[K3] Direct transmit PSK31

Julian, G4ILO
Has anyone used successfully the direct transmt PSK31 mode, PSK D? It seems broken to me.

FSK D appears OK. I key the rig and nice sounding RTTY comes out. It decodes OK. I can also play text stored in the message memories. I just need to be able to send a complete message into the memory without making a mistake. :)

When I key the rig in PSK D, a tone that sounds like PSK31 is transmitted but it is accompanied by a regular loud tick-tick-tick several times a second. This is heard on the monitor, and also transmitted over the air. The characters I am sending, and which appear on the VFO 2 display and therefore are presumably modulated on to the signal, are not decoded by the decoding software. I have tried direct pickup via the PC mic from the K3 monitor, and over the air, the results are the same. I have tried with the receiver set to USB and LSB, though I'm not sure it matters with PSK31, the result is the same.

Also when I try to send a message memory I get the report "No DVR installed."

Although PITCH in PSK-D is set to 1000 the actual audio signal appears at about 1084Hz.

By the way, is it possible to change the center frequency used for DATA A? It seems centered at about 1600Hz which is tiring on the ears. But when I press PITCH it replies N/A.

It's not broken, just not implemented yet!

PSK D has not been implemented in firmware yet.  QRX.

Doh! I didn't realise that. I was sure I'd read in reflector postings and reviews that people had used it!
