What kind of CAT connection do you have between the computer and the K3?

The iMic is audio only.

I should've added; at the basic level, using the iMic, you should be able to use VOX keying on the K3 to trigger the xmit when you send audio over the iMic. 

With a CAT connections (USB-Serial....I highly recommend the TrippLite USA-19HS on OS X) you can trigger the PTT and change/track frequencies from Fldigi. 

Once I know more about your setup, I'll be glad to help you.  I have a K3 running with Fldigi and OS X with no problem. Feel free to email me directly, if you'd like.

Thanks Dave for your response.  Well I was just trying the audio keying via the iMic.  I would like to get that working but I will look at getting a CAT connection also. I appreciate your help.

You would connect it to the 'computer' connection on the p3...leave the p3 connected to the rig as you have it now.

Subject: KX3 Rig Control
k0guz
Send Email Send Email
 
I love Linux, not only because it makes sense, but because the programs
available for ham radio are in many cases superior to the Windows equivalents. 
CQRLOG is one of them, and fldigi is another one that works well with my small
laptop and Elecraft KX3.  It took me a while to get them both working right, and
here's a couple of tips so that others may not have to reinvent the wheel.

In the fldigi preferences menu, under rig control, click on "Hamlib" and click
the small box that says "Use Hamlib."  Select the K3/KX3 from the drop down box,
and the device "/dev/ttyUSB0", 4800 baud and two stopbits. Leave the other
defaults. If you click on "initialize" and see your transmit frequency in the
main box, then celebrate and ignore the rest of this post.

But it probably won't work,  because when you plug the serial port adapter into
your Linux machine, it will most likely recognize it but will prevent you from
accessing it because you don't have permission to do so.  That's because you
most likely don't belong to the proper group.  Part of Linux security. There's a
command you can enter every time you boot up, but that's a pain and easy to
forget.

Here's a step by step guide to making it work permanently.

1.  Plug in your USB to serial port adapter and get your rig running

2.  Open a terminal window in Linux by pressing CTL-ALT-T.  You'll get a prompt
which consists of your username, the computer you are running on and a dollar
sign.  Mine is "steve@steve-Latitude-D420:~$"  From this prompt, enter the
following commands.  Case is important.

3.  Discover what the USB adapter is called by entering:


ls /sys/class/tty


You'll get a list of perhaps 50 various devices; the last one is your adapter,
and should be ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1.  If you don't see it, you are in trouble and
may have to install the proper drivers.  I didn't have that issue, but if you
do, remember that Google Is Your Friend.


4.  Find out which user groups are authorized to access the adapter by entering:

ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0      (or ttyUSB1 if that's where your device ended up)


The output will show you what permissions have been granted, and to which user
groups.  Mine shows that members of two groups can access it: root and dialout. 
You don't want to become a member of the "root" group because that would
compromise security.


5.  Find out which groups you belong to by entering:


groups


You'll probably see a long list of groups, but "dialout" isn't one of them.


6.  Join the dialout usergroup by entering:


sudo usermod -a -G dialout yourusername



7.  Reboot.


Hope it works for you.

Long way around Steve. fldigi will do most of this for you, it will list
all ports that it sees, including /dev/ttyUSB0. I would recommend
installing flrig, its actively maintained and supported by Dave. You may
want to look here for all of Dave's applications ::

   http://www.w1hkj.com/

Once installed all you need to do is select the K3, the correct com port
from the drop down menus and set the baud rate for the highest that your
rig supports (38400). Click the red INIT in the upper right corner.

Now open a terminal and depending on your distro

sudo adduser (yourusername) dialout.

This works for all flavors of Ubuntu, Mint, as well as Debian.

Log out and then log back in. You do not need to reboot.

Dave, I am using the RS232 connection on the K3 for the P3 connector which is RS232.   Does the TrippLite connect into the that so that I would loose the P3 connection or does it connect into the ACC multipin connector?

I should've added; at the basic level, using the iMic, you should be able to use VOX keying on the K3 to trigger the xmit when you send audio over the iMic. 

With a CAT connections (USB-Serial....I highly recommend the TrippLite USA-19HS on OS X) you can trigger the PTT and change/track frequencies from Fldigi. 

Once I know more about your setup, I'll be glad to help you.  I have a K3 running with Fldigi and OS X with no problem. Feel free to email me directly, if you'd like.

