It's not a matter of  Hamlib, RigCat or the DXLab bridge.  Fldigi simply
refuses to acknowledge the multiple digital submodes in the K3 or apply
audio correction to either DATA_A or AFSK_A.  The issue also shows in
fldigi's failure to get the sideband sense correct in AFSK_A ... the
developers of fldigi simply do not care about the transceiver control
details (it's not just the K3).  As far as they are concerned the
details of the individual rig control are immaterial and only cause
anomalous behavior.
