CW to Data for RTTY

[K5LAD]

I'm trying some new things and I've run into a problem.  I'm trying
to use the CW to Data for RTTY feature and I don't get any
results.  If I'm on CW, I can send CW via the paddles, and if I try
DATA/PSK D (31 bPS) the CW to PSK31 works correctly (outputs
PSK 31).
If I try to set up DATA/AFSK A (45 bPS), I get nothing.  Going
back to the other two configurations, it works properly so I know
the paddles are working.  This is the first time I've tried it so I can't
say, "It worked before but not now."

Is there a CONFIG setting that I've missed?

The receive decoder is working properly on RTTY and I'm able to
decode both on the VFO B display and the K3 Utility's terminal
screen.

It's just the CW to RTTY sending that's got me "corn-fused"  I
hope someone will say, "Oh, yeah, I had that same problem and I
_____________________________________"  I need to know
what goes in that blank.

Thanks and 73,
Jim - K5LAD

Jim,

You need to use FSK-D, not AFSK-A, to do CW-to-RTTY. AFSK-A is an
audio-transmit mode, like DATA-A, while FSK-D is for "direct" input
from either a computer or the K3's keyer paddle.

This is covered pretty well in the owner's manual, around page 34
("CW-to-DATA").

Thanks Wayne --
That's the area in the book I'd been looking at and I thought I'd
tried them all but obviously not.  Sure enough, that works.

Thanks for you help.  Perhaps now I can get those guys at K5D
on RTTY.  

Hey, you do good work!
