Guess what? It's on the list to add FSK-D and PSK-D from the key input as well as the paddle input. 73 Greg AB7R -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 4:06 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 on RY...I was "caught" !!! OK...a local pushed me to try it out and I was curious anyway, so I did the CW Paddle to RY thing. Works pretty well! I did have to remember to send the IM after every "over" to shut off the idle. I worked just over 100 guys in very casual and very interrupted operating over a couple hours. I knew that by sending CW, I'd be slower than normal RY, but the local said, "Hey not much difference." I did not set up the K3 internal paddle ahead of time for "my" style of sending and I had a bit of difficulty with it. I ended up slowing down my sending to 30 wpm and using the paddle as if it were a non-iambic. That worked fine. However....there was at least one clever person out there who "figured it out and caught me." In a private email.... [snip] Hi there Doug You just worked me (OQ5M) on 20m RTTY. Pretty good signal. My guess is that you were CW'ing the K3 to get RTTY out? The RY sigs came in a tad slower than PC generated RTTY... My K3 is ordered ;o) TNX for the QSO, hope to work you again. Next week would be nice. 73 de Franki ON5ZO = OQ5M [snip] The word is on the street! This radio just seems to do it all. Too bad you have to use the internal keyer (paddles input)...it would be a lot more fun to have it do this from the external keying source by recognizing the dits and dahs coming into the KEY input. Then I could simply use my CW / SSB contest software (which sends the entire exchange). de Doug KR2Q _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
