[RTTY] AFSK vs FSK question

[Jerry Flanders]

I would just make the connection from the sound card to the radio and 
then you are set up for all digital modes and even recorded ssb 
macros. I used FSK for years but my present radio does not allow it 
and I find no downside to using AFSK so far. The receiving station 
cannot even tell what mode you are using, so there is no difference 
at all on the receiving end.

I don't think there will be a "struggle" at all. Just set the proper 
audio levels and let it rip.
