Dave, I wanted to take a moment to tell you I appreciate your videos. I appreciate the fact that you are a very teaching person “minus the ego.” I appreciate the preparedness you take into your videos and I appreciate the quality. You can tell that you study and you practice what you do.. Keep it up.
Exceptionally well explained. A clear approach to a complex subject. You video is a real service to all hams who want to use digital modes, so you deserve a BIG THANK YOU!
This helpful video is exactly what I was looking for! I have been a Ham for many years but I am just now about to step in to the world of PSK31 and FT8 etc. This video was VERY helpful and probably saved me MANY hours of frustrating hunting and clicking on my computer. I am HOA antenna restricted so the low power modes are very interesting to me, now having to use severely compromised stealth antennas. "Dave" to the rescue again! Thanks SO much!
Thanks Dave - That helped clear up a problem with loading FLDIGI & FLRIG. - Born in Climax, CO, I have great fondness for your columbine photos/descriptions too. !
Thanks Dave! Digital modes are the only way I can enjoy my hf rid because of local powerline noise, so this video is very helpful. For anyone wanting to use these modes alot, the Icom-IC 7200 is one of the easiest radios to use. I had the 718 and without a signalink for sound and some sort of cable for rig control it was very difficult to use. That's the main reason I'm selling it. Using vox will work but it's not practical because if there's a noise or someone talking near you it'll key up and that's not good. Keep these great videos coming Dave. You are helping alot of people.
Hey Dave! Your very good at what you do.. Thanks so much for making these videos. I am just getting back in to hamming after a very long time. My last digi modes were AMTOR and Pactor, so I'll have a lot to catch up on but you are making it easier ! I 73's de K8KEM. David in Ohio
Dear Dave, I too want to thank you for your superb videos and your teaching skills. As a new(ish) HAM, I have been looking forward to all that the General class offers(I test in a week), especially in the digital area. This video answered a lot of my questions and look forward to all the fun in the future. 73 KE8JXI
Old video now, but useful as I'm trying to setup FLDigi for PSK-31 usage. The new version seems to have the configuration windows a bit different! Perhaps time for an updated video? Thanks!
Trying to set the Signalink on a beelink Win11 to talk through an IC-2730A. this is immensely helpful. I took plenty of notes. this will be very helpful. for the time being it went into blue screen mode after I plugged the Signalink in. I'll definitely be checking back once I get past this. 73, KN4GEI
Dave, can you please do a detailed video of setting up FLDigi to communicate with the IC-7300, just like you did for WSJT-X? I can't get FLdigi to talk to the IC-7300 but WSJT-X works great.
Dave, I'm trying to set up FLDIGI in windows 10... Don't have the choice of the "Codec" speaker in my sound options, only realtec... I downloaded the Silicon Labs CP210xvcpinstall driver. It installed and is ready, but I cannot find it in my device mgr, or in sound, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks! Jim
Hey, Dave, thanks for another great episode. Do you happen to know anywhere I can get the rig software for fldigi to interface with the Icom 7300? I find it very odd that fldigi does not offer built-in interface for one of the most popular amateur rigs on the market.
fldigi has been around for several years, is an (unfunded) open source project, so someone has to write the interface. Look at flrig. It seems to have more rigs in it and is available the same place as fldigi. I use flrig to interface with my Yaesu FTDX3000.
Dave, Thank you for the good videos that you produce. I just watched the first two videos about FLDIGI. I have resolved to get it running on my equipment. Our local ARES / RACES group uses FLDIGI and I want to join them. Thanks, Bob Jackson WB2BJW
Hi Dave, I followed you step by step on 2 laptops, one running Windows 7 the other 10. I get up to the point at 11 minutes where I'm supposed to get a box where I can go to TUNE. I don't get that box on either laptop. I have a Signalink and FT-897 hooked up. So, I'm stuck here, any suggestions? 73 - KQ2N
Nice video. I’ve played around with FLDIGI on OSX/Win/Raspbian, but never properly tweaked the audio levels. Now I know how to do this versus just guesstimating their “sweet spots”. I was using just little external USB soundcard devices (VOX for a while, then made a crude PTT interface with a serial module), but just went for a SignaLink. Preparing to make the transition from just U/V to HF. I’m hearing impaired so digital data modes are of especial interest. I can get by with my hearing aids for voice (analog FM and DMR aren’t _too_ bad with my hearing loss), but will probably use digital data modes more than voice on HF. Yeah, getting into radio as a hobby when I’ve lost much of my hearing probably sounds (pun intended) strange, but I see limitations as opportunities...
Dave, After playing around some more, I started to get the feel of the software, figured it out!! Computers and software, don't ya just love 'em! Good video though. 73 de KQ2N
You should point out that many radios (e.g. my Icom706iiG) will need a separate CAT CI-V cable (USB to mini) to control the radio's frequency and mode. It caught me trying to set up fldigi and flrig. The Signalink is just an audio sound card. However, you still can use fldigi by manually setting the frequency on the radio and matching that in the fldigi window.
