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..
