[RTTY] Help with 1000MP

[k3mm at verizon.net]

 To run AFSK properly on an 990, 1000, 2000 or 5000, you run it in PKT (Packet) mode, which moves the TX audio input to the back panel, isolating the microphone, and shifts all the filters and IF for you.  You might have to tweak the RX center frequency from the menus.  Dont know about the RBP and such, but you can key the radio via commands on the CAT port as well.  However, I recommend using a parallel or serial port output if you can because the CAT port command can be a little slow.  VOX works in AFSK (PKT) mode as well, so as added help with keying, you can enable VOX on the front panel and set the delay time to zero.

Hi All,

I am trying to get set up for FSK with my FT-1000MP using a Rig Blaster Pro. 
It will work in AFSK but then I can't use my good filters and there is also 
the issue of overdriving in AFSK. So I want FSK.

Right now it's fine with sound card modes. I see what I need for a cable 
for the FSK connection and have the parts.

But from what I am reading the PTT has to come from the serial port to the 
RB. Right now the only serial port I have is doing the rig control which I 
sure don't want to give up.

I do have 2 USB ports and one goes to my WinKeyer which I could unplug while 
using RTTY. And I have a USB to Serial device that works fine for rig 
control.

So is my only option to use both the serial port and USB to get rig control 
to the MP and PTT to the RB? Can I get the PTT from that USB port via the 
adaptor to the RB?

Or is there some easier way to do it.

Thanks,

OK, back in my hole,
