Re: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT
Andy, try using RigCat for radio control. Download the IC706MKIIG file from http://www.w1hkj.com/xmls/icom/ICOM706MKIIG.xml, put it in the fldigi.files/Rigs folder, select the ICOM706MKIIG, and be sure the tiny diamond to use RigCat is selected. You may have better luck with RigCat than HamLib. 73, Skip KH6TY http://kh6ty.home.comcast.net - Original Message - From: Andrew O'Brien To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 9:05 AM Subject: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT I am helping someone set up FL-DIGI with an Icom 706MKII. Using Hamlib and the radio from the drop-down list Icom796MKII Untested we achieve rig control for frequency changes but NOT PTT. Using rig control and a XML file for the 706MKII we did not achieve either. So, it looks like Hamlib is doing everything except PTT, anyone have any suggestions? Andy K3UK

We did that and nothing worked at all , so we figured hamlib was closer to working... On 4/11/09, kh6ty kh...@comcast.net wrote: Andy, try using RigCat for radio control.

Re: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT
Andy, double-check the configuration items. I have the IC-7000 and the RigCat works perfectly. I'll try to find out if RigCat works with any other IC-706MKIIG's. 73, Skip KH6TY http://kh6ty.home.comcast.net - Original Message - From: Andy obrien To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 9:41 AM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT We did that and nothing worked at all , so we figured hamlib was closer to working...

There is no CAT PTT for the 706 series of radio's You will need to add an external PTT circuit to do this.. 73 Rick N2AMG http://www.n2amg.com -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Andrew O'Brien Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 9:06 AM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT I am helping someone set up FL-DIGI with an Icom 706MKII.

Re: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT
Rick's right, Andy. You can use the SignaLink +, or SignaLink USB, or build your own interface. If you want to build an interface, here is a link to one that does not use the serial port or USB port, but is powered from the IC-706 mic jack: http://home.comcast.net/~kh6ty/interface/ I have made a few commercial-quality circuit boards available as stated on the web page. 73, Skip KH6TY http://kh6ty.home.comcast.net - Original Message - From: Rick Ellison To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 10:04 AM Subject: RE: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT Recent Activity a.. 14New Members Visit Your Group Yahoo!

Re: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT
He is using the Icom 706MKII with a Microham Digikeyer , would not this provide the ability to PTT via FLDIGI and the 706 ? Perhaps FLDIGI would need to comm ports to configure, one for rig control and another for PTT. Perhaps by NOT clicking the USE RIGCAT option the Digikey would do the PTT. PTT IS achieved by pressing the test button in the Microham device router , so software control of PTT for the 706MKII can be achieved.

RE: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT
If you are using a digikeyer you should be able to make it work Set one port for radio control and the second for PTT. Whatever port in the digikeyer is setup for PTT you will need to set that on the first pane of the Fldigi radio config Hardware PTT once you do this you should be all set. 73 Rick N2AMG http://www.n2amg.com -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy obrien Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 11:41 AM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Cc: micro...@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT He is using the Icom 706MKII with a Microham Digikeyer , would not this provide the ability to PTT via FLDIGI and the 706 ?
