Also, the Icom doesn't have a CW decoder. I am hoping the FLDigi has more flexibility in adjusting to the many RTTY signals that would also be able to see and read than on the small Icom display. I was able to decode a signal at 10.100.80 MHz but I've found some others I think are RTTY, but unable to match the signal width. The Icom R8600 has a built in FSK decoder that I've played with and have some limited success. I can tell you what I would like to do is start with some basics like CW and RTTY. To tell you the truth Mike, I'm not exactly sure what I want to see yet. I appreciate everyone's willingness to help me with this.
NEWS SERVICE RTTY USING FLDIGI SOFTWARE
I feel that just connecting the audio will rob me of a lot of functionality that the FLDigi software can provide me.ĭo I need to also download the FLRig software to be able to allow the FLDigi to work or control my radio? I wasn't sure if that was necessary if I am only using a receiver and not a transceiver.Ĭan anybody provide their settings if they have already successfully connected their R8600 to FLDigi? The Icom has a lot of settings available to change for the rear USB ports along with the FLDigi I have heard that it's easier to pipe in the audio signal from the radio than connecting it, but FLDigi has my radio listed. I haven't tried to actually connect my radio to the computer yet, but I'm not sure the best choice. Attempting to set up this radio in the settings, caused my eyes to glaze over.
NEWS SERVICE RTTY USING FLDIGI PC
I have a Windows 8 PC and have downloaded the software. A whole new world just opened up to me!Īnyway, perusing the YouTube channels I have found some extremely interesting videos relating to decoding using FLDigi. I can't describe the beauty of how awesome this radio is for me, being now able to monitor a wide frequency range in the waterfall spectrum and actually "seeing" signals appear without the need to spin the knob continuously searching for new signals. I just purchased my first SDR based receiver (Icom R8600) and trying to learn it's functionality.
My flagship radio has been the Icom R70 for about 20 years now. In the past I've stuck with mostly old fashioned analog knob tuner radios and such. I have been a part time hobbyist as a SWLer for years.
