In FLDigi  select Configure and choose rig control.   Then select the 
Hamlib tab    In that window check the  "use Hamlib" button, then in the 
rig menu box select the "Elecraft K3 (beta)". The Device should be the 
com port that the K3 is connected to.  Set the baud rate to the same as 
it is set on the K3.   sideband:  to rigmode The rest of the default 
values should work.  including PTT via Hamlib command should be checked  
   then under Harware PTT tab make sure that all boxes are 
unchecked.      At this point click initalize  it should connect  and 
you should see the frequency read out.   be sure to click save and close.

If it fails FLDigi may hang and show 'not responding' for half a minute 
or so.  if this happens check that the port and baud settings are 
correct and that there are no other applications using the same Com Port.

you will find FLDigi will now be able to put the K3 into transmit for 
you as well without the PTT connection, this is done through a command 
being sent via the serial port  rather than PTT or using the RTS/DTS.

if its working   close the program and reopen it.    this will 
permanently save the changes.

rig control is somwhat limited in FLdigi  you can change mode and QSY    
if you want more control you can use FLRig.   the windows version is a 
little limited vs the Linux version but it still works quite well for 
basic rig control.
