You need to apply audio to pin 11 and key the radio with pin 9. Pin 13 mutes the pin 11 input.

The manual was not written by a native english speaker.

Can you confirm that you have audio on pin 11? (a scope would be good)

Do you have the mode set to SSB?

As the manual reads, I need to use pin 11 for the AFSK input with pin 13 for
keying. Sure looks that way to me. But, I did try pin 9 again and and still no
modulation even though the radio is keyed.

Anyway, I was using pin 9 with FSK and N1MM and that was working. For
AFSK, it is my understanding that pin 9 will mute the microphone
input on pin 11.
That is incorrect.  Pin 9 PTT mutes the *microphone input* - the mic
jack on the front of the transceiver (Mic jack).  Pin 11 is PKD -
you connect AFSK (or TNC, MCP, etc.) audio there - Pin 9 (PKS) selects
PKD which disables compression and clipping.  *READ THE MANUAL* - see
the description of ACC2 on Page 95.

If Pin 11/Pin 9 work in N1MM Logger and do not work in fldigi, you have
a configuration issue with fldigi and should seek help from those who
know fldigi.  Make sure fldigi is actually triggering the PTT line on
pin 9 and not trying to switch the rig using CAT commands since they
likely to be *wrong* (equivalent to pin 13).

AFSK.

According to the TS2000 manual, I need to key the radio with pin 13 so
that
pin 11 isn't muted on key down.

I've tried both pin 9 and pin 13 with the same result (no AFSK
transmitted).

This should really be asked on the fldigi support forum ...

TS-2000 requires PTT on pin 9 (PKS) when applying audio on pin 11 (PKD).
See the description of those pins on page 94 of the TS-2000 Instruction
Manual.

I believe that I have my PC-to-radio interface cable set up right but I
can't
seem to transmit any audio. The radio is keyed but no transmit audio. I
have
audio to ACC2-11 and my keying is on ACC2-13. I don't see any radio menu
options that would cause an issue. Also, with the microphone attached, I
can
transmit voice when the PC keys the radio so the microphone audio from
ACC2
shouldn't be muted. Receive is working properly though. What am I
missing?
