Joe,

RTTY transmit and receive are both enabled on the K3.  You
need to turn it on however.  Go to "digital mode", and then
you need to set your K3 to RTTY by using both the "8" and
"9" buttons on the keypad.  Both are accessed by "holding"
rather than just "tapping".  On the "8" button you set it to
"On" using VFO B's dial.  You can set the threshold at any
level, but zero is usually fine.  Exit that menu with
another "hold".  On the "9" button you will select the
method for decoding.  Select the FSK D option.  Exit that
menu now with another "hold"  Now if you just "tap" the "8"
button you can turn on the "CWT" tuning indicator.  You will
see a small, inverted triangle on your display centered over
the S meter line.  As you tune across an RTTY signal you
want to get to a point where you see (hopefully) 3 bars on
each side of the triangle.  At that point the K3 should
display the RTTY being sent.  The display will probably
already being displaying characters before you get to that
point, but it will be hash.  Now you can also transmit RTTY
if you wish, simply by sending CW using your paddle.

I've probably bastardized the explanation of this, but it's
all in the manual.

Yes.  With Data MD set to FSK or AFSK, HOLD TEXT DEC and use VFO B to set it to ON.  VFO
A adjusts the threshold.  Turn on CWT to use the tuning indicator and adjust the
indicators so the are of approximately equal amplitude on both sides.
