Flrig is a transceiver control program designed to be used either stand alone or as an adjunct to fldigi (see my review on this). The supported transceivers all have some degree of CAT. The flrig user interface changes to accommodate the degree of CAT support available for the transceiver in use.
Download Flrig here, but not via the green button, select the setup.exe file below (if for windows).
Once installed, all I did was press the Config menu and select Setup and Transceiver. From this window, I selected my radio on the receiver page, then the relevant com port, baud rate as per the radio and selected Init. and it just worked.
While in that area, you may want to return to the Config menu and then select UI and then turn tool tips on. This will help you around the program.
The picture to the right shows a few screens of Flrig working with my radio. You can see live SWR, power used and a few others. Down the bottom is how I can quickly switch bands. If you have band stacking on this works in well also. The second bottom screen is the VFO A or B (B is on in this example)
I can tune in a frequency via Flrig, or Flrig will update should I change settings on the radio.
Another benefit of this simple software is you can point other software to it. This may include logging software and digital decoding software.
A great little free program with a lot of benefits.
