I assume we are discussing the pinout of the 565. At least that's what I'm
indicating. According to page 29 of the 565 manual:
"Pin 5 is for future assignment"
............
"Pin 7 is the FSK mark/space input."
I believe you are correct and the red cable IS connected to pin 5 and on page
28 of the manual it indicates that:
"RED = pin 5, future assignment."
There is no connection to pin 7 via this dongle.

>> The Tentec supplied dongle has 4 cables/connectors.
>>
>> They are:
>> Line Audio In = white - to pin 1 from computer sound card
>> Line Audio Out = yellow - to pin 4 to computer sound card
>> PTT = black to pin 3 - either a foot switch of manual switch. Can be
>> controlled from the RS-232 connector on the computer.
>> FSK = FSK to pin 2 - must toggle from high to low for mark / space
>>
>> For true FSK {and not AFSK} a proper interface will be required to toggle
>> pin 2 from high to low for proper mark-space operation. The radio should be
>> in FSK mode. To activate PTT take pin 3 to ground.
>>
>> The easiest way, use the Tentec 712 USB soundcard interface and the computer
>> software of your choice. No fuss, no mess, no external box to adjust. The
>> computer software handles all the levels and switching. Only have to select
>> AUX for the TX audio source.
