  27. FLMESG Auto Send flmsg can connect directly to fldigi using one of fldigi's socket services. Fldigi acts as the server and flmsg the client. Pressing the "AutoSend" button will initiate an immediate transfer of an encapsulated file to fldigi. You should have fldigi prepared to accept the file for transmission. The frequency (radio and audio) and modem type should be correct and if you are in a QSO then your contact should be prepared to receive the transmission. Automatic Reception When fldigi recognizes the conclusion of an flmsg 'autosend' data stream it will take one of two actions: • Start a new instance of flmsg using the data stream file contents • Pass the data stream contents directly to the currently executing flmsg The selection of the flmsg transfer option is made on the fldigi configuration tab for NBEMS. If the data stream is sent to the current flsmg then the following action occurs in flmsg: • The data stream is saved to the Messages folder using the originators filename • A popup dialog will open which gives the operator the option of immediately loading and viewing that new message file.

  28. Flmesg Summary: Provides flexible suite of functions that support may different types of message formats. Automatic sending/receiving and ‘on-the-fly’ message handing is supported. Custom message formats can be made and imported into Flmesg. Flmesg is tightly integrated with Fldigi and Flwrap. 02/14/18 28
