RASCAL model   R-IC13RY
(wired and tested only!)

This RASCAL �� is not a kit.  It has all the features of the other RASCAL�� PSK31, SSTV etc Interfaces, however, this RASCAL�� has an added TxData circuit that enables the use of FSK.  By using this RASCAL�� interface and a program like MMTTY, you are able to use the FSK feature built into your ICOM 706 and IC 718 for RTTY.  The advantage of FSK over AFSK, is the use of the radio's built-in narrow FSK & CW filters.  Some transceivers do not enable use of these filters in the LSB or USB modes.   When radios that do not permit the filters to be used on LSB mode, RTTY only can operate using the sometimes distorted and noisy (AFSK) sound that comes from the PC sound card.  The FSK and CW filters operate within the IF if the transceiver and therefore are able to shape the bandpass for a cleaner and superior processed signal.

ICOM Models:  IC-706 (G MKII) and IC-718, and Icom transceivers with similar 13 pin DIN data I/O jacks.

RASCAL model   R-KW13RY
(wired and tested only!)

This RASCAL �� is not a kit.  It has all the features of the other RASCAL�� PSK31, SSTV etc Interfaces, however, this RASCAL�� has an added TxData circuit that enables the use of FSK.  By using this RASCAL�� interface and a program like MMTTY, you are able to use the FSK feature built into your Kenwood for RTTY.  The advantage of FSK over AFSK, is the use of the radio's built-in narrow FSK & CW filters.  Some transceivers do not enable use of these filters in the LSB or USB modes.   When radios that do not permit the filters to be used on LSB mode, RTTY only can operate using the sometimes distorted and noisy (AFSK) sound that comes from the PC sound card.  The FSK and CW filters operate within the IF if the transceiver and therefore are able to shape the bandpass for a cleaner and superior processed signal.

KENWOOD Models:  TS-450, TS-570, TS-690, etc, and Kenwood transceivers with similar 13 pin DIN data I/O jacks. If your Kenwood is not one of those listed, check your manual and verify that your Kenwood has FSK input at pin 2 of the 13 pin DIN.

(wired and tested only!)

This RASCAL �� is not a kit.  for the YAESU FT-990 Transceivers PSK31/SSTV with FSK optionIt has all the features of the other RASCAL�� PSK31, SSTV etc Interfaces, however, this RASCAL�� has an added TxData circuit that enables the use of FSK.  By using this RASCAL�� interface and a program like MMTTY, you are able to use the FSK feature built into your FT-990 or 1000MP for RTTY.  The advantage of FSK over AFSK, is the use of the radio's built-in narrow FSK & CW filters.  Some transceivers do not enable use of these filters in the LSB or USB modes.   When radios that do not permit the filters to be used on LSB mode, RTTY only can operate using the sometimes distorted and noisy (AFSK) sound that comes from the PC sound card.  The FSK and CW filters operate within the IF if the transceiver and therefore are able to shape the bandpass for a cleaner and superior processed signal.  This interface utilizes transformer coupling between the PC  Sound Card line in/line out, and your transceiver.  Automatic PTT is via serial comport and software control.   This RASCAL interface enables the use of both upper and lower sideband operation !

The Adapters below enable the user of one model ''RASCAL'' to mate to another make/model transceiver.  Some models are not adapter compatible, as the ''RASCAL'' may employ "incompatible" matching transformers. Most all accessory jack Input/Output (I/O) ''RASCAL'' interfaces may be adapted to a different (make/model) transceiver "accessory" jack.  Watch this page as we will be adding more ''RASCAL'' adapters weekly.
