Jürgen,

Please refer to this on line fldigi help section.  It is specific to your start up problem and provides a solution (there are others).

Hello Cliff,

the problem is not the anti-virus program, but it looks as if FLDIGI doesn't accept non-English letters: after changing the language and having a user named Juergen instead of Jürgen the program started and I could start to configure it. The way I became aware of this as possible problem was the strange character in the user name shown by the fatal error notice.

It would be nice if such a behaviour could be modified in one of the next updates. There are many possible users which have a similar issue with their user name on Windows as I have.

Juergen,

I don’t run Windows so am guessing here, but if you have an anti-virus program running, close it while you do the install. Maybe Windows required some permission to have the install write to that directory?

If you want a complete uninstall then you need to remove or rename the fldigi.files directory if it exists. C:\Users\loginname\fldigi.files

I wanted to install FLDIGI latest version on my Windows 10 notebook today (latest Windows update) to give it a try on a Windows device (I am using it already on a Raspi 4). None of the last versions of FLDIGI from Dave's website could be set up for running (install after a complete deinstall of FLDIGI each time).

The program was installed but stopped with Fatal Error "user .... fldigi.files .." could not be installed. A manual creation of the folder fldigi.files did not bring any success either. 
Any idea what Windows has caused here? A friend of mine has the same problem that he is unable to use FLDIGI on his W10 notebook any longer.

I need Fldigi and Flrig settings and a XML file for a Yeasu FT-2980r. What is the correct PTT setting? What is a 2980 default baud rate, other necessary setting for the FT-2980r to use 2 meter FM digital. Setting up to test a few digital modes in our area that voice radio will not cover.

Thanks KE0DHO

Cliff, I hate like heck to ask, but would you (or anyone else) have some time one of these days to get on Zoom and help me get this 7300 set up correctly.

I really appreciate any help here, please.

Brand new to the group. IC7300 in RTTY mode. Trying to figure out what setting I don't have right.

When sending, all I hear in the monitor is a single tone. Station on other end reports same. 

Do not see their text on fldigi, even though I see them on the 7300. See their call and frequency on the left-side screen.

How messed up am I?

Appreciate your help, thanks.

John I am having troubles with the mapit. I put the mapit macro in my logging macro and it shows up as <RX><CLRTX>. Which should not show up and it does not got to RX or CLRTX. Where should I put the Mapit macro ??

The lookup will be OK 99.99% of the time using <MAPIT>

David I was looking at the mapit macro. Are those lines that divide adr,lat & loc straight lines up or "/"??

Thanks for the reply.

Create a "map it" macro.  See http://www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp/macros_sub_page.html#macro_tags

Executing the macro will open the browser to the current stations grid locator, or lat/lon.

Dave,

You can hit the lookup icon on Fldigi which should bring up the stations QRZ page if you have that setup.  Click on the detail tab and then the show map box.  That is the only way I know how to get the Google map of the station.  You can click on the box symbol in the upper right corner for full screen.
