Digirig Mobile, FLRig v2.0.05, IC-756(Non-Pro) NO PTT

, ,

I have both FT8, JS8 and Winlink VARA-HF and ARDOP working.
In FLrig I do have CAT Control for Freqs and Modes BUT no PTT.
It was suggested I use PTT-Generic. Settings suggested:
PTT On Cat Serial Port
OFF(CAT)
OFF(RTS)
OFF(DTR)
No check marks

PTT Control
Port COM (My Com# is 7) (Same as my Rig Control Comport#) No other Com# available.
SET(RTS)
RTS+12V checked
When I enter my Com# 7 and set “SET RTS” “OFF DTR”
Enable RTS +12v
I click init and the COM# goes to none.

Now I can use RigCat in FLdigi with Toggle RTS for PTT and NO problems there.
So what am I doing wrong on FLrig.

AS a FYI I have tried Digirig Lite with a seperate CI-V CAT Control cable and all works as it should. But that defeats the purpose of using Digirig Mobile with built in CI-V Control.

Any ideas that I missed??? 73 de Steve KB6HOH

This sounds like erratic behavior on the part of FlRig. Maybe due to a bug of some sort.
In my case (Windows PC) the port is not listed and I have to type it in. Then upon Init the radio keys up as expected.

Try explicitly typing in the serial port reference. Also see if behavior follows across different FlRig versions.

I am having the exact same issue with my IC-718.
All the other apps work except flrig.
Tried the same steps as you with no success.
Any more progress?

Robbo! I had the same issue with our Clubs 756Pro III.
I went back to FLrig 2.0.0 thru 2.0.03. They worked but anything later than that NO!

Denis! I will give that a try.

I will also try some earlier versions of FLrig and see what happens.

                   Tnx and 73!

Hi Steve,

I did try downgrading, it exhibits the same behaviour (locks up PTT if use any of the RTS options).
It’s very odd because using the applications individually works really well).

All! I’m still at a loss.
Denis, I tried as you indicated but still them same problem.
I went to an earlier ver of 2.0 and its the same problem.
So I’m going to leave it at that for now. Anyway tnx for the help.
