[WriteLog] LSB is really FSK, and Entrgra Serial Hub issues

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Don et al,

LSB is really FSK... is only used when you use AFSK for RTTY.
In some cases, some radios need to be in the LSB mode to operate
AFSK when audio is sent from a TNC or sound card to the audio input
(or mic input) of a transmitter to send RTTY.

LSB is really FSK... needs to be checked when running AFSK and
your radio is in LSB.  If this is not checked, WriteLog thinks you are
running a SSB contest and will try to send a .wav file.  By checking
LSB is really FSK... then WriteLog knows to send the contents of the
buffer as set up for RTTY.  That is all it's meant to do (I think).  If it
changes the mode of your transceiver, that's something new to me.

If you want to run SSB, do not check LSB is really FSK...  By the way,
LSB is the standard for running AFSK on RTTY.  Some may argue 
that AFSK is for VHF only.  Well, in today's HF digital world, AFSK
means to you are sending audio to your radio and the audio shifts mark
and space.  FSK is when you send on/off keying to your radio and your
radio does the frequency shift keying unless, of course, you are using 
a Yaesu radio, then everything goes out the window. 

Hope this helps.
