Hi!It must be something simple I am missing but for some reason, I cannot get the K3 to transmit RTTY from MMTTY only on 30 meters. I have checked all settings but nothing. It is fine on 160 - 6 meters (just checked) but on 30, nothing. If I unplug the cables from the computer and use the keyer

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - MMTTY interface for FSK

All along I have been using COM 1 on my PC for FSK keying. I have been using pin 3 to Pin 1 on the Acc K3 socket. I have not used Pin 7 (PTT) to Pin 4 on the K3. I trust you have been using an NPN transistor between the RS-232 output (+/- 9V) of the serial port and the TTL input (0 to +5V) of

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - MMTTY interface for FSK

Tony, If the com port pin stays at -9volts, then the COM port is not "doing its thing". I trust you used a 'scope to look measure it. A DMM will not likely respond quickly enough to see the positive going pulses. Try another COM port. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/14/2016 10:45 AM, N2TK, Tony wrote:

I am having brain freeze. I must have changed something but not sure what. Both K3's had been working fine on FSK using MMTTY for years. I can still receive fine, but I can't transmit on either. I am using LP Bridge which is talking fine to either K3. When I hit Xmit in MMTTY the program shows

Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem

Another thing to check: In your sound devices find the signalink USB codecs and open the playback mixer. The slider needs to be at 100all the way to the top. Also, there are jumpers in the SL. One is for low output or high output. Make sure the jumpers are set to the high positions.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem

Be very careful ... Signalink USB lacks sufficient bypassing on the internal 5V distribution, lacks regulation on the CODEC and op-amp V/2 reference, and lacks sufficient filtering on the USB power line. Most sound card show increased distortion with Playback gain above 80%. Cranking the audio

Understood...thanks. I had a similar problem when I first got a SL USB. The manufacturer said the slider must be at max and then use the front panel pot and radio line in control to manage the desired audio level. When I did that I was able to get the desired output. I did not mean to crank

Thanks for all the inputs on my question.I have made some progress. I changed the K3 mode from AFSK to Data A, and in MMTTY haveRev selected. I am now upon TX getting power out, movement on the ALC meter (4 bars with 5th flickering, mic line set at 31) and hearing Diddles. So MMTTY is working

Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem

Also as I understand it Signalink does AFSK, so why does it appear to be working in DATA A. Does the Data A mode selection have something to do with the reduced power out? AFSK A has a very narrow *transmit* filter on the Mark/Space tones to prevent distortion and hum. If the MARK in MMTTY

Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem

I do the same, and for the same reason. But it's not only the .ini file that must be edited -- there's another file that defines the various decoder settings that can be selected from a pull-down menu or cycled through. userpara.ini - it only comes into play if one uses the Profiles (S) menu.

Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem

Paul, There are subtle differences between DATA A and AFSK A. You may want to review the K3 manual section on data modes for additional information. First, DATA A sets the K3 to USB mode by default where AFSK A uses LSB by default. DATA A can transmit and receive anywhere within the audio

Paul, I fear there is something in your setup between the K3 and MMTTY that is causing your problems. In addition to the K3 manual, review the MMTTY help file to see if you can discover what that may be. We can only guess about what your problem may be - what I can say is that if the tones

Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem

Hi Paul, Although I do not use MMTTY ,  the fact that you have the lights and TX on the k3 working suggests that the ptt function (or VOX) is correct. The fact that all of the other software is working suggests that something related to the sound card settings in MMTTY is incorrect. Perhaps it

Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem

Paul, How many bars are being illuminated on the K3 ALC meter? If you do not have 4 bars illuminated with the 5th bar flickering, you do not have enough audio drive. If you are using the K3 Line In, you will have to set the SignaLink for high audio output (see the SL instructions). The K3

I am a total rookie at RTTY but just started to setup MMTTY with my K3 to have a try at RTTY Roundup this weekend. I can get the K3 to transmit RTTY with the K3 in DATA A but when I try AFSK I don't get any audio. I am using a Signalink as the soundcard with PTT through the Signalink. It's

I'm running MMTTY with my K3, interfaced with a SignaLink USB. No problems receiving or initiating transmission, but ending transmission is a problem. Entering the \ character in my MMTTY macros stops the computer from sending but doesn't take the radio out of transmit. Clicking on the TXOFF

Mike, I have not found this to be critical at all, once the audio and VOX levels are set. First, using manual keying adjust the level out from the sound card and the LINE input level on the K3 to just get the required 4-5 bars of ALC. Then increase the K3's MAIN:VOX GN setting until the output

Thanks Rich. Turning up the vox gain did it, and I was able to turn down the computer sound card a bit to get the ALC reading correct. I didn't want to mess with the MIC gain, because it's touchy for me to set it for phone. I'd like to turn VOX off for phone only, but that's not possible

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] MMTTY

Mike, On the K3, MIC level and LINE level settings are independent; you can adjust the LINE level in data modes without affecting the MIC level for voice and vice versa. Regarding changing levels in different software, you might take a look at QuickMix (http://www.ptpart.co.uk/quickmix/) - this
