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 Ri

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. P

Thanks for that heads up, Rick, I knew that the ICOM 718 rigs could not do PTT via the CI-V, but sure did not realize that was also true for the 706 series. The 746 and 756 series ICOM rigs work well with CI-V CAT control using one port to handle total rig control. One thing that I really like

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 mad

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

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.
