I don't know much about Rigblaster Advantage, or Microham, or Signalink
[OK, I don't know anything about them], but you might try the "back to
basics" approach and get 2 stereo cables and connect LINE IN to LINE OUT
and vice-versa, and go AFSK [DATA MD A]. I do this using the MMTTY RTTY
engine in N1MM, I key the K3 with VOX [be sure to turn off all the
annoying Windoze sounds, and N1MM can be configured to assert PTT for
you if you coordinate it with the K3 menu options].
In AFSK with MMTTY, you have several discrete choices of MARK/SPACE
tones [PITCH knob], I use 915Hz because I can hear it, and MMTTY must be
set to the same. You have the Windoze audio level controls, and those
on the K3, and there's a combination for just about everyone.
This may not be the ideal situation for everyone, but it is pretty
basic, it removes many of the points of failure, and honestly, it worked
so well for me, I've never gone beyond it for RTTY [and PSK, although
that's not a mode I enjoy]. I've used it for JT65, another mode I only
enjoy when I sort of like my mind to wander while making Q's. :-)
My experience with trouble-shooting problems is, "eliminate as much
'stuff' as you can and see if the problem remains."
Best of luck, I've finally gotten to the point where I can go from my
"normal mode" [CW] to RTTY in less than 30 mins. I use the totally
back-to-basics AFSK technique.

I had fun using N1MM in the CQWWCW contest last week. The N1MM online help
got me started with little problem. Trying to get it working with RTTY was
a different story. I never did succeed in getting a transmission out. By
the way I'm using a Rigblaster Advantage, which shares rig control and
soundcard control through the same com port. This didn't seem to make a
difference with CW, though.Can anyone who has had success with N1MM in the
digital modes share their settings or point me to some documentation?
