K3 FSK/D vs MMTTY
Locked
 
|
But, I do not have a P3 SVGA card. I know how well MMTTY/EXTFSK works. I've used it. The question is: is the native K3 FSK/D decoder as good or better than MMTTY?
Before I charge off and drop $300 on the SVGA card and monitor, to use mainly for RTTY, is it worth it? I am content with the P3, and don't really need a large monitor showing me the same thing. Short on table space anyway. Has anyone out there with both, used/compared them?

The SVGA uses the decoder built into the K3 - the SVGA is only a display device. Simply turn on the RTTY decoding (DATA | AFSK A or FSK D -> TEXT DEC) set the baud rate and threshold for your best decoding - the text will appear in the VFO B area of the K3 display. Yes, the display is limited to a few characters but you will be able to tell how it decodes compared to MMTTY (or other RTTY software). Frankly, if you have a sound card, know how to connect it to a rig without creating hum/RFI issues and can build a two transistor buffer from a serial port (or your "Radio Boss") for FSK/PTT from EXTFSK, I think you're miles ahead of the built in decoder .... 73, ...

Yes, I realize that I do not need the SVGA card to compare them. Wasn't thinking it through.
I first looked at the W3YY board, but remembered I had the other unit somewhere around here, did a search and found it. With a DB15 Y (I also have the PR6) cable and a 15 pin shell, I can easily construct the necessary cable to connect the 'Radio Boss' to the K3. Thanks for the advice! Case closed, I'm going this way. 73 ...

Use a wall mount for your monitor.
