I thought the b40 has USB with the latest version Allard¡¯s? sketch. I¡¯ve used my bitx40 with wsjtx which needs USB too. Winlink should work for you.?

I am trying to find a way to connect to Winlink with my BitX40.
I
have one of the last Bitx40's shipped, in late November, just before
the ubitx started to arrive.? Another fellow whose name I cannot recall
got one at the same time and had a lot of difficulty getting it going.?
The group here helped him along and over a period of weeks got him up
and running.? Just at the conclusion of that process he reported that he
had that day made successful Winlink connections.? From the context and
timing he would not have converted his BitX 40 to USB.
Does
anybody here know if it is possible to connect to Winlink on lower
sideband?? I've tried WINMOR, ARDOP, and VARA, but no joy.? No RMS
answers my calls.? I have made a number of PSK-31 QSO's between here
(LA) and stations as far away as Washington state, so I know my radio
works.? I decode RTTY and Olivia as well.
I posted this question on the Winlink group and got the school answer, "Winlink requires USB".
I
uptune so as to match 1500Hz center frequencies.? And I uptune 700Hz
more because my BitX isn't calibrated.? Occasionally I get lucky and see
an RMS engaged? in a session and center that signal. I patiently tune
in 100Hz increments.
But still no joy.? Any ideas, other than move on to USB?
Thanks/Dan
