I noticed the same thing recently after I made a new interface. For
about 2 years now, I have been applying the com port TD output through a
1K resistor, directly to the RTTY SHIFT pin of the MP. I originally got
this configuration from a help doc for RITTY/K6STI. When I built a new
interface, I thought it would be nicer to use a transistor for the FSK
line too (like the PTT line), but it didn't work. Thus I simply went
back to TD -> 1K resistor -> RTTY SHIFT and things are nifty again.
Once again, this has worked fine for 2 years without any problems.
YMMV - GL (Please don't email me to tell me the grounds aren't
isolated etc etc. Thanks)
