K3 RTTY with a paddle

w0mu
I managed to work ST0R with my K3 using FSK and my paddle.  The qso was
a bit disjointed but I did get the TU so I am happy!

Maybe I would be better off programing the memories with my call a
couple of times and then IM to immediately unkey and then one with a
signal report.

What a great feature though to be able to use rtty without a computer etc.

Anyone else have any tips for RTTY sending with the paddle?

Normally I would have my Microham Microkeyer hooked up but it is being
used elsewhere at the moment.

I finally got ST0R on 15m RTTY yesterday too, also using the K3 alone. I
have my four memories programmed up with the standard exchanges needed
to make a DX contact so for either CW or RTTY I usually only need to use
the memories to make a QSO. Very handy in the heat of a pile-up!
