[1000mp] RTTY help Mark-5/RTTY

[Dick White]

I have been doing RTTY in the AFSK mode. Set up is Mark-5 Field with the
RigBlaster Plus interface. I have all the CW INRAD filters and the INRAD
Roofing filter, but no SSB filters. W1TO has been encouraging me to switch
to FSK. He has been a great help with my problems.

Am I correct that I can use the CW filters with FSK? This would save me
buying SSB filters.

I am not sure how to connect the RigBlaster to the RTTY plug on the Mark-5.
I have the supplied plug, but not sure how to make a cable between M5 and RB
and how connected to the RB.

If I go FSK, will I be able to use my PSK31 programs without making
connection changes ?  I use MixW and DigiPan for PSK.

If I continue to use AFSK, what filters are recommended in the two SSB slots
I have left? The 1.8 is as narrow as INRAD shows in their catalog.  Will a
CW 500 Hz work in the 3rd IF slot along with the 1.8 ?

These may be dumb questions to some of you. But, I am not a techie and I am
somewhat confused and want to be sure before I do anything. I went to AFSK
because it was easy to set up and I was not sure how to connect the Mark-5
and RigBlaster for FSK.
