First time using digirig. v1.9. Baofeng cable set.  
Windows 10, x64, current  
Device manager sees the digirig driver. Sets COM7.  
Sound: named as “digirig 1.9 TX” “digirig 1.9 RX”  
fldigi sees these port devices under Soundcard \> Devices.  
fldigi Rig Control \> Hardware PTT sees COM1. Device manager doesn’t. Is this a problem with fldigi?  
F6A is not keyed. Can’t tell if audio is going out. Using TUNE to test.  
Reading the digirig pages, I get the impression audio is on L channel, and PTT on R?  
I tried fldigi:Soundcard \> Right channel \> PTT tone on R channel. No joy.  
Can’t find any combo of fldigi settings that key the radio.  
When I cycle power on the F6A, fldigi sees an audio spike, a sort of brief 3kHz-wide burst, indicating the digirig is sending to fldigi.  
Windows Sound dialog meter indicates outbound audio when I hit TUNE.  
I’m using the black digirig cable from the set.

I have “solved” the problem by going back to fldigi 4.1.20.  
fldigi:  
Selected Rig Control \> Hardware \> Use sep port PTT. /Now/ using correct COM port. Selected Use RTS. Initialize.  
Soundcard \> Right channel \> Modem signal on both channels deselected. (All boxes unchecked)
