Mike, This was a very timely thread for me in that I have been trying to get MMTTY working with the K3s and missed any contacts with the FT4 on RTTY and only made a RTTY Q with the VK0 because I used the memories in the K3s to send RTTY via FSK, not MMTTY. In fact, what I was transmitting was just a key down and not the RTTY I thought I was putting out and I was inadvertently QRMing every time I transmitted.
I asked on the MMTTY yahoo group about how to sync the K3s properly and a very helpful ham from VK finally helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. The info in this thread is also very helpful. I did find that for some reason when I would select AFSK A, it was still set at FSK D and I must not have properly saved the AFSK setting. Now I have it correctly set and its working beautifully. I am so satisfied with the K3s, it is just a magnificent piece of electronics and makes my day better. 73, Gary KA1J > OK, I think I have it straight now.
