Hi Folks,
I am tearing my hair out trying to get WL set up for FSK using a Rigblaster Pro
and an Icom 756PROIII. I had WL working beautifully when I was in AFSK mode.
However when I added the second serial cable in order to enable FSK keying, I
cannot get the rig to transmit RTTY in FSK. FSK and rig control DOES work fine
with standalone MMTTY. Here is what I understand:
1) With the Rigblaster Pro, you cannot have FSK and Rig Control share the same
serial cable (com port), they must reside on separate com ports/cables.
2) Rigblaster gives you the option of putting Rig Control on either Com port A
or B (but FSK then must be on the other port).
Here is how I have my Rigblaster Pro set up (again it works fine with stand
alone MMTTY):
Rigblaster Comm A: FSK, PTT, and CW - this corresponds to Comm 2 on my computer
Rigblaster Comm B: Rig Control - corresponds to Comm 1 on my computer
For the life of me, I cannot get Writelog properly setup to work; I can get PTT
to work, but I don't hear RTTY tones in "monitor", just a steady tone. I have
tried just about every combination possible without success - including setting
parameters in RTTYrite and in the MMTTY engine that comes with WL.
I understand that I need to set Comm one to 756PROIII, no Poll, 9600 baud, no
Comm PTT (this is the port for Rig Control)
Comm two on the computer is set to radio button checked for CW, Auto, Poll, Yes
on Comm PTT (If I also choose 756PRO3 for this port, then PPT locks up)
The PTT setting is the "all mode PTT" (which worked great before in AFSK).
Any help would be appreciated, I have searched all the archives and googled the
internet but did not discover a solution or documentation (which somewhat
surprises me since I think this is very popular combination of equipment).
Thanks,
Gordon Bousman, N9BHH
