William, I never did try the TT cable since I already had the Rascal
interface plugged into the computer. All I had to do then was get the cable
from Buxcomco with the 5 pin din connectors on both ends to run from the
Argo to the Rascal. This way I am set up for all the digital modes
including cw, psk and rtty. All cables are prewired for your particular rig
and you just plug it all in. I have both my Orion and my Argo V set up this
way.
I use a data transfer switch ( which I also got from Buck ) to switch from
the Orion to the Argo. So, I can run either rig with the Rascal on all
modes.
Got to Google and search Rascal GLX and it will take you to Bucks website.
