Dohn, Goggle on RTTY and you will find lots of links. http://www.dxzone.com/catalog/Software/RTTY/ has a listing of several programs that are usable for RTTY.
The soundcard/computer connections are the same as that used for PSK31, and can be either a simple set of connections or be rather complex. http://www.psk31.com/Hook_it_Up/hook_it_up.htm has links to several articles dealing with the interfacing - http://www.qsl.net/wm2u/psk31.html shows interface techniques ranging from super-simple to medium complexity. I recommend salvaging a couple transformers from defunct PC modems to use in the lines to the soundcard and either a transistor or optoisolator to detect the serial port RTS (or DTR) signal for keying the transceiver. The optoisolator allows the computer and transceiver grounds to be separated. The mechanical/electrical connections between your computer, proset and the transceiver are of your own choosing - there are many combinations that will work, I prefer to use a switch between the soundcard interface and the mic/headphones and I have built that into my soundcard interface box (my mic plugs into the interface box, but that is my choice). 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Is it correct to assume that you must make up two jumpers in order to > connect RTTY? 1.
