Well I made the same modifications to K3 #2971 and using the USB interface am able to do AFSK just fine using MMTTY. Sounds like there is a Gremlin loose somewhere. I have a K3S (10858) and using a dummy load and wattmeter and can copy everything that #2971 transmits and vice versa. I did the same thing with my K3S (10853) in the house and 2971 out in the garage and all systems are go..
Sorry I can't help more. Ed..

What's broken? OK, I set things back up with AFSK for RTTY instead of FSK. My results were the same as Joe's. If I set data mode to DATA A things work as expected whether using VOX or my usual interface for PTT. However when I switch data mode to AFSK and VOX on and hit the TX button nothing happens, if I plug in the FSK interface just for PTT the K3 goes into transmit but there is no output and no tones in the monitor. My only conclusion is that there is some logic in the K3 or the new USB interface that is not routing the audio properly in AFSK mode. This is apparently not the case with the K3S. So Joe there is your answer. It is not your setup it is the radio. Maybe when the K4 is all rolled out they can take a look at the firmware and come up with a solution. My current FSK interface is 2 transistors and 2 resistors in each of 2 db9s connected in parallel to the db15hd pins for PTT & FSK. This allows for SO2V operation with minimal fuss. I have never owned a commercial interface, so have no experience with them.
