[Elecraft] KX3 and FLDIGI

[Joel Black]

I think most of those on the linuxham (or Win Fldigi) group would 
recommend you use Flrig to control your radio when using Fldigi. There 
is a version of Flrig for each of the three major OS's. I *do* suggest 
you join one or the other group - linuxham for Linux and OS X, Win 
Fldigi for windows.

I use Fldigi with Flrig with my K3. When I get a chance, I will get my 
KX3 set up to run with Fldigi/Flrig, but it will be either Friday or 
Saturday before I can do that. Either way, I use macros within Fldigi to 
control the modes on my radio especially on MARS nets where phone and 
digital are used on the same frequency. Receiving data is not a huge 
deal in USB (phone) but I still prefer to use a macro to swap between 
USB and DATA A. You do have to make sure you set the *correct* data mode.
