<div>I have not been able to confirm if I will see the data over IP from FLDIGI as I have no easy way to generate traffic. It does look like I'm able to transmit... <br></div><div><br></div><div>Using FLGDIGI on windows and Xastir/ socat on Linux. Since I'm using my Flex 3k for the radio, I can't move it all to Linux just yet.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-- Joe <br></div><div>KA3NAM</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>May 7, 2020, 12:58 PM by aprssig@lists.tapr.org:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div><br></div><div>I have now successfully mated the FLdigi multi-digital-modes application with several APRS applications.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Recent versions of FLdigi actually have a built-in KISS-over-IP interface that allows external programs to use FLdigi as a sound-card modem, in a way similar to the "UZ7HO Soundmodem" or "DireWolf" do on conventional packet. This allows APRS apps to operate over MFSK16, PSK63 or any other mode supported by FLdigi.<br></div><div><br></div><div>All one needs, in addition to FLdigi and an APRS application that supports KISS mode is a freeware tool "Com0Com". Com0Com creates a pair of virtual com ports connected back-to-back (i.e. a virtual null modem cable).<br></div><div><br></div><div>A second tool included with Com0Com, "Com2TCP", connects to one end of the virtual null modem and converts the serial output to TCP/IP. You can pick your choice of IP address (including "localhost" meaning your own computer) and IP port #.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The combination of these two utilities in tandem, allow a KISS-over-serial output from any APRS app to link to the KISS-over-IP interface in FLdigi.<br></div><div> The result is "normal" APRS that can link directly to the APRS-IS like standard packet APRS, via standard APRS client apps acting as "normal" igates. I.e. not via oddball expedients like the JS8call spotting network.<br></div><div> APRS apps that natively support KISS-over-IP (rather than KISS-over-RS232) like YAAC and APRS-IS32 can use FLdigi's IP KISS port directly.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Last night, I successfully used a spare FT-891 and netbook to transmit to my existing 60M igate. Given how fantastically effective APRS-over-PSK63 or MFSK16 was with the late lamented "APRS Messenger" app, I think this is worth trying. Anyone interested in trying this on 60 meters?<br></div><div><br></div><div>_________________________________________________<br></div><div>Stephen H.
