I don't own a RigBlaster but I have looked at their manual and schematics more than one time. If I recall correctly, you have to move a (some) jumpers internally to change between CW and FSK keying. This requires opening the RigBlaster when you want to change modes. In my opinion, that's quite disappointing from a usability / convenience standpoint.

The quick term solution is to reconfigure the RigBlaster. There's a longer term solution though.

Larry, K8UT has written a document how to upgrade the RigBlaster so the different modes can be used without opening the box and reconfiguring the jumpers. I have attached a copy of his procedure.

I am trying to help a friend with this problem.

The problem is that when FSK TX there is only one tone!

Using a Rig Blaster Pro with a regular serial port connection (COM4).
FT-950, WriteLog v10.76H and MMTTY.  Windows 7

This setup uses the same comport for both FSK and CW.  I disabled
the CW port in lieu of FSK.  So there should not be a conflict.

The rig is on COM3 and appears to be working fine.  However I did
notice that on the PORT menu everytime we tried to change the
COMM PTT to "NO" it would change back to "YES"

I really am not familiar with the equipment and what makes matter
worst is that my friend is 100 miles away.  So we are trying to trouble
shoot over the telephone.

This was a working setup last year

Does anyone have any suggestion(s), maybe something that might
stick out to you?

Thanks for any help offered.
