[digitalradio] No PTT, FLDIGI with ICom 746P and Digikeyer
I am trying to help a friend set-up FLDIGI on his new laptop using his Microham Digikeyer. Using the device router for the digikeyer (control port 5 and PTT port 6) the digikeyer PTT test button does toggle the PTT. However when using FL-Digi , frequency display corresponds with the Icom 746 but the T/R button fails to place the Icom in to transmit mode. Any ideas ? When configuring FL-DIGI, we did try to use HAMLIB and PTT via CAT control, but that did not produce a PTT wither. Andy K3UK

Andy, try Rig Cat instead of Ham Lib. That should trigger the PTT with a CAT command. There seem to be quite a few reported problems trying to use Microham Digikeyer, but I do not have one, so it is hard to help understand what is wrong. 73, Skip KH6TY - Original Message - From: Andrew O'Brien k3uka...@gmail.com To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 4:11 PM Subject: [digitalradio] No PTT, FLDIGI with ICom 746P and Digikeyer I am trying to help a friend set-up FLDIGI on his new laptop using his Microham Digikeyer.

Andy, here you say he has frequency display, but now you say he does not. According to the manual, he has to CREATE virtual ports. I guess you do this and then configure fldigi to use the port of your choice, but it must not be a port already in use. When the ports are created, I think fldigi will detect them, so restart fldigi and then choose the port. 73, Skip KH6TY - Original Message - From: Andrew O'Brien k3uka...@gmail.com To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 4:11 PM Subject: [digitalradio] No PTT, FLDIGI with ICom 746P and Digikeyer I am trying to help a friend set-up FLDIGI on his new laptop using his Microham Digikeyer.

Andy, The Microham manual says you must disable autobaud in any ICOM used with the router. Make sure it is disabled and either 9600 baud or 19200 baud is selected in the ICOM. You must get frequency control working before you can use PTT by CAT. 73, Skip KH6TY - Original Message - From: Andrew O'Brien k3uka...@gmail.com To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 4:11 PM Subject: [digitalradio] No PTT, FLDIGI with ICom 746P and Digikeyer I am trying to help a friend set-up FLDIGI on his new laptop using his Microham Digikeyer.
