Yes. When you use a computer to generate FSK, the timing is generated at the the computer - it just tells the K3 when to shift frequency... unless the software sends commands containing the text to be sent. The K3 Utility can do that (IIRC), but most common RTTY software doesn't. ~iain / N6ML

Yes, this is a known problem. For example, the driver starts transmitting before the FA command is complete on the first attempt to connect, whether or not a band change is involved. It's amazing that no one caught this in beta tests. 73, matt W6NIA On Sat, 07 Jan 2012 02:07:58 -0500, you
