Fldigi is a popular digital mode program that is preloaded on RSS. Detailed instructions are beyond the scope of this manual, please refer to the Fldigi web site:
This Help topic covers use of Fldigi in RSS.
Radio Connection
RSS and Fldigi both use the Hamlib radio control library. Using the Hamlib "Net rigctl" radio selection in Fldigi it is possible to have both RSS and Fldigi control the radio.
Connect RSS to your radio in SETTINGS>Radio. Go to Fldigi Configuration>Rig>Hamlib. Select Hamlib NET rigctl (Beta) for Rig and localhost:<RSS Port> for Network Server. You can now control frequency from Fldigi or RSS.
The <RSS port> is determined by the account you wish to use in RSS.. Use the port number shown in RSS SETTINGS>Radio>Rigctl Port.
Logbook Connection
Contacts logged in Fldigi are automatically transferred to the active log in RSS for the account specified by the sync option in RSS SETTINGS>Users>Edit>Sync Fldigi Log.
Audio Connection
RigPi Audio or a radio CODEC is used for input and output audio for Fldigi. Since Audio is limited to one application at a time, make sure the Mumble Client used for VoIP is not running. Choose the audio capture and output devices in the Capture and Playback drop-down lists in Fldigi Configuration>Audio associated with your setup.
Use these settings:
Using RigPi Keyer with Fldigi
Fldigi supports the K1EL Winkeyer for sending CW. To configure RigPi Keyer, go to Configure>Config Dialog>Modem>CW>WinKeyer. Select /dev/ttyS0 for the Ser Port. Select other options as desired, then click Connect. The indicator light in the Connect button turns yellow, and "Connected ti Winkeyer h/w/version 30" is displayed in Fldigi. You can now use Fldigi to send CW through the RigPi Keyer. (Note: Fldigi will report that Winkeyer version 31 or higher is required to use the RigPi Keyer for the Fldigi TTY mode if an older chip is found.)
