FLDigi Application Suite from W1HKJ.

This suite of programs enable Amateur Radio Digital Modes operation using a PC (Personal Computer). Fldigi operates in conjunction with a conventional HF SSB radio transceiver, and uses the PC sound card as the main means of input and output to the radio. The software also controls the radio by means of another connection, typically a serial port.

Fldigi is multi-mode, which means that it is able to operate many popular digital modes without switching programs.

Fldigi includes all the popular modes, such as DominoEX, MFSK16, PSK31, and RTTY.

fldigi - Digital Modes Communications

flrig - Rig Control program which interfaces with fldigi

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • A transceiver control program to be used stand alone or with FLDIGI.
  • The supported transceivers all have some degree of CAT and teh UI changes to accommodate the degree of control available.

flaa - RigExpert Antenna Analyzer Control Program

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • The most common use of the antenna anlyzer is to measure standing wave ratio(SWR) and input impedance(Z) over a frequency range.
  • Result is plotted as either SWR or the real and imaginary components of the input impedance.

flamp - File transmissions via Amateur Multicast Protocol

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • FLAMP is a program for AMP or Amateur Multicast Protocol.
  • An flamp session will transmit one or more files with one or more iterations of the transmission.
  • Each file is broken into blocks, each of which has a check sum. The receiving station saves the blocks that pass check sum.

flarq - ARQ data transfer utility for fldigi

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • Automatic repeat request (ARQ) is an error-control method for data transmission.
  • ARQ uses acknowledgements and timeouts to achieve reliable data transmission over an unreliable service.
  • If the sender does not receive an acknowledgment before the timeout, it usually re-transmits the packet until the sender receives an acknowledgment or exceeds a predefined number of retransmissions.

flcluster - Telnet client to remote DX Cluster Servers

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • flcluster can connect to and display data from DX cluster servers (commonly AR-Cluster, CC-Cluster, and DX Spider).
  • Designed to work stand alone or as a helper application to fldigi.
  • It can move call, mode, and frequency data from a spotted QSO to the appropriate fldigi controls.
  • It can query fldigi for the same items when generating a spot report.

fllog - Logook application which can use same data file as fldigi

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • The logbook server maintains a set of QSO logbook fields that may be sufficient for casual operating, contesting and some certificate logging.
  • All fields captured in the logbook are maintained in an ADIF database that can be read by any logbook program (that can read the ADIF text format).
  • The server can open any logbook adif file, including those created by fldigi.
  • The database uses "flat files" and simultaneous use by more than a single program may corrupt the file.
    • You should NOT open an adif logbook file by more than one program at a time.

flmsg - Editor for ICS 213 Forms

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • A simple forms management editor for the amateur radio supported standard message formats.
  • Form data can be transferred between computers using standard internet email or via radio frequency broadcasts.
  • flmsg forms can be very complex and include embedded images and other controls that make data entry less error to prone.
  • Only the information contained in the form entry controls is transferred between computers.
  • The form template must reside on each flmsg computer that will be used to create, edit, or review the data.

flnet - Net Control Assistant for Net Activities (Check-In Application)

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • Provides the operator with a real time tool to assist in managing the net activities.
  • Allows rapid entry, search, pick and display of all stations calling in to the net.
  • All operations on the main screen are accomplished with keyboard entries only.

flpost - NEMs post office

flwrap - File encapsulation and compression for transmission over amateur radio

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • Allows transmission of a text message, image, or binary file to either single or multiple stations and for each receiving station to verify that the transmission was received without error.
  • Supports text and these file formats: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, ico, zip, gz, tgz, and bz2

flwkey - Winkeyer (or clone) control program for K1EL Winkeyer series

  • from: http://www.w1hkj.com/
  • flwkey is a simple interface to the Winkeyer series of CW code generators.
  • It can be used with the Winkeyer 1.x and 2.x series and the RigExpert and others that use the K1EL chipset or emulate it's behavior.
