I'm not a huge RTTY guy, but I do operate it on occasion. The big performance difference with using a PC is that there are several decoders available, each with different strengths. These decoders typically have a lot of options that can be tweaked to optimize them for conditions. It's also possible to run multiple different decoders in parallel to see which one decodes the best at any moment. Having said that, I typically run whatever decoder is the default in whatever software I'm using, and seldom adjust the parameters. And, when the K3 is set to decode RTTY on its display, it generally does a remarkable job on its own, at least on strong signals. So, the built in stuff works well, but doesn't provide nearly the same flexibility as computer based software. On Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 12:52 PM Joe Subich, W4TV <[email protected]> wrote:
