For DXpeditions and most contests, using the K3/K3S memories will send the RTTY at normal 60 WPM speed. There is no reason to send CW and have the RTTY come out at a slow speed which is rude to the other operator. All you need is two memories programmed, one with your call sign and the other with your exchange.

I just did that on 40 meters with TU7C in the Ivory Coast. I crank out CW at about 25-30 WPM and the K3 does the rest! Cool! I could do this with my KX3 or KX2 if my antennas were better! That's about the only time I venture into the RTTY segment, and I would generally rather just rag chew on CW, but snagging another DXpedition band slot this way is fun. It sure beats the heck out of the way I had to do it in the Army eons ago, with those model 21's, or whatever the nomenclature was--I've forgotten now. That was in an AN/GRC-26 van, with a BC-610, an R390, and a rack panel filled with other stuff. It sure got hot inside those vans!!!! With the K3, I can do it all on a TV tray!
