Hi Barrie:

Well you caught me on a break with the TN QSO Party and I'm going all RTTY.
One of my two radios is the Mark V. I had also the RG Plus and Pro at one
time. The RB Pro is quite easy to wire up for FSK RTTY - it has its own plug
just for FSK. The Mark V uses the old 4-pin MIDI plug of y'ore. You only
need to wire two pins on this plug - shift and GND - that's pins 1 and 4.
Also you'll need to set menu 6-1 to reverse on the Mk V with the RB Pro in
line. 

The normal transmit line in the RB Pro is the TxD line, as I recall. Just
select RTTY on the front panel of your Mk V and fire up MMTTY. In the setup
menu on the TX tab, you'll need to enter the Com port of your RB. On the
Misc tab, select either com + TxD(FSK) or Sound + Com-TxD(FSK). Click OK and
then see if you get diddles when you click TX. Oh yes, you need to engage
the MONI button on your Mk V to be able to hear your own diddles ! :)

73, Jamie

I've decided to try RTTY. So far I'm clueless!

I've run JT-65 for EME quite a bit in the past, but not recently.

I have a FT-1000 MKV which has a socket in the back for RTTY. I also have
the plug.

I was thinking of using the Rigblaster Pro as the interface.

I'm at a lose as to how to wire the Rigblaster up if I use the RTTY outlet
in the back of the FT-1000 MKV. I

Any MKV users out there that can help?

TIA & 73, Barrie, W7ALW
