Re: [Elecraft] K3 doesn't work in AFSK-A mode but DATA-A does work. What's broken?

I have used a K3 on AFSK RTTY beginning in 2008 with the laptop computer internal sound card until I got a K3S and ultimately converted to the internal sound device. I always use VOX and a variant of MMTTY (AXETTY for DXBase). My earlier suggestions were based on cockpit errors that I have

Bill, I've greatly simplified the setup for troubleshooting. All I have running is MMTTY. The radio mode is for sure ASFK A. If I simply change the mode to DATA A, all is well. This seems to argue again a hardware issue, at least for the keying part of the circuit. -- Sent from:
