I was hoping that someone here could help with some details on the 746, since I have never seen or operated one. I looked thru hamlib.org and Ekki's site but didn't really see anything. Google wasn't much better. Evidently he is trying to key the rig thru the CI-V cable rather than a stand alone serial port. I'll suggest that he consider the stand alone. Thanks...73
Ed: well, two things are necessary - hamlib must support PTT on the
IC-746, and gMFSK needs to support PTT via hamlib, not just
serial/parallel. I don't know about the former, but it isn't obvious
from the configuration screens that gMFSK supports the latter anyway.
Another alternative is VOX, if the 746 has it.

Evidently hamlib does not support ptt via the ci-v, I found 1 reference to trying to use the parallel port for ptt with gMFSK with the 746. This would be a viable solution, but he is a newbie and followed my suggestion to use vox for now. He has 2 serial ports, ci-v on one and a ups on the other. thanks for your time and help....73
