K3 DATA question
Locked
 
|
Hello
Playing around listening to PSK / Pactor some Hell etc and works fine in both USB and DATA modes... I touched my key by accident when in DATA mode; and I started transmitting what sounds like PSK... I had to press the XMIT button to stop (first time I just powered off the K3)... I am using MultiPSK - but it makes no difference if it is running or not. (Doesn't do it in USB and CW works normally) What am I missing? Thanks and 73 John VE3NFK |

Hi John,
I think your missing info on the K3 "CW-to-Data" mode function. You can use data modes completely stand-alone (i.e., without a computer). Just turn on text decode, and send CW using the internal keyer. The CW will be transmitted as PSK-31 or RTTY depending on which mode you selected.

Hi Frank
Thanks for the answer - but the text decode is not on - checked that... in fact on 40 meters - it does NOT transmit .. but when I go back to 80 it does - so there must be some setting I am missing... 73 John VE3NFK 2009/10/31 W6NEK [via Elecraft] <[hidden email]>: > Hi John, > I think your missing info on the K3 "CW-to-Data" mode function. > > You can use data modes completely stand-alone (i.e., without a computer). > Just turn on text decode, and send CW using the internal keyer.

Correct but it only works in PSK-D and FSK-D.
