Fldigi v4.2.06 now available

The development team led by Dave, W1HKJ have announced the latest release of Fldigi.

Fldigi is a modem program for most of the digital modes used by radio amateurs today: CW, PSK, MFSK, RTTY, Hell, DominoEX, Olivia, and Throb are all supported. It can help calibrate a sound card to a time signal and do frequency measurement tests. As with all of the FL suite, Flrig supports PowerPC, Intel (i386) and Apple Silicon (M1) processors with individual downloads available for each architecture. Download the latest version of Fldigi here.

    Version 4.2.06 maintenance release

mfsk for QRP Labs qmx/qmxp
* remove silence period after preamble
. qmx drops transmit signal after initial mfsk preamble
. RsID signal should not be used with qmx series xcvr


ADIF correction
* correct various FeldHell ADIF reports:
. Feld Hell <MODE:4>HELL
. Slow Hell <MODE:4>HELL
. Feld Hell X5 <MODE:4>HELL
. Feld Hell X9 <MODE:4>HELL
. FSK Hell-245 <MODE:7>FSKH105
. FSK Hell-105 <MODE:7>FSKH245
. Hell 80 <MODE:6>HELL80

In the current ADIF specification
https://adif.org.uk/314/ADIF_314.htm#Mode_Enumeration
- FSKH105 and FSKH245 do not exist as MODE in the ADIF specification
- HELL80 is a SUBMODE rather than MODE, so should be exported =
as <MODE:4>HELL <SUBMODE:6>HELL80

. <MODE:4>HELL <SUBMODE:8>SLOWHELL
. <MODE:4>HELL <SUBMODE:6>HELLX5
. <MODE:4>HELL <SUBMODE:6>HELLX9


FSQ rx/tx freq
* Remove variable frequency selection on configuration tab


color prefs
* move color definitions from configuration to a separate
prefs file to allow independent color renderings.
* specify all colors as a triad: red, green, blue 0 to 255


Main dialog position
* allow location on left-center-right monitors.


Micro modems
* change name to avoid double word parsing issues with
frequencies2.txt


colors and scheme
* allow user to select default background and foreground
colors
. supplements command line usage


@QSY+ macro tag
* QSY after TX to RX transition


autotools
* update m4 macros


fw / ww
* simultaneous farnsworth / wordsworth keying.
if and only if: wordsworth < farnsworth < keying wpm


Wordsworth keying
* Correct spacing algorithm using smaller intervals
of silence to avoid audio stream buffer overflow


UDP/CLOUD log record
* add write log record to UDP socket concurrent with other
internal and external logbook recording. UDP record in
ADIF format and contains the fields specified on the UDP
field selection dialog.
* Add field selection for cloud logbook export
* UDP and CLOUD export records are terminated by the <EOR>
tag.
* Make field selection paradigm identical for udp and cloud
exports.
* ADIF specification compliance
. change frequency field comma, ",", to period "."


FMT thread
* insure that FMT thread is closed when modem is deleted
. windows gags on multiple threads writing to same object
* put a whole file lock on the csv file during entire time
it is being written to by the FMT modem. Excel is an
ultra greedy application that attempts to lock a file before
any reads or writes and does so even to a file opened for
write by another program. Bah Humbug!
