We included RTTY/PSK decode/encode in the K3/K3S/KX3 to expand the range of conversational, no-PC-required digital modes available to the operator. I'm glad that our high-efficiency, convenient implementation suffices for many QSOs and casual contest operation.
If the communication requirements are more demanding and a PC is available...well, there's always LINE IN/OUT :) 73, Wayne N6KR On Mar 18, 2016, at 7:07 PM, Kevin Stover <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't know where the idea started that the decode algorithm in the K3(s) > would be a good as a stand alone dedicated program like MMTTY.
