Common settings for Fldigi

This is for reference if you upgrade or reinstall the program, deleting the Fldigi .files which keep user settings. For complete setup help go to Fldigi online help and the help for your interface.

Only check rig control if you are actually using either CAT or hamlib rig control.

Use this setup if you are using an interface other than Signalink USB.

You will have to find the COM port that your device is plugged in to.

Here is how you set up Windows Vista for use with the Signalink USB interface. Go to control panel >hardware and sound> Manage audio devices

First make sure you have the USB cable to the Signalink plugged in, and the power button of the Signalink on. You’ll see green light light up .

Make sure you have no other audio inputs such as headphones or microphones plugged into your system since they will confuse Vista.

Vista

The signal link will be recognized as USB audio codec.

Make sure that your speakers output level is set above 80% for the push to talk function on the interface to work. Test it in Fldigi by pushing the tune button at the top right of the screen. If the red push to talk light works you’re good.

In Fldigi configuration pane, set sound card sample rate to 32000 if using the Tigertronics SL-USB interface. This seems to work the best. If the sample rate is wrong you may get pulsing when you send a tone with the tune button. I corrected the sound card against WWV to arrive at the 59 PPM factor. You may get different results.
