RTTY Keying problem

[Dave Perry N4QS]

To all,

I had a computer crash yesterday and have spent the weekend reinstalling ham radio software and interfaces on a replacement pc.  I almost have everything working except that I still can't get DX4WIN to key the K3 in RTTY AFSK A mode.

I use MMTTY and DX4WIN.  Maybe someone can help refresh my memory.  I have the K3 Data Mode set at AFSK A.  I have always used AFSK A with the K3.  The K3 PTT-Key setup in Configurator is set as DTR - RTS.  If I run MMTTY outside of DX4WIN, under MMTTY Setup, TX tab, I have PTT & FSK port set at None.  If I go into DX4WIN and bring up the RTTY window and then do an Alt-S, I show MMTTY Keying setup as Vox and key line set as DTR.  I am using Com1 for radio control between the pc and K3.

I can receive fine, but just cannot key the K3.  I wonder how you are setup?  It was working perfectly until the crash!

Thanks,

Dave, N4QS

When you do Alt-S you will want to show MMTTY Keying as "PTT Control"
and DTR (based on your K3 settings).

Note your K3 "PTT-Key" is "backward" as several packages (e.g., N1MM
Logger and Writelog) limit PTT to RTS and/or limit CW to DTR.

To all,

Thanks to several replies, I resolved the RTTY keying problem.  It was a simple cabling issue.
