RTTY | USB and RTTY | LSB are FSK modes - Signalink is an AFSK ONLY
interface. If you expect to use FSK, get a second serial port and
build a two transistor (FSK and PTT) interface as shown in the FSK
transmission section of the WinRTTY section of the WriteLog help
file or the AA5AU web site: http://www.aa5au.com/rttyinterface.html
Making up the necessary interface should not cost more than 10ドル even if
you don't have much of a junk box. If you don't have a second serial
port, dual port PCI or PICe cards are less than 25ドル from places like
www.newegg.com or www.byterunner.com. If you don't have an open bus 
slot, single USB to serial adapters are less than 20ドル and dual port
for less than 30ドル.
