RTTY on the K3S

KE1B

Is there any way for the K3S to take its audio from the USB codec rather than the Line-in or Mic-in? I don’t see that choice in the menu.

Conversely, is there any way for N1MM+/MMTTY to send ASCII data to the K3S for FSK transmission. I don’t think they are set up to do that. What I am trying to get is a one-cable (USB) solution for all modes. (CW works fine with RTS/DTR over USB.)

Exactly the same configuration as AFSK with audio via Line In but
no connection to the Line In jack.

Mode         = DATA
SubMode      = AFSK A
MENU:Mic Sel = Line In
Mic gain set for four bars of ALC with fifth bar flickering

The same settings work for other digital modes with DATA A
substituted for AFSK A.

Yes, use LINE IN and don't plug any cable into the LINE IN jack on the
back of the radio.  it will then use the USB.

You can use AFSK over the USB as above.

Search on Google for

"LCD Protective Film"

Buy a piece large enough and cut to size.

I have that configuration, but when I transmit, I only get a pure carrier, no data diddling.

I buy I-pad  screen protectors, then cut to size..
I also use them on the roof of my car to protect the roof from scratches
when I use a mag mount..

Re: RTTY on the K3S

Hi rich and all.
Maybe you have selected the wrong audio output device. You need to
change it accordingly to the new K3S USB audio interface that appeared
when the USB was inserted ... and the driver was inserted.

Maybe you have the audio generator AFSK level (inside the program i.e.
MMTTY) or the USB audio level for the proper interface way down.

But, more ... that's the best candidate!
Maybe you have something other wron as you wrote that you are getting
a pure carrier. This would mean that you are still setup as FSK and
are getting the mark carrier without the diddling to shift carrier ...
this mean that yours radio still wait for FSK manipulation and not for
the AFSK tones in input.
Having the radio properly setup for AFSK audio tones input will give
you nothing when in TX without tones, no carrier I mean. No audio no
RF ouput.
The AFSK audio tones gives you the proper RF output as on SSB.
Contrarily when you have the FSK submode setup you get plenty of RF
but no diddles if there is not manipulation in between tones.

UR radio is FSK, UR computer is AFSK. Isn't?

I would double check the Radio SubMode and after the interface, levels
setups whatever they live.

 Have a check and let us know, pse.

PS use again the Joe's advice and list on the radio side. SubMode
seems to be the key in your case at least from here.

Following up on Salvo's post: Rich, I believe you said you are using
N1MM+. If that is the case, open the N1MM+ Configurer, select the Mode
Control tab, and on the right side, look to see what is selected for
"Mode sent to radio" for RTTY. If this is set to RTTY, N1MM+ will put
the K3S into FSK D mode, which will result in an unmodulated carrier if
there is nothing connected to the FSK pin on the AUX connector on the
K3S. To use AFSK A, change the "Mode sent to radio" to AFSK.

If you get a pure carrier you either have the data sub-mode
(AFX hold) set to FSK_D or your data program is not operating
correctly (generating a single tone).
