Scott,

I would like to hear more about your setup for running FSK.  AFSK was my 
easy way in to running RTTY and other digital modes, but would 
eventually like to move over to FSK.

I enjoy the FT-920 on RTTY using MMTTY, and I use Writelog for contesting.  I like being able to use the DSP and CW filter while using FSK (DATA-LSB).  We are also using the rig control.  The only other digital mode that I've tried with the 920 is BSPK31, and it works fine with TrueTTY.
