[TenTec] RTTY on the Omni VI

[Mike]

Whilst for some ops the custom built interfaces are very convenient, I have 
used very basic compnents to interface my Paragon, Pegasus and other rigs 
with great success.  You do need to monitor the drive level very 
carefully.......  Hi!

An attenuator into the mic socket is just a couple of resistors.

PTT, now via a serial/usb converter is a single transistor.

Plenty of basic info on, for example, some of the PSK web sites.
