I want to download my WriteLog contest QSOs into LOGic 6 after the
contests are over.

SSB, RTTY and CW for sure, and I will eventually want to experiment with
PSK.

In the past I always ran FSK with my KAM and IC-765, I thought there was
less chance of TX audio distortion with FSK. I wonder if this is an
issue, and are there any advantages to running either FSK or AFSK?

Yes, the rig is an IC-756 ProII. I planned to use the LCU-3 that is
available with LOGic, but may use the ICOM CT-17 as it allows multiple
transceivers to be connected -- I also have an IC-275H.

I can control the PTT from either the LCU-3 or CT-17.
