Hi,

I want to use pat running on a Windows PC, and the transceiver is controlled by FLRIG on the same Windows PC.

How do I configure pat to use FLRIG to control the PTT.  FLRIG is configured to control the PTT via a separate COM port with the DTR line.

When using either VARA-HF, or ARDOP, the audio reaches the remote USB audio card, but the PTT button is not keyed by FLRIG.

How do you configure Pat to use FLRIG for the PTT (via a separate COM port) and to read (or control) the frequency via FLRIG.

Help with adapting my default Pat config file will be appreciated!
