Will digirig simplify connecting my Hermes Lite 2 to FLdigi for digital modes?

Yes, you can use Digirig for PTT on the HL2. I prototyped a custom cable TRRS ↔ TRS, configured a digital mode application (not fldigi) to pull PTT on TX, set the appropriate config in Quisk, and the Digirig did the job.
