I use my FT-817 on PSK31. The software that I use is DigiPan v. 1.6,
which is sound card based. My interface is homebrew, based on the
documentation provided with DigiPan, and is basically two audio patch
cables plus a 2N2222 keying transistor driven from the COM port. I
connect directly to the 6-pin mini-DIN jack on the rig for audio in,
audio out, and keying. I run the '817 in the DIGital mode, and have
the digital menu selection set to PSK-U (upper sideband).
I run the software on a Toshiba laptop. Everything works fine, and
the only operational adjustment required is the laptop audio output
volume, which I adjust for two or three bars on the ALC display. The
only problem I have encountered is RF getting into the computer via
the mouse, which I solved by winding the mouse cord throug a big
toroid three or four times.
Please let me know if you need additional information.

Hello everyone.
I would like to hear from anyone who has been able to hook the 817
up
to a Sound Card RTTY program. I would like to use the 817 and my
laptop in my travels. The software I plan to use is MMTTY.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
