Re: setting up Fldigi

Hi All,
I am in the process of getting started with digital operations.
I have a Signal Link USB connected to the K3. I have been able to RX and TX
but know would like to us rig control is this possible at this time. I see
on the web site for Fldigi that the K series is a Beta state.
I would like to change freq on the K3 and have the display change with it
like logging programs.
I hope that this is possible at this time.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Re: setting up Fldigi

I have gotten fldigi tor track the K3 frequency using the
Elecraft USB to RS-232 cable on my Mac. Make sure no other
program is using the interface and select K3 in the rig
selection on fldigi.

Signalink USB does not provide a serial control interface for the rig.

You will not be able to control the K3 with *only* Signalink USB - you
will need a traditional serial port, USB to serial adapter, or another
interface that includes the USB to serial adapter function.

With the proper hardware there is no problem controlling the K3 from
fldigi or most other digital and/or logging programs that provide for
rig control.

Re: setting up Fldigi

...and I would like to add that downloading and installing Flrig will
help quite a bit with controlling the radio. Flrig connects via XML to
Fldigi and gives greater control than RigCAT or Hamlib. Flrig will give
you CAT control of the K3 via serial port (or USB-to-serial).

On another note, depending on your OS, there are two Yahoo groups
pertaining to Fldigi - Win-Fldigi (I think) pertains to Fldigi on
Windows; Linuxham pertains to Fldigi on Linux and the Mac OS. Linuxham
*also* deals with ham radio and Linux / Mac OS in general too.

I use it just fine it has said beta for a long time and I have not had
issues. If using windows, to run multiple programs that control the K3
you can use a Virtual Serial Port Emulator VSPE.
http://www.eterlogic.com/ it will let you run multiple programs that
can control the K3 I run FLdigi with logger32 and both communicate at
the same time just fine even K3 utility will run with it and K3-EZ all
concurrently. 32 bit version is free 64 bit you have to pay for
since they have to pay some licence fee to Microsoft for components used
in the 64bit version.
