[Elecraft] K2 using fldigi and rigCAT

Hi,

I've been using my K2 successfully with AA6YQ's DXLab Commander and
WinWarbler.  There are some modes WinWarbler does not support, so I wanted
to try fldigi-3.21.40.

Fldigi is able to control the K2 using HamLib, but for some reason will not
work when using rigCAT.  I downloaded the K2.xml file but saw an older post
by G4ILO that the K2 and K3 .xml files on the fldigi website do not work. 
The K2.xml file is dated 2010, newer than G4ILO' post, so I'm not sure if
his observation is still valid.

I don't get any kind of error message, it simply doesn't communicate with
the rig.  I'm using a serial COM port, not a USB/serial adapter.  Strangely,
HamLib control works fine.

Has anyone had success using the K2.xml file with rigCAT?  Does it need some
sort of modification to work properly?   Thanks!
