K3 AFSK TX Filter

Ed G
After switching on the AFSK TX filter in the CONFIG menu, I find that the filter essentially blocks all the soundcard audio from being transmitted by the K3, so that I have no output with the filter switched on. Line In gain settings are correct per recent suggestions by Joe, W4TV, and all other K3 settings are proper. When I turn off the AFSK TX filter, the K3 returns to operating normally in AFSK Data mode, with full power output.  I can leave the filter out but am wondering why it is blocking the audio? I am using MMTTY, so perhaps it is a setup issue within that program?

Re: K3 AFSK TX Filter

The K3 AFSK TX filter is a very tight filter around the two RTTY tones,
which blocks all other frequencies in the passband.  Are you intending to
transmit something other than RTTY when the blocking occurs?

Ed,

I am not certain what you are referring to as the "AFSK TX filter".
You must enable the 2.7 or 2.8kHz filter for all DATA modes.

You can enable any filters for receive in any mode, but you cannot use
narrow filters for transmit.

The AFSK TX filter is a narrow audio filter that allows only the
defined mark and space tones to pass.  Check the PITCH setting in
AFSK A and make sure it matches the MARK setting in MMTTY (e.g.,
2125, 1275, 915Hz).

As above a conflict between the K3 and MMTTY.
