[RTTY] Yaesu FT-920 setup - HELP!!

[k0bx at qsl.net]

Kyle, It seems like you have checked everything.  Here
is a few things to re-check.

Check MMTTY to see if you are setup correctly.
1.  From Option menu, select 'setup mmtty'.
2.  Goto 'TX' tab, goto the PTT Port item.  You have
to have a comport selected and this comport MUST have
both the PTT and FSK wired on the same port.  At least
it must have the FSK port.
3.  Goto 'MISC' tab.  If you were successful in the TX
tab of getting the comport, you will then select the
'COM-TXD' (FSK) item.  If this is greyed out, then you
did something wrong.  You can also select the item
above it, the 'Sound plus the CoM-TXD'.  This way you
can here if the tones are coming in.

I would suggest that you go to the:
http://www.aa5au.com
webpage and go to the area that tell on how to setup
mmtty.  It may help.

I do not know anything about the Yaesu.
