Hello,

My KX3 works well with fldigi via hamlib on my iMac. I also like to watch the larger band activity from the
KX3 IQ output using the waterfall display in DSP Radio version 1.4.1. But until now I had to manually change
the waterfall center frequency to track the rig frequency.

So I have written a little glue program that connects between hamlib's rigctld daemon and DSP Radio that
keeps the waterfall centered on the rig frequency automatically. It should work with any rig supported by
hamlib. You can get the source code here: http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/ham/rigDSP.c . Instructions are
in the comments at the top of the file. You'll need command line tools from Apple's Xcode and rigctld from
the hamlib distro (I use the one from the port collection). Feel free to contact me offline for questions or
suggestions.

And a big thank you to Sebastian Mrozek for DSP Radio.
