General discussion forum / Using RTTY with RR and a TS-480
« on: 2016-03-28, 20:57:10 »
Hello to the group.
I have been trying to get my RTTY FSK keying working with my remote rig and TS-480. I am able to receive but am having an issue trying to get it to transmit.
I am using the USB interface on the Control RRC. At the radio RRC I am using the Pad Jack (I have the IO setting to OUT1 mode = Baudot/45 on the Radio RRC).
I am able to key the TS-480 from within MMTTY but only get a carrier signal. I have followed the instruction on pages 96 - 101. I have the IO settings on the Radio RRC set to:
- OUTO Mode to I/O
- OUTO on/off - OFF
- OUT1 Mode to BAUDOT/45
- OUT1 on/off - OFF
-OUT2 Mode to KEYER
-OUT2 on/off - OFF
In the MMTTY - TX TAB I have COM8 (my COM Extra port number) and in the MISC tab I have COM-TxD(FSK) selected. I also have the USB Port setting set to C:Limiting Speed
I am able to key the TS-480 but only get a steady carrier.
I assume that I do not require any additional connections to the Control RRC if I am using the USB interface to the computer. As far as the Radio RRC is concerned, since I have selected Baudot/45 for OUT1 this should enable the radio to transmit FSK using the ring of the PAD jack of the Radio RRC.
Not quite sure why I do not hear the RTTY when I key the transceiver from within MMTTY.
Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
