Relative newbie here to DXL/WW/7610/RTTY.
Have been using this combo for about 18 months and slowly
developing modest competence with a small subset of overall
capabilities. Have had digital modes (WSJT-X/JTAlert/PSK31/RTTY)
working well with AFSK for some time using USB cable only. ?Now
trying to get RTTY FSK working. Basic question: ?The
official DXL documentation seems to indicate that a cable with a
USB to serial converter is needed to use FSK. Other posters have
implied (without providing details) that all can be done with
just a USB cable. I have spent quite a bit of time reviewing
posts here and on the 7610 forum and haven¡¯t yet found a
comprehensive guide to cabling and configuration info for this
set up. Two basic questions before spending more time on this:
1.?????? Can
this be done (single USB cable, no USB to serial converter)?
2.?????? If
so, is there a source of detailed, comprehensive info on setup
of this configuration which covers setup options for
7610/WW/MMTTY/EXTFSK and any other setup requirements? Link
appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,
I don't have an IC-7610, but looking at the advanced manual I see
you can assign the FSK keying input to any of RTS or DTR on either
virtual COM port that you get when you connect with a USB cable
with the required drivers. So that means any RTTY application that
can key either of RTS or DTR can send FSK RTTY on the IC-7610,
which probably means they all can.
