Fldigi-DXLabs Gateway is a bridging application for use with the Digital Modes application
Fldigi by Dave Freese W1HKJ and the DXLabs suite by Dave Bernstein AA6YQ.
Fldigi-DXLabs Gateway works with the following DXLabs applications.
DXKeeper
Qso’s logged in Fldigi will transfer to DXKeeper when the Save QSO Button is pressed. Ability to lookup previous contacts with the callsign entered in Fldigi’s callsign field.
Commander
Commander
Frequency and Mode information is transferred to Fldigi automatically to act as Fldigi’s Rig Control.
DXView
Callsigns entered into Fldigi’s callsign field will trigger a lookup in DXView using the callsings information.
Spotcollector
When Fldigi-DXLabs Gateway is set in SpotCollector to be the Digital Mode Application, Clicking on Spots in SpotCollector will send the spot information to the gateway for setting the correct mode and frequency in Fldigi.
The current versions of Fldigi can be found on our software page.

Hello
Best wishes for 2009
Great bridge programs (tested Mixw and others)
Many thanks RICK !!!
For FLDIGI I cannot get the frequency on the waterfall
TX (FT2000) is correct connected to Commander
Does someone has the parameters I need to set in FLDIGI ?

Guido..
In Fldigi under the Rig settings click on the Ext tab and place a checkmark in the box that says use XML-RPC connection. This will allow the frequency data from Commander to be sent over to Fldigi.

Goto my software page at the top of the website and you will find the current version of Fldigi. Download the version for your OS and I think your problems will be cured.. They released a newer version correcting some issues but never posted it to their website. I have it available here…

Hi Rick,
It works now correctly with the FLDIGI version on your
website
Super : I can now work with my FT2000 en FLDIGI thanks
to your bridge (no config file forseen by FLDIGI for FT2000)
MANY THANKS

Good afternoon,
I am a long time user of DX Labs and a new user of fldigi. I love the way the software looks and works, and was anxious to utilize my existing log. I installed the gateway version above, and am able to have rig control with commander, and the call sign I put in fldigi is looked up in DXKeeper, but after I finish the qso and hit the save button on the fldigi log, it does not go to DXKeeper. I have tried to research here, and read at length the help file, but I was unsuccessful. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Rick,
I am trying to configure FLDIGI to make it work with my FT2000. I cannot configure the PTT. I have been using micro BAND DECODER from MicroHAM. To transmit I use a footswitch. This is not very professional. Do you have any idea how configure this soft ?
Many thanks or your help

Bert..
I’m not sure if the FT2000 can have it’s PTT controlled via the CAT interface or not. if it can then you can set that on the rig control tabs of either Rigcat or Hamlib in the config section of Fldigi. If it can not be controlled via the CAT you will need to add a simple 1 transistor PTT circuit that uses a com port or USB port with a serial adapter. I do not think the banddecoder has the PTT capability that the other Microham devices do..

3. Adds Debug mode to help diagnose errors.
4. Moves settings from registry to .ini file
5. Allows logging via DDE or TCP.
The new version of Fldigi can be downloaded at http://www.w1hkj.com or on this web site in the software link a the top of this page.

DearN2AMG,
I try to connect FLdigi and DXLabs Commander. It seems that it works, but when I try to change frequency both in Fldigi or Commander, I’ll get following errormessage:
“Server returned a fault. Code is ‘-503′, description is ‘Call XML not a proper XML-RPC call. element value ‘7077600,0′ is not a valid floating point number. Garbage (not sign, digit, or period)starting at ‘,0″
Do you have any idea, what could be the reason? My Windows locale is Estonian and it’s decimal separator is not . but , by default.
Best regards, Tõnis, ES5TF
