[1000mp] RTTY

[Mike Brown]

The Rascal by Buck Rogers has a setup where you buy the Rascal (about 50 
bucks I think), then in 1000 MP area (includes Mark V, Field) of cables, you 
can buy a RTTY cable that plugs into the RTTY jack on the back of your rig, 
thus giving you FSK, and you operate by pushing in the RTTY button on the 
front of the rig. You also have a DB 9 that operates the PTT, and 2 cables 
for the sound card. On the original Rig Blaster, I don't see how you could 
run FSK. Maybe on some of the newer, more expensive ones you can. Rascal 
runs about 50 bucks, and another 10 or so for the cable. You have to buy a 
cable anyway for the Rascal, and if you aready are setuup in PSK31 and other 
sound card modes, this gives you FSK, plug and play. Was tied up the weekend 
of Rtty Roundup, which I'm sure was a lot of fun.
