Icom 718 issues with flrig

Hello,

I am having issues with the PTT on my 718 with digirig mobile with flrig.

I have configured the Digirig to CIV.

I have gotten the setup to work with Js8Call (using RTS).

However when using flrig (with RTS +12V selected) the TX locks up as soon as I click “init”.

Ive tried both 9600 baud and 4800 baud (with appropriate changes made in the radio to match).

Any ideas on how to solve this issue? I like flrig as I can use many different apps at the same time.

The relevant section for configuration of PTT by RTS is “PTT Generic”. The screenshot is for serial CAT control. Here you want RTS unchecked.

Thanks for the reply.

Which of the settings do I adjust?
I am assuming its the RTS option, but there is “BOTH”, “GET” and “SET”.
Also should the RTS +12V box be checked?

If you use CAT control then it’s top, if now then bottom.
On the bottom you can select Digirig’s port or type in the port if it is not listed.
The signal is RTS and you may need to check +12V option on it. Give it a try see what works.

You want to change the OFF next to RTS and check the box next to RTS +12.

The 718 doesn’t support CI-V PTT, so you have to do it here.
