I'm using FSK with a RigBlaster Plus on an FT1000MP.

I'm running a cable from the RigBlaster Plus to the RTTY jack on the 
MP and it works like a champ (I also have another cable going to the 
key jack for CW). The received audio from the radio comes out of the 
AF Out jack in the back and goes straight to the sound card - the 
RigBlaster is not connected to that at all.

I don't remember now (it's been a while since I set this up) but IIRC 
I couldn't do what I wanted using a RigBlaster, it had to be a 
RigBlaster Plus or better. I do know that I had to add another switch 
in the side of the RigBlaster Plus to switch one of the jumpers in 
and out so I could use it for both CW and RTTY.

Hope this helps. If you have any more questions about how I wired it 
up, feel free to ask - I'll be able to provide more details this 
evening when I'm home to look at it...:-)
