This is a typical indication that you are trying to use the RTTY
mode of your transceiver instead of LSB for AFSK.  The SignaLink
USB is a *soundcard only* and does not support traditional FSK.

You will need to configure and your transceiver exactly like you
would for PSK31 in order to use AFSK with the Signalink USB.
