[TimeWave-AEA] DSP-599zx version 5.0 upgrade

Mon, 14 Jan 2002 20:29:18 -0500

Hi Eric,
The PK-232 has two ports for radios. Id use one for the SSB hookup for AFSK Rtty and PSK31. They use the same connections. I would
then use the other port for FSK but that is optional. AFSK Rtty and PSK with either radio will work. The only trouble with using SSB
to make the tones is that you must be in USB and stuck with whatever filters are available on your radio in that mode.

Depending on your filters you can trick your 756 into thinking it is on CW and use those filters. So FSK isnt needed in that case.
I'm old fashioned and want FSK hi.

TimeWave will make the cables for you but at a price. Make your own and save money.

I am sure others will have their options for you to try as well.
Good Luck,
Bill Marx W2CQ
