Ron, you are 100% wrong.........period

I do wish people like yourself would get their facts straight before 
blindly posting to an email list.

fldigi is in no way shape or form programmed as you state.

fldigi will work on either sideband, user determined. You do *not* need 
to reverse anything........period.

FYI DM780 uses the fldigi modem for RTTY. fldigi is open source, as it 
should be.

So just do me a favor, take the time to read and understand fldigi, 
*before* you post incorrect facts and statements.
