New training opportunity! Send and receive images using fldigi. Tips: – Open your fldigi program and click mouse at 1200 on the waterfall – Set your RxID and TxID buttons to ‘On’ (should be green) – Click ‘Play’ below (be sure you can capture the audio with either an audio patch cable, external microphone, or whatever setup you normally use to received digital messages)
To learn more about how you can send images, go to: http://www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp-3.21/html/mfsk_page.html
Each image you receive is stored in fldigi. Below is the file path for locating received images (Windows 7):
2nd Test Message:
Below is a second test message, beginning with MT-631kL, then switching to MFSK-16 (image file). Only a partial image file will be transmitted to see if your fldigi auto-switches to the MFSK-16 mode. It will be interrupted with a transmission in MT-631kL to see if it will switch back. If it does not, then check your audio settings (too loud will distort the data, too low may not be read 100%). In either case, data could be lost and the fldigi program may not auto-switch modes. Secondly, check your squelch settings in the lower right-hand corner of your fldigi window. Make sure the ‘SQL’ button is turned on (green/yellow). Also, don’t forget to turn your RxID and TxID buttons on (green)
Slick! Worked great.
Very cool! Thank you.
It doesn’t play anything for me?

I had to record it from a MAC computer onto my IPHONE. I changed my set up on FLDIGI to the computer microphone. I then played the recording, it shows on the waterfall but noting happens when the recoreding is done. I do PSK and RTTY all the time but don’t use FLDIGI much. I’ve went to all the config windows in FLDIGI, I have the Green RxID and Green TxID and my SQL is yellow and set at -3.0 at the bottom right of FL Digi screen. I have uploaded the custom forms in thre correct place. I have the SOI and set the OpMode to Contesia 4/250 and also at the normal MT63 2KL setting. None of those seem to work. Any ideas or should I send an email to someone?
Audio file recorded while using fldigi in MT-63 1kL mode (not 2kL). While it may be showing on the waterfall, is any text or any characters at all showing up in the receive field in your fldigi? Did you install flmsg and flwrap? Finally, have you watched the fldigi tutorial video we have embedded in a posting from a couple weeks ago?
You can email me at johnjacob@radiofreeredoubt.com for follow up as well. Thanks!
Wow! That is amazing! The FLDIGI tutorial is good and I can’t wait to keep up the practice. Thank you so much, please keep doing this I need all the help I can get doing this.
To paraphrase Sooch:

I can’t seem to get the mode to change to MFSK-16 for the image. Text comes across without issue. I’ve made sure that SQL, RxID & TxID are all turned on. I’ve played with the volume and SQL, but it still will not change the mode. Would I be missing a setting in my fldigi, or am i just not finding that “sweet spot”?
I transmitted recordings on simplex via my pc speaker to a baofeng HT. Received transmission on my mobile with tigertronics signalink usb. Worked great, but not at first. I did not understand the instruction “click on mouse 1200”.
I had clicked on 2400 to get 146.400 MHz, since that was the simplex frequency I was using, and my waterfall scale started near 1500. I had “enter frequency (large frequency field/font) set to 144.000.
After changing waterfall scale from x4 to x1, I saw the 1200 on the waterfall scale. Successfully reran the experiment clicking on 1200.
Wonderful tutorial.
