Rig control using either flrig, fldigi, or hamlib work perfectly here 
with my 450. With fldigi you do not set DTR+12 or RTS+12. I suggest you 
try flrig, its stand-alone and is at w1hkj.com. I am the alpha tester 
for the 450 and flrig, as well as fldigi. With flrig all you need to do 
is select the correct port and click on the "init" button.
