I bought a Digirig to simplify cable management for FT8 when I am portable. However I am having problems getting it to work. My setup is KX3 & MacBook Air with WSJT-X. Direct connections to the laptop from the KX3 works fine, In trying to setup Digirig CAT control of KX3 I get the following error from WSJT-X:
Hamlib error: rig_flush: called for serial device

I am not running HAMLIB nor Kenwood. This happens no matter which of the 2 serial devices I choose (not the USB Audio). I have an RS232 Digirig which is recommended for KX3.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
