Hi Joel, It sounds like you have phones plugged in somewhere. The traditional way of wiring rigs is that plugging in phones mutes the speaker (usually they're powered from the same output stage). The K3 has separate output stages for spkr and cans, and the switching is done by logic. Most of

According to information available when we added RTTY to the K3, the standard was LSB. So AFSK-A and FSK-D both use LSB. DATA-A and PSK-D both use USB. This is not left to your imagination during operation, because "LSB" or "USB" is shown along with "DATA" in the mode icon area. (This applies

It appears FLDIGI MAC uses USB for RTTY not the standard LSB. Use data A for RTTY. If AFSK is used FlDIGI needs to be in REV mode. If FLDIGI is not decoding correctly or no one answers calls, check the mode. I don’t know if this applies to PC FLDIGI. RAY W8LYJ Sent from my iPad
