Dennis,
FSK won't work unless you have a USB-to-Serial adapter that can be
programmed for 5 data bits and 45 baud. Many (most?) of these devices
do not support this configuration, whereas nearly all COM ports do.

Some of the USB-to-Serial adapters that used to support 5 data bits
have been "upgraded" and no longer work for FSK, so beware. AA5AU
discusses this on his website at http://www.rttycontesting.com/usb
