Installation Installing

       * Locate and download the correct archive for your operating system from the FLDIGI web site.
       * Create a suitable folder on your hard drive (for example Programs/FLDIGI) and unzip the archive into this folder.
       * On Windows: Right-click on the executable fldigi.exe, select 'Create Shortcut', and drag the resulting shortcut either to the desktop or to a suitable place in the menu structure.  Double-click on this new shortcut to start the program. You're in business!
       * On Linux: install the executable fldigi to a directory that is on your executable path, ie: /usr/local/bin, ~/bin, etc.  Download the desktop icon from the web site and install in the same directory.  Create a desktop shortcut to the executable and use the icon for the desktop display.

Updating the Program

       * Delete the shortcut you made during installation
       * Repeat the installation process described above, using the same folder. The new program will over-write the old.
       * Make a new shortcut as described above. 

Removing the Program

       * Delete the shortcut you made during installation
       * Locate the program folder you made during installation, delete the contents, and then delete the folder. 

Setting Up

       * Use the menu Configure/Defaults/Sound Card Audio Devices tab to select the sound card you wish to use. You can ignore the other tabs for now.
       * Use the menu Configure/Defaults/Operator item to set the user name, callsign, location and so on.
       * Use the menu Configure/Defaults/Rig Ctrl item to set how you will control the rig. Set 'Ptt' to 'TTY'. If you will control the rig via a serial port, select the COM port you will use, and select which line controls PTT. If in doubt, check both RTS and DTR. You MUST then press the Initialize button.
       * If you plan to use CAT control of the rig via the COM port, check 'use rigCAT'. If in addition you wish to use PTT control via CAT, also then check 'rigCAT PTT'. You MUST then press the Initialize button.
       * Use the menu Configure/Defaults/Misc item to set whether you wish to transmit RSID data at the start of each over (this is for the benefit of others, this setting does not affect RSID reception), and whether you have a slow computer (under 1000MHz) or not. The receiver decoding strategy uses less processor power in 'Slow cpu' mode. If you plan to regularly use the RSID feature on receive, you must leave the 'Start New Modem at Sweet Spot' item unchecked.
       * Each of the modems can be individually set up from the Configure/Modems multi-tabbed dialog. You need not change anything here to start with, although it might be a good idea to set the 'secondary text' for DominoEX ('Dom' tab) and THOR ('Thor' tab) to something useful, such as your call and locator. (Secondary text is transmitted when the text you type does not keep up with the typing speed of the mode - this handy text appears in a small window at the very bottom of the screen). Note that this set of tabs is also where you set the RTTY modem speed and shift, although the default values should be fine for normal operation.
       * Use the menu Configure/Save Config item to save the new configuration.
       * Use your sound card 'Master Volume' applet to select the sound card, the Wave output and set the transmit audio level. You can check the level using the TUNE button, top right, beyond the Menu.
       * The 'Volume' applet can usually be opened by START/Run... and enter 'sndvol32', or from the Control Panel.
       * Use your sound card 'Recording Control' applet to select the sound card, the line or mic input and set the receiver audio level. Watch the waterfall display for receiver noise when setting the level. If you see any dark blue noise, you have the right input and about the right level. The actual setting is not very important, provided you see blue noise. If the audio level is too high, the little diamond shaped indicator (bottom right) will show red. The waterfall may also show red bands. Performance will be degraded if the level is too high.
       * The 'Record' applet can usually be opened by START/Run... and enter 'sndvol32 /r', or from the Control Panel. If opened from the Control Panel, you'll end up with the Master Volume applet, and need to switch using Options/Properties, and selecting the 'Recording' radio button.
