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.
Thank You
If you use Fldigi's RigCAT method, you'll need to edit the K3.XML file
to suit the KX3 better. 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.
