Don, Chen et al.

This is very true of the MP line. I am not sure how
that would translate to the Kenwood and Icom and other
Yaesu users lives but it may very well do so. I have a
Rigblaster Pro now so I have FSK, CW and AFSK in one
box and going into the FSK port just made sense to me
at the time I got it. Before I got the pro I went with
the mic jack and alas no filter selection other than
my 1.9 SSB. Of course this was all pre MP with a 746
and a Rigblaster. No packet jack from what I can
remember. I made the leap to FSK for the filters and
to quit jacking with audio levels after jamming to
some good music.

Chen you amaze me with all you do to make your RTTY
perfect. More than my sloth like self is willing to
do. :-)
