RTTY with K3 Utility

Carl Yaffey
I’ve been trying to figure out how to use the K3 Utility with RTTY. I set up the K3 with FSK-D and could see the sending stations just fine both with the utility and the text display of the K3. But I could not easily transmit. When I clicked on the utility’s transmit button, it would not stay in transmit mode. I could transmit only by FIRST typing in what I wanted to send and then hitting the transmit button (or control-t). Yuck!
I slept on it. Hmmm - in FSK-D, I can send using the keyer. Why not set the utility to CW instead of RTTY? I did and all is well!
Maybe that’s in some archive or manual but I couldn’t find it anywhere.

Carl:

There is an Options dialog on the K3 Utility Terminal page that provides a
way to set the "idle timeout", the time period you'd like to continue
sending "diddle" after all the characters you've typed into the input area
have been transmitted.

On the menu bar see "Help", choose "K3 Utility Help", and then "Terminal".
About midway down that page is a place for you to set idle timeout.
