[RTTY] TS2000 and AFSK

You have had two other TS-2000 users tell you that your understanding
is wrong.  I support and distribute one of the most popular digital
interfaces and know how it must be connected to the TS-2000 in order
to work.  After all the units in the field, I can tell you, pin 9
(PKS) select input audio on pin 11 (PKD) and pin 13 (SS) only allows
audio input from the mic connector.

That *will not work* with audio on pin 11.

There are two possibilities: 1) it is possible to plug a 13 pin
DIN plug in *upside down* (rotated 180 degrees) and nothing will
work.  2) the TS-2000 has a *menu setting* to control input level
from Pin 11 - perhaps that is turned down too far.  Check Menu 50B
and make sure it is set to 4 (default).  Also make sure you have
Menu 50F set properly to accept audio from an *external TNC*.  I
Also recommend the 1200 baud settings where they exist.

All of the details are on page 50 or your transceiver's Instruction
Manual (Menu settings are on page 24).
