 ====== Introduction ======
-fldigi is a software package for running a subset of amateur radio digital modes. [[BPQ]] can interface with fldigi to either allow users to connect or [[forward messages]] using other modes than [[AX.25]].

+To make integration easier, you can use a rig control package like [[flrig]] to allow both BPQ and fldigi to control the radio on specific port(s).

+====== Bare Bones Example in Windows ======
+This example uses an IC-7300 plugged into a Windows computer, using QtSoundModem to interface the radio to BPQ.
+===== Software =====
+  * [[BPQ]]
+  * [[flrig]]
+  * [[QtSoundModem]]
+  * [[fldigi]]
+===== Steps =====
+  * Set up flrig to interface/CAT control your radio.
+      * The Server `Xmlrpc` port is used in the QtSoundModem PTT config in the next step.
+  * Set up a regular HF BPQ port if you want. In this example, you can use QtSoundModem and use the `FLRIG` PTT port, which is not available in the [[UZ7HO Soundmodem]] this software is based on.
+  * Set up and start fldigi to act as a server.
+      * The KISS `Addr` is the machine running BPQ.
+      * The `I/O` port is used in the BPQ port config, below.
+{{::flrig-server.png?direct&600|}}
+  * Set up an //additional// port that uses the BPQ fldigi driver, but on the same radio.
+    * The `ADDR` is of the machine running fldigi and the fldigi port.
+    * You can set the default mode as in the [[https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Documents/FLDigiDriver.html|BPQ fldigi Driver docs]].
