For FSK I use a 3 transistor interface from a serial port to the Orion.
One transistor is used for CW keying and the other for FSK, the third is
the PTT transistor needed for FSK. I think the specifics were in the
N1MM contest logging program documentation.
Use pretty pretty much any simple switching type transistors and a few
other small parts, resistors and diodes. Too easy to not work.

I have an Orion 565 and in addition to mostly operating CW I do use the radio
for RTTY using FSK. My question (in a minute) is not to generate a debate on
the pros and cons of RTTY using FSK or AFSK. I learned RTTY some 45 years ago
on the old machines and was brought up on FSK so that is what I wish to stay
with. My debacle is this. For several years now I have had two rather expensive
interfaces that I have used (two of the same make and model). The first one
failed as a result of a nearby lightening strike and the second just failed
because (you fill in the blank). I am tired of getting a second mortgage for a
piece of equipment. What products in use seem to be most popular? I do want
something that will allow mw to use CW and RTTY. I am not interested in the
other various digital modes at this time although I would guess that they all
do most of the same things. Maybe I will need a second mortgage after all.
Thanks in advance,
