I just realized I left you hanging on how to start fldigi... Since it is in a location that is normally in the path statement, you can open a terminal window and enter fldigi. If you want a menu item to point to fldigi you can select 'System' then 'Preferences' then 'Main Menu' This opens a window that allows you to add menu items. It adds items to whichever item is selected on the left.

Fldigi is probably in directory /usr/bin ... to make sure, click the menu item 'Places' followed by 'Search for Files'. In the search program, in the name contains field, enter 'fldigi' (no apostrophes) . Select 'File System' in the Look in folder field. Search will show you all the places where there is anything named fldigi. The items that have a blue diamond icon are the executable programs. When you double click one of them it will start, and will show the fldigi version in the title bar. The version packaged for apt is probably old but it is still a very good program. If you decide to upgrade, it is pretty simple - you just replace the fldigi file with the new version. If you become interested, we can run through that too. (The main trick is to get su authority.)
