## How to connect your radio to fldigi while running wfview
Here is the basics: wfview creates a "pseudo-terminal" ("pt") device which wfview monitors and forwards data to and from the radio. The pt looks like a serial port to other programs and responds accordingly. wfview creates a symlink to the pt when it starts up. The symlink is "/tmp/rig" and can be used by any serial port program. The catch is that you will typically need to edit the program's settings files manually to type in "/tmp/rig", and you will need to start wfview first.

You can verify control by hitting the "T/R" button in fldigi or "PTT" in flrig to see if transmitting works. Try changing the frequency in wfview (rotate the dial control or double-click on the waterfall).
Please note, there is a minor bug in wfview right now which keeps the pt device locked even after flrig exits. To re-connect, first close wfview and open wfview again. Now flrig can connect. Also, it seems that sometimes closing flrig causes fldigi to hang. So the recommendation is, keep everything open. If/when you need to close something, close all three programs. And when you need to open them again, open them in this order: wfview, flrig, fldigi.
