It seems that the sound card did not support full duplex operation. I thought it was an fldigi issue until changing some audio settings fixed the very slow waterfall display I was seeing. I also had an issue with the onboard sound on my shack machine.

There are a few hoops to jump through to get the 32 bit rig hamlib libraries needed by cqrlog for rig control to install under a 64 bit install. If you have the choice, run fldigi and cqrlog on a 32 bit version of Linux even if you have a 64 bit cpu. I have run into a couple of issues with the software that are easily avoidable. noise on my waterfall after tweaking some of the display and processing settings. I saw considerable improvement in the clarity of signal vs. Fldigi's decoding ability is very good, and there are customizable options in the settings to make use of more hardware-demanding processing algorithms if you want. Most of my experience has been with psk, but I've made successful RTTY contacts as well. I just turn on the radio, fire up fldigi and cqrlog, and hit the air. It's reached the point where I don't have to think about what needs to be tweaked to get on the air with digital modes.
I use cqrlog for logging, and fldigi will pass data to cqrlog in the background if cqrlog is configured to accept it. I use the built-in PSK browser a lot for finding cqs, and have also used the pskreporter logging function to send reception reports. I find that fldigi meets my needs very well. The help available is detailed and clear. I like the simple interface and find it very easy to switch between sending macros and typing. After gleaning the information I needed to configure the hamlib interface to my 718 from the web, I was able to get on the air with very little trouble. I am very impressed by the ease of use of this program.

I have also used fidigi and the xggcomms cable with the internal audio input and output on my MacBook Pro under OSX. I'm currently using fldigi under Ubuntu 11.04 with a Behringer UCA202 USB audio interface and an xggcomms audio and CAT interface (IC-Cable-8). I've been running fldigi for the last six months in conjunction with my IC-718. Click on the mouse to drag them, and you can slide them atop the signal. It just explains itself - there's a waterfall display (frequency along the horizontal axis, time along the vertical), and little markers that delimit the mark/space frequencies or the bandwidth limits. Again, it really IS a wonderfully intuitive program. Regarding that user interface, don't let the "not 'Mac-ish'" comment frighten you away if you're a diehard Mac user. BIG surprise - it was MUCH harder to use! After fighting my way through it for a while, I put it aside and basically haven't touched my eval copy since.īiggest minuses of fldigi are that it isn't very "Mac-ish" (it's clearly ported over from the *nix world, with no GUI rewrite done at all), and that it's missing a few modes I really wish it had (particularly AMTOR/SITOR and SSTV). Now THAT'S intuitive and logical design!Īfter playing around with fldigi for a day, I decided to download Multimode for evaluation and see how much better a "professional" package that I'd have to pay for was.
Within 15 minutes I was receiving a weather fax, WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE DOCUMENTATION. Grabbed fldigi because (a) it's free, and (b) it runs on the Mac. Right now, I'm using it to eavesdrop on HF communications (don't have a transmitting antenna up yet).
