Andy, try using RigCat for radio control. Download the IC706MKIIG file from http://www.w1hkj.com/xmls/icom/ICOM706MKIIG.xml, put it in the fldigi.files/Rigs folder, select the ICOM706MKIIG, and be sure the tiny diamond to use RigCat is selected.
You may have better luck with RigCat than HamLib. 73, Skip KH6TY http://kh6ty.home.comcast.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew O'Brien To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 9:05 AM Subject: [digitalradio] FLDIGI with a Icom706MKII no PTT I am helping someone set up FL-DIGI with an Icom 706MKII. Using Hamlib and the radio from the drop-down list "Icom796MKII Untested" we achieve rig control for frequency changes but NOT PTT. Using "rig control" and a XML file for the 706MKII we did not achieve either. So, it looks like Hamlib is doing everything except PTT, anyone have any suggestions? Andy K3UK
