You can specify the value of the sweet spot for CW, RTTY and all others. You can also elect to have the audio cursor placed at the sweet spot when changing modes. The sweet spot is used for the <a href="file:///home/dave/dev/dev.FLDIGI/FldigiHelp.working/OperatingControls.html">QSY function</a>. <br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 504px; height: 278px;" alt="" src="images/config-misc-spotting.png"><br><br><div style="text-align: left;">Fldigi allows you to automatically participate in a spotting network maintained by Philip Gladstone. You can see what the web based reporter looks like by visiting this web site: http://pskreporter.info/pskmap?W1HKJ or by simply selecting the menu item "Help / Reception reports..."<br><br>Fldigi will continuously scan for spotted callsigns in the decoded text and send reports in the background if you check the "Automat..." option.<br><br>Reports will also (or only) be sent when you log the QSO into the logbook.<br><br>If you have rig control enabled the reported rig frequency will also be sent to the spotting network. Do not change the Host and Port numbers unless these are changed by Philip.<br><br>You need to press the Initialize to begin reporting spot information. You will receive a warning message if you did not enter your antenna information on the Operator tab.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 501px; height: 142px;" alt="" src="images/config-misc-macros.png"><br></div></div></div></div></div>Fldigi manages multiple files that contain macro definitions. You may want to have the last used macro file be the one available the next time you start fldigi. If so, simply enable the "load last used Macro file on startup" check box. You can also choose to display which macro file was loaded at startup or when a new macro file is loaded. A brief message indicating which file was loaded will be written to the Rx text area if this option is selected.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 503px; height: 116px;" alt="" src="images/config-misc-cpu.png"><br><br></div>When fldigi is executed for the first time it does some tests to determine the performance factor for your central processor unit. If it determines that the cpu is below a critical speed it tries to compensate by modifying some of its timing and algorithms. If you are using a "slow" cpu the "Slow cpu" check box will be enabled. You can also manually check this box if you find that fldigi is not performing well on some of the more esoteric modes such as PSK250, MFSK32, etc.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 505px; height: 290px;" alt="" src="images/config-misc-capture.png"><br><br></div>Fldigi can perform automatic capture of the Rx text stream. The simplest is to simply capture all incoming text to a file. Select this from the lower of the two frames. The Rx file is named "textout.txt" and is written to the directory as shown above. The file can be used to review an execution session, or it can be accessed by an external program. For example it could be parsed to provide a text to speech conversion.<br><br>The NBEMS suite of programs, fldigi, flarq and wrap provide the emergency operator with a set of tools to assist in the transfer of data files over HF and VHF radio. Additional information on flarq is available here: <a href="../FlarqHelpFiles/flarq.html">flarq help system</a>. The program wrap is described here, <a href="../Wrap/index.html">wrap help system</a>. The reception of a wrapped file can be automated by selecting the "Enable detection & extraction" option. Broadcast messages on fixed channels such as are used by MARS can be received and stored without operation intervention. The wrap program can then be used to test for validity and data extraction at some later time.<br><h4 style="text-align: center;"><a href="file:///home/dave/dev/dev.FLDIGI/FldigiHelp.working/index.html">Contents</a></h4></body></html>
