[Elecraft] K3 / FLDIGI problem...

[John Ragle]

I am:

Using WIN 7 Ultimate.

Using Elecraft K3/100 set to "Data A" or to "USB." RS232 params set to 
19200 + 1 stop.
Using E'craft USB to RS232 adapter, which loads driver and selects 
COM13. Device manager shows COM13/19200/1 stop.

Using SignaLink USB with E'craft cable to rear connections.

Using either fldigi 3.12.5 or 3.20.b9...problem is the same with either.
 
Using RigCat with K3.xml, 19200 + 1 stop on Com 13.


Everything appears to be normal...receive OK, transmit OK via SignaLink, 
TX power levels correct, waterfall appears normal.

Problem: NO CAT Control...no rig control (frequency) via fldigi. (Should 
be coming in on the RS232 line. Disconnecting the RS232 line has no 
effect.)

On bringing up fldigi it throws an error    "E: rigCAT_getfreq: Hexout 
failed" & in addition the "QSY" button on the bottom toolbar is greyed 
out. Both these are clearly related to the failure to communicate across 
the RS232 line.

Any suggestions?
