Whilst for some ops the custom built interfaces are very convenient, I have
used very basic compnents to interface my Paragon, Pegasus and other rigs
with great success. You do need to monitor the drive level very
carefully....... Hi!
An attenuator into the mic socket is just a couple of resistors.
PTT, now via a serial/usb converter is a single transistor.
Plenty of basic info on, for example, some of the PSK web sites.

Subject: [TenTec] RTTY on the Omni VI
Can anyone offer a bit of basic advice on rtty connections and operation
with the Omni 6 please.
The limited amount of digital stuff I've played with over the past 25
years has always been through rigblaster interfaces and I believe the
Omni 6 has the right connections to do without one for rtty and other
digital modes.
I note there is audio in , audio out and mark/space rca's on the back of
the rig, but the info in the manual is somewhat lacking compared to the
FT 920 and soundcard I was using at the last attempt.
I've used various programs including mixw2 and mmtty amongst others,
But a bit of guidance wouldn't go amiss.
I'm not a digi mode sort of operator, SSB is my first love ( sacrilege
I hear most of you say ) but would love to have a play !!
I have an Omni VI opt3 and an Omni D series B
Replies off list would be fine.
Mni tnx