I'm new to this so I'm trying to figure out is FLDigi similar to packet radio ? Something like a TNC that uses a sound card. And what transfer rates can you achieve ?
Packet radio uses what is now ancient technology from the dawn of the Internet age. FT8 uses the latest thinking in error-free, weak signal, space-age work. Like a Cessna compared to a 787.
Thx Dave. Great video. Works well for Windows 10 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. However, having trouble for working on Windows 10 32-bit operating system, x64-based processor. Is there any solution for this? Thx in advance.
After downloading and setting the program up, I don't have anything on the waterfall. The scope on the bottom right shows a signal. The dimond signal level indicator on the bottom right also shows high/low signal levels. What am I missing?
I followed precisely how to configure that program by watching the setup on RUclips, with the same negative results. Since I'm not a Programmer and do not have a PhD in any scientific field, that program now resides in my recycle bin. Thanks anyway By the way, I have a two letter call, and worked in the electronics field down to the component level on dedicated computers back in 1976 starting with the Z80 processor when I was first licensed.
@@luigi5890 I'm sorry you give up so easily. Don't. Persevere. Have you downloaded the instruction book from www.w1hkj.com/files/manuals/US_English/fldigi-help.pdf? The program is in common use, so someone at your local ham club may be able to help. Setting up for digital modes can be frustrating because of the number of settings. There are lots of ducks and they all need to be in a row. There's also an online support group at groups.io/g/winfldigi. Give these a try.
Hi Dave. I'm working through your video about FLDIGI. Got hung up where I tell (configure) the program what radio I'm using. I'm trying to use my Yaesu FT-2900 with a Signalink sound card. Well the FT-2900 isn't on the dropdown list of radios the FLDIGI program will work with. Bummed. My interest is in trying Packet. If the FLDIGI doesn't do VHF. Can you recommend a descent program to work with what I've got to work with. I've got a bug to look into FT8. I have a new FT-891 that I haven't been successful getting on the air yet. (time issues, antenna, apartment dweller.). Will I still need a sound card for that? Just thought I'd through that in there, but I'm most interested in doing packet and I'm seriously frustrated that I haven't had any luck "Hamming" at all. But I won't give up. You're one of my favorite Radio Gurus. I really appreciate what you do for us. Thanks de W2AAO, 73
Fldigi has a companion program available from the same source called flrig. It helps with compatibility between fldigi and rigs. I have to use it with my FTDX3000.
I see that you cover this a bit in "Installing FLDIGI for amateur radio digital modes: AD#26" , I realize I need to be patient. It is beyond frustrating. My whole Amateur Radio experience has been this way. Which is why I decided to pursue Digital. Just to try to find something that will make things more pleasurable. Heck I'm not even sure if we're still doing digital on VHF. I say this because the selection of compatible radios in the dropdown menu seem to be mostly , if not all HF. (at a quick glance). I see there may be some help on the Signalink website. Perhaps that's what I need to do. While I realize, also, that the software is free, I'm thinking this part could be much easier given the obvious intelligence that went into producing it. I guess I tend to learn best from the experiences of others, rather than trying to make my own. (Wise man learns from his mistakes - wiser man from the mistakes of others. However I maintain, Knowing HOW to find the answer is Infinitely superior to KNOWING the answer). Work smarter not harder. All that jazz. Thanks for your responses Dave. Have a wonderful Christmas. 73 W2AAO
Yes it does, but getting it set up can take lots of research on the Internet about how to route the sound output of the SDR to the input of the computer's sound card.
I don't. It's only mentioned in passing in the video. I found I had to use it because it's the only way to communicate with my FTDX3000 from fldigi. I'll put a video on flrig on the list. Thanks for the suggestion. 73
Got this to work in Windows but Linux Mint is a problem. I want to key my rig with a serial port but none of them seem to work. The list is s0-s7 but I only have three serial ports. In the windows version I use com 1 (that's where the cable is connected) and DTR. I'm not using any rig control software. Any ideas? Thanks.
Dave are using one cord between the computer and the radio? I an finding the FLRIG controls my radio but immediately puts my Icom 7610 in transmit. Any suggestions. K2MR. Ron
What is the best way to connect a laptop to a Yaesu 857D radio to use FLDIGI? I have a CAT programming cable, but I don't know if that can be used to control the radio with FLDIGI. Do I need a special cable (bought or made up)?
