Stewart,
Check the construction of your XV144 control cable at the 15 pin
connector. There should be no connection to pin 1. If there is,
correct it so the connector is wired like that shown in the XV Owner's
manual - see Figure 7 on page 11. If you do not have the latest XV
Owner's manual, download it.
Yes, you should be able to leave the XV144 connected, and you should be
able to work RTTY on 2 meters.
73,

I have been trying to make FSK work with my K3 since last September on
and off (excuse the pun). I have tried 4 different interfaces, I have
traced through all the cables many times, tried different software,
tried different COM ports, I have torn my hair out, etc.
I have a splitter on the output from the K3's ACC socket to an Export
1.3k, a band decoder and an XV144 transverter, as well as the FSK keying
lead. As a last resort I tried unplugging the various peripherals one by
one from the splitter box. And hey presto, when I unplugged the
transverter the problem is finally resolved and I can hear diddles
emitting from the radio! The transverter pulls pin 1 down to earth! This
is a serious issue! I haven't gone any further yet, to investigate why
pin 1 is even connected to the transverter.
