RTTY with a K3/0

[Steven Bertsch]

I have a friend who lives in a retirement community about 100 miles from me and he has a K3/0 which he uses to remotely connect to my K3/100 and we're both using the RemoteRig boxes. He wants to start doing RTTY with MMTTY. I know we'll use FSK but I don't know what cables are needed for me and for him and where they will plug in. I'm disabled and he's too shakey to make the cables.

If anyone has done RTTY remotely and could help me by letting me know what needs to be done and even make any cables that are needed, I am willing to pay you.

Thanks, Steve K6SAB

It is actually very easy to use RemoteRig and the K3 with RTTY.

Assuming you have the cable already that goes between the radio RRC and
K3's ACC port to turn on the K3, then this cable also has the wires
connected to use FSK. Then all you need to do is the following:

To *receive *RTTY (or any other digital mode), you need to pull the
audio off the control RRC and put it through a sound card (or sound card
interface) to decode things. Just use a Y-cable or similar, since an
audio cable is already going between the RRC and the K3/0.

To *send *RTTY, you can use one of two methods:
- EITHER do so by using a sound card (interface) through the RRC's MIC
jack, which would be AFSK (also use this method for other digital modes)
- OR after connecting a USB cable between the RRC and PC, use native FSK
mode by switching the serial COM3 mode to RTTY and using that virtual
COM port with your program (look at the Windows Device Manager).

I have a new k3-k3/0 twin setup going. When I have the k3/0 paired up with the k3 neither can decode digital modes. I assume that's the state of affairs right now. Any plans to include native support for digital in the k3/0?
