[Kenwood] TS850S, rig control, & FSK setup question

Wed, 09 Jul 2003 20:37:12 -0400

Hi all,

Need some help in setting up my TS850S for FSK operation and rig control.
I have read so much I am confused.  I didn't see anything in my old reflector
files.

Have the following and trying to put together an operational station for a 
trip.
TS850S now with the PIEXX IC232 interface
A Rigblaster Pro control box.
A Dell Ispiron 7000 laptop with one serial port.

I was under the impression that with the single serial port I could do
rig control, cw, and fsk using a pass thru serial connection on the Rigblaster.
I can do rig control fine with the PIEXX connected to the TS850S and the 
computer.

Using two log programs here. One is YPlog which I have been using for 
awhile and
the other is Writelog.  Both seem to be operational fine.  Will be using 
MMTTY for
RTTY and want to use FSK not AFSK.  AFSK works fine thru the sound card.

Can't seem to get the whole system to operate together as a group and do 
rig control,
FSK, and CW.   Seems to be a software setup problem somehow.

Any comments/suggestions would be most appreciated.

PS: Will post a run down on the results of this including the battery 
change when
I get the system operational.  (Optimistic)
