like, this email is to ask about the server/client option flrig provides ( used by Hamrs). when I use flrig, on my desktop, but qsy via wsjtx, flrig follows by cat port used. If I use hamrs on a laptop, then use the server/client option on that laptop. hamrs on that maching, will cause the main machine to follow and cause the radio to qsy ( although mode dos not follow) my question, is , Is the main flrig suppose to go backwards and cause the client to qsy. it does not at this moment it seems to be one way only. is that correct?

Fldigi UI has me flummoxed
6
I have a super basic question. What is the section of the UI called that contains the frequency window, the logging area, etc., and specifically, the mode and bandwidth section called? It's the area between the header and the macro section. I'm looking for a description of all of the functions in that area. Without knowing the correct nomenclature, I can't search. Is there an image that has ball-notes for each item/button? Thanks

Yaesu FT-818, SCU-17 and flrig 2.0.05 on Win 10
2
Hi all, Just a little quirk I noticed (and which caused me quite some cursing and despair): When the FT-818 is in WFM mode (say, used as an ordinary FM radio receiver for your favourite FM broadcast station) and you try to connect it to flrig, the program crashes when trying to initialize the radio. Workaround: Simply switch the transceiver out of the WFM band (say, to any of the normal Ham radio bands, Shortwave or 2m/70cm) before trying to connect to flrig. Thought you might want to know before running into the same issue. 73, Oliver (DL1OVS)
