[Elecraft] [KX3} rig control with fldigi

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

The Fldigi waterfall display and the rig control/frequency display are 
two different animals.  The waterfall comes from the soundcard stuff and 
the rig control/frequency display comes from the computer to KX3 
communications over the RS-232 bus.  These are independent functions.

You will have t experiment with the RigCAT or HamLib settings to get 
things to work.  Make sure you tell the application which COM port is 
connected to the KX3.  The web help pages and user forums for RigCAT or 
HamLib may be of assistance.

73,
