RTTY problem

I am having a problem with receiving RTTY signals. It worked before so I assume it is something I have set incorrectly.

There is no display of anything on any of the RTTY applications. No waterfall, nothing at all. I have tried different computers and multiple applications with the same results. I have adjusted the line out item in the config menu to full scale.

I plugged headphones into the line out jack I can hear the RTTY signal but it seems to be attenuated. Although I don't know how loud it should be.

BTW: transmit doesn't work at all. That will be the subject of another email.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: RTTY problem

Dave,

It sounds like you have some problem with the cable to the computer or
in the soundcard itself. If you attach some other device to the cable
you are plugging into the K3 line-out (like a portable CD player), do
you see anything on the waterfall - you should.

Is there any chance that you have reversed the line-in and line-out
cables? The K3 line out goes to the computer line-in. Reversing them
would cause both transmit and receive to fail.

Check your computer soundcard controls to be certain you do not have
line-in muted.

Had the same thing happen after installing the new Google Earth today.
I couldn't figure out what was changed in the audio pannel.
Restoring computer to a state just before the Google Earth install
solved the problem.

I use Quick Mix <http://www.ptpart.co.uk/quickmix/> to save and restore
my sound card setting. This program has saved me more than once.
