FSK control and data stream i/o for both the Navigator and a tinyFSK
device has been added to this version of fldigi.
alpha version 4.0.17.32
Logbook read
* Make Rx panel announcement of read user optional
Navigator
* Add Navigator terminal unit support for FSK
- options setting panel
tinyFSK
* Add interface and support code for tinyFSK Arduino FSK keyer
* Modify waterfall frequency display for transceiver FSK
* Modify dxcluster qsy operations to provide correct QSY
for transceiver FSK
* Add TTY transceiver mode recognition if transceiver mode
string contains RTTY or FSK
Modem start frequency
* Change initialization of modem start up frequency
- prevent unintended start @ 1000 Hz for every change in mode
fsq/ifkp audit logs
* Enable audit log open/close from configuration panel
* Correct date-time stamp in logs
RTTY browser decode
* fix browser decoder sense when transceiver is in LSB
type mode, i.e. FSK, LSB, LSB-D etc.
8pskF
* Fixed bug in 8psk 125F/250F init code
- Bad constraint length was causing decoder to fail
* New preamble for 8PSK FEC modes
- FEC modes preamble is now a continuous tone at center-frequency
- Gives reference for clicking & selecting signal on waterfall.
- Is backwards compatible with previous-version 8psk preambles
* Adjusted 8PSK-F modes flush/postamble length much longer
- Can visually see the inlv flush and postamble "tail" on waterfall
- New flust/postamble extends beyond data, to prevent cutoff
* Code, formatting, and comments cleaned-up for 8PSK code

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Navigator:
Select the serial port (COM device on Windows) for both the FSK and
Configuration ports on the Navigator. Press the Config button and
modify the interface controls for the intended RTTY usage. After
configuration adjustment the Config button can be pressed again to
remove that connection to the Navigator (or leave it connected). Press
the FSK button to connect to the FSK port. Your transceiver should be in
an RTTY mode not a sideband mode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
tinyFSK interface:
Select the serial/COM port, set the baud rate and whether or not the
RTTY signal is a Plus or Minus polarity (to the transceiver port).
Press the Connect button. As with the Navigator, the transceiver should
be in an RTTY mode and not a sideband mode.
Both control and data stream i/o with the tinyFSK will appear in the
serial I/O text panel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both:
On the TTY/Tx tab, set the Mark frequency and shift
Most modern transceivers will allow the operator to select a Mark
frequency of 1275 and 2125. fldigi needs that information to correctly
decode and adjust for fldigi implemented QSY operations.
