OK, just to make sure. The FSK signal on the ACC connector goes to pin 1,
the PTT signal goes to pin 4 and the ground connection goes to pin 5. From
your description I am not sure how you have everything wired. I use a box I
made years ago that has the 15 pin connectors like the Y-box and 9 pin
connectors for 2 serial ports with transistor switches for FSK and PTT.
(Have been using this for years longer than the Y-box has been around. My
WinKeyer is also old and doesn't do RTTY, but then I don't need it to. This
is used on my K3, but the connector is the same of course.
