[Elecraft] K3 / FLDIGI problem...

[David Herring, K6DCH]

John,

Have you tried Hamlib to see if you are able to establish a connection  
to your rig?

If Hamlib worked and RigCat didn't that could narrow down your field  
of possibilities.

Also, does the Elecraft utility communicate with your rig using this  
configuration?

73, Dave. K6DCH
