To run AFSK properly on an 990, 1000, 2000 or 5000, you run it in PKT (Packet)
mode, which moves the TX audio input to the back panel, isolating the
microphone, and shifts all the filters and IF for you. You might have to tweak
the RX center frequency from the menus. Dont know about the RBP and such, but
you can key the radio via commands on the CAT port as well. However, I
recommend using a parallel or serial port output if you can because the CAT
port command can be a little slow. VOX works in AFSK (PKT) mode as well, so as
added help with keying, you can enable VOX on the front panel and set the delay
time to zero.

Hi All,
I am trying to get set up for FSK with my FT-1000MP using a Rig Blaster Pro.
It will work in AFSK but then I can't use my good filters and there is also
the issue of overdriving in AFSK. So I want FSK.
Right now it's fine with sound card modes. I see what I need for a cable
for the FSK connection and have the parts.
But from what I am reading the PTT has to come from the serial port to the
RB. Right now the only serial port I have is doing the rig control which I
sure don't want to give up.
I do have 2 USB ports and one goes to my WinKeyer which I could unplug while
using RTTY. And I have a USB to Serial device that works fine for rig
control.
So is my only option to use both the serial port and USB to get rig control
to the MP and PTT to the RB? Can I get the PTT from that USB port via the
adaptor to the RB?
Or is there some easier way to do it.
Thanks,
OK, back in my hole,
