        No GPS. An old Kenwood TS440S, has antenna tuner but no external
        digital control. It also has AFSK in and out, as well as a DIN
        connector with everything at one point, date, ptt, mic. mute,
        etc. I plan to use that.

        I would hesitate to send image files to the list, can send to
        your address?

            [root at box9 bobg]# setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0123]
            /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
            /dev/ttyS1, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
            /dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
            /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3


        So /dev/ttyS0 looks good to me ...

        That would probably be an imposition on your time but would
        provide assurance that the function works.

        Additionally I have yet to see transmit audio from the computer
        while running FLDigi, I do get it from psk31lx. I have not had
        keying signals from psk31lx either but have not devoted much
        time to investigating that, it may be a configuration problem
        and I haven't found much documentation in that area.
