Hi Again

The help file for RTTY is all I used and you do need 2 comm ports for FSK.
The second port just goes directly to the RTTY rca jack on the 850 for FSK
keying the rest is exactly as in the help file. 2 audio transformers to the
soundcard and an optoisolator for PTT. Works great.

I saw info on the Rigblaster option in the archive and checked out
their website. It is a very nice solution, but it also is quite
expensive. Wondering if anyone else has a less expensive solution? Has
anyone made the cables for the 850, or do I need to get a Rigblaster.
Doesn't the Rigblaster use a Com port. I used my one and only Com port
on the laptop for the IF-232c box. I can get another Com port thru the
USB port to a COM port converter but those are expensive. Do I need
another COM port?

Sorry for so many questions,
Can't wait to start using WriteLog,
Thanks for your help,
Kent
