And with this setup you get consistent PSK31 QSO's? I tried and never
got an answer to any CQ's. The ALC was
running 3 to 4 bars on the meter. Tones sounded good on transmit.

Any other tips appreciated....

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.

I am using a RIGblaster nomic for my FT-817 to sound card interface.
I use the FT-817's rear panel DATA connector rather than the MIC
connector.

The RIBblaster manuals are very explicit and the nomic manual is
available in PDF format from


The software I use at present is the demo version of MixW. MixW has
many modes including RTTY. I have not used MMTTY but no doubt it
would work fine with the same setup.

I operate MFSK16 and PSK31 mostly but have also operated a bit of
RTTY. There is no doubt the digital modes are great for QRP.

Hope this helps some.
