[Icom] IC-746 with PSK 31

[Marsh Parker]

I am using a 746PRO and go through the ACC 1 using the Pro Data Sound 
Card Interface described in the March 2002 QST by AA4PB.  It may be an 
overkill but works fine.  I use it for all of the digital modes 
including Packet on 2 meters. One thing to be careful about is that 
there are different PTT lines when on 2 meters.  Some hams have tied 
them together, but I didn't.   I believe some of the more popular 
products might be a better buy.  I have used the simple interfaces 
described in the help file of Digipan with success as well.  
Going through the ACC 1 allows you also to select the Digital mode on 
the 746PRO for all but SSTV which kills the audio from the mike.
Good luick