I recently started working with FLDIGI on a Mac using OSX 10.8 in combination with a Elecraft K3. I am using IMIC interface connected to the IMAC USB port going to the K3. This configuration works very well using CoCoaModem software and the K3 software for copying and sending RTTY, CW and PSK 31.
With the FLDIGI I am able to copy all modes very well but I have not got the right combination of Rig control to key to the K3. FLDIGI shows the data being sent correctly but the K3 is not keyed. I would appreciate someone giving me some tips as to how to make this happen. Thanks,

To add to Rich's post.. FreeDV is indeed a pretty slick, patent-free digital voice solution and it's getting very solid now.  It's multi-platform running on Windows, Mac, and Linux and this "FreeDV" GUI running all the Codec2 backend stuff makes it pretty easy to use.  With that said, it's changing often and sometimes they break backward compatibility in favor to get things right before they set it to version 1.0.0. 

I've personally looking forward to trying to use the backend FDMDV HF modem which gives us 1400 BAUD raw / 1100 BAUD with FEC using 14 QPSK carriers for data transport.  Anyway, you can learn a lot more on the technical sides of FreeDV, CODEC2, and the FDMDV technologies via this URL:

Hi folks:
I just found out on flexradio site that the software for digital voice is here. The software is free. Is it possible that FLDIGI could add the software to the already program of FLdigi? It is available for Linux and windows. The website is:

Well your tutorial was well written and easy to follow, but you have to
remember that on this list we have all levels of Linux knowledge. There
are many members, including my self, that could have followed your post
without a problem. But there are others that would have struggled.

And not to imply that fldigi has been "dumbed down", it hasn't and never
will be. Dave has just simplified the install process based on feedback
and ideas from this list. This list is a gold mine of info and not all
of it pertains to fldigi and associated apps, nor is it strictly for
Linux users, everyone is welcome as long as we keep it on subject and
act like we all know we should.

What I would like to see you do is put it on the fldigi wiki::

   https://fedorahosted.org/fldigi/

And just to put your mind at ease, I live in NW Georgia in tornando
alley. In the next week or so, I will shutdown, disconnect everything in
the station and start over in the morning. So rebooting for me is not a
no-no as it used to be, I forget the syntax that showed your uptime and
how proud people were of how long they were online. But when your
weather radio is going off every 5 minutes or so, uptime is not even an
option.

After action report on fldigi-3.21.68 in the BARTG HF RTTY contest.

1. Fldigi worked fine. The bands were terrible and I had family issues so it was a part time effort.

2. Had some cockpit startup issues that were cleared by restarting fldigi.

3. The Cabrillo Report worked perfect.  I used the LoTW tqsl app to sign my aa5vu.log file created by fldigi for upload to LoTW and got the appended report from the UK Contest Manager on the first submittal.

I use fldigi by W1HKJ for daily QSO and contesting because it runs on Mac OS X, has an excellent digital decoder and is easy to use.

OK, here's one for you.  When you plug the USB/Serial adapter into the Linux
machine it initially appears as ttyUSB0.  If, however, you should unplug it or
turn your rig off, and then let the computer drop into standby mode, and then
later in the day wake up the computer and plug the adapter in again (or turn the
rig back on), it shows up as ttyUSB1.

The only way I can get it to go back to ttyUSB0 is to shut the computer down,
wait a few minutes and start it up again.

Windows has been known to do something similar when it assigns an arbitrary
drive letter to a USB drive or thumb disk, and I never figured out how to keep
the drive letter consistent.

Any ideas on the ttyUSB0/1 issue?

I hope there's an easier answer but the only one I know of is to write
a custom udev rule so it always get's the same device name.

Perhaps something like this:

Hi all;
Had a good time on the contest this weekend but conditions were so bad only
worked two stations outside US, but good pointe for them and still fun.
But noticed one thing rare abt fldigi. In Mexico we arent on dalight time until
april. Romlog sets time by mac system time but i can adjust offset in prefs of
the program. Couldn't find any place to set offset in fldigi so had to set cpu
time 1hr off for fldigi but then rumlog was wrong unless reset!  Any help on
where to adjust til April?

Humorous note: I didn't notice that I was sending utc 1hr off until 40 or so
contacts and no one even commented!  A couple asked for repeats when the signal
was strong but they accepted the automatically generated repeat. Hope I didn't
cause anyone log problems.

Thank you for the report Dick. I used to be active more then a year ago in the
BARTG and other RTTY and data modes contests and your report is helping me be
motivated to get going again! I too use Mac OS X ...
