What goes in the “RS-232 conversion” box depends on your transmitters FSK input. Odds are, it can be exactly the same as the circuit shown for the PTT connect: use an opto-isolator with a series resistor to convert the RS-232 levels to open/close keying. The portion of this circuit related to PTT may also be used instead of the PTT circuit in the JVComm interface described above.Īnother approach to interfacing is contained in the following schematic obtained from WM2U’s home page related to PSK31 and should work for PSK31, RTTY, and SSTV.
So you say “I want FSK capability as well as Push-To-Talk” (PTT). The following circuit is used with WinRtty to provide capability for FSK Rtty and a PTT circuit for the program. This circuit may be used in many applications and may be substituted for the circuit contained in the JVComm interface shown above. The following circuit is used in applications of WinRtty for receiving RTTY signals using the sound card. This circuit is also applicable to SSTV and PSK31 modes and works well in all three applications. This circuit may be implemented into the JVComm interface shown above as discussed in the JVComm interface text. Note that the sound board and receiver are transposed in the two circuits. The above circuit is recommended for use in SSTV applications with use of the sound card with a computer. This is the JVComm style of interface. This circuit may also be used for RTTY and PSK31 applications. Many users modify the above circuit to include 1:1 isolation transformers within the Speaker out and Line-in or microphone in lines. These isolation transformers are used to preclude ground loops within a system from introducing hum and interference on the transmitted signals. Try this URL as a real source to provide ease of headaches when it comes to interfacing:  Dick Stevens, N1RCT. One of the best sources for interfacing both the soundboard and TNC’s is contained on N1RCT’s home page. Dick has done a great job both graphically and via words to describe interfacing. Who needs a collection of interface connections to choose from when having a desire to use the Soundboard in their computer to provide capability for using RTTY, PSK31, and SSTV modes on the amateur bands? Well from my experience the answer is many of us, me included. After a large amount of research I found the following circuits helpful when setting up my own system. If you have problems setting input and output levels to your sound card you should consider a resistive pad in the input or output circuits as shown in following interfaces. Do you need the pad? Well consider my level discussion ( click here). Hope these interface circuits and level discussions are of some value to all. Nothing like ideas you know.
