[RTTY] Rig Blaster Pro and FSK

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

Bob and Jim,

That customization refers to the RIGblaster Plus - not sure how it compares 
to the Pro. If Bob's attachment didn't survive the reflector, you can

I don't own a RigBlaster but I have looked at their manual and
schematics more than one time. If I recall correctly, you have to move a
(some) jumpers internally to change between CW and FSK keying. This
requires opening the RigBlaster when you want to change modes. In my
opinion, that's quite disappointing from a usability / convenience
standpoint.

The quick term solution is to reconfigure the RigBlaster. There's a
longer term solution though.

Larry, K8UT has written a document how to upgrade the RigBlaster so the
different modes can be used without opening the box and reconfiguring
the jumpers. I have attached a copy of his procedure.
