K3 and Hamlib control

[Jobst Vandrey-2]

I am running the Debian Squeeze flavor of Linux and have fldigi installed
as well as libhamlib2.  However, I get no results trying to use the rig
control features.

As far as I can determine, the serial port is working but I get a
communication time out error in the fldigi log when hamlib is set for the
Elecraft K3 (Beta) option.  Any suggestions?

The K3 and rig control screens are both set to 9600 baud and using one stop
bit.

Everything does work well using VOX to key the rig (I do use an external
sound card and have onboard audio disabled as well as having all system
sounds disabled in the ALSA mixer)  so I can operate in digital modes
without issues -  would just like to have some more automation if possible.

FYI - I also have JT65-HF running using the latest and greatest version of
wine on the same system - all is good there as well using VOX.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Jobst.

The version of Hamlib in Squeeze predates my getting the K3 and updating
its backend appropriately.

If you want to compile a later version, let me know.  I should ask
Kamal, KA6MAL, if he would put an updated Hamlib on
backports.debian.org.
