Keying the K3 for RTTY

[Bill Miller]

I wanted to amke a few RTTY contacts in the recent contest. I could decode the TTY but my K3-connected keyer would not send out signals. What am I missing?

Hi Bill,
You have to use the K3's internal keyer to send data.

Bill,

If by "keyer" you mean paddle, then FSK-D data mode should work. AFSK
will also decode, but not encode.

if you mean a keyer and not paddles, then it won't work.  The K3 must
encode from the paddles, not from an external keyer, to send PSK or RTTY
using the built-in encoder.
