VP6DX RTTY QSOs on the K3 -- without a computer

Several of us have worked Dulcie Island (VP6DX -- seven K3s!) in RTTY
mode using the K3's CW-to-RTTY feature. This would be an auspicious occasion to give it a try, if you haven't already. It's quiet easy to do, as explained in one of our Operating Tips.

Hopefully you won't think I "cheated", but I put a message
in one of the memory cells to use for calling. Working a pile-up can get a bit tiresome sending by hand all the time. So I put "DE W7AQK W7AQK W7AQK K K K" in memory to do my calling. Then when VP6DX came back (after several tries) I retuned using the paddle. I guess you could even put the sig report response in a memory, but I chose not to. But I have a question! At what baud rate does a message come out of memory on RTTY? On CW its at the rate you have your keyer set. So, should I turn the speed up on RTTY?

We planned it this way :) I also recommend that you insert an "IM" prosign (..--) at the end of any message used in DATA modes to truncate the usual CW-to-DATA timeout from 4 seconds to about 1 second. The IM character is ignored in CW mode. > But I have a question! At what baud rate does a message come out of > memory on RTTY? > On CW its at the rate you have your keyer set.

We may support other standard RTTY speeds in the future. 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I have now changed my message to include the "IM" prosign, and it cuts off instantly--doesn't even seem like 1 second--more like a few milliseconds. Previously I had been manually hitting the "XMIT" button to override the delay. Too bad it doesn't work on CW, as I also have a "CQ" message. Although I'm not typically a "CQer", but I've found that when the band is quiet (particularly 30 meters) calling CQ can liven things up now and then! Thanks for the tip Wayne.

you can just put you call into the memory space with the IM...
then hitting it several times, as many as you need for repeat ,,,, ( chaining ) ... the display even tells you it's " chaining" the memory hits together; then take over with the paddle... got ducie rtty today ... on 20 ... I discovered it dropped the "im" on cw ... by experimenting in the test mode...guess i could have read it somewhere. still learniing... com'on ballistic vfo control........ bill _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Made my first RTTY QSO ever using the CW-to-RTTY feature to work VP6DX. Neat. Programmed M1 for my send message and programmed M2 with my response. Also got into a QSO with a CE last night. I need to hook up to a PC or something so I can use a keyboard. This should make it easier when "chatting". 73, N2TK, Tony #311 -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of wayne burdick Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 8:30 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] VP6DX RTTY QSOs on the K3 -- without a computer Several of us have worked Dulcie Island (VP6DX -- seven K3s!) in RTTY mode using the K3's CW-to-RTTY feature.

Pse some K3 adjustment advice to this appliance operator: 1. My K3-100 factory blt # 309 has vy loud brief noise bursts... specifically the effect if a vfo were transmitting and vy rapidly swished past my rcve freq. The resulting blast of tone is much louder than the voice I am listening to and hurts my ears with headphones on. What to do? 2. S-3 to 7 BCI on 160-80-40 and 20 with 2.0 filter setting (wider is worse)... I hear AM voice syllibants (puff sounds) and plosives and occasionally distorted music. This mostly across the bands and definitely is not a single harmonic, altho those come and go from time to time, also. I have the ICE BCI filter in ant. line just behind rig. Using 4 different antennas. OK station gnd. What to do? Gripes: -Info line on the B VFO space disappears too fast for me after pushing a button and getting info in that line. -Auto notch on hetrodyne not effective with BW wider than 2.6... no notching. -Do not know how to adjust the manual notch. -rig needs a balance control (is it there???) to compensate for one ear being less sensitive than the other (got old fast). -Heard a 10 over 9 signal ELEVEN kc below its fundamental.... splatter or deficient selectivity??? BW 1.9 and 1.60 settings. -Auto SPOT seems not to work every time (may be operator error)... Same is true with CW or RTTY decoding read-out. Brags: -VOX on ssb is really super, best I have ever used and best I can imagine. -AGC is vy nice except for pops in #1 above. -CW speed and RF power read-out on the dial... nice. -Delta f amber light is nice reminder. -The ATU is lightning fast.... amazing. -Main knob feel is a delight and tuning rates (selectable) are perfect. Too, nice to hv the rapid QSY also on the RIT knob!-AF selectable volume boost is needed and is good. -Rig is physically beautiful and control layout is super... any smaller and trouble, tho. -Really tacky feet keep light weight rig on the table ok. -Band width graphic on the big dial.... and many others being there is great. Dial color is vy nice and vy adjustable. Needs: -Video output of main dial info and a panadapter (bandscope).... big and urgent need for me. -Direct keybrd input to send CW and RTTY (is it there now?) to go with the nice CW/RTTY reader. -Individual band select buttons for direct one-push entry. -Book needs a list of the front and rear controls by name, number on the illustrations and brief function description (separate from the narrative version that is in the book now). -Book needs a good index. Contents page is not enuf. 73, Charles [hidden email] _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi Dave:
The 'baud rate' is always that user for RTTY( 45.45 bauds), BUT the RATE at which the characters are actually SENT depends upon how fast you can send them to the K3 using the internal keyer... If you send CW at 20 WPM to the K3, then each character will be sent at 45.45 baud, but there will be a lot of dead space between each sent character. If you send CW to the K3 at, say 40 WPM, the characters will still go out at 45.45 bauds, but there'll be less dead time between them... RTTY sent from MEMORY is converted into RTTY at a character speed somewhat less that 'full RTTY character speed' because of the conversion process required to generate the RTTY, but it's probably faster than most of us can (accurately) send CW by hand via a keyer. 73, Tom Hammond N0SS At 19:45 02/14/2008, T.

