Hi Bernie, Thanks for the info Does the transformer have to be a 600 ohm, I have some junk boards here I may be able to scrounge a few from, but not sure of their value. And yes I could use one of them 4N35's I would gladly pay you for it. The schematic you refered me to was one I was looking at. The radio is very stable after about 45 min. I allready have the line in to the computer set up and using digipan.

The above circuit should work on your FT-101. The important thing is that the rig should not drift. While a jump of 50 Hz is OK on SSB, it will cause loss of signal on digital. You will be able to spot a drifting problem by watching the signals on the waterfall. I can send you a 4N35 if you can't source one locally; I'm fairly certain I have some spares. Radio Shack used to have 1:1 600 ohm transformers but I don't know if they still carry these anymore. Good luck and join the fun on digital. 73, Bernie ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 7:18 AM Subject: [digitalradio] PSK and Yeasu ft-101 Hi Gang! I am fairly new here to this group and have been reading some of the posts. I would like to know if anyone here is using a older rig like mine, a Yaesu FT-101 Z and running PSK31 mode, and what kind of interface they are using. I have seen several schematics for homemade interfaces and am unsure which would be the best to use, I have a 1.8 GHZ computer and a sound card in it.
