K3 RTTY Message Button Diddles

[Bill Lewis]

Any info on eliminating the 4 second span of diddles present at the end of
transmission when using a message push button and RTTY would be appreciates.


Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill,

Just send an "IM" prosign character to terminate the diddles within < 1 second.

That's   ..--

Think of "IM" as "IMmediately stop sending".

Bill,

Record an "IM" (no letter space) character at the end of the message.
If using the K3Utility to enter the message text, end it with "|" and
that message will work fine for CW, RTTY, and PSK.

 From a keyboard, you can send the proper character (a pipe)... it's  
the upper case of a backslash... on most keyboards just above the  
return key.  It looks just like an upper case "i".  On my screen I  
cannot distinguish a I from an |.  But they are two different  
characters in the ASCII world.  The "IM" only works from a paddle input.

There's a way to do this from within K3 Utility's "Terminal" screen (see its Help info).

RTTY & K3 buttons - how do you fare on FSK POL setting?

M1-4 buttons,  FSK POL = 0
K3 Utility program  FSK POL =0
FSK via ACC port  FSK POL=1

so when on FSK, the push buttons can't be used.... bummer

I am not familiar with the acronym "POL" - please edify me.

Robert,

that's wrong. Using push buttons/memories from the K3 frontpanel all the
time on FSK-D if I just need to send my call and a report to work some
DX. No need to start RTTY on the PC then. ;-)

If I use the PC for RTTY (MMTTY in my case) there's no need to change
something. Either configure your RTTY software for "reverse polarity" if
you want to leave the K3 default or simply change the K3's POL in the
menu (I'm on the road right now but sure there is a menu option). K3
memories or doing RTTY with paddle will still work fine!

Unlike Yaesu radios I've had, I've never had to change the polarity of my K3
or any program, including MMTTY, to reverse for FSK (FSK D in the K3).

I find briefly touching the "SUB" button terminates the extra 4 seconds.
Not sure why.
