So y'all know that Fldigi has an option for an "audible" notification when certain key words ("Arfcom", "Arfcom Urgent", etc.) are seen on the frequency you are monitoring. But apparently those only work on Linux, "for now". I know a lot of y'all monitor the Arfcom digital guard frequencies with audible alerts. How do you do that? Obviously some of you use Linux, but is there another option? I use both Mac OSX and Windows (dual boot), and primarily Fldigi (OSX and Windows) but also DRM or whatever in the last free version of HRD, which I'm not particularly fond of. So, outside of "JOIN THE DARK SIDE!", is there some way to do that? Thanks, Popov P.S. My next (radio dedicated) laptop will have Windows and Linux dual boot, but the current computer is full enough for now. |

It may very well, but I can't get mine to play an MP3 on Windows 7. Haven't tried OSX yet. Does it work for you? Quoted:

I thought Fldigi would do alerts on all platforms, but would only execute scripts on *nix. Does it work for you? Sure it does

Grr, still no luck with the audio alert. However, it did help me fix my "spotting" issue for psk reporter! Thanks! |

Here are a couple ideas:
1. Under Configure/Notifications, there is an option to run an external program when the notification runs. That could probably start a program to play a sound. 2. The linux version might run under the cygwin shell, allowing for scripts and alerts. |
