FLDIGI Not Keying Transmit

Barry Winters
Barry Winters Member ✭
in SmartSDR for Mac
Using HamLib net CAT control on both software programs. Flex shows connected and FLDIGI responds to changes implemented on Flex. When I try to transmit, I am not seeing any sign of outgoing signal. Same basic setup works with dogparkSDR perfectly. Have explored every alternative I can think of and still no joy. Flex shows its transmitting when I push the tune button in SmartSDR but not when I do same in FLDIGI. All ideas gladly accepted.

    Barry,

    Make sure you have the Blue DAX button enabled and DAX TX button enabled and correct DAX channel selected in the Slice window, this is for the audio. To key the radio, SmartCAT either com port selected or TCP port if using network transport of CAT commands .

    [Edit: Should have paid attention to the category - ignore my post - I have not yet purchased SSDR for Mac.]

    Barry,

    A bit more information might be useful. You mention "both software programs" - to which two are you referring? Also, you mention dogpark, so presumably a Mac. What version O/S? What are you using for Dax / Cat? What version of SSDR on the radio?

    It sounds like your Dax is having issues - are you connected to the correct slice? Sorry for more questions than answers, but digging in needs the answers.

    It seems like there was a Bug that Marcus has fixed in v1.3.2.

    In the Mac store, you will want to update SmartSDR once it is released by Apple.

    B) Thanks Dudley et al for responding. Just to clarify, everything works perfectly in SmartSDR except getting the radio to transmit from FLDigi. When I push tune button in SmartSDR, the radio transmits. When I push tune button in FLDigi the radio does not transmit. I can change FLDigi settings from the radio-for example band-but I can't get FLDigi to transmit. All of this is setup for digital-primarily PSK31-as I am profoundly hard of hearing and only do digital. Also, I am using Loopback to provide the digital cables to pass data between SmartSDR and fldigi. I am using TCP ports over my LAN. Thanks again to all.

    Have the same issue here. Using Hamlib, rig control is fine. DAX is solid. Just no PTT, despite "PTT via Hamlib command" checked. CAT setting in SSDR is for RigCtl/Hamlib.

    Am using VOX with no problem, though.
