K3S - AFSK problem, need help!

[Elecraft mailing list]

I'm trying my K3S on RTTY for the first time in the JARTS Contest this  
weekend, and I'm having problems.  I'm running it in AFSK  mode, using the K3S
in and out audio jacks to the  CPU.  Also, I'm using the K3S serial port to
the CPU.   When I QSY, the K3S often switches from AFSK to FSK all by  
itself, and then I have to manually select DATA MD and reset it to  AFSK.  (must
have reset it 25 times in the past 3 hours)    
 
I must have something set wrong in the configuration as the MIC control on  
the K3S doesn't change the AFSK audio level either, I have to set the level
via  the CPU's audio mixer.
 
My software is N1MM Logger+.  (latest revision)
 
Please advise what I'm doing wrong.
 
Thanks & 73,
 
Dick- K9OM

This is taxing my waning memory, but I had this problem quite awhile ago
and it was the result of data mode being "remembered" on a per-band [I
think] basis.  This of course assumes that when you said "QSY" you meant
band change and not just turning the Big Knob.  I remember going through
all the bands and setting AFSK.  It's been fine after that.

Dick,

In the N1MM+ Configurer, under the Mode Control tab, right hand side
where it says Mode sent to radio, beside RTTY make sure it is set to
AFSK (for both VFOs if you are using SO2V). If you set this to RTTY,
N1MM+ will put the K3 into FSK D every time you change bands, click on a
spot or use the software to change the radio's frequency.

Re the MIC control, after putting the radio into AFSK A mode make sure
that MAIN:MIC SEL is set to LINE IN.

73,
Rich VE3KI
