Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem
The manufacturer said the slider must be at max and then use the front panel pot and radio line in control to manage the desired audio level. The problem is that when the Windows slider is at max the USB CODEC is running rail to rail on its output. With the improper filtering and lack of regulation for the V/2 reference the output tones *are clipped* and that causes distortion no matter where one runs the front panel controls on the device or the mic gain on the K3. This is another design fault of the device, the gain of its internal VOX/PTT should have been increased to operate at lower levels from the CODEC. With the K3, one is better served to use a lower output from the CODEC and higher mic gain/VOX gain in the K3 and not rely on the internal VOX/PTT of the device - transmit audio quality will be up to 3 dB better. 73, ...

So if you're using it, check to see that the rig is set for VOX in AFSK-A mode. Also check VOX levels. Another possibility is that your computer sound card has been set to the wrong L/R channel. Check the playback mixer for the SignalLink. Also check that the RTTY program is using the SignalLink. The fundamental differences between AFSK-A and DATA-A are that AFSK-A uses MMTTY as a single frequency decoder, works LSB, and the dial frequency is the Mark frequency. DATA-A uses USB, and uses software with multiple decode capability, and the digital modulation can be moved anywhere in the passband to the frequency of the signal you've chosen to work. AFSK-A is RTTY ONLY, DATA-A can be used with ANY digital modes. 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem
Paul, I fear there is something in your setup between the K3 and MMTTY that is causing your problems. In addition to the K3 manual, review the MMTTY help file to see if you can discover what that may be. We can only guess about what your problem may be - what I can say is that if the tones are correct, the K3 will transmit in AFSK A. Once you figure out what is wrong with the setup, you will likely do a good 'forehead slap'. You had once mentioned "backwards" RTTY - you should not have ALT set on the K3 nor reverse set in MMTTY when using AFSK A because AFSK is LSB which is normal for RTTY. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/14/2014 5:56 PM, paul ecker wrote: I have the Pitch in AFSK set the same as the mark in MMTTY.

AFSK A has a very narrow *transmit* filter on the Mark/Space tones to prevent distortion and hum. If the MARK in MMTTY is not the same as the MARK in the K3 (Pitch), you will get no output. As for DATA A, depending on the transmit filter, you can have as much as 1 to 1.5 dB of passband ripple. -1 dB is roughly 80W output for a nominal 100W. I strongly suggest making sure the MMTTY Mark and K3 PTICH are set to the same frequency, that you turn NET ON in MMTTY, turn AFC OFF, *TUNE WITH THE K3 VFO* while using AFSK A and carefully read both the K3 Owners Manual and MMTTY help files. 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem
Paul, How many bars are being illuminated on the K3 ALC meter? If you do not have 4 bars illuminated with the 5th bar flickering, you do not have enough audio drive. If you are using the K3 Line In, you will have to set the SignaLink for high audio output (see the SL instructions). The K3 must be operated as indicated in the K3 manual. If you try to use the conventional advice given for other rigs, you will have trouble - the K3 is different in how it controls the power output level. Set the audio level to produce the proper level in the ALC meter (you can do that in TX TEST mode so you do not bother other operators). Then set your desired power level with the K3 power control. Attempting to use the audio level to control the power output will result in failure. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/13/2014 2:50 PM, paul ecker via Elecraft wrote: I am having problems getting MMTTY to transmitproperly using K3 with a Signalink USB interface.

The fact that all of the other software is working suggests that something related to the sound card settings in MMTTY is incorrect. Perhaps it has its own level controls or you have the wrong i/o settings. Can you receive correctly? Have you set the input on the k3 to the line in? Hope this helps. 73's Tom va2fsq.com On Oct 13, 2014 2:50 PM, paul ecker via Elecraft wrote: > > I am having problems getting MMTTY to transmitproperly using K3 with a > Signalink USB interface. > > Currently, when I go to TX in MMTTY, I get red TXlight on Signalink, a red TX > light on K3, I hear diddles coming out of theSignalink rear monitor jack, and > I seemovement on Vu meter in Windows sound playback tab.

[Elecraft] K3/MMTTY/Signalink Problem
I am having problems getting MMTTY to transmitproperly using K3 with a Signalink USB interface. Currently, when I go to TX in MMTTY, I get red TXlight on Signalink, a red TX light on K3, I hear diddles coming out of theSignalink rear monitor jack, and I seemovement on Vu meter in Windows sound playback tab. BUT I get no RF out on K3 RFmeter, no movement on K3 ALC meter and I am not hearing any diddles. - PC is Win 7 64 bit, i5 3.5ghz processor, 16gbof ram - My K3, Signalink, PC setup is working finewith DM780 PSK31, JT65HF, WSPR and WSJT-X. Would appreciate talking to someone who hasMMTTY running successfully using K3 witha Signalink USB to share setup information.
