[Elecraft] K3 RS323 and Data Modes {was YAQ - Yet Another (K3) Question}

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

Given the increasing difficulty of producing a 45 baud 5 bit code,
having translation both ways in the K3 would be useful, even with a
computer attached.

And the K3 has what I expect to be a reasonably capable CW decoder,
too.  In any case, if the output of the decoder can be sent out the
serial port, a larger display would be pretty simple.

The capability of sending decoded data out the serial port would be
most useful.

   Hi Greg,

   Why would I want to use a soundcard program if I've got a good demodulator
   (RTTY, PSK) in the K3? 

   I would have thought that the K3 can send demodulated data via the
   RS-232 to the computer and the computer would be able to send plain
   ASCII to the K3 for data mode transmission.

   If the K3 can not do this, I would vote that this should be on the future
   feature list.
