RTTY Diddle suppression

[Dan Sherwood]

Anyone,

In the K3 utility, how do you insert the control character "IM" using the
computer keyboard when editing a RTTY memory?

I'm trying to cut short the long idle tail so the DX stations don't double
with me when answering my responses.  I tried entering IM and cntl-T.
Neither works.  Only sending "IM" on the paddles in real time seems to work.

Thanks,

Dan

Use the vertical line character ie. | on the keyboard at end of the message.  This will be read as IM and stop the diddle.

That would be the shifted (upper case) backslash key, usually just  
above the return key on most keyboards.

John,

I'll try that.  I could not find that in the manual or help utility on the
K3 utility.  My eyesight not as good as it used to be.

Thanks,
