Subj: FLDIGI gets a TCP KISS port
Path: IZ3LSV<I0OJJ<N6RME<N0KFQ<AE5ME
Sent: 160419/0126Z 35994@AE5ME.#NEOK.OK.USA.NOAM BPQ1.4.64
From the FLDIGI yahoo group, see the alpha release information below. Big news is that (probably courtesy of KK5VD), FLDIGI now has a fully functional KISS TCPIP port. If you remember from earlier posts on this blog, FLDIGI provided dual UDP ports in the past. Worked extremely well with BPQ32, but was hard to interface with other software packages. My solution was always to route things through BPQ32, but I can see the advantage of being able to eliminate the BPQ32 middleman and go directly to FLDIGI.
I can confirm from testing yesterday evening that the 7342 TCP port works great in SIMPLY KISS mode with APRSIS32.
I encourage others to download this alpha and try it out on your favorite APRS or KISS TERMINAL client. I will probably even try it out on RMS Express in the next few days!

Suppress dockable macros
* suppress use of dockable macros
- creates a minimal vertical pixel height of 411
- allows use of fldigi on vertically challenged screens
- user can manually modify the fldigi_def.xml file to
disable the dockable macro set
<!-- type: bool; default: true
Allow dockable macros -->
<DOCKABLE_MACROS>1</DOCKABLE_MACROS>
set value to false, 0.
- or disable on the configuration tab for macros
- the "View/Hide 48 macros" menu item will be hidden when
DOCKABLE_MACROS set to 0, false

Portaudio Mono
* Observed on OS X, fldigi cannot work on audio cards with mono
output
- it requests 2 channels from PortAudio no matter what and
portaudio
will complain if the audio output is only mono.
- modified SoundPort::init_stream to make sure that if
max_channels < 2
sd[1].params.channelCount is updated to max_channels

- Add Listen/Bind Option.
* Operator selectable 4/8/16PSK preamble duration
- Add code to allow user to change the preamble duration to improve

FLARQ
* auto i/o - Added socket interface to allow separate program to
access
- CONNECT
- DISCONNECT
- CONNECTION_STATE
- SEND_TEXT
- RECEIVE_TEXT
Allows similarly modified flmsg to send/recv messages using
flarq / ARQ transport protocol.
* ARQ reset - force complete reset of all ARQ processes
- drops link without any indicator to connected station
- equivalent of stopping and restarting flarq
- courtesy demands that you inform the CONNECTED station
to also kill the connection at that end of the link.
- use Control-Left_click on the "CONNECT / DISCONNECT"
button to initiate the forced reset.
* Update ARQ icons
