[WriteLog] Serial Card Question

[Jerry Pixton]

Bob,

Please look at the Writelog help file under Winrtty, where you will find a 
section called Transmit connections-FSK. Notice the source of the 
transmitter fsk in. Also if you use MMTTY, please look in its manual under 
FSK Hardware Setup. There are at least two examples of TxD being used for 
FSK keying. I don't have a RigBlaster so I can't comment on your wiring.
