Kx3 and fldigi
Locked
 
|
Anyone here tried rig control for the KX3 using fldigi and received a init:_IO error message? I've recently been dabbling in the digital modes and can't seem to find a specific answer to the issue. My web searches aren't helping much either. I've tried reconfiguring setting based on suggestions and instructions but can seem to pin point the solution. Im using windows 7 and a signalink unit. I can key tx manually but cannot get the rig controls initiate for using hamlib or rigCAT.
If any one can point me in the right direction for answers that would be very helpful.

Re: "...cannot get the rig controls initiate for using hamlib or rigCAT."
I had same issue here, although occasionally it would work fine. I finally downloaded FLRIG from the FLDIGI download page and started using it instead of hamlib or rigcat. It has worked reliably for several years now.

Have you loaded KX3.xml needed for RigCat? Get it at
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/xmls/elecraft/KX3.xml/download>. Also read the notes at the top of the KX3.xml file.(Can be opened with a text editor.) You may also want to try to control via flrig. You will need to read the fldigi manual on how to set this up. Latest files for fldigi are at: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/fldigi/> Latest files for flrig are at: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/flrig/> Chose the appropriate file for your operating system. Manuals are available in the same directories. Mentor assistance is available on the following Yahoo groups: * linuxham - primarily for Linux and OS X users * NBEMSham - support for using the entire suite in an EMCOMM environment all operating systems * winfldigi - for users on Windows OS. Hope something here will help get you going. On 03/18/2016 09:43 PM, Stan wrote: > Anyone here tried rig control for the KX3 using fldigi and received a init:_IO error message?

IIRC someone said they had a KX3.XML file, but I forget who. If you wish to edit the K3 XML file, use the excellent editor "Geany" (Windows or Linux) as that has the ability to format the listing and highlight the syntax of XML files. Hamlib's K3 backend sort of works, but is less than optimum, plus Hamlib has serious functionality issues on many Windows systems I find... Flrig: "Mostly" works, but there are issues with the control command ranges (especially the RF gain, and Filter settings) while swapping A/B VFO's is fraught with trouble... I've recently been working on the KX3 backend within Flrig and have sorted out some of the issues, but A/B VFO swapping is still buggy, plus one or two other much more minor wrinkles remain... I've just not had enough of the right sort of contiguous free time to get deep enough in to even learn exactly what Flrig is trying to do to the radio that P's it off so much. I'll contact Dave W1HKJ and get him to merge in what I have working so far, into the production run of Flrig. But, that wont be this weekend, as we have a house full of grandchildren at this time, and I need eyes in the back of my head! Though the K3 and KX3 share many features, the devil is in the detail down in the weeds, when you start commanding the things over a remote control link. 73.
