Mike, You are apparently setting PTT with the DTR signal OK,
But, how are you "sending a RTTY string"? If you are using AFSK A, the "RTTY string" must come into the K3 as audio (likely from a soundcard) - the easiest is to use the K3 LINE IN - plug a stereo cable between the soundcard line out and the K3 line in.. You control the LINE OUT level on the soundcard AND the LINE-IN level on the K3 to produce 4 bars on the ALC display - use TX TEST to set the levels and you will not bother anyone with a transmitted signal.. 73, Don W3FPR Mike wrote: > Apparently I don't understand the use of DTR/RTS for PTT. > > If I assert DTR, the red xmit LED comes on, but when I send an RTTY > string to the rig, there is no output.