Hi Charles,
You might want to try <[hidden email]> (or <[hidden email]>) for numbers one and two. Concerning #1) Do you have NR turned on when you hear the bursts? There was a problem with this several firmware revisions ago. Concerning #2) Here in Europe I have not noticed anything like this, and there are medium and short wave transmitters roughly 4 to 5 miles from our club station, where I usually have my K3. Are you sure that these products are being produced in your K3 and, for example, not by oxidized connectors or the like? > Do not know how to adjust the manual notch. It's in the manual, page 24: Hold MAN to adjust the manual notch frequency using VFO B. This also selects manual notch. > Auto SPOT seems not to work every time My experience is, if a signal is not strong enough or if there is more than one signal audible then it does have problems auto-tuning. vy 73 de toby _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to RTTY (call me a RTTY-iot :-).
When doing RTTY the old fashioned way (with a teletype machine) how fast are chars sent? I'm assuming they are sent at the operator's typing speed. With a computer, are RTTY messages buffered and sent in a burst when the OP hits send or are they sent 1 char at a time? If a person generates RTTY from the K3's keyer at 20 wpm is the RTTY going to look odd to the receiver because of excessive inter-char gaps or are those gaps rather common since many of us type slower than 60 wpm? - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - - K3 Wave 3 - -----Original Message----- From: Tom Hammond The 'baud rate' is always that user for RTTY( 45.45 bauds), BUT the RATE at which the characters are actually SENT depends upon how fast you can send them to the K3 using the internal keyer... _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi Keith,
> When doing RTTY the old fashioned way (with a teletype machine) how fast > are chars sent? Depends on how you look at it. The speed of a character is always the same (bit speed) and this defines the baud rate. The number of characters per minute depend on your typing speed, assuming that you can not type so fast that the machine no longer has enough time to get the 5 bits per character out. > If a person generates RTTY from the K3's keyer at 20 wpm is the RTTY > going to look odd to the receiver because of excessive inter-char gaps > or are those gaps rather common since many of us type slower than 60 > wpm? If you are not transmitting from a stored text (paper strips with holes were used for this on the old machines), then gaps are normal. Many people feel it is good to use the "shift to letter" character as a "diddle" during the gaps. vy 73 de toby _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi Keith:
Back in 'the good/bad old days'... when we used model 43 teleprinters, well before computers, 60 WPM RTTY (45.45 baud) characters were SENT at 45.45 bauds, but they were generated at or below the speed at which the operator could type. If he could type 60 WPM, then there was a steady (60 WPM) stream of characters sent out... if he typed at 20 WPM, then there was a stream of 45.45 baud characters... spaced out more widely between each (sent) character. When we started using paper tapes, the stream of 45.45 baud characters was continuous while the tape was being read and sent. With a computer, if text is 'buffered' for sending, then it will be sent out (still at 45.45 baud character generation speed) but also at 60 WPM character speed. If someone is using the K3's CW-to-RTTY feature, and sending at 20 WPM, it will be much akin to watching someone TYPING RTTY using the hunt 'n peck typing method... maybe the 1-finger typing method. There will NOT be added <spaces> between characters (as long at the CW-sending operator sends good clean CW at whatever speed he's sending. IF, however the CW op allows excessive spaces between characters within a word (e.g. sends "HEL LO" instead of "HELLO" the K3 will interpret the first attempt to be two words and it WILL 'force' a word space between the two chunks of the intended single word, so the RTTY op will receive "HEL LO" instead of "HELLO". So... the name of the game when using the K3's CW-to-RTTY conversion feature is to SEND AT A SPEED AT WHICH YOU CAN SEND COMFORTABLY _AND_ CLEANLY, WHILE GENERATING CLEAN, WELL-FORMED WORDS AND SENTENCES. The K3 can't 'guess' at what you wanted to send, nor can it guess at whether the text you sent was properly spaced... it will send WHAT YOU SEND! So there's not reason to try to impress anyone with sending faster than YOU can send cleanly... because your fist WILL be reflected in what the K3 spits out...! A good way to tell, is to have CW DECODE enabled while you are sending... if you see garbage being decoded on-screen while you're sending, then you're probably the cause of that garbage. BACK OFF and regroup! 73, Tom N0SS >I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to RTTY (call me a RTTY-iot :-). >When doing RTTY the old fashioned way (with a teletype machine) how fast >are chars sent?

The Auto-Spot function performs best when the filter is narrow. I find no problems
when the filter is set at 500 Hz.
