[K3] RTTY baud rate reverts to 75

I have been playing with RTTY a bit lately (novice) using the K3's
decode/readout and sending with my paddle. It works great for casual
QSOs and quick DXing. But I've noticed that the baud rate reverts to 75
(from 45) frequently. I am using DXLab and frequently click on spots
there, but that doesn't seem to be the culprit. It seems to happen when
I've changed bands and/or have power-cycled the K3. I'm using FSK D
mode, and I'm not using any other digital modes right now. What's up
with that?

Randy,

I think you will find it is a per band setting. So, once you set it to 45
it should be the same when you come back to that band.

Re: [K3] RTTY baud rate reverts to 75

Last night I returned to 20m RTTY for the first time in several days and the baud rate had reverted to 75 bps. I am certain it was 45 the last time I was there. ???

Re: [K3] RTTY baud rate reverts to 75

Hi Randy,

Same problem here. I thought I had figured out how to keep it at 45 baud but I was mistaken. It always reverts back to 75. I'm using AFSK so it isn't really a problem but I have the P3 with SVGA option and I normally have the data display turned on. I'd rather see a correct decode instead of gibberish on the external monitor used with the P3.

I use RTTY a lot and have not experienced this. The 45/75 setting is
remembered per band.
