Since it can send CW from the keyboard using KY commands there is no reason why it could not also send RTTY or PSK using these commands, though obviously the software would need some changes such as allowing a larger character set to be sent.
However there is little advantage in transmitting data via serial port commands if you still need to use the computer sound card to decode it. The current TT1 implementation of sending raw decoded text back to the serial port is unusable by software that also wants frequency, mode, S-meter readings and other information from the radio. Users who have installed the second receiver option may also want software capable of independently displaying two separate decoded data streams. Dave, G4AON, commented that KCommunicate does not seem to work with a K3. That is hardly surprising, as I have not got a K3 to test it with yet. But even if I did, I suspect I still will not be able to get this to work until there is further refinement of the firmware in this area. ----- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
