Installation FLDIGI.

Introduction

The FLDIGI package - a program that works on almost all computer platforms is designed to transmit and receive both digital species and CW, using macros or input text from the computer keyboard. CW transmission from the key is also possible in pauses of automatic transmission. In the case of digital species, Fldigi displays sound through the sound card. The Fllog hardware magazine and the FLGIG transceiver control program are connected to the program. The following modes are supported:

  • CW
  • Rtty
  • PSK
  • QPSK
  • Contestia
  • Dominoex
  • Mfsk
  • MT63
  • Olivia
  • Thor
  • Throb
  • Hell
  • Fsq
  • et al., except for the types of FT-8/FT-4/JT65A (which uses WSJTX) and SSTV (in the QSSTV program).

The program is free (license GNU General Public License Version 3) and is present in the repositories of many Linux distributions. In Windows and Mac OS, it can be installed by downloading it from the resource https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/ русский язык присутствует (перевод Alexandr Kalugin RX9CDR). Домашняя страница программы: http://www.w1hkj.com/. Fldigi documentation is located at:http://mail.w1hkj.com/fldigihelp/index_of_contents_page.html.

System requirements

Approximate system requirements:

  • I386 processor and higher (recommended AMD FX / Core2Duo and higher)
  • RAM 512 MB (2 GB is recommended and above)
  • Built -in or external sound card 44.1 kHz. 16 bits (for entering and output of sound from a PC to the radio station)
  • External interface for managing a radio station from a computer (CAT interface)
  • Cables for transmitting sound from a PC to a sound card (audio cables can be virtual, for example, hidden in the USB program protocol in the case of amateur ICOM 7300 radio stations, etc.)
  • keyboard
  • mouse
  • Monitor with a resolution of 800x600 and above.
  • Windows, Linux or Mac OS operating system
  • The presence of a radio station (if it is assumed on the air)

Useful capabilities of FLDIGI

1) It has a built -in ABCs of the ABC Morse (CW) - you can control the quality of your program and train the program "Morzyanka".
2) a decoder of many digital species, including Packet, WeFax, Navtex/Sitor-B
3) knows how to transmit TXRSID on the air - a special code identifier of the digital mode, which allows other radio amateurs with the same program to find out in which mode to accept.
4) Fllog hardware magazine for QSO recording with unloading on EQSL.CC and Lotw.
5) the ability to connect to a DX cluster
6) For applications in the field of natural disasters, it can transmit information from ARQ - confirmation of reception. A separate Flarq program.

FLDIGI installation in Linux

Ubuntu and Linux Mint

As a result, a version of 4.1.20 will be installed, for which there is FLDIGI documentation.

Debian

Installation of the same commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install  fldigi

In the case of the SID branch, a newer version of 4.1.23 will be installed.

Installation of FLDIGI version 4.1.23 from the Deb file

Catalog for loading the program of the current version:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/fldigi/download

In the example version 4.1.23-1:

sudo apt-get remove fldigi

Wget http://ftp.ru.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fldigi/fldigi_4.1.23-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i fldigi_4.1.23-1_amd64.deb

Compilation from the initial texts of programs

This method is useful only for non -standard hardware architectures.
As a rule, the installation methods listed above.
Sources can be downloaded with github and compile the program, at will:
