I will caution that as of this time the Hamlib version, 1,2,12, compiled with Fldigi does not have good K3 support. I rewrote the K3 backend over the winter and solved various issues including correctly supporting the K3's DATA mode. Unfortunately, Dave, W1HKJ wishes to have Hamlib compiled as part of the Fldigi application for convenience of those installing his Windows builds of Fldigi, but changes we needed to make with the GNU Build System in Hamlib has left him unable to do so since the release of Hamlib 1.2.13 back in February which has the improved K3 support. We continue to work with Dave to resolve this issue. Note that this only affects the Windows, Mac OS/X, and binary tarball for Linux releases directly from http://www.w1hkj.com For those tracking Linux distributions such as Debian Testing/Unstable, or one of the later releases of Ubuntu and derivatives, this is not an issue as Hamlib is updated separately. Other distributions such as Fedora and OpenSUSE also track Hamlib releases (the latest is Hamlib 1.2.13.1 which now queries the K3 for the firmware version and is the only K3 update since 1.2.13). I am hoping to convice Dave to link to Hamlib dynamically in the future so that interested parties can download our Win32 Hamlib releases and keep Hamlib up-to-date separately. Hamlib 1.2.14 is in development and is planned to be released around August 1, 2011.
