In RTTY are you using FSK or AFSK?

I'm surprised that you find the SPEAKER level at 100% as necessary.   Of
course different sound card in computers behave differently.      Also
the Line In at 4 sounds awfully low.   I'd think more toward mid way is
better with better resolution in regard to level changes.    Perhaps
down with the SPEAKER level and up with the Line In level on the K3.

All of this is not just setting a matter of levels.........it is a
balancing act where they all must be in the correct range to finesse
performance.
