Made my first RTTY QSO ever using the CW-to-RTTY feature to work VP6DX.
Neat. Programmed M1 for my send message and programmed M2 with my response.
Also got into a QSO with a CE last night. I need to hook up to a PC or
something so I can use a keyboard. This should make it easier when
chatting.
Hi Dave:
The 'baud rate' is always that user for RTTY( 45.45 bauds), BUT the RATE at
which the characters are actually SENT depends upon how fast you can send
them to the K3 using the internal keyer...
If you send CW at 20 WPM to the K3, then each character will be sent at 45.45
baud, but there
I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to RTTY (call me a RTTY-iot :-).
When doing RTTY the old fashioned way (with a teletype machine) how fast
are chars sent? I'm assuming they are sent at the operator's typing
speed. With a computer, are RTTY messages buffered and sent in a burst
when the OP

Hi Keith:
Back in 'the good/bad old days'... when we used model 43 teleprinters,
well before computers, 60 WPM RTTY (45.45 baud) characters were SENT
at 45.45 bauds, but they were generated at or below the speed at which
the operator could type. If he could type 60 WPM, then there was a
steady
Hi Keith,

Depends on how you look at it. The speed of a character is always the
same (bit speed) and this defines the baud rate. The number of
characters per minute depend on your typing speed,
Hopefully you won't think I cheated, but I put a message
in one of the memory cells to use for calling. Working a
pile-up can get a bit tiresome sending by hand all the time.
So I put DE W7AQK W7AQK W7AQK K K K in memory to do my
calling. Then when VP6DX came back (after several tries) I
