I beg your pardon, but it has been my fault. By accident I had started 2 instances of fldigi at the same time. Starting only one leads to success! 😉

Hi Rick,

I’ve installed fldigi 4.2.05 and Fldigi-DXLabs Gateway 1.7.0 with “Rig Control := Commander” on Windows 10 22H1 (Build 19045.4651). Started automatically by the Gateway, fldigi initially shows a freq of “0.000”.

If I change frequency on the rig then nothing will happen to fldigi, but “FlDxlDebugLog.txt” periodically dumps these lines:

Is there any solution to this problem?

HELP !!!!
I trying to set up the fldigi-Dxlab gateway but every time I set the fldigi location and the –config-dir at the first setup screen and click save, it immediately launch’s the fldigi and log server and vanishes before I can get to the setup tab. How to I go through the setup other wise?? the fldigi and dxcommander appear to partially work but fldigi is not retaining the correct modes required by my FT-991A. When I use fldigi to qsy to freq/data-usb, it set the radio to freq/usb. I also am unable to setup the dxlab units since the gateway need to be set up first

In reply to Dave Corio. Thats a good thing.. I still cannot install it on windows 10 systems.. But I am alot closer to finishing the re-write of the gateway. I still have alot of add yet but I have had some time to work on it.. 73 Rick N2AMG

Don’t know what made me try to install this again, but apparently the fifth time is the charm! Working perfectly now on Win 10 1909. Every once in a while, things go right!

Hi Dave..
On some windows 10 systems it will work fine and on others it will not. The controls that were used when I wrote it are not compatible with some of the windows 10 os’s that are out there.
The good news is I am further along with my re-write of the software. I have a list a mile long of Honey-do’s but I told my wife this week I am taking the list off and trying to get caught up on source code. I have the basic interface working and communicating with the dxlabs apps and fldigi. Now I need to go thru and work out the quirks that have developed and write the ddeserver I need for working with Spotcollector. Might be a week but it might be a month. it’s all when I get time from the money paying work…

Rick, trying to load on a new (to me) Win 10 Home -64bit PC. Worked fine on my old WIN 10, but now I keep getting the “tabctl.ocx….not registered”. Fixes found on the ‘net did not work (very old fixes!) Any ideas? From your older comments here, sounds like I’m just out of luck.

Tnx es 73

Hi Rick.

I was wondering if there was any chance that you could write an FLRig to DXLab interface/bridge? The FLDigi interface works fine but I tend to use WSJT-X. FLRig, like HRD is interactive with the radio. That is, it receives as well as sends the CAT commands for all of the controls it shows. While I have HRD it takes up much more valuable real estate on my monitor.

BTW, I also use DXLab Commander but the sliders and buttons that I have programmed can only work one way and do not receive commands from the radio. Dave has explained on the DXLab group that it would be to large an undertaking since there are so many other items he can work on.

Thank you for your consideration.
73.

In reply to George Milligan AK4NG. Hi George. Sorry for not responding. I never received an email from the website saying someone left a message. Nothing has changed in the software. I would suggest that you download the most current version of Fldigi and see if that corrects things. If not let me know and we can dig deeper.. 73 Rick N2AMG
