<p>I set up a Linux machine with FLdigi and a shortwave rig with a
BFO on it so I could copy the side band audio. The Chinese
characters didn't go through. I messed around with the encoding
choices in the FLdigi configuration. There is one encoding choice
named "Chinese" which I gave a try on both transmit and receive
rigs. Still no joy. Thing is I was using Google translate to
create the Chinese characters and I have no idea what they use to
encode the translation. <span lang="zh-TW"><span><span>漢字編碼
as you can see I can copy and paste to my email client, but
so far I can't get the characters to fly through the sky on
radio waves....<br>

fooling around with FLdigi today. I wondered if I could send
Chinese via PSK31. I went to Google translate and created a short
message, copied the characters and pasted them into the transmit
box in FLdigi. It seemed to work, but I will have to setup
another machine with FLdigi to confirm it actually gets sent. I
guess I could try Russian and Hebrew while I'm at it. Babble on
Babylon....
