Nick, I saw your post and thought I would respond. I was under the
impression that if one used an interface like the Rigblaster etc that
you did not have to use the acutal data connector for digital modes? I
hooked mine up to a rigblaster yesterday evening but was not able to
set the ALC properly (actually I was not able to get any output out at
all ). Perhaps I did not set up the volume and related controls
properly.
Where did you see that the 817 expects ot see the tx audio at the data
connector? Your feedback would be appreciated..
Thanks..

Actually Serge, I deduced this fact from the same problem you had. When
the 817 is in
digital mode, I had no PSK tones coming from the transmitter and no RF
output.
WHen I went back to usb, I had tones. I am using the Nomic with a cable
from the
Nomic to the mic jack and speaker jack to sound card.
After re-reading the book and looking at the pin diagram for the rear
digital connector
I assumed that when in digital mode, it wants audio in that port, not
the mic port.
So, until I get my RJ-45 to mini din cable made, I'll continue to use
the mic jack and
usb.
Someone posed the question in anther email and I hope to see the answer
soon. What are the
benefits of using the rear port and digital modes for PSK over the mic
jack and usb mode?
Hope this helps OM,
