This is shown for the authors Icom 746 Pro. The frequency list can be manipulated with the
- arrow, move current frequency to the list
- X, delete highlighted frequency from the list
- square, delete all frequencies from the list
buttons.
The combo box on the left will allow the selection and control of the operating mode of the transceiver.
The combo box on the right will allow the selection and control of the transceiver bandwidth.
The frequency display is in fact a set of special buttons. Each
digit may be left-clicked on the upper half to increment it by
1, or left-clicked on lower half to decrement it 1. The leading digits will follow suit if a decade
rollover occurs.
The mode combobox, the bandwidth combobox and the frequency display
also annunciate the current transceiver status. If you change
operating mode on the transceiver, that will be annunciated in the
respective combobox and fldigi will adjust any internal parameters
accordingly. Fldigi queries the transceiver 10 times per second
to maintain a lock step with the transceiver.
If you elect to use the hamlib interface then fldigi must be compiled
and linked to the hamlib shared libraries. Data transfers and
responses are entirely within the bounds set by the hamlib libraries
for this type of interface.
If you elect to use the internal rigcat interface flidigi does not
need to be linked to the hamlib shared libraries. Data transfers
and responses are defined in a rig.xml file which contains all of the
required queries and responses in extended markup language format.
Please read the specification document
rigxml
to learn more about this new way of building generic rig interface
definitions and how they are used with fldigi. fldigi will look
for a file in the $HOME/.fldigi directory with the name "rig.xml" which
contains the rig xml definitions for your specific transceiver.
You can download the appropriate xml file from the resource directory
tree
http://www.w1hkj.com/xmls or from the archives
web page. Modify it as necessary and then
place it in the $HOME/.fldigi directory with the name "rig.xml".
