Hi Brian: I haven't been on RTTY too much recently so the problem hasn't occured for some time. That being said, I'm going to see if I can pin things down a bit and report back.
The setup is a K3 with a microKeyer II running with a KPA500 at about 300W. I'm using MMTTY (within DX4Win) for non contest operations and MMTTY with N1MM for contests - FSK in both cases. Thanks for your comments. 73, Doug VE3MV ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Alsop" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 01, 2012 5:45 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Couple of issues during CQWW RTTY > Hi Doug, > > Interesting.
