John, a more accurate answer to your question might be, No, because the
RTTY window only sends and receives character data. It was supposed to be
used with a hardware TNC, such as a KAM, which does the encoding and
decoding work. I use the window that way.
The alternative method is to use a software package, such as MMTTY or MixW,
to do the sound-to-digital and vice-versa conversions. Then the RTTY window
is not used, since those packages have their own windows. The newest
version of DX4WIN has integrated support for MMTTY, I am told.
Larry, I would be interested in your jumper settings and connections for
your setup --please post them.

RigBlasterPro, TS-870, KAM+, Rotor control, etc.

John,
I use the RIGblaster Plus with an Icom 756 ProIII, DX4Win 7.01, MMTY in FSK,
and a WaveNode wattmeter (LPT port interface). I operate phone, CW, RTTY,
and PSK modes, and it works well _AFTER_ spending a lot of time messing
around with the internal jumpers. I can switch between modes instantly
without any reconfiguration or switch flipping -- accomplished only by using
2 serial and two parallel ports.
- first serial port for rig control
- second serial port for MMTTY transmit control
- first parallel LPT port for rotor control
- second parallel port for CW keying and Wavenode wattmeter interface
If you decide to go with a RIGblaster Plus, let me know -- I'd be happy to
share the document I wrote that describes the correct settings in the RB
Plus. (( I do not know if those would translate into equal success with a
straight RIGblaster))
