Hi Steve
Forgive me if I missed anything, and am going over stuff of which you
are already aware.
Using Rigcat should work fine you take the ts850.xml file, edit it,
and save it in your fldigi.files folder (directory) as rig.xml.
When using that TS850 or rig.xml file you can opt for rts/cts
handshaking, but if you do you can't then select rts for ptt as well.
If your TS850 cat plug has pins 4&5 handshaking linked together then
you don't need to select it as true in the rig.xml file, and can
specify rts for ptt.
There is no reason why the current open release should not recognise
your rig.xml file though. If the com port syntax is changed to com6
instead of the default Linux format, and the baud rate / stop bits
match, then probably the only thing which would stop the cat
functioning is the handshaking. Generically a lot of users of the
Kenwoods link pins 4 and 5 together on the 6 pin cat plug to give
permanent hard wire handshaking anyhow.
Well, that's my two penneth anyhow Steve :-). I hope it helps.
Regards,
Dave G3VFP

Thanks for the reply.
Hp 2.4 mhz machine with 1 meg ram. Edgeport to convert serial to usb,
ex sp3. G3??? cable from 13 pin port on 850 to edgeport for cat,
rigblaster for audio.
I have tried the hamlib selection, and it displays the 850, I change
port and data rate, initialize, and still no frequency display. The
audio portion works fine.
If I select the rig cat, and edit the 850 html file that is available,
It only shows the comment to select an html file, it does not open a
file.
I'll wait and see. Thanks again.
Steve
