# Integrating with fldigi

The fldigi software by Dave Freese, W1HKJ has become popular on the Mac for PSK, RTTY and other digital modes. It is possible to setup a macro in fldigi which will log the current contact in Aether with one click. This page gives instructions on setting this integration up.

To set up Aether integration with fldigi:

1. Download the fldigi logging script. The latest version of the script can be found on this page: https://github.com/muonzoo/ham-utils. The download is accessed by clicking the "Downloads" button at the top right of the page, then clicking "Download .zip" in the panel that appears, as shown below:
2. Save the file fldigi-aether-logger.py to an appropriate location. /Users/yourusername/.fldigi/scripts is a good choice, alternately you can use /Library/Application Support/Aether/Scripts/.
3. Open fldigi.
4. Right (or control-) click on an empty macro button where you'd like to put the "Log in Aether" button. The macro buttons are in a row just above fldigi's waterfall display.
5. The "Macro editor" window will appear. In the "Text:" box, type the following:
   $HOME/.fldigi/scripts/fldigi-aether-logger.py &
   where $HOME/.fldigi/scripts/fldigi-aether-logger.py is the location of the script saved in step 2.
6. In the "Macro Button Label:" box, type a name for your Macro button. "Log in Aether" is a good choice.
7. Click OK to close the "Macro editor" window. You should now be able to log the current fldigi contact in Aether by clicking the macro button you just created.

If you have any questions about this script, or suggestions for improvement, please contact Aether Support or the author of the script, Alan Hawrylyshen, K2ACK.
