It does not work. Hamlib usually only works with 1 application at a time. You can go to the hamlib home page and look under FAQs to see how to use more than 1 instance of hamlib. Hamlib does not as far as I know support PTT for the Omni6. > I have Hamlib in gMFSK set to use real frequencies in waterfall and > to use Hamlib PTT. Neither of these work.

Means some other app is using the sound card. Firefox maybe or System sounds.

The next mail you sent was composed using HTML. Be aware that plain text messages are preferred. This is as good a place as any. Most of could care less as long as it pertains to Linux and Ham Radio.
