While running digital nets using FLDIGI, transfering callsign information from FLDIGI to FLNET is possible. These files may be stored anywhere on your computer system.Įach time it starts or opens a new database, flnet will create 2 aged backup files of the active database file.Īdd call-ins using FLNET/FLDIGI XMLRPC's data link. You should avoid modifying the contents of the file using a spreadsheet program. The database files for flnet are simple comma separated value that can also be opened using a spreadsheet. You will be prompted to confirm the program shutdown. You close the program by selecting the menu File / Exit, using the alt-F4 key combination, or the cmd-Q key combination on a Mac. These will change as you move between log-in entries. The fields displayed in the lower part of the window are the values associated with the Call In List current value. You can abort this operation at any time by pressing the ESC key. Enter the number for the area and then press ENTER to transfer that new call to the Call In List. Enter the prefix and then TAB again to move to the Area box. Press the TAB key to move to the Prefix box. This is because no callsign with that suffix is contained in the database. The operator can abort the selection process at any time by simply pressing the ESC key. It will be immediately available for use in fldigi's macros. The call sign and the nickname will be transfered to fldigi's logging controls. Select the callsign of the next up net member (between the arrow indicators). To assist the NET control operator the call sign and nickname can be transfered to FLDIGI. The callin list ordering can be toggled between time and priority order using the combination of alt and P keys. The position of the callin list will change to insure that the current call is at the "up" position as the priority control is toggled. You do not use the mouse for the net control function. You can click your mouse on these controls all day long and nothing will happen. That would destroy the quick response mechanism associated with the net functionality. Standard GUI controls would have the habit of wanting to control what happens when given keyboard or mouse focus. THEY ARE NOT! All of the things shown on the screen are simple labels that are being manipulated from the keyboard and under program control. While the various display elements may look like entry fields, scrolling browsers, etc. As each letter in entered the calls which match that sequence will be shown in the pick list just below the Suffix box. Key in the letters associated with the suffix of the call being entered. Up to three special flags may be assigned ( see configuration information).Įntering a callsign into the "Call In List" is quite simple. For example: this call might be from a mobile operator, or from a QRP station, or a DX station that requires special or early recognition by the net operator.
The right most column is a FLAG that specifies some special characteristic about that callsign. The Function keys and colors are assigned in the configuration dialog. The color coding can be used by the net control operator in any way that he or she chooses. The function keys F1, F2, F3 and F4 when pressed will change the color of that entry to BLACK, BLUE, GREEN or RED respectively. That will be the person who is presently acknowledged by the control operator. The callsign contained within the confines of the two dark arrows is the active call. The data in this window can be scrolled using the UP and DWN arrow keys. The Call In List to the left contains all of the net members callsigns, nicknames and time of login, who have been entered for this session. The main window is divided into three sections.
All database files have the extension "csv" which may optionally be added to the filename. Either select an existing file or enter a new filename with the csv extension.
