WRMI,
Radio Miami International, will showcase digital text and images via analog
radio in a half-hour special broadcast to be transmitted nine times (at least),
beginning Saturday, 13 August.
The
broadcast will mostly be in MFSK32 centered on 1500 Hz. There will also be
segments in MFSK64, MFSK32 centered on 2200 Hz, and Olivia 64-2000. The program
will include MFSK images, examples of non-Latin alphabets, and an Flmsg
transmission. You will also hear “co-channel” music.
To
decode the modes on the WRMI broadcast, Fldigi software is recommended. Download
it fromhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/fldigi/ . The
main Fldigi website is http://www.w1hkj.com.
And
you will use the companion program Flmsg. Download it fromhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/flmsg/ .
To
make Flmsg work with Fldigi, in Fldigi: Configure > Misc > NBEMS >
under Reception of flmsg files, select Open with flmsg and Open in browser, and
below that indicate where your Flmsg.exe file is located – probably somewhere in
Program Files(x86).
For
correct decoding of the languages with diacritics, or using non-Latin alphabets,
in Fldigi: Configure > Colors & Fonts > RxTx > in the Rx/Tx
Character set menu, select UTF-8.
For
Fldigi to automatically select the mode and the center audio frequency of the
mode, select RxID (upper right of the interface) by left clicking. In newer
versions of Fldigi, also right click on RxID and select Passband.
You
can decode this WRMI special broadcast as it is broadcast, or from your
recording.
