K3 digital mode

Mike Reublin
I started to play with RTTY this morning, and cannot get the K3 to transmit.

The K3 is set for AFSK A, 2125 170. Vox is on. Monitor level is 15. CW works FB.

The computer is a MacBook Pro pushing an iMic set for line level. I can hear the output from the iMic if I plug fones into it.

The RTTY program is CocoaModem 2.0.

What have I missed/mis set?

73, Mike NF4L

Hi Mike,

If you're using external sound for your data modes, you should have
the mode set to DATA A, not AFSK A.  Having your audio  set to Line in
DATA A mode is correct, unless you're going through the mic and phones
jacks.  Most people use the line in/out for external data modes (very
handy!).

For keying, see CONFIG:PTT-KEYT.  You can use DTR or RTS to key the
K3.  You can also enable VOX, but there will be a slight start up
delay before the rig enters TX (probably not enough to worry about).

AFSK A is the correct sub-mode for "soundcard RTTY".

Actually either can be used.  But using AFSK-A gives you the benefit of
still using the K3 dual peak filters for RTTY.  You will need to make sure
your tones (pitch control) on the K3 match what you use for MMTTY or
whatever software you use for RTTY.

Thanks Matt -

For my setup RTTY uses AFSK A, PSK uses DATA A.

The problem (red-faced) was VOX Gain was zero.
