This is obvious and I am sure you did it, but, did you reset the =
Rigblaster jumpers for a Yaesu radio?

  Thanks to all who offered advice so far about my
  problem with the FT100D and interfacing it to my
  rigblaster.  Here is what is currently going on:

  1. The rig is set in USB mode, and being fed through
  the rear data in connector.  The wiring seems OK as
  the PTT is closing, and a signal is going out

  2. I have the soundcard out level set at minimum.=20
  With my TS2000 and Icom 746 which I had before it was
  set near maximum.

  3. When I adjust the AFSK level on the menus, it has
  to be about 35.  Any less, and there is no power
  output, I have confirmed it with a wattmeter.

  4. At the 35 level as in #3, the ALC reading is about
  maximum on the meter.  Cannot lower the soundcard
  level anymore, and it is line out, not speaker line.

  5. Completely puzzled as to what to do next.  Only
  other possibility is that RF is getting back into
  something screwing it up.  never had that problem
  before.  The packet cable came from yaesu and I think
  it is shielded.  It connects to a radio shack line
  which I don't think is shielded.  The line to the
  audio in for the computer is shielded, except where it
  is soldered to the packet cable.  I ran a similar
  setup with my TS2000 with no problem.

  You can see my frustration!  The FT100D is my only
  radio, and am not sure I want to give up digital
  modes, but it appears to be coming to that!=20
  Especially don't want to lose WSJT for weak signal and
  JT44, but I don't know what else to do.  I cannot get
  this set up to work.  And it was so easy with my other
  two radios.  Beginning to wonder if I made a mistake
  getting this radio, and am seriously thinking about
  selling it and getting another that will work with my
  Rigblaster.  I really like the FT100D except for this
  problem, and it is driving me crazy.

  Any Advice?
