First time using the FT-897 on RTTY. No time prior to contest to do system
tests.

Sound card AFSK level into the DATA jack was too low to drive the FT-897 to full
output above 20M. Fix was to jumper JP4 in the SignaLink SL-1. (The SL-1 was
designed for MIC and SPKR interface; the new SL-1+ is designed for DATA/ACC jack
interface.)


Yaesu FT-897 at 5 watts into a 5-MHz OCF 28-gauge insulated wire stealth antenna
up 40 feet in trees next to I-75 in downtown Atlanta industrial area. SGC SG-237
autotuner. Tigertronics SignaLink SL-1 sound card radio interface. WriteLog
10.44b with RTTYrite. Dell Latitude 650-MHz PIII laptop, WinMe.
