RTTY basics

[Nelson Wittstock]

I would like to try RTTY with my new K3 but I know absolutely nothing about
setting up for operating.  I need a basis to be able to use the instructions
in the Owner's Manual.  Such things as what tones to use or speeds or
anything else that needs to be set.  Where would I look to find a primer on
operating RTTY and the other digital modes? Is this information available on
line?

Nelson, K8DJC

www.rttycontesting.com covers the basics as well as more advanced topics.
It is based on WriteLog and MMTTY, but all the basic knowledge is included.
There is a link to Don's "Getting Started in RTTY" tutorial, which is where
I recommend you go.  You can ignore the material on MMTTY if you want to
start out using the encoder/decoder in the K3.

The ARRL publishes a great book that gives an overview of all the digital
modes.
