Re: [Elecraft] Fldigi - K3 connection
Sometimes I have found that when starting FlDigi, the cat linkage doesn't work on FLDigi's start-up. I then have to go to FLDigi's menu and do the following: Configure-->Rig Control-->RigCat tab --> Initialize button. If the button doesn't turn red, you should be able to see changes on the rig or on FLDigi sync'ed between the rig and FLDigi.

Re: [Elecraft] Fldigi - K3 connection
Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply. I had found that "howto" file, but can't make much sense of it. The current K3.xml file relays changes between the rig and the two little blue boxes under the frequency display, but these changes are not reflected in the fldigi operate mode, nor do changes in the op mode result in changes in the K3. Nor do the changes in these little boxes get reflected in the log entry, which is very annoying. So do your modifications correct these problems? If so, could I have a copy of it. 73 and Happy New Year, George On 1/1/2017 10:37 AM, Brian Waterworth wrote: Yes, I have had success with my KX3 and FlDigi by modifying the rig xml for the K3 as a starting point.

Re: [Elecraft] Fldigi - K3 connection
Hi George, Do you mean DATA/USB/CW/etc. mode information, or something else? I have fldigi 3.22 displaying DATA mode during normal operation, using Rigcat and K3.XML as the rig control template. Are you saying you can't see a mode change after accessing the drop-down (next to the main frequency readout)? You should be able to see mode and filter, and you should be able to change them. 73, matt W6NIA On 1/1/2017 7:02 AM, George Kidder wrote: Hi gang, I am running fldigi with my K3, and everything works as indicated in the manual.

Re: [Elecraft] Fldigi - K3 connection
Yes, I have had success with my KX3 and FlDigi by modifying the rig xml for the K3 as a starting point. Here is the howto: http://www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp/rig_xml_page.html It took me a little longer to figure out the xml file's relationships, but this howto didn't exist then. Once you see the linkages among the various XML elements, you will be changing the k3.xml file with ease.

[Elecraft] Fldigi - K3 connection
Hi gang, I am running fldigi with my K3, and everything works as indicated in the manual. It would be useful if fldigi was able to poll the K3 for mode information, and set itself accordingly. I suspect that a modification of the K3.xml file might accomplish this, but I don't know enough about the programming to see where. Has anyone succeeded in getting mode information from the K3 to fldigi?
