[RTTY] Guess I have been away longer than I thought. +the Signalink USB

[Thom Durfee]

Tigertronics makes the Signalink USB and their documentation states 
their interface does not support true FSK keying otherwise I would use it.

I may experiment sometime with a direct FSK keying using a USB port if I 
can figure out how to do that.  I am so used to having serial com ports 
but I have not owned a computer that has them for many years.  USB still 
baffles me somewhat.

Thanks for all the comments.

Got my antenna mast up between the rain drops.
