[RTTY] FT-920 and SignaLink

Tue Aug 16 17:18:15 PDT 2011

I'm getting my RTTY house in order and need some help.

Ham radio is a hobby of joy and great pleasure for me - with the distinct exception of configuring computers and radios to do RTTY.  Complete medieval torture. 

So...I have SignaLink USB unit.  It's supposed to work with a Yaesu FT-920 in the Data-LSB mode. When I transmit with MMTY, the radio keys and stays keyed. I hear diddles from USB unit but the radio itself is just transmitting an empty carrier.

Please point out on the obviousness of my mistake!
