Hi Nate,
I have tried this on my FT-2000 and it seems to be working fine. I had
changed the radio menu defaults (mainly CAT TOT) and now have them back
to the defaults. I have struggled in the past with Hamlib for fldigi.
Although I have had it work at times, I had been using RigCAT as it
seemed to work better. I'll be using Hamlib for the time being.
Many thanks,
Bob W6CP

Thanks to Daniel Wolff, we have solved an issue that has vexed users of
the FT-450, FT-950, FT-2000, FT-5000, and FT-9000. For these radios it
is essential that in Fldigi's Hamlib configuration tab that the value in
the "Write delay" box be set to 0 and that the RTS/CTS flow control box
be checked. These values are needed so that the afore mentioned radios
will work with Fldigi in their default menu configuration (menu items
CAT TOT defaults to 10 mSEc, and CAT RTS defaults to Enable).
I have committed changes to each of these backends to the Hamlib SVN
that now set the write_delay to 0 to work within the limit of the
default value of CAT TOT and serial_handshake to Hardware to work with
the default value of CAT RTS. These changes are effective as of Hamlib
SVN revision 3012 and can now be found in the Hamlib daily snapshot at:
http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net
Setting the values in Fldigi as noted above will override the backend
defaults so that an updated Hamlib is not necessary to improve
performance of these radios with Fldigi. So this should work with the
most recent stable versions of Fldigi and Hamlib.
I encourage owners of these radios to try these values with the Hamlib
backend and provide feedback.
