I have gone this free and easy route and commend Dave for creating it.
Build your own interface for less than $5, run FSK RTTY on WinWarbler with
the MMTTY Engine, even print your own QSL labels on DXKeeper with a couple
clicks. Why pay big bucks for commercial boxes? (Contesters may want a
faster logger; they are available free, too).

Welcome back, Tom.
As several posters have mentioned, MMTTY is an excellent and free RTTY
application. It provides minimal logging and transceiver control
capabilities: with the appropriate connection between your 1000 MP and a
serial port on your PC (or a USB-to-serial-port adaptor), MMTTY will track
your transceiver's frequency, and record information about each QSO in a log
file.
WinWarbler is a free digital mode application that uses MMTTY as it's "RTTY
engine". WinWarbler is a component of the free DXLab Suite, which includes
full transceiver control and logging, with award tracking, award submission,
QSL card/label generation, etc. To learn more about DXLab, see
