[Elecraft] [KX3} rig control with fldigi

[Mike WA8BXN]

I have found the solution to my problem. First, when the initialize button
is pressed an error message appeared on the bottom of the main window, not
on the configuration window that pops up. It took me a while to see that. I
am using the hamlib option to control the KX3. It seems the com port number
cannot be bigger than 9 for it to work. My Elecraft USB cable defaulted to a
com port greater than 9, so it did not work. Going to device manager for
that com port, one can change to com port number, in my case I changed it to
com2 and it works fine now.

For some reason I can't seem to get any control of the KX3 from the PC 

running fldigi. Used the elecraft utitily to verify port number and baud 

rate. Set those in fldigi for hamlib. Set other parameters there as 

suggested by K4MTX blog. Pressed initialized button. No error indication. 

Changing dial freq on KX3 not reflected on PC, changing freq in fldigi doesn


t change XK3. Pressing T/R button in fldigi does nothing. I am able to 

decode received signals with fldigi fine. I must be missing something simple


Any ideas? 

 

 

 

Thanks,
