Spot button - The "Spot" light button is visible if callsign spotting is enabled. Use this button to toggle the callsign spotting reporter on and off. It is automatically turned off when playback is selected in the Files menu. The main window text is not searched if the viewer is active, i.e., if it is displayed and the current modem is PSK. See PskReporter and Notifier.

RSID button - Pressing the "RSID" button puts fldigi into a special Reed Solomon Identification detection mode.

Tune button - Pressing the "Tune" button causes fldigi to insert a tone at the current waterfall frequency. The peak-to-peak amplitude of this tone is the standard by which you should set your transmitter drive or adjust your antenna matching network.
