For RTTY I much prefer using RUMlog.
I have it set to use the K3 for transmit (FSK-D) and CCM for receive.
Works great and, of course, since you are using the internal RTTY screen from
RUMlog it is nicely integrated with the log and since it's FSK-D you can use
your serial connection

Hello RC,
I am not sure exactly what your question is, but I will offer some information
that
may be of interest to you. I currently use a K3 here at home for all my 6m EME
operations (all of which use JT65A mode from the most recent WSJT software

IIRC, when I installed mine I had to touch up the offsets a bit to get good
audio. Now it sounds good transmit and receive. Got the counter out and
touched up the HF freq, then did the 2 meter. Keyed up into dummy load and
dialed in the frequency that was on the display by changing the offset.
I really do like RumLog. The only shortcoming I see so far is lack of
rotor control, and Thomas isn't going to consider it. It's **SUCH** a
chore to reach up and press the direction bar on the rotor box.
Are you using it with an interface? You can't do FsK D with just the
sound card right?
My bench voltage is 14 volts and battery is measured at 12.4 VDC
Tried a new and better dummy load and got 3watts on both bands with bench
