Unlike RTTY, which as been around long before sound cards were invented, PSK31 was designed as a sound card mode. So there is not even any legacy software that can do this. Since this would require a second serial port I doubt if such an option would be popular, especially as there is doubt in my mind as to whether the USB serial ports most people would want to use are capable of working at the nonstandard baud rates such modes would require. Under Windows you would probably have to fight with the system to get access to the serial ports and set these nonstandard UART parameters, making the task much more difficult than it was in 1986 when I wrote my own MS-DOS RTTY terminal program.
My new K2/K3 logging program KComm can use the same KY software commands to generate RTTY and PSK31 when the K3 is in FSK D and PSK D modes. But there are a number of issues that need to be addressed in the firmware before this becomes usable on-air, to whit: - KY currently only supports the CW "alphabet" so you can't send newlines or backspaces (nor a lot of other characters that are valid in PSK31), and in PSK31 everything is sent in lower case. - There is no way to abort the transmission of text that has already been sent to the radio (as there isn't in CW if you have selected the option to send "@" as a prosign instead of using it as an abort character.) ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com KComm for K2/K3: www.g4ilo.com/kcomm.html -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-PSK-D-tp18153773p18154526.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
