Clint,
You can't monitor 9600 baud through the normal audio channels. They do not have enough bandwidth, and have too much filtering. Many rigs do have dedicated I/O for the purpose. Likewise, standard packet/PSK31 interfaces will also fail due to lack of bandwidth. You will either need one of the hardware TNCs which do have 9600 baud capability, or you can work with programs like MixW which support it. In either case, you will need direct connections rather than the usual audio transformers. If you don't have the existing capability, it might not be cost/time effective. Sigh.

... If you have 9k6 digital capability, you can listen in on our attempts

I am packet-illiterate. But HRO locally does not have the Yaesu mic cable in stock to interface any of the West Mountain RigBlaster products I could purchase for my Yaesu FT-8800.
How else can I attempt to monitor this? HRO is open four more hours today ...
