Tom,

I am not directly familiar with the TS940, but if it's like some other 
older Kenwoods, FSK keying is not done using the ACC2 connector. On my 
TS850, ACC2 does have pins for PTT, for receive audio, and for transmit 
audio you can use for AFSK, but there is no pin in ACC2 for FSK keying. 
There is a separate RCA phono jack on the back panel labelled RTTY. If your 
radio is like mine, you have to take the FSK keying signal from the 
Rigblaster Pro and connect it to this RTTY jack, otherwise in FSK mode you 
will only get a steady carrier.
