Double click on a callsign and it's automatically entered into the log. A simple click on the tickertape and the main window is automatically set to the signal.Īnd, keeping a record of a contact is made easier too. Then I found that "fldigi" came with a dropdown psk monitor which decodes and displays in a tickertape format up to 20 signals within the current passband. What I did initially miss was the "DM780" feature where you could hover the mouse cursor over signals on the waterfall to get a mini readout of activity. It talks to my FT2000 without having to first load the HRD bloatware. Unlike "DM780", the digital modes module which is part of the Ham Radio Deluxe suite, there's no waiting forever for it to start while showing pictures of the author and his dog. The main program is just on 6.7MB and requires no special installation. After all, a program so small with such a clean and uncluttered layout had to be short in features - Boy was I wrong. I came across "fldigi" by accident and almost didn't give it a try. I've used "MixW" for a long time but have never been fully comfortable with its user interface and complex functionality which has remained static over the years.

Still, fldigi is an outstanding digital software package! I wish there were a way to manually tell the software which band you were in. If you don't use it, your display remains locked in the 3.5 MHz band. My only complaint about fldigi is the rig control. Not stellar, but respectable, considering the band conditions, and losing six hours of prime operating time Saturday afternoon. In total, the digital station made 83 contacts. We stopped around 1:50 AM Sunday morning, then started back around 7:00 AM or so. We lost about six hours Saturday afternoon, due to bad coax cables, but once we were able to get "on the air" around 8:20 PM local, we started racking up contacts. One of our local hams, Mitch, AF2M, recommended it, and I took a chance and ran with it. Instead of the usual software (Digipan, MMTTY), I decided to go with fldigi. My wife and I ran the club's digital station at Field Day this year (third year in a row). I am also not sure the decoding sensitivity is as good as MixW, but haven't run them side-by-side yet to compare results. Is there a way of recording and replaying the waterfall? Maybe I missed it. I have not tried the CAT interface yet, but should have no trouble with that on my TS-870. I have still been using MMTTY just because it has a superior tuning indicator, now I am hoping that the indicator in FLdigi will supplant it. I've tried RTTY, MFSK4, 8 and 16, BPSK and Olivia so far and am impressed with the results.

Wow! Easy to install and get going, a really nice, professional look with the buttons where you want them, and handles more modes than I will ever need. After some research I found FLdigi, read some reviews and decided to try it. None of my installed programs could handle that. Listening carefully, I decided it had to be MFSK4.

Since it's free I suppose they are trying to save a bit of bandwidth by giving users the option of only downloading the rig control files they need to control their rig instead of wasting tons of expensive bandwidth by including all the rig control files to every user whether they need them or not.įinally: A Professional Digital Mode ProgramĪ few days ago I tried to copy a station on 17m but could not get MixW or MultiPSK to decode it. Just click save as and put the file in your Rigcat folder.įldigi does not supply all the rig control files in the program download.

All you needed to do was read the manual and then download the appropriate rig control file. Hmm what can I say other then the manual is your friend. I have run it side by side with Digipan and the digital software provided with HRD and FLdigi constantly out performed them all by reliably decoding signals that do nothing but produce gibberish with the others.Īs for the reviewer who complained that Fldigi won't work with the FT-2000. Most hams wouldn't even consider buying a radio they could not open the cover on and fix or modify why in the world would these same people use software that is proprietary and does not give you the option of modifying it to suit your needs.Īnyhow I have been using Fldigi for quite some time and it never fails to impress me. This is a great piece of software thats very well written.Īnd it's open source!!! This is something all Ham radio related software should be. Great software And yes it DOES work with the FT-2000
