Right now there's a requirement for a Signalink USB interface, a Timewave DSP599 (RS232; native Baudot TX/RX), an Icom CT17 (RS232) and USB CAT cable support for the nearest FT-980. I have two serial and two USB ports on the rear of the Shuttle Micro which is going to be used for the purpose so there should be enough I/O on hand.

More on the shack PC in the Computers area. Off to start another thread...

You can use FLDigi on Winderz too. So, if you are proofing there, go ahead and do the proofing for FLDigi as well :)

Great minds.. and all that..

Though I can't explain you and me.

Have used FLDigi in the past, but switched to HRD and MultiPSK. I like the variety of modes.

I'll keep using the "old" HRD, but it's been about two years since I checked FLDigi out.

There's a version for OS X as well. It's not as mature as the Linux version in that there are a few minor (mostly cosmetic) bugs but it works quite well.

I can't cite the specific milestones, but it seems like Fldigi improves a great deal with each release. 2 years is a long time when it comes to F/OSS development.

...and support older rigs with VFOs that can be set remotely, but don't have the capability of reporting their current VFO setting to the computer; like the FT-736R. Operation wouldn't be quite as seamless as with a modern rig, but at least there would be some support. The computer program would have to memorize the last VFO setting that it issued to the radio rather than polling the radio for the frequency each time it was needed.

I had to get back into the fray... I hopeless:

You keep feeding me straight lines like that, one of these days you WILL get a response. But for the moment, I will refrain.
