[RTTY] I am having a devil of a time...

[Thom]

I want to say that I do appreciate all the comments and suggestions made 
to me regarding getting my Rigexpert TI-8 to key and run FSK on my 
Kenwood TS-570D have all failed.  I suggest that because the TI-5 is a 
discontinued product that all the information and/or software solutions 
do not work on a TI-8.

At this point I am beginning to think that the FSK circuits in my 
TS-570D are simply no longer working.  This is a very old radio and even 
Kenwood has stopped supporting it and no repair parts are available 
either thru them or thru any of their service and parts centers.

The radio will still work fine as a CW radio and I am putting it to that 
task.

I am ordering a cable set for my TS-480 and I will give that a go.

thanks all.
