Oh boy, a new toy!  You might also want to try  the MixW software John 
uses, but I think it has a time limit on the trial version, so you might 
want to  wait until you have the interface installed so you can get the 
maximum amount of the free trial.


Have you tried playing the RTTY .wav files?   Download them from the 
MMTTY site and install them.  Then start MMTTY and under the "file" drop 
down menu,  play the .wav file.

A test message will play, and you can hear what RTTY sounds like.   Also 
it will decode in the RX window of the program and you  will have the 
unenviable task of getting your screen reader to  read it to you.

You really need to read all the docs for the software you have, as well 
as the docs for the interface.    The SL comes with a little  Allen 
wrench.     Remove the 4 screws from the front cover and  pull it out, 
the circuit board will also come out.    Note which groove the board is 
installed into, so you can put it back later.    Set the board on a book 
to support it and install the jumper block into the header, then 
reinstall the  board into the case.

Transmitting is going to be the easy part, it's the RX side that is a 
pain.    In Digipan,  select the menu option "use arrows for seek" to 
use the pc's arrow keys to jump to the next signal.     I'm not sure 
what tuning procedures exist in MixW.   For RTTY, I narrow the filters 
and slowly tune across the incoming signal until  JAWS starts speaking 
something that makes sense.    With practice you will be able to dial it 
in pretty close by ear, just listening to the RTTY tones .

Good luck, you have an  adventure ahead.
