Dave, You may be confusing switching PSK31 to PSK63 with switching RTTY from 45 to 75 bps. That you can do but not PSK31 to 63. Would be nice though since PSK63 is a much better DX mode. Rick K6LE On 7/29/2012, at 6:05 , Dave Blaschke w...@wt.net wrote: It seems I remember switching PSK31

I don't know if there are differences on the main tuning knob but I bought the Ten-Tec ring and could never make it fit well or look nice. It was too big to fit over the K3 knob with the existing ring removed and because it has a lip inside it wouldn't fit correctly with the original ring

Right! He said he was going to set up an outside monitor to look at his signal. Perhaps when that's set up it would be interesting to compare the Kcomm generated text with just the K3 Utility. Don't know why it would make a difference but could be a starting place if it does. Rick K6LE

I enjoy PSK63 but rarely run across it. However, I suspect that re-doing the K3 firmware to include PSK63 is not in Paul's intended area. I just hope he can get the existing K3 modes working for now, we can hope for adding other modes to the K3 later. Rick K6LE On 5/21/2012, at 11:24 , Bob

Mike, 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
