[K4RY] Digital Modes now working (sort of)

[Remington Harrison]

Hi everyone, 
Glad to announce that I got fldigi talking to and receiving from the radio this evening. Made two contacts, W1AW/0 and VE3FAL, within minutes of getting it to work. Some notes on working the setup:
1) All the rigblaster is used for at the moment is pretty much a headphone splitter from the radio sound output to the computer speakers and computer sound card (which, BTW, is an external USB card I brought in because the audio is messed up on all of the user accounts. You have to use the guest account where the sound config isn't messed up. Someone with more Linux know how and sudo rights pls fix this)
2) the radio is keyed using the VOX function on the front panel (right under the power button). Make sure this is turned on when doing digital and off when doing SSB. If I got fldigi to talk to the serial port and had a cable you could key the rigblaster using that, but this works for now.
3) Don't turn the audio gain up on the radio too far, use the computer speakers if you need volume increase. My little USB soundcard is supposed to be mic level in instead of line in, but it seems to work fine as is.

Do we have an SSTV program on the hamshack computer? I didn't see one listed and I'd like to work that mode sometime.
