Dennis,

The Pro2 does require FSK keying if you are going to use the RTTY mode. 
Otherwise, if you only have AFSK you must use LSB-D mode, change one of 
your filters to cover the proper rtty tones and of course tell Writelog 
that LSB is really FSK

It does work - this is sitting on my left as I type but it takes two serial 
ports.
