I have a number of these transceivers and I use the MicoHAM DigiKeyerII on
RTTY. Using the MicroHAM cables it was basically plug and play for FSK. I
recall having to change one of the RTTY default settings to reverse.
Perhaps it will be easier waiting until the MicroHAM product arrives?

Looking for some insight into RTTY settings for the Mark V. I am trying to
help Corliss AL1G upgrade her RTTY setup, but am unfamiliar with her
radio. She is in Anchorage and I am about 45 road miles away from her QTH
so we are doing this via email and phone calls.

She currently has a Rig Expert Standard as her interface, but is going to
upgrade to a microHAM MKII. She has MMTTY stand alone running and we are
trying to get her new upgraded version of WriteLog to use either the MMTTY
plug in or the XMMT.ocx. She has been following the tips on AA5AU's web
site, but she still is having problems getting the radio to key up in
WriteLog. At this point I am unsure if she is transmitting AFSK or FSK.

I downloaded the manual for the Mark V and scanned through it looking for
subjects that included RTTY, AFSK and FSK. I've discovered that the Mark V
has two jacks on the back of the radio related to RTTY. A 5 pin DIN
labeled PACKET is for AFSK, PSK and other digital modes. A 4 pin DIN is
for FSK. My problem is understanding how you tell if her radio is set to
AFSK or FSK? The manual says to push the RTTY button on the radio to
select either RTTY LSB or RTTY USB. That's it. So is this AFSK or FSK?
Because of the LSB/USB choices it sounds like the radio is going to
transmit AFSK with either of these settings through the PACKET jack. I
can't find anything in the manual that specifically says how to set it to
do FSK. Is there a menu item buried somewhere that has to be tweaked in
order to get it to transmit FSK? Any guidance appreciated.

73,
Gary AL9A
