John - found your post interesting and timely, as I played around with the CW to RTTY mode last night myself in the contest. I used to operate the CQWW RTTY contest regularly, and still hold the USA records for SOHP and SOLP, after number of years. I have a feeling I threw off some of the old-time regulars with my new zone and state :.) Also, my signal is quite a bit weaker now, running barefoot and stealth wires. The only issue I had with the CW to RTTY mode was trying to send a - (-....-) As it's a character I never use in real CW, it was difficult to send correctly.
Appreciate your post, especially the tip about CONFIG: VFO OFS. That's one setting I'm going to use. I didn't know it existed. Regarding your follow-up post, I don't have a P3 and my K3 is new, and I had no problems. The only "issue" I had was the long idle time at the end of a buffer. I tried programming IM (..--) into its own buffer, but it wouldn't "take." I guess it only accepts real CW characters. I'd like to see a CONFIG setting for an adjustable end-idle time.
