I am new to HF and bought an IC-7300 and Ham Radio Deluxe but the digital modes befuddled me. I can get the radio and software talking but when I was trying to find a signal and decode it, I got really frustrated. Your video helped make sense out of the chaos. I feel you gave me a magic key to unlock the digital modes. Thank you very much. Whoo hoo!
Just configured my 857d and Signalink on fldigi after much tinkering. Came across your video after wanting to learn the communication protocol I could use communicate. Your video was very interesting and I'm glad I came across it because I have been trying my best to identify signals all of which are new to me.
Very helpful video especially the mode detector with ability to switch over for a contact. I was not aware of this but knew someday it would happen. Thanks!
Think you. I was very active on PSK31 when it first arrived, but have been not very active since then. Just loaded fldigi onto Ubuntu linux. Totally confused by some of the signals I was hearing and had very little luck going through the modes to try and lock up. Learning about the RXID should be very helpful. Thanks to you and thanks to the folks developing this software. Great job.
My pleasure Joe. The latest version of FLDIGI includes the TX-RSID command within the existing CQ macros so there's no need to turn it on. The receiving station still needs to enable the RX-RSID though. Tony -K2MO
Excellent video. Note: when band conditions are marginal, it is often the case where a transmitted signal does not show up well on the receiver-side of the QSO. If the video ID is used, it would be difficult under such marginal conditions to figure things out, since the signal was not well defined on the waterfall. Instead, using RSID, the chances for detection are higher. Looking to meet you on the bands... I love Olivia.
Hi Tony - I recently joined the MultiPSK Yahoo group, and I want to thank you for mentioning this video. You did a great job here, and it's valuable information for anyone exploring the digital modes. 73, Jack
I have only been using HRD for these digital modes not covered by WSJT-X. I didn't know how FlDIGI or Multipsk worked. They seem like they have more features than HRD, but I will stay with HRD since it is a fully integrated package, albiet there is a cost for the software. Thanks for your efforts putting this video together. 73
Nice job! Very clear descriptions of a frequently confusing issue. The digi modes are great fun if you can figure out what the other person is using! Thanks! Ron WB0SOK
You probably mean the software to encode/decode the different digital modes. It's called FLDIGI, and can be found here: sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/fldigi/ Download the .exe for windows or the proper .dmg file for linux/mac.

I'm in the same situation

Great video. Didn't even know this functionality existed.

Thank you for the kind words - glad you found the video useful.

Great video, thanks so much for the information. I never get tired of this.
Glad to hear that Richard!
Tony
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this.
Awesome info', thanks!
thanks a lot i was not aware of this :) ..
Good video. Thank you. I have been trying to figure out what mode I was hearing.
Jared:
Glad you found the video useful. Curious about which mode you were referring to in your comment?
Tony
Good presentation.
Very well done. Thank you
My pleasure.
This is cool. Any tips on identifying types when the operators don't use this feature?
What version is the FLDIGI you are runnng?
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 73 Bret/AC0AE
My version of FLDIGI doesn't have the RSID, or Video option, just CW. The Windows version.
What mode sounds like a mowped [motorcycle] changing gears, sometimes preceded by a couple of tones?
How long until Happy Faces 🙂 and middle fingers [redacted] become common on the voice sub-bands ?
This would be a great video if the audio wasn't so muffled and low.
Nevermind. I feel kinda dumb right now. Thanks!
So thats what the RXID button is for lol
We did you go to download the "reader" software??
Reader software?
