Don,
I think the use of the K3/K3S on digital modes is easy. If you are
using soundcard digital modes, put the K3/K3S into DATA A mode, and
adjust the soundcard output level to about 75%. Change the MIC SEL to LINE.
You connect the soundcard line out (Spkr) to the K3 LINE IN and the
Thanx for all the good points raised for this RTTY-wannabee, morphing
from CW. I always get Fred's books even before buying the Elecraft
hardware, but even with his excellent explanations of the terse official
manuals, digital mode use is still a lot of digestion. e.g., it was
only yesterday

I'm hoping hat I can use the K3S sound card hardware & PC software for
the receive side, and use the paddle CW interface as the transmit side.
I can tell you that being on the other side of that kind of QSO can be
painful, even with something as simple as a contest exchange. From that
point of view, the paddle is acceptable only if you can send about as
fast as RTTY. Not a lot of hams can. :)

Any experience in the group with doing that?

Actually, the K3 has isolation for the Line In and Line Out signals, and

Don,
The K3S built in soundcard will relieve you from the cabling problems
associated with an external soundcard (or Signalink which is actually a
single channel external soundcard).
It will not relieve you of the "level tweaking" because the K3S CODEC is
nothing more than a soundcard built
Yes. RTTY, or PSK-31, or JT65, or JT9, or AX.25, or Throb, or Olivia,
or MFSK-16, or.

In the CQ WPX RTTY contest I ran RUMlog's contest logger which
uses the K3 programming interface to encode and decode RTTY*. I
also ran cocoaModem using the KIO3B's "sound card"#. I used its
crossed loop indicator for tuning and occasionally looked at its
decode. The combination worked quite
I can't comment on the quality of the K3S USB interface, because I don't
own one. The decoder built into the K3 is pretty good, often as good or
better than the software decoder. When used with a keyboard and P3/SVGA
setup, it's pretty good for casual operation, and even for a DX pileup.

There is a lot of great RTTY software out there, and it works with
standard sound cards -- like the one built-in to the K3S.

I'm not a huge RTTY guy, but I do operate it on occasion. The big
performance difference with using a PC is that there are several decoders
available, each with different strengths. These decoders typically have a
lot of options that can be tweaked to optimize them for conditions. It's
