FT-710 and FLDigi
I’ve had mostly bad luck with fldigi. I got PSK working (not that many people use PSK), so at some point I’m able to follow directions, and along those lines, my radio can connect to FLDigi.
I’ve been exceedingly unsuccessful at anything CW related though. I can get FLDigi to decode incoming CW signals. I have absolutely zero luck in getting my radio to transmit any CW. I’ve tried my radio in CW-U, CW-L, DATA-L. I’ve played around with every possible FLDigi setting(Modem - CW - DTS-RTR, CAT keying), Rig Control flrig, CAT, Hamlib, Hardware PTT, etc. I’ve played around with tons of the FT-710 Radio and CW settings. At best in DATA or CW mode, all I can manage to do is to get my laptop to key the mic and broadcast a solid tone while FLDigi appears to be sending CW letters.
Oddly after playing around with PSK (FT-710 in PSK mode), I accidentally had FLDigi in OpMode - CW and accidentally clicked the Call CQ macro. To my surprise, it broadcast actual CW signals.
What am I doing? Can someone please explain how to properly connect my FT-710 to FLDigi in order to use my laptop to send and receive CW?
Thank you!
