I agree with this advice, and so does W0YK, the RTTY champion. But it DOES require that use RIT now and then for callers who are not exactly on your frequency. Another piece of advice. You can choose several frequencies for the MARK tone. I like the 915 Hz choice, because it makes RTTY easier to tune in by ear. You need to set this two places. First, in the K3, using the PITCH control while in digital mode. Second, you need to set it on one of the options menu pages in MMTTY as the default for the HAM settings. You should study the documentation for MMTTY that describes how NET, ATC, AFC work in MMTTY. While you CAN use the program "plug and play," there are a lot of powerful options you can take advantage of, so you'll get more out of it by spending some time with the doc. Also, MMTTY has some defaults that try to turn AFC and NET on and off depending on your operating mode. Many seasoned RTTY folks think this is a bad idea, so you'll have to disable them. Those auto settings are on one of the setup pages for MMTTY. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
