KX3 AND FSK

[NOEL POULIN]

Hello,
I was reading the KX3 manual, and I  do not see how to hook an FSK
interface to the KX3,.
I want to use it in RTTY (FSK) and I am looking where should I connect
the interface.
I do not want t o use a cw keyer to for rtty....
Thanks
Noel

Noel,

The KX3 does not have an FSK input.  You will have to move up to the K3S
to have that.

You cannot use a CW Keyer (external) for FSK - you must use paddles
directly attached to the internal keyer in the KX3.

The easiest way is to use AFSK A data submode along with a soundcard and
a computer.

If you have a computer application that can send ASCII text (via the
"KY" commands (see the programmers reference manual), then you can send
in FSK D mode.

Despite what is often said about soundcard generated AFSK, in the
K3/K3S, it is actually cleaner than FSK.  I figure that is also true of
the KX3, although I do not have any data on that.

Just to clarify, for CW and data modes (including RTTY/FSK), you can use:

  - external PC + keyboard (either with a terminal program or using KX3/KX2 Utility)

  - external keyer paddle
 
  - attached keyer paddle (KXPD2/KXPD3)