There are a couple things going on here. You need to get the audio in and out of the radio. There are a variety of interfaces available to do this, such as the SignaLink USB (be sure to specify the right cable). The second is to control the push-to-talk (PTT). I suspect that you can do this via the CAT cable, and you'll likely be able to set up FLDigi to do this, but interfaces such as the SignaLink USB will also control PTT for you. I used a SignaLink USB for several years quite satisfactorily, and at $99 they are inexpensive considering all the problems they solve. Good luck! 73, Dave
This is a great video. I love the way you thoroughly explain how to set things up. I have only one question. Have you covered or could you point me in the right direction to how to do this setup on a linux mint laptop? I don't have windows, but do have linux mint 18.3 LTS. Would the setup be pretty much the same?
I'm afraid I can't do more except point you to the Internet. I don't have a linux computer nor have I played with one long enough to really understand it. I do have a Raspberry Pi first generation, but have done very little with it.
My question about fldigi is about the IC-7300.xml file on Sourceforge. It sounded simple enough, just download it and drop it into the fldigi folder. Problem is, when you download it, instead of getting a nice neat file labeled IC-7300.xml, you get a web page of text. There is NO option to use Save As for .xml. So how the heck do I make this web page of text into a .xml file to put in the fldigi folder?
I use Chrome and can't duplicate your problem. But, if you get a screen that's full of what looks like html text, then position the cursor somewhere on the page, press Control-A to select all the text, press Control-C to copy it. Then open NotePad (it comes with Windows and is found under Windows Accessories). Position the cursor in the blank window, then press Control-V to copy the text there. Then select "Save As." For file type choose "All Files." Enter the name you want, probably IC-7300.xml. Then you have your file. Good luck! 73
Someone on QRZ posted it in a .zip file so I finally got it, but thanks for responding. Once I put it in the Fldigi folder it finally synced up and seems to be working fine with just the USB cable. So after a week stuck on the .xml file problem it's all good now. I still wonder why the IE browser did this to me.
Dave, Great tool for Windows OS. Do you have install instructions for PC Linux users? I installed FLDIGI from the repository but can't find a link to any of the other NBEMS apps, e.g. FLMSG. 73 Dave KD2DB
I'm a bit confused. Fldigi doesn't need drivers per se, but a second sound card might, and if you are doing rig control from your computer, you may need to install an adapter from USB to RS-232 that would need a driver. Computer problems like that can be difficult to solve, but once solved, the solution tends to last. You might also look at the flrig software, available from the same place you got fldigi. I need to use flrig to control my Yaesu FTDX3000, as fldigi won't do it properly directly. Good luck! Consult members of your local club; you'll likely find someone who has already been through this. 73, Dave

Dave like you I am using a Ftdx3000. The rig list does not include said radio. Which rig did you choose.? My guess FTdx1200?
Use flrig in addition to fldigi. You get flrig from the same place as fldigi. It make the connection to the FTDX3000 easy.

Fldigi doesn't need drivers per se, but a second sound card might, and if you are doing rig control from your computer, you may need to install an adapter from USB to RS-232 that would need a driver. Computer problems like that can be difficult to solve, but once solved, the solution tends to last. You might also look at the flrig software, available from the same place you got fldigi. I need to use flrig to control my Yaesu FTDX3000, as fldigi won't do it properly directly. Good luck! Consult members of your local club; you'll likely find someone who has already been through this. 73, Dave
I haven't used RTTY PSK31 or OLIVIA SSTV etc for 3 years, so I am hoping I can get on air using these modes again soon.... VK2LEE
Good luck! Digital modes can be a lot of fun. You should bite the bullet and try FT8 too.
thanks Dave will be back have some downloading to do, using a SignalLink my rig has no sound card. FLDX-1200. I belive I will have less hair. tnxs 73 KQ4CD

Fldigi 4.1.08 version is not working with windows 10 Version 1903.
I'll have to look into that. I'm sure fldigi will get that fixed eventually.
And if you're running Ubuntu: sudo apt install fldigi
And skip the first four minutes of this.
Dave they will not accept my E-Mail address. can not get any pass this crap
I wish he was less animated - it seems unnatural
Lots of people have objected to the hand-waving. So now I make videos while seated. It really reduces the hand-waving.
@@davecaslerKeep waving and keep up all the gestures, it adds life to the presentations!
Nice video, BUT 1) please keep your hands still when talking and 2) please stop drawing on your screenshots continuously when talking.
As Popeye said, I yam what I yam.
@@davecaslerPlease keep up the drawing on the screenshots.
It will s an advantage of the visual medium to draw attention to what is being spoken.
This is pretty old and doesn't match how fldigi is now. It would be nice if posters realize this and make a new video and delete old out-of-date ones.
Thanks Dave! Digital modes are the only way I can enjoy my hf rid because of local powerline noise, so this video is very helpful.
For anyone wanting to use these modes alot, the Icom-IC 7200 is one of the easiest radios to use. I had the 718 and without a signalink for sound and some sort of cable for rig control it was very difficult to use. That's the main reason I'm selling it. Using vox will work but it's not practical because if there's a noise or someone talking near you it'll key up and that's not good.
Keep these great videos coming Dave. You are helping alot of people.
