Rich, Don and others who have responded, SRI it has taken several days to respond. Sometimes life gets in the way of fun. Please don't take my comments below personal. They are just my observations and thoughts.
I have done a bit more reading and observing and here is what I know. The K2 in RTTY mode now transmits and receives on the same frequency after aligning the RTTY filters per Don's instructions. When the K3 is in FDK-D mode both radios transmit and receive to each other when both dials indicate the same frequency. When observing the "bracket" at the bottom of the P3 connected to the IF output of the K3 I can see the shift you spoke of between USB/AFSK-A and FSK-D. So I think we are on the same page about this now. The thing that concerns me now is that it's generally accepted that RTTY is on LSB from the carrier. Apparently, it is not with my K2 in RTTY mode (AFSK) and my K3 in FSK-D mode. Test with three different Yeasu models confirms they transmit and receive the mark frequency below my K2 and K3. I suspect that it's the same for other models in that line and ICOM as well. I've read the manuals of two different ICOM radio's and they imply ICOM is the same as the Yeasu. I have no knowledge of Kenwood on this subject. So what this amounts to is that when I schedule to meet someone on a certain frequency I have to tune the mark frequency above the agreed frequency to communicate with them. If I don't find them there then I have to go back to the agreed frequency. (With my K3 I normally only use FSK-D.) Of course, the majority of my reported frequencies in contesting do not agree that reported by the other corresponding party in an exchange. Not to belabor the issue, but I don't understand why Elecraft apparently chose this way making it different from other radio manufacturers. I'm certainly open for more thoughts. Have to get out of here at this moment....an electrical storm is in the immediate area. 73, Jim, W0EM. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-Problem-in-NAQP-tp6592060p6620413.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
