 +Not all of the modes are available using the Auto-config facilities, however there is the RxID facility
 +where by each transmission is preceded by a short burst of data that identifies the mode that will follow.
 +It also has the feature of being tracked by the AFC so it will also allow the receiver to be adjusted to
 +the correct centre frequency.  To select this feature, turn on RxID as below:
 +{{:guides:dl-fldigi-rxid.jpg}}
 +
 +To setup the configuration for RxID, select the Configure | IDs option:
 +{{:guides:dl_fldigi-ids.jpg}}
 +
 +Turn on all the modes and select the options required, the "Search all Passband" and "Marker" are good defaults to choose:
 +{{:guides:dl-fldigi-rsid.jpg}}
 +
 +Finally Save the configuration and close the window, these should then remain as your default settings.
