Generally, the digital modes are always in LSB.

That said, you could certainly use USB if you want.  I think the "packet"
switch just selects some different audio filters and input jacks.

On my FT-1000D, I use the RTTY port and button for both packet and rtty
since my TNC has only one output for HF.  It works just fine that way.
