- Hello folks, I'm trying to build up the interface listed at the bottom of http://www.aa5au.com/rttyinterface.html#PNP_Transistor_FSK_Circuit using a PNP transistor. I'm using generic PNP transistors

- Hi Alfred: I suspect your problem there is with the transistor. Not that it is bad necessarily, but mis-wired. Transistors come in a variety of pin configurations and it is real easy to get it wrong.

- Al, A USB to Serial converter is a hit-or-mis proposition. Many of them do not provide enough current on the control signals to drive a transistor. If you have a 'real' COM port to make the connectio

- Al, If the circuit worked using an NPN transistor, then using a PNP requires inverted polarity on the keying line. So, I have some suggestions: 1. Verify that your FSK keying line still works by manu

- The kenwood TS-940 uses a reverse FSK from everyone else. In my TS-850 there was a menu setting to reverse the FSK. I am not sure of the TS-940 but I think it had it. There is some writeups on FSK an

- The FSK polarity in the Omni V and VI were "correct." In their "normal" setting, the Yaesu transceivers I have used are also "reversed." But the Yaesus have a way to change the transmit FSK polarity
