What's still not clear is why would I choose one over the other? Operator/User manuals tend not to answer that question, they are understandably focused on exactly how to operate the equipment. I'm very sure that, when I first set up RTTY, I went to AFSK A because I knew what audio frequency shift keying was and I didn't know what DATA A was. It all worked, so I never changed it or tried out the other choice. I guess if AFSK A is LSB and works with MMTTY in its default configuration, then DATA A is USB and I'd have to reverse the tones in MMTTY. I'll leave it as I've been using it, it works so it obviously doesn't need fixing. I was just curious. I have my pitch set at 915 Hz, I can't hear 2,125 Hz.

AFSK A also allows use of the AFSK transmit filter (a tight filter around the Mark/Space tones to eliminate hum/pops/etc.) and the use of the Dual Tone filter on receive. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to li...@subich.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to k...@coldrockshotbrooms.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to d...@nk7z.net __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to pin...@erols.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] Windows Computer for K-line station
OK; I give up. Trying to use a Mac at the station QTH is just too much trouble - too much of the good stuff doesn't come in the Apple flavor. Even the Dell monitor I just bought for the P3 SVGA doesn't come with drivers for Mac OS, which limits some of the tricks the monitor can play. So, advice please - what is the smallest (physically the smallest) Winows-running computer other than a laptop or an all-in-one that would serve well for all of the computer control, logging, and etc. goodies one might reasonably hang on a K-line station? Real estate on my desk is at a real premium, and knee-hole space is even less. (The Dell Inspirion 3000 small format is too big.) Thanks in advance . . .

Re: [Elecraft] Switching between Signalink and other modem.
Mike and all, Part of what you are saying may be correct - BUT, the K3 Line-in and Line Out are NOT for balanced lines. If you have an early K3, there may be inductors in the ground path (and they may still be shown in the schematics). Those inductors were removed in later K3s and the Line-in and Line-out shells are now indeed grounded. Those inductors in the ground path can (and should) be removed (should you have an earlier K3 with them still in circuit). See Improving the Immunity of Rear Panel RS-232 and Audio Connectors to RF at http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/ELECRAFT_Application_Note_Improving_the_Immunity_of_the_Rear-Panel_KIO3_RS232_and_Audio_Connectors_to_RF.pdf. If you are dealing with a later K3 and have such problems with the SignaLink interface, follow Mike's instructions to combine the separate grounds into one bonded ground. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/18/2015 6:36 PM, mpup...@sympatico.ca wrote: ALERT!If you use an ethernet box to switch between a SignalinkUSB box and another modem, you may be in for some surprises.The Tigertronics SignalinkUSB cable SLCABK3 brings out 6 of the wires to the RJ45 connector.

Re: [Elecraft] Windows Computer for K-line station
Ted, I'm sure you know this already, but if you have an Intel-based Mac, you already own the best Windows computer for the money. Buy a copy of whatever flavor of Windows you prefer and use Boot Camp to boot your Mac directly into Windows. It'll run Windows natively, and better than most Windows machines. I know that finding ham stuff for the Mac can be frustrating, but it can be done. I only run Macs in my shack exclusively, and the only reason I ever run Windows on them is when I have to program my HTs. My logging programs, etc. are all OSX programs and free ones at that. I don't venture too far into the esoteric operating-wise, though... Good luck! 73, Scott, N9AA On 3/18/15 7:59 PM, Dauer, Edward wrote: OK; I give up.
