  • Help
    • Beginners' Guide
    • On line documentation... - open up default browser to the on-line Help site
    • Fldigi web site... - open up default browser to the www.w1hkj.com primary web page
    • Reception reports... - open up browser to the http://pskreporter.info web page preset to your callsign
    • Command line options - display a list of all command line switches available to the fldigi user
    • Audio device info - displays information about all audio devices detected on the computer system
    • Build info - displays all relevant information regarding the compilation and link for the application - build info
    • Event log - opens a text display window that records various events depending on the level of reporting depth selected.  This is a useful window for reporting problems with the program to the developers.
    • Check for updates... fldigi silently opens a download web site, checks and reports on whether a new version is available.
    • About - Version number and a little about the programmers



Spot button - The "Spot" light button is visible if callsign spotting is enabled.  Use this button to toggle the callsign spotting reporter on and off.  It is automatically turned off when playback is selected in the Files menu.  The main window text is not searched if the viewer is active, i.e., if it is displayed and the current modem is PSK.  See PskReporter and Notifier.

RxID button - toggles the detection of Reed Solomon Identification codes.

TxID button - toggles the transmission of the RSID signal.

Tune button - toggles the "Tune" mode which causes fldigi to insert a tone at the current waterfall frequency.  The peak-to-peak amplitude of this tone is the standard by which you should set your transmitter drive or adjust your antenna matching network.

The right most button is normally not visible.  This is the count-down timer button that is enabled when a macro button has been configured to repeat after a specified number of seconds.  This button shows the count-down to the next transmission.  Pressing the button disables the count and restores fldigi to normal keyboard operation.
