I am running into an issue with fldigi and PTT performance. When I put fldigi into transmit there is a delay of a couple of seconds before it actually flips the serial bits.
I am using a Rigblaster Plus on com1/S0. This seems to be specific to Ubuntu/fldigi on this PC because it works as expected with XP/fldigi (and other pieces of software) on this same PC.
Any hints as to what to look at? There is not much to set for /dev/ttyS0 based PTT within fldigi.

Does your radio support PTT via the rig control interface? That is what I use on my FT-920 and it is a snap (got rid of one serial port that way).
Not that I am aware of. I don't think that Icom's of that vintage do. I have never been able to get it to work if they do. :-) (And not for a lack of trying either.)
