[TenTec] Paragon RTTY (FSK)

[Vic Klein]

Good thought. I'll have to dig around and see if I can find the KAM manual
and what the Paragon is expecting for a tuned signal. I never had to worry
about that before, it just worked, but back when I got the KAM, computers
were different and nobody used sound card interfaces...everyone used a KAM
or other TNC for an interface. It still works very well, provides a nice
signal tuning indicator, so if I just need to shift the decode tones that
might work.

Vic,
        I can't remember, but does the KAM have settable receive tones?
You may be able to vary them a bit.  The FSK and receive tone settings
are probably not exactly aligned, and changing the RX tones in the TNC
can adjust for that.  You'll probably need help from another ham running
RTTY - especially if he's running a sound card and can give you running
updates so you can zero it in.  If you have never set the RX tones up in
the TNC, make sure whatever it's set to matches the spec for the Paragon
first.  This would be your starting point.
