I use the AFSK or FSK submodes of DATA. PITCH is set to the same as the
PC program (I have tested with DM780, MultiPSK and MMTTY) or external
decoder (I have tested with KAM Plus, PK-232 and PTCIIex. I expect a
DXP-38 to arrive today so I can test with it as well).
Note the dual tone filter is set for 170 Hz shift. Copying the W1AW
RTTY bulletin works fine (170 Hz shift, 45.45 bps), but copying the
AMTOR-B bulletins does not work well (200Hz shift 100 bps).
Use the "CWT" function on the K3 for tuning in AFSK or FSK modes for
equal deflection of the two bars in the display. The internal decoder,
if enabled, will scroll text. It is using the dual tone filter, even if
you have not selected it.
Be sure the PC program or external decoder is set for the same tone
polarity as the K3. The PTCIIex, for example, expects USB so you have
to issue TONES 3 to reverse the tones when using it in AFSK or FSK modes
on the K3.
