Group ,

Thanks for the reply.

But it's not a solution: I am a member of the dialout group. In fact, that was 
what got fldigi to work.

jan@marconi ~ $ id
uid=1000(jan) gid=1000(jan) 
groups=1000(jan),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),110(lpadmin),114(sambashare)

I'm more suspecting interference or some other hardware problem, but then I'm 
rather puzzled with the fact that jpskmail gets more affected by it than fldigi 
...

I am trying to get my boat's radio (ft 817 / microham usb III interface) to 
work in the shack, to have some switching possibilities ...
