Alan: You wrote: It gets more interesting if there is a problem in the RTTY transmitter that causes the two tones to come out at different amplitudes, which would be easy to see on the screen. In your example, you would see ripple in the flat waveform on the screen, true enough.

Hello Elecraft folk: Just installed my new P3 TX Monitor board that I ordered at Dayton (!). I have been waiting for this capability for the P3 since 2010, so as to enable me to monitor transmitter waveforms accurately like I did in my Heath SB-401/SB303 station with the SB610 in ancient times

Hi Luis, As you mentioned, monitoring the amplitude of a properly-functioning RTTY transmitter is not very interesting. Since FSK is a constant-amplitude modulation mode, all you see is a constant-amplitude envelope on the screen. It gets more interesting if there is a problem in the RTTY

Lu, Without addressing what any hardware/software changes needed might entail, I'd say that you are _not_ "out of line with [your] expectation" Any request for features intended help the operator adjust his equipment for a cleaner transmitted signal is valid in my opinion. In fact, I tip

But certainly it isn't necessary to wait around for Elecraft to provide. There are all kinds of tried and true and well documented ways to do all of the things. We've apparently come to the point where we expect our radio vendor to do EVERYTHING for us, instead if just doing it for
