Hi Jonathan, Glad you got it all working! Boy, the phone automation with sound files is quite dicey. The first issue is how your get the audio into the radio. You could rig up a interface from the computer soundcard to the mic plug and push the audio that way, or devise a way to send a CAT command to the radio to switch to data-mode to send the audio directly into the radio's sound card. And that's just the beginning! Now you have to setup all the audio files to do the exchanges. There are really in depth instructions here: n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/setup/function-keys/#special-measures-for-ssb-function-keys . It really is a daunting task. That's why I don't use the ESM mode for SSB. Stu AG6AG

Hi Rob, Great Question! The settings for the window you speak of is actually part of N1MM+. I've personally never messed with the settings but here is where they are... The font settings are under the N1MM+ Config menu. You will find a Manage Skins, Colors and Fonts item. Select that and you should find an area to edit the font size for the digital window. Hope that helps, and let us know if it works! Stu AG6AG

@@AG6AG Thanks Stu, all done I can read the data now hi hi hi.

Hi Kevin, Down in the bottom right corner of FLDigi you will see a box with 0.0 in it and single and double arrows on either side. This is a Transmit DB adjustment. You can adjust the transmit volume inside of FLDigi and it will not affect the settings in either windows or the radio. Hope that helps! Stu AG6AG

Hi Mike, I think what you are looking for is {TIME2}. I do not have a video on the macros as of yet. It would probably be a long and boring one... :). My main reference for F-keys and Macros is: n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/setup/function-keys/#macros It contains everything you ever wanted to know. You might want to glance at the {EXCH} variable as well. Of course you can't edit much in the contest setup. Hope that helps! Stu AG6AG

Hi Smitty, Since N1MM is now the big dog in the N1MM / FLDigi relationship, you actually edit the F-Key macros in the main logging window of N1MM. The you can right click the buttons on the data screen and select import macros. These are located in the N1MM user directory usually located under Documents. The good news is that the default data macros for each contest are pretty close to what you probably want and require only limited editing. Here is more info on how to use this stuff: n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/setup/function-keys/ Hope that helps! Stu AG6AG

@@AG6AG Well I was still having problems working it. There were some things I needed to learn more about in Fldigi. I figured since Fldigi is a popular program it should be able to do almost anything other programs could do. So I went back to it and the forum for help. And now I am contest experienced from this week ends contest. I think I will stay with it.

Hi Chris, There are a ton if places to edit macros in both N1MM+ and FLDigi. I would advise for non contest digital QSOs to just use FLDigi in standalone and import the ADIF log into your main log program when you are done... Here is some good reading on macros in general for both N1MM+ and FLDigi: www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp/macros_sub_page.html n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/setup/function-keys/ Stu AG6AG

@@AG6AG Thank you for your reply. Can one use the same method to transfer logging data as I use for EQSL?

You are right about running RTTY via FSK. Much cleaner, but I like PSK31 via AFSK because there is a backspace, and I type like I have bananas on on the end of my palms... *LAUGH* Glad you liked the video! Stu AG6AG

Hi Robert, The Makrothen RTTY Contest is fully supported by N1MM+ Here is the link regarding the contest: n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/manual-supported/contests-setup/setup-digital-contests/#makrothen-rtty-contest And FLDigi works great within N1MM+ with the FTdx3000. I know because I use one as well! Just follow the instructions in the video(s) and you should be fine. Here is the N1MM+ play list: kzfaq.info/sun/PLvg1CrZfziQtOzly7zhzusO2sIEFDz3HP Stu AG6AG

Yes, but not the way that you are used to... You can have up to 4 additional monitoring windows running at the same time. This is done by creating additional FLDigi Directories and copying the FLDigi EXE into each of the directories. This allows you to decode a stream in each instance. Here is the info from the N1MM+ Website: n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/manual-operating/digital-modes/#additional-rx-windows-for-rtty I use this all the time to listen to more then one signal. Hope this helps, Stu AG6AG

Hi Aleziss, It's an N1MM thing. They want to control everything from start to finish. You can certainly import the ADIF log from a clean FLDigi log and massage it to work... But, at the end of the day, going through all the hoops really pays off at the end... Stu AG6AG

Hi Jindrich, The reason you need to copy the EXE is so you don't hose your standard FLDigi config. You can copy it anywhere you want, but you need it in it's own directory to work properly with N1MM+ and not mess with your daily config. That all said, I guess if you are not using FLDigi for anything but contests then it wouldn't matter? You can also copy the EXE to different directories and register them as additional monitors. Here is a link to the actual installation instructions as per N1MM+: n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/manual-operating/digital-modes/#digital-fldigi-for-sound-card-modes -- Stu

@@AG6AG Nope sir. The fldigi instance started from N1MM has its own configuration, which is blank in the beginning. That was kinda annoying because I had to enter everything I have had configured before, except maybe those things that N1MM logger copied from its own configuration, such as maybe station call sign etc. One config parameter is especially annoying: fldigi when asked to shut down displays confirmation dialog by default. In some contests where you can use both digi and non-digi modes, after switching from digi to eg. ssb, the logger hangs because it waits for fldigi process to terminate, but fldigi does not, because it's confirmation dialog window does not have focus and is covered by N1MM windows. And what is peculiar, it is not possible to configure this instance of fldigi not to show the dialog because this part of configuration is not accessible in waterfall-only mode, which is how of is launched by N1MM. If what you say was true, this problem would not exist because my standalone configuration terminates without asking. Unfortunately, both N1MM and fldigi contain annoying design flaws, as a result of is not very comfortable to use them, especially together. But so far I didn't find better contesting logger than N1MM, so I have to live through it. On the other hand, the logger in fldigi is horrible, especially in contests, so in some sense combining N1MM and fldigi is sort of better option. And for multi-mode contests where some stations explicitly ask for digital qso after completing cw or fone, or vice versa, N1MM is the only option (especially when the exchange contains QSO number...).
