Here is the setup we use at K4RY to operate FSK through the RIGblaster pro using Writelog and the MMTTY plugin. Radio is Kenwood TS-450 First is Wiring: Computer COM 1 - to - port A Computer USB (Com 3) - to - Port B FSK out on Pro - to - ACC2 connector on radio Jumpers in Pro: Port A FSK, PTT, and CW Port B Rig Control W/L "ports" menu: Com 3 Rig Type "Kenwood" and Comm PTT "NO" Rttyrite "port" menu: Check COM 1 RTTY Control Panel "Options - Setup" menu "MISC" tab: select COM-TxD(FSK) USB port processing method set to A-Normal I think that should do it for you. Everything seems to work with these limitations. We have to unplug the CW output from the Pro because W/L uses both DTR and RTS as PTT. I can't seem to figure out how to stop that. Also, I am not sure if ALL of the rig control stuff works as it should. W/L reads the frequency fine and can reset the RIT to 0 through the macro, but I can't click on the band map and set the frequency. I am sure that is just a software setting and is not really relevant to this discussion anyway. If there is anything that I missed that you need, just give me a shout and I will be glad to look at it and report back. 73, Carey / KI4DVI President, K4RY, AUBURN UNIVERSITY ARC
