Re: [digitalradio] Linux capable digital interfaces
Since this is for occasional use only, consider using VOX to key the rig. I am doing this on sound card modes successfully using gMFSK. In my experience to date I have had trouble only with RFSM2400, which required me to reduce my VOX delay on the TS-2000 to less than 1/2 second. This is the only sound card program I have used which is TOR. BTW, I use an old Rigblaster M8, still works fine.

Re: [digitalradio] Linux capable digital interfaces
Andu, I connect the computer to my TS-480 directly with no interface on the input and output audio using fldigi with no problems. I can use either the comm port or the usb-rs232 adapter for keying the rig. I have used this setup for psk31, RTTY and pskmail. I think the TS-2000 is similar to the 480 so everything is connected to the DATA din jack.

Re: [digitalradio] Linux capable digital interfaces
Andy, I am using two transformers, 0ne 1:1 ratio, 600 ohms (RX), and another 10 kohms : 600 ohms (TX), plus a TIL111 optocoupler for PTT from COM 1 (should say /dev/ttyS0...) using the RTS line to close the PTT contact thru the optocoupler's transistor. It has worked well with fldigi and gmfsk Maybe something more elaborate could be necesaary for other modes, but as the saying goes, there is nothong more permanent than a temporary solution. My TX attenuator is the 10k:600 ohms transformer. (Scrounging pays off in the long run...) 73, Jose, CO2JA --- Andrew O'Brien wrote: I'm interested in playing around with a few digital mode applications that require linux.
