Dick,
Signalink has a 3.5mm jack connected in parallel with the audio input.
Connect a 3.5mm to 2.5mm stereo audio cable from the "AF Out" jack on
your MK V to that jack ... it will provide an alternate source of the
fixed level (Main and Sub Rx in stereo but Signalink will ignore the
sub RX audio). If you can then receive RTTY, it will indicate that
the Audi out on your RTTY jack is bad (or the level pot is turned down
too far). If you can't receive anything using the alternate connection
the problem will be in the Signalink or your windows configuration.
73,
... Joe, W4TV
