David,

AFSK A is optimized for use with RTTY. It defaults to LSB and the frequency displayed is the frequency of the Mark tone. The latter feature does not make too much sense to me when using a waterfall display, but it makes a lot of sense when using narrow filters and tuning to a RTTY station with the VFO. If one arranges sked with an RTTY station, the sked frequency will normally be given as the mark frequency.

Data A is the best to use for those soundcard data modes where a waterfall display is used. It defaults to the usual USB used for many data modes. The K3 frequency display is the frequency of the suppressed carrier.

Hi all,

What EXACTLY is the difference between "AFSK A", and "DATA A".
