Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] RTTY mode rocks!

Each individual character will be sent at the correct baud rate no matter what the CW speed. But if you use the message buffers, characters are guaranteed to be sent out back to back, as if you were sending a brag tape from a computer application. (I.e., 60 WPM for RTTY.) This means you ca

I'm new at RTTY/PSK31 so forgive me for the FAQ. but I assume that if I send at high speed on the paddles (or via the message buffers), the KX3 just buffers the characters and the modes send it out at 45 or 31 baud. Is that correct? --Andrew, NV1B .. On Sat, Oct 20, 2012 at 1:47 PM, Wayne Burdick

Anyone can send 50 WPM using the KX3's internal RTTY and PSK31 modes (FSK-D and PSK-D). Just program up to six message buffers for contest exchanges and use those instead of the key. 73, Wayne N6KR On Oct 20, 2012, at 9:26 AM, Gerald Manthey wrote: > I am so looking forward to getting my fi

I did not monitor PA temps, but the exchanges for the contest are pretty short, so not much of a stress. Thanks for reminding me of that, I now recall Wayne suggesting 5W max for continuous duty modes like RTTY and PSK. Chip AE5KA On Sat, Oct 20, 2012 at 4:12 PM, Gerald Manthey wrote: > Chip

I've never been into any mode other than CW, but this morning I tried RTTY and PSK31 on the KX3 for the first time. I too was very impressed. Very well implemented on the KX3 and I particularly like being able to use the CW paddle for input. I don't like being tied to the computer for this work (

Chip Any problems running RTTY at full power? PA heat? Or are you running it half power at 5 watts? Thanks KC6CNN- Gerald On Oct 20, 2012 10:23 AM, "Chip Stratton" wrote: > I'm very impressed with the RTTY mode in this little bugger. It is doing a > good job of decoding signals in the JART WW R

I'm very impressed with the RTTY mode in this little bugger. It is doing a good job of decoding signals in the JART WW RTTY contest, and with it's 10 watts into my trap vertical stations in Poland, Finland, and Ukraine are reading it fairly well. Using the CW memories to hold the exchange makes it
