Bill-

I have two Rascals and have been using them with Ten Tec rigs for years. I currently use one with an Omni VI on AFSK. The "Mic In" plug is green and was labeled when I received it with a felt tip pin. The other plug is black, unlabeled, and plugged into the Line Out jack. I suspect that their plug colors are not standardized.

The other Rascal, as I received it from Buxcom, ran "inverted" on FSK. I opened the unit and attached a 1K resistor to the base of the transistor. This attaches to a wire that is plugged into the FSK jack on the back of the Omni VI and Orion. That worked fine until recently, but something must have come loose in what I did because it quit working. So I'm on AFSK with the stock Rascal until I get around to fixing the other. But AFSK with the Rascal works fine.

Hope this helps. Rascals are inexpensive and it shows.

Does anyone have the set up configuration to hook up a Buxcom rascal
and the Omni VI. Need to know where to hook the Black, Red, White and
Yellow RCS plugs on the back of the Omni VI
