Fldigi User?

Tim - W4TME

If you are an Fldigi user and have downloaded the new 3.22.x version of Fldigi, you should be aware that FlexRadio has provided updated RigCAT XML files for both SmartSDR and PowerSDR that take advantage of some of the expanded text fields.  You can download the new RigCAT xml files using this URL: http://www.w1hkj.com/xmlarchives.html

Tnx, Tim. I plan to upgrade Fldigi soon, and this info will prove most helpful. 73 Ted. WA3AER

Thanks Tim...  I like the little tag at the bottom of your message  "an update is in my immediate future" :-)

Tim ... would you elaborate on the changes?

Tim - W4TME

Sure.  Fldigi has some expanded text fields that are populated by tag pairs in the XML file.  In previous versions, some of this text was deliberately truncated or shortened to fit the field.  Now that the fields are expanded, more descriptive text can be used.  Also the ordering of the RX filter selections was inadvertently backwards in smartsdr.xml so that was fixed too.

And, it you had not upgraded to Fldigi v3.21.78 (or greater) and had not previously downloaded v1.2.0 of the RigCAT XML files, then you were missing out on several CAT stability fixes which some Fldigi users seem to be having with SmarSDR CAT.  
So upgrading to Fldigi v3.22.x and the latest RigCAT XML files should result in a better and more stable overall user experience.

Hi Tim,
I saw the new FM mode listed.  I'm looking forward to SSDR v. 1.4 :-)

Man, you found the other capability feature I stuck in. ;-)

Tim,
When I go to get the XML file and click on SmartSDR it does not download. Instead I get this, "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."   Would you happen to have the xml file you could send me? Since website wont allows us to download it. Its been that way over a week. 

Thanks,    Dan KM6CQ

You want to download the file, not open it in the browser.  How you do that depends on the browser you are using.  Many browsers support this via a context menu that opens when you right click the link.
