[Elecraft] RTTY and K3

[Lee Buller]

I am reading the book here and trying to understand how to set up RTTY or PSK with the K3.  What gets in my way is the RTTY reading and generation algorithm.  I am not all that excited about that right now, but I am just trying to get my sound card hooked up to the Input and Output with PTT as well.  Three simple cables and I am sure where all that goes.

What is confusing is how to set up the radio.  AFSK-A is selected by the B Vfo when you use Data MD.  So supposedly, the line out audio which goes in the sound card will work, but more importantly, the line in of the K3 will accept the audio generated by the soundcard.  I don't have to turn on the TEXT DEC unless I want to see the RTTY message on the K3's screen.  Once I get FSK set up and I would them change VFO B to FSK D.

I think that is right...or have I taken a wrong turn...

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?
