Re: [digitalradio] Success with FLdigi
Aha, I was not thinking about frequency display...just PTT since I lof my entries in DX Keeper. With the device router in Microkeyer you can have full CAT control as usual and set FLDIGI to PTT2 if you wanted.

Maybe I have another fldigi file somewhere on the PC or a cygwin dll that maybe causing problems. Maybe I am expecting the cat function to display the frequency on the waterfall but thats what I think the cat function will provide. The XML file thats in the archive appears to be from a FT1000 and not for a MP. Will keep on trying, thanks for the help. 73 de Ron W4LDE Andrew O'Brien wrote: Ron, I have it working without hamlib, See attached Andy (K3UK) has successfully got his CAT function working through the HAMlib but I wish I don't have to move in that direction.

Re: [digitalradio] Success with FLdigi
Andy and fellow digital enthusiasts, I really like fldigi a lot. I had it running under GNU/Linux a while back and while it was extremely difficult to set up compared to MS Windows XP, the author, Dave Freese went out of his way to help me do it over a period of many days of effort. Now thankfully, I can run it on Windows XP (and even Vista) since most of the ham programs I use can only run on Windows OS. The newest version has many of the features/shortcuts/ergonomics/user interface the way I like and does it with a fairly lightweight design. One of the issues I have to resolve is the same one you mentioned... how do I handle long term logging? Both Multipsk and HRD/DM780 provide a direct method of logging to my master log which is DXLab's DXKeeper. No other logging program can take the place of DXKeeper since it needs to do so many things and keep it in one database that can work with the electronic QSL systems. Swapping files back and forth and keeping it all straight does not seem to be a practical method. How do you plan to handle your contacts on fldigi? The alternative is only use fldigi for public service purposes, but other than not having FAE400, Packet, Pactor FEC Mode B, and maybe a few other modes that I only sometimes use (e.g., ARRL bulletins), most everything is available in fldigi. Then you just turn on the flarq program and instantly you move to another level of performance with the ability to ARQ a given mode. 73, Rick, KV9U Andrew O'Brien wrote: Aha, I was not thinking about frequency display...just PTT since I lof my entries in DX Keeper.

[digitalradio] Success with FLdigi
I have been trying to make FLDigi work on my K3, finally it does... I searched for all the cygwin1.dll files and deleted them, then searched the hard drive for any fldigi remnants, found a few and deleted them. Deleted the fldigi I had extracted, and extracted a new fldigi3.01. Put in RTS and Com 4 and it works perfectly. Obviously bits from a previous fldigi had been hanging about preventing the program working correctly. Congratulations and thanks to Dave W1HKJ for all his hard work, now for the fun of using the program. Regards to all Ross ZL1WN
Re: [digitalradio] Success with FLdigi
Congratulations Ross and thanks for the response to my questions earlier, do you or anyone know if 3.01 will work with a Ft1000mp through the microkeyer? I have 3.01 working correctly with the PPT function in microkeyer but the program with the built in CAT function does not discover the com port for the CAT function. Once I get it to discover the CAT port then I can begin to use the rig.xml file. I did select the correct port in the rig.xml file to match the setup for the microkeyer but can not seem to get the internal rig cat function to discover the FT1000mp through the microkeyer. Did it discover the K3 through the microkeyer using the internal RigCat method? Andy (K3UK) has successfully got his CAT function working through the HAMlib but I wish I don't have to move in that direction.
