Re: [Elecraft] K3 RTTY setup with MMTTY

Hi Richard and All, O.K. Since I'm just getting into this digital stuff, I'm not afraid to ask a dumb question. Does what you say mean that I cannot use Ham Radio Deluxe, plus its associated program digital master 780, to both control my K3, as well as send and receive digital modes like

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RTTY setup with MMTTY

Hi Dave, For sound card digital modes other than RTTY, you use the K3's DATA A mode. This does not require a serial port connection for keying - it transmits signals based on the audio from the sound card. For RTTY, you can do AFSK RTTY the same way, i.e. with an audio connection, although there

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RTTY setup with MMTTY

If you insist on using FSK for RTTY instead of AFSK, then yes, you need another port to do your FSK keying from, and unlike CW this port cannot be the same one that you use for radio control (frequencies, etc.). You will most likely need a one-transistor switch to convert the output from
