I have a new K3. I very much like the quality of this radio but it is over my non-technical head. Are there step-by-step instructions that would tell me how to configure the radio for RTTY using MMTTY software? I am also looking for easy to follow instructions to configure CW using CWDecoder

Steve: I too am a new owner of a k3 kit and just got it going couple of weeks ago. You will enjoy this radio. I too will be looking at N1MM, etc so can operate via keyboard part of the time during contests. In the meantime, regarding RTTY, why don't you try using your CW paddle to send and

[Elecraft] K3/KX3 CW Sidetone Pitch

I am asking this question of K3 and KX3 since I am assuming that the answer is the same for both rigs. If it is different, maybe someone can let me know. Question: Is the CW sidetone generated as a separate audio oscillator circuit or is it generated from a BFO type circuit? This morning, I

Re: [Elecraft] K3/KX3 CW Sidetone Pitch

Phil, The CW sidetone is nothing more than a set of math functions inside the DSP. With the proper DSP code, you can make up most any kind of sound wanted, even sidetone mixed with demodulated signals. That is what the DSP board firmware is all about (plus a lot more). 73, Don W3FPR On

Re: [Elecraft] K3/KX3 CW Sidetone Pitch

OK, so side tone generator is a DSP function. But, your answer leaves a lot of details out. So, if I am using the side tone generator to zero beat another CW station, I do two things. One, I adjust the sidetone pitch to something I prefer. Two, for the actual CW station, I adjust the VFO

Re: [Elecraft] K3/KX3 CW Sidetone Pitch

Phil, The sidetone is a constant audio pitch sent through the audio amplifier (once you select the pitch you desire). It is not a function of the VFO, it is just a constant tone. The demodulated audio (from the signal you are listening to) does vary with the VFO setting. So yes, the selected
