Bruce,

Also, make sure once you have it cabled up that you use the DATA mode, 
verify that it's using the correct sideband (USB is typical for JT-65A 
), and select DATA A as the data mode you're using.  I'm not in front of 
my radio but I think you hold "AFX/Enter" key  (its labeled DATA MD in 
yellow) and use the "B" VFO knob to change to DATA A. It defaults to 
AFSK A, which will not work and might confuse you (it sure confused me 
but that's not hard to do).
