#Field day macro for FLdigi update#

The FT-450, FT-950 and others share a similar set of commands and responses. Yaesu rigs have nearly all used unique command/response structures until just recently. ICOM uses almost identical command/response strings for all of its transceiver line. The easiest way is to adapt an existing rig xml file for a rig that is similar to your own. You can use a rig.xml file specific for your transceiver or write and test one yourself. It uses command / response definitions that are found in various rig.xml files. RigCAT is a rig control that was developed specifically for fldigi. The defaults are local host, 127.0.0.1, and port 12345. The computer address and port must match the location and configuration of flrig. flrig may reside on the same computer or on another that can be reached on the local area network. fldigi will attempt to connect to the flrig server and will do so periodically until the connection is established. Select the 'Enable flrig xcvr control with fldigi as client' for this method of control. Older transceivers will impose the greatest restriction especially when it's firmware is busy with internal processes.

The update limit is usually imposed by the transceiver and the baud rate selected for the transceiver-computer interface. These changes are communicated ten times each second. Transceiver control changes may be made at the transceiver, flrig, or fldigi and the change will be annunciated at the other two. It is the recommended method of control when your transceiver supports CAT operations and has been coded for flrig.įldigi and flrig communicate changes in transceiver state using the xmlrpc protocol over a local socket. Using flrig with fldigi can enhance your digital mode operating experience. Flrig is a separate program that provides nearly 100% control over more than 60 different transceivers.
