George,
I'm using a similar setup with an OMNI VI+ and it does FSK fine (although
you have to invert the signal). My guess is when you mention port 4. I
suspect that is some sort of add-on port. Many folks have had problems
sending FSK on all sorts of add-on ports. Try switching it to COM1 or 2 on
the motherboard and see if that works better. You could also put an RS232
monitor (Radio Shack sells them pretty cheap) on the line and see if you can
prove that it is, in fact, keying.
It sounds like I missed a good one - only got on for a half hour Friday
night.

Subject: [WriteLog] Help! FSK and Omni VI
Hi Everyone,
I made up a FSK/CW interface with a couple of 4N33 opto's last Thursday
for the RTTY CQ WW and couldn't get the rig to transmit FSK. I plugged the
CW phono plug into the key jack and opened a CW Contest and it worked FB.
I then plugged the FSK phono plug into the Mark/Space jack, changed the
port to port4, the modem to soundcard fsk, the rig to FSK, and unclicked the
FSK is really LSB on the menu. The rig keys but just sends a continuous
tone, no warbling (yes, I tried alt-k, the f-keys, etc.).
I connected the DB9 pin 3 to Opto pin 1, DB9 pin 2 to opto pin 2, opto pin
5 to phono plug center conductor, and opto pin 4 to phono plug outer
conductor...
Can anyone see where I made my mistake???
I did use Writelog with my soundcard afsk and it worked flawlessly during
the contest...
Thanks,
George / KF9YR
