[digitalradio] FT-920 Setup for RTTY ???
Hello, When using the data din plug in the back I have no problem with PSK. But, RTTY is being a little more difficult to setup. On the radio does everyone use Data USB for all bands? In your software program do you set it for AFSK or FSK? USB or LSB? Do you use a Mark offset and if so how much? I have the settings in MTTY set to the same as a friend who also has the FT-920 and RTTY is working great for him. The only question I have about these settings is the Misc, Soundcard Device ID setting. I haven't tried other setting that what by friend uses. Could this be where the problem is? I am using the DXLab program WinWarbler. I have to check the Reverse to be able to receive. The program controls the transmitter without any problem but I can't seem to make any contacts. Anyone have any ideas on what I should try next? THANKS, Dave N0EOP
Re: [digitalradio] FT-920 Setup for RTTY ???
Usually, LSB is used for RTTY and USB for all other digital modes. Ssince you have your radio set for Data USB , I assume this is why you have to used reverse to receive RTTY. I can't comment about FSK versus AFSK since I am not familar with your radio. For my radio, I have Windwarbler set for AFSK, LSB.

So RTTY normally uses LSB, while PSK uses USB? What do you have the xvr mode set too? Do you have any mark offset? Is your Optimal Offset 2210? So far I really like the DXLabs suite. Which of the programs do you use? What do you find the most useful? TNX 73, Dave N0EOP

In Winwarbler I have the xcrv mode set to AFSK since my old radio does not do true FSK. I use the default offset which is 2210. I use Multipsk and sometimes Winwarbler for RTTY. Andy K3UK
RE: [digitalradio] FT-920 Setup for RTTY ???
Thanks for all of the assistance. I went back and reread the FT-920 manual (novel idea)! When you use the data plug on the back of the FT-920 you set the mode to data USB for both PSK and for RTTY. Then through the menu you have to change the factory default for the shift for the AFSK. This actually causes the radio to use LSB for RTTY like everyone was saying. But the display panel shows data USB. Then I went in and set the WinWarbler config for RRTY to AFSK USB RTTY no Mark Offset and the default value of 2210 for the Optimal Offset. I called CQ 3 times and V44JK responded. So, again THANKS for all of the ideas. Even though no one knew for sure since no one had the same exact setup and WinWarbler, all of your ideas got me to thinking in the right directions. TNX 73, Dave N0EOP
