Re: [digitalradio] Andy-Fldigi help
Hi Andy, I all so used the pull down secltion (TS-450s) option, my interface for the radio is home made it works fine with (HRD-MMTTY-Commander) it control the radio as in (Txing-freq tracking-change mode), I all so check commander to see how the (RTS and DSR) was set and set the same in Fldigi, all I get is a ficker from the mode mode below the frequency window, Maybe I'm reading more into this then is there, will Fldigi track my radio frequency as it moves up and down the band ?, or do I need to add it frequency to the list next to the read out ?. I now have access to the Fldigi group now and they will be able to help me I hope this is my 2nd time trying to get this to work. Thanks Russell Yesterday is HISTORY. Tomorrow is a MYSTERY. Today is a GIFT! Thats why its called the PRESENT!

Re: [digitalradio] Andy-Fldigi help
Russell, If you look at the fldigi HamLib selections, the TS-450S is listed as a beta version (which means it probably does not work! hi!) Instead try using RigCat with fldigi and download the TS-450 xml file from this link: http://www.w1hkj.com/xmlarchives.html Put the file in the Rigs folder in fldigi.files, configure for RigCat (the diamonds are sorta faint, so be sure they have color if need to be checked) and see if that works. 73, Skip KH6TY http://kh6ty.home.comcast.net - Original Message - From: Russell Blair To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 8:26 AM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Andy-Fldigi help Hi Andy, I all so used the pull down secltion (TS-450s) option, my interface for the radio is home made it works fine with (HRD-MMTTY-Commander) it control the radio as in (Txing-freq tracking-change mode), I all so check commander to see how the (RTS and DSR) was set and set the same in Fldigi, all I get is a ficker from the mode mode below the frequency window, Maybe I'm reading more into this then is there, will Fldigi track my radio frequency as it moves up and down the band ?, or do I need to add it frequency to the list next to the read out ?.

Re: [digitalradio] Andy-Fldigi help
I still don't understand why anyone would want the increased complication of using RigCat if the Hamlib works well for you. There are no files to put anywhere. It just works for me. I think I tried it on one of my wife's ICOM IC-7000 rigs, and I could also test it on my ICOM 746 Pro as well. \ If Hamlib works fine, use it, of course, but if it does not, and your rig is supported by an xml file, or if you can modify an xml file to suit your transceiver if it is not yet supported, RigCat provides a way out of the problem. Unfortunately, Hamlib does not work right for all listed transceivers - just for some. 73, Skip KH6TY NBEMS Development Team
Re: [digitalradio] Andy-Fldigi help
Agreed that this is the best approach. Do you find that a given rig (such as an ICOM 756 Pro series) that is supported by Hamlib, will work with some rigs and not with others of the same exact model and set up? I have used the West Mountain RigTalk interface and my homebrew interface for the rig control portion with very good results on my ICOM rigs, using the CI-V. All of the rigs that I have tested so far are ones that support PTT via CI-V interface. In fact, I would not longer purchase a rig that can not do this. 73, Rick, KV9U kh6ty wrote: I still don't understand why anyone would want the increased complication of using RigCat if the Hamlib works well for you.
