I posted the following screen shot in the other thread and was asked about it here.
As pointed out the RX gain was high but that is easily solved. I just hadn't adjusted it since using the new sound card. I am sure the same could be accomplished with Window but using Linux it is trivial. Start fldigi then start fldigi again. Resize the windows to what suits your needs and away you go. In the picture I am set on 14.067.5 with WSTJX set at +1000, Olivia @ +1500, and psk31 @ 1273 (which is random) I can transfer between screens and transmit on any mode. Pulse audio server sets your settings per application, so that means WSJTX at 10w, Olivia at 30w, and PSK at 50w (if that is what floats your boat) Same is true as far as RX goes. Each program can have its RX gain adjusted in pavucontrol. If I have done a poor job at explaining let me know and I will try to clear it up.

Thanks. I am using an IC7200 with a direct USB connection to my PC running openSUSE 13.1. No Signalink type device. I have Fldigi controlling the rig using Hamlib, pointed to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_IC-7200_0203154-if00-port0. (The Linux kernel includes the driver for the Silicon Labs CP2102 chip in the radio.) When I opened a second instance of Fldigi it wouldn't read from the rig. Do I need to somehow stick Pulse Audio between the radio and Fldigi?

You might want to find a virtual comm port program. I am not sure if there is something like this for Linux.
For Windows 7 64bit, I use a program called Virtual Serial Port Emmulator from: http://www.eterlogic.com/ I can run run FLDIGI, N3FJP's AC Logger, ARCP-480 (Kenwood rig control), CW Skimmer, etc. It makes my TS-480HX backup rig work well with everything I want to use that needs rig control. |

VSPManager is your best bet for virtual serial ports if you are a Windows user. Free to hams. Totally stable and slick. Makes changes in real time without rebooting.
I use it in combination with DDutil to allow simultaneous rig control of my Flex from DXlabs, WSJT-X and Fldigi. |

A little OT, what about multiple radio setups with the same software?
Example: I normally run a IC-7200 for digital with Fldigi but kind of want to be able to swap out the radio and then run my FT-857D. Trying to get time in on both rigs using the same PC. My IC-7200 is my home rig and EMCOMM setup had the FT-857D. |

I've used VSP Manager with my Flex, but it didn't work so well with my TS-480.....but the main point is that a virtual serial port program is needed to get rig control working on multiple programs. |
