[RTTY] Rigblaster Pro RTTY Question

[Rich]

The more I think about it, you are correct it should work the way you 
have it setup.

"I used with the old PC and true serial cables for years.
I never used the Mic connector".

This quote caught my attention, are you now using USB to serial converters instead of true com ports?
If either is true then you must make sure whatever software you are using to emulate FSK on the USB/232 converters needs to be set so that CTS,RTS, and DTR need to be providing the correct function.

Is your new PC Win8 or Win10?

If so you must have the newest USB to serial converters the old chipset will not work on Win8 or 10.

This link will help to determine your USB serial adapter chipset.

When I got my WIn8 PC all of my USB serial converters needed to be replaced.
