Now my question: I anybody on either reflector running a Yaesu FT-950
with a SignaLink USB in RTTY|LSB or RTTY|USB mode? If so, what
do you use for Menu Settings in the FT-950 that allows RTTY|LSB or
RTTY|USB operation? As I stated above, I can only get a steady tone
out and no diddle. I can make contacts using the PKT|LSB mode I
normally use, but at my age, life is too short for QRP. Hi Hi.
RTTY | USB and RTTY | LSB are FSK modes - Signalink is an AFSK ONLY
interface. If you expect to use FSK, get a second serial port and
build a two transistor (FSK and PTT) interface as shown in the FSK
transmission section of the WinRTTY section of the WriteLog help
file or the AA5AU web site: http://www.aa5au.com/rttyinterface.html
Making up the necessary interface should not cost more than $10 even if
you don't have much of a junk box. If you don't have a second serial
port, dual port PCI or PICe cards are less than $25 from places like
www.newegg.com or www.byterunner.com. If you don't have an open bus
slot, single USB to serial adapters are less than $20 and dual port
for less than $30.
