Forgot to mention that the Signalink costs around $110 and comes with an interface pre-wired to your radio. You just need to specify the model of your rig. Also you can order a pre-programmed jumper module for $10 so you don’t have to mess with setting jumper wires. A software disc is also included with drivers for your Signalink. Fldigi is free software and is user friendly. It covers several popular digital operating modes.
By the way, the frequency for most PSK31 activity is on 14.070 USB (20m) as shown on the VFO. There is also a lot of activity on 18.108 USB, which is the 17m band.
You have to be a General Class or better to use PSK31 on 17m and 20m. I think you can use digital modes on the CW part of 10m and 80m with a Technician Class, but I only work digital on 20m.
