[Dx4win] RE: [Yaesu] AFSK RTTY with KAM

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

John, 

You are not doing anything wrong.  The Yaesu transceivers operate 
AFSK/PSK in PKT mode and FSK in RTTY. 

If you want to use the RTTY mode setting on the Mark-V you need 
to connect the FSK signal (Pin 5 of the 8 Pin DIN) and Ground 
(Pin 2 of the 8 Pin DIN) to pins 1 and 4 respectively of the 
4 Pin RTTY input of the Mark V.
