 ## Beginners' Guide to Fldigi

-Of necessity, this Beginners' Guide contains only as much as you need to know to get started. You should learn how to make best use of the program by reading the [Online Documentation.](http://www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp/index.html) You can also access it from within the Fldigi program from the Help menu item.

 #### How do I recognise and tune in the signals?

-Recognising the different modes comes with experience. It is a matter of listening to the signal, and observing the appearance of the signal on the tuning display. You can also practise transmitting with the transceiver disconnected, listening to the sound of the signals coming from the computer. There is also (see later paragraph) an automatic tuning option which can recognise and tune in most modes for you. This link will point to a very useful ["Sights and Sounds"](www.w1hkj.com/modes/index.htm) page that is useful to recognize these modes.

 The software provides a tuning display which shows the radio signals that are receivable within the transceiver passband. Using a point and click technique with the mouse, you can click on the center of a signal to select it, and the software will tune it in for you. Some modes require more care than others, and of course you need to have the software set for the correct mode first — not always so easy!

 #####Rig Control
 Use the menu Configure->Rig Control item to set how you will control the rig.  There are 3 basic choices, Flrig, RigCat and Hamlib. 
-          *  Flrig is a separate program to control the rig and communicate with fldigi. It has more control features than the other choices, but does not support all rigs.  To use it just [download](http://www.w1hkj.com/files/flrig) and install it. Then run the program and set it up as below.

         *  RigCat works just within fldigi itself and uses an XML file that matches your rig. Choose the appropriate file from: <https: sourceforge.net="" projects="" fldigi="" files="" xmls=""> and place it in the rig folder within your fldigi configuration directory.  
         *  Hamlib also works just within fldigi and supports many rigs and can be used if it meets your needs.

 **Send Any ASCII Character**

 Press *Ctrl* and (at the same time) any three-digit number (on the numeric keypad or the normal numeric keys) to insert the ASCII character designated by that entry value into the transmit buffer. For example, *Ctrl 177* is *“±”* (plus/minus) and *Ctrl 176* is *“°”* (degree). If you press a key other than the numeric keypad's 0-9 the sequence will be discarded.
