Jim, The Belkin converter mentioned in the MMTTY Help file appears to be the only one that will work without the EXTFSK add-on, and according to anecdotal reports this Belkin converter does not work at all under Windows XP or newer. However, almost any USB-to-serial adapter should work with EXTFSK; at least, any USB-to-serial adapter that will work for serial port CW and/or PTT will also work for FSK using EXTFSK. One setting you will probably need to adjust in MMTTY is in the Setup MMTTY window under the Misc tab. If you are using FSK and have either the second or third radio button under Tx Port selected, you will see a button labelled "USB Port". You should click on this button and select option C. Limiting speed. If you leave the default selection A. Normal selected, it is likely that you will find that the PTT line switches back to RX before all of the characters have been sent, truncating your message buffers. 73, Rich VE3KI _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
