[1000mp] Getting ready for PSK-31, and a filter question

[Rich McGee]

I went into my local HRO last weekend, ready to build/buy an interface
to enable PSK-31. But the "droid" behind the counter said noone in their
shop had ever used that mode (!) and he had no idea. So, naturally,
I'm turning to the list here for help.

Can I just route the AF (fixed gain) audio out to my PC sound card,
or do I need one of those isolator/interface boxes, like a
"Rigblaster"?

Also, I want to buy a filter for SSB, but I've never ever been
exposed to a rig which supported filtering, much less offering
you a choice! So where should I look to begin? Eventually, I plan
of getting them all, but, for now, I can afford just one (And
I know, I know, but I want a Yaesu filter, not the Inrad model. I'm
just not comfortable making mods to the rig which involve snipping
wires).

Thanks!
