Anyone know if someone's working on a hamlib interface for the 6000 series? I'm doing okay with the Kenwood TS-2000 interface; just curious... 73, George

    George, I assume this is for fldigi. Tim created the SmartSDR.xml and PowerSDR.xml for use in RigCAT. Is there an advantage of using Hamlib over RigCAT?

    I've written a flex 6K back end for hamlib, which I run on a Linux box and connect to the Flex CAT network socket. I don't think it supports all the latest features that have been added to CAT (it does not support S meter reading or any feature added after that). I've been testing it myself, and plan to upstream it to Nate N0NB soon. Maybe I'll send it to him this week, it's been stable for me. I've only tested on a 6700, so testing on a 6500 would be great. If you want to build it and try it, you can find it here: https://github.com/sconklin/hamlib in the flex6k-clean branch

    Thanks, guys. Steve - I'll take a look. And Don, no, not that I understand. Just have a couple of different apps that talk to the rig (bless you, SmartCAT!) and hamlib is the "common denominator."
