\"31-meter-Spectrum\"<\/a> (Source: VOA Radiogram<\/a> via Richard Langley)<\/p>\n

WRMI, Radio Miami International<\/b>, 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.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cco-channel\u201d music.<\/p>\n

To decode the modes on the WRMI broadcast, Fldigi software is recommended. Download it fromhttps:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/fldigi\/files\/fldigi\/ <\/a>. The main Fldigi website is http:\/\/www.w1hkj.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And you will use the companion program Flmsg. Download it fromhttps:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/fldigi\/files\/flmsg\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 probably somewhere in Program Files(x86).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

You can decode this WRMI special broadcast as it is broadcast, or from your recording.<\/p>\n
