I've just finished setting up for ARRL 160 and am using cwdaemon with
the same port as Hamlib. In logcfg.dat I added the following line:
RIGCONF=rts_state=OFF,dtr_state=OFF
Then I set the K3's PTT-KEY menu to OFF-DTR and the keying was working
fine with one port as I tested it. The proof will b
Now I remember that actually our FD is setup is just like this:
using a single USB-serial converter with RX/TX controlling the rig via hamlib
and DTR doing keying via cwdaemon. We had no issues with it.
The only thing is that at Tlf start-up the key is down for a second.

D'oh! Read the man page, Nate!
RIGCONF=rig_configuration_parameters
Send rig configuration parameters to Hamlib.

I plan to try this.

That's cool, Olaf.
It stands to reason that the DTR and RTS lines would explicitly need to
be turned off as I think the kernel automatically enables them when an
application initializes the port.
This was a more or less silly idea I had and I'm glad to see it will
work! I'll have to try it too.
I now have my K3 working with keying without any additional boxes like
netkeyer, winkeyer or similar.
Solution is fairly simple;
1. Install cwdaemon. Standard install uses parallell port for keying so
to use eg a serial port you have to modify cwdaemon config file (resided
in /etc/default). H
Hamlib is great and really achieved a lot. Very neat what clients can
do with that library for sure.
But, all in one solutions sometimes get, um, interesting. cwdaemon
defined a protocol. So, anyone can write a replacement, that tlf and
others, can use. And they have. cwdaemon itself doesn't
Thanks for that, Olaf.
Here is a crazy idea I had that someone might like to experiment with.
I thought of using a serial port multiplexer, assuming such a thing
exists and I found https://github.com/danielinux/ttybus as one of the
first hits, to have Hamlib and cwdaemon share the same port. For
Keying my K3 via hamlib works nicely.
But there are some problems, one is that Hamlib used a simplified
control setup based on Kenwood protocol and not fully includes all
possibilities in the Elecraft protocol.
By checking the actual commands between pc and rig it is apparent that
keying is

Yes. It is done through the set/get_level functions in rigctl with the
KEYSPD token:
$ rigctl -m 229 -r /dev/rig
Rig command: l
Level: KEYSPD
Level Value: 22
Portable is good. So I'd ask if hamlib found it possible to support
speed changes.
KX3 is only 3 wire serial CAT interface, so no RTS/DTR style keying
possible. In that case, I suppose a Y cable could be fabricated that
fans out RTS/DTR to a separate key plug. That's a bit tidier perhaps.

Hi Christian,
Yes, keying does work with the script. But as far I can see
there are two issues with hamlib keying:
- in-band speed changes are not supported. one can't send "+++TEST---"
- sending a large message could block rig interface until it gets queued.
Given the rig protocol (KY command)

When you ask for keying by hamlib, you are asking for keying via CAT,
correct? (I would have to look to see if hamlib supports anything
besides the CAT port on rigs, like the key line.)
I wrote a python application that acts like cwdaemon listening on a
network socket, and drives a USB to key ada
