 Dl Fldigi is an adapted version of the excellent free [[http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html|FLdigi]] soundcard decoding software. It takes the audio from your radio, decodes the balloon's signal, and then sends the [[communication:protocol|telemetry]] it's found over the internet to a server running habitat, which plots the payloads position on to the SpaceNear map. Dl Fldigi is an adapted version of the excellent free [[http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html|FLdigi]] soundcard decoding software.

   * If you start dl-fldigi in "Slim HAB UI" mode, then it will, by default, be "online". If not, then you need to bring it online via the option in its configuration tab, or the DL Client menu.

-  * Known issues 
-    * Has some issues (HTTP 417 errors) when behind the http proxy squid 3.1.10. Upgrading squid may be the easiest solution depending on which distribution you're using, but if that's not possible, try switching off the proxy for traffic to habitat.habhub.org. This appears to be caused by older squid versions' lack of support for HTTP/1.1 Expect: 100-continue headers. 
-    * Autoconfigure doesn't set RTTY bits-in-a-byte correctly. This will be fixed with the next release, which is due Soon™.

   * You can either set up the strings that trigger the uploader manually on the Dl Client configure tab, or you can use the Autoconfigure button. When "online" is enabled, it downloads information about payloads. If you are using the HAB UI, the payload select button will be obvious on the left of the HAB bar. Otherwise, open the DL Client->Payload configure tab. Select the payload, and then click the autoconfigure button. Fldigi will be set up with the correct RTTY options and telemetry string patterns.   * You can either set up the strings that trigger the uploader manually on the Dl Client configure tab, or you can use the Autoconfigure button.

 +===== Troubleshooting =====
 +
 +==== Crashes during operation or fails to start on Windows ====
 +
 +dl-fldigi stores the settings and log files in a folder called 'dlfldigi.files' in your User Directory ( eg. C:\Users\Phil ) This can get corrupted causing crashes and instability. We are going to delete this so that dl-fldigi creates a new, uncorrupted version.
 +
 +  * **Note:** This will delete all saved SSDV Pics and Telemetry Logs, please backup these before continuing. You may also want to take a note of the Latitude/Longitude of your location to set them up again at the end.
 +
 +  * Make sure dl-fldigi is not running.
 +  * Delete the folder 'dlfldigi.files' in your User Directory ( eg. C:\Users\Phil )
 +  * Start dl-fldigi, the settings have been deleted so you will have to enter at least your Callsign and Latitude/Longitude/Altitude of your location again. Happy hab-tracking!
