I have been using the ICOM 756 Pro II and Pro III transceivers with flidig for some time now with Hamlib. I think it still shows alpha status in some cases. I know someone suggested contacting the hamlib group to advise them that it seems to work well.
When I went to their web page I was unable to find any contact point other than to the group. Of course when I did that it blocked me, but hopefully someone sees it and I recommended that if they want feedback, they need to have some way for us to provide this feedback. Maybe I missed it, but if I did, perhaps it needs to be more prominently displayed. I still don't understand why anyone would want the increased complication of using RigCat if the Hamlib works well for you. There are no files to put anywhere. It just works for me. I think I tried it on one of my wife's ICOM IC-7000 rigs, and I could also test it on my ICOM 746 Pro as well. \ As Andy has mentioned, you MUST check the PTT diamond to insure that works. I recently was testing an alpha version and for some reason it did not keep the same parameters from an earlier version. I forgot to check if the PTT diamond was activated until I tried the next version and realized that I was missing something, HI. 73, Rick, KV9U kh6ty wrote: > Russell, > > If you look at the fldigi HamLib selections, the TS-450S is listed as > a "beta" version (which means it probably does not work! hi!) > > Instead try using RigCat with fldigi and download the TS-450 xml file > from this link: http://www.w1hkj.com/xmlarchives.html > > Put the file in the Rigs folder in fldigi.files, configure for RigCat > (the diamonds are sorta faint, so be sure they have color if need to > be checked) and see if that works. > > 73, Skip KH6TY > http://kh6ty.home.comcast.net >
